Gilmore To Read: Sarah MacLean Discovers...

Tara Llewellyn & Haley McIntosh
About this episode

My book loving besties! On Wednesdays, we talk books!!!

New York Times Bestselling author, host of her own podcast, and an icon in the romance genre, Sarah MacLean joins me to chat about two new journeys she's on: watching Gilmore girls and writing contemporary novels like her latest release, These Summer Storms (think Succession if Lorelai Gilmore was a Roy!) In the episode, we talk about what it's like for a writer like Sarah to dive into season 1 of Gilmore girls with her own Rory, how she started writing historical romance over a decade ago, and what it was like writing These Summer Storms in the summer of Alice!

If you want more to hear more from Sarah, listen to her podcast, Fated Mates, here!

In September, Gilmore To Read is reading A Witch's Guide To Magical Innkeeping by Sangu Mandanna.
