Tara Llewellyn & Haley McIntosh
About this episode

Gilmore Girls lovers-- on Wednesdays, we talk books!!!

USA Today Bestselling author, Julie Olivia is on the podcast today where we're talking about her latest novel, the most autumnal book you could possibly find this season-- If It Makes You Happy. If you've been to a bookstore lately, you've seen the gorgeous oranges and reds of the cover I'm sure! A real fall staple in the making.

In the episode, Julie and I discover our connected past, her pivot into novel writing after burnout, what got her into Gilmore girls a few years back and all the inspiration and research that went into writing the most nostalgic book full of all your cozy 90s -ber months favorites. Drop me a line if this episodes convinces you to pick it up on your next bookstore browse!


In October, Gilmore To Read is reading Love Is A War Song by Danica Nava & Alice's Adventures in Wonderland by Lewis Carroll.
