    All About Grayslake AuthorFest 2026!

    Today’s episode is a special one: we’re talking about Grayslake AuthorFest 2026! Author and event co-founder, Zee Lacson joined the podcast to tell everyone about the coolest book event in Grayslake, Illinois that takes place 11 am- 4 pm on Saturday, July 18th and it’s location is at the Grayslake Heritage Center & Museum. What will you find at AuthorFest this year? “There are more than 50 authors, bookish vendors, author panels, workshops, bookmark making, caricatures, typewriter poetry, a selfie station ... and a day of literary joy.” This episode expands on what you're find and experiences you can participate in (I'm excited the most for the typewriter poetry and the community book exchange!) I’ll also be there, doing my first ever Portable Podcast (which is what I’m calling it) and I will be interviewing authors, vendors, and readers alike. It will be a recorded podcast so it will be put up on streaming platforms in the coming weeks! See you all there!

    Out of Thin Air: An Interview with Nonfiction Author, Ant Adeane

    Ant Adeane is a documentary film maker, a true crime author, and a podcast series producer. He came on Megan's Bookish Life to chat about THE Icelandic crime of 1974, The Guðmundur and Geirfinnur case (which is still unsolved and might possibility stay that way forever.) Ant and I chatted about the deep research he had to do for his BBC/ Netflix documentary in 2017, the way I really enjoyed the style of how he wrote about this case in his book, Out of Thin Air, and how he has fans in random US places, including Illinois. Thank you, Ant, for reading my email that said "you're my dream podcast guest because I loved your book so much" and then actually came on. You're great. You can purchase Out of Thin Air on pre-owned sites or on AMAZON Ant's Links Website: AntAdeane.comListen to Three Million, the history podcast Ant produced Megan's Links ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Facebook page⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠ for MBLInstagram: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MegansBookishLifePodcast⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Check out MBL's YouTube channel: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠@MegansBookishLife⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Website: ⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠MegansBookishLifePodcast.com⁠⁠⁠⁠
