    Poppin' Off with Lovell Holder

    Today’s Poppin' Off episode of Bubbles & Books is an absolute delight and reminds us why we love what we do. We are beyond thrilled to welcome debut author Lovell Holder, who joins us to chat about his thoroughly entertaining new novel, The Book of Luke. Whether you're a reality TV addict or not, you're going to be swept away by this bingeworthy book and its main character, Luke. And after listening to this podcast, we think you're going to love the author as much as we do. This episode if full of the best reality TV gossip, Iowa connections, and a discussion that reminds you how magical it is to discover a really good book. Lovell Holder is an accomplished filmmaker and producer and we're sure a soon-to-be best-selling author. We also hope he's our new best friend. The Book of Luke releases today, and you can snag a signed edition at Dog-Eared Books online or in-store, or you can listen to the audiobook on Libro.fm!
