    Seeing Life From a Different Point of View: An Interview with Author Fartumo Kusow

    Megan's Bookish Life was honored to interview author, Fartumo Kusow, who wrote Winter of My Spring, a book that brings to light the point of view of kidnapped girls in Somalian instead of always seeing the "after." As a reader, I really enjoyed seeing a perspective that isn't in my daily life and we chatted all about that. Purchase Winter of My Spring by Fartumo Kusow on AMAZON*, TARGET (use those discounts!) or find it at Bookshop.org that benefits the Chicago indie bookstore, Three Avenues Bookshop Here is a PangoBooks link+ that is selling Winter of My Spring; get it while it's still on sale! AFFILIATE NOTICE: +When you see a plus sign (+) next to a link, it's an affiliate link (OMG at me getting to partner with PangoBooks!) *When you see an asterisk (*) next to a book, that means I get a portion of sales from Amazon. It does not take a cut from the author and doesn't it make it more expensive for you.

    Character Plotting & Betting on Survivor Leagues: An Interview with Author Lisa Suzanne

    I had such a fun time having romance author Lisa Suzanne on the podcast! We chatted about how Lisa's 30th book was her actual first sports romance, whether or not she's interested in writing any hockey books in the future, and whether Portillo's was a huge restaurant back when she lived by Chicago as it is now ( a very important question.) Also, who wants to start a TV show league with me, too? Snap Decision by Lisa Suzanne is OUT NOW! Buy it on Amazon* (it's also on KU!)
