Booked, Blonde & Busy is for the girl with seventeen open tabs and one book on her nightstand collecting dust… and for the girl who just finished her third book this month. Hosted by model, reader, and cultural chameleon Olivia Ponton, each episode uses books as a lens to explore identity, ambition, culture, and everything in between - with authors and public figures who remind us that the most interesting people are always the hardest to put in a box. Because everyone is more than one thing, and the best books have always known that.

    The Art World + What The Rich Really Do With Their Time... w/ Author Alexandra Andrews | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton

    Growing up on the Upper East Side, author Alexandra Andrews is all too familiar with the secret lives of the ultra-wealthy, and is not afraid to write about it in her book The Fine Art of Lying.  From art auctions, archaeology, and a lifestyle so absurd it will have you asking… is this actually what people do with their free time??  xoxo,  Olivia  Timestamps 00:04-01:30 Archeology  01:31-02:29 Art auction politics

    The Fine Art of the Mystery Thriller with Alexandra Andrews | Booked, Blonde & Busy w/ Olivia Ponton

    Hi angels! 🪽 Today I am sitting down with one of the hottest authors on the market right now, Miss Alexandra Andrews! She writes sexy thrillers with complicated, morally gray women and we are so obviously here for it. 💁‍♀️ Her newest book The Fine Art of Lying has not only consumed my brain for the last few weeks, but is also Reese’s Book Club pick for the month of May AND an adaptation is already in the works with Scarlett Johansson attached. Watch while we discuss Alexandra’s writing process, from plotting out all the crazy twists to how her daughter inspires her. xoxo, Olivia 🎀
