Hey, friends! Welcome back! I'm so glad you're here, and I'm so excited to introduce you to Hannah Goodman! We had such a fun chat this week, even though I feel like I did most of the talking, lol! Hannah is SUCH a doll! We had so much fun reminiscing about the 90's, our shared high school experiences, and how much I HATE being called an "elder" millennial, being born in 1981. Leave a comment on Spotify with your favorite 80's or 90's book series (Nancy Drew, Babysitter's Club, Sweet Valley Twins, etc...) or favorite 90's author with your favorite book from that author and why. We'd love to connect over our love of the 90s!When you're done leaving a comment, head over to Hannah's website, hannahgoodman.com, or instagram/threads to say hi! Hannah's instagram or threads handle is hannahrgoodman75.Hannah's books are available pretty much anywhere books are sold, so the best way to find them is to head to her website and look at them there. You can then follow the link to your preferred retailer and make your purchase that way. I don't know if Hannah offers signed physical copies, but a lot of authors I know do that through their website, so it's definitely something to look into!I hope you enjoyed this week's episode!

Hey, friends! After a week off, I'm back with a brand new guest! Joe Weinberg is a multi-passionate, AudHD author, who enjoys genre-hopping through his books, so if you can't decide which genre to read, or if you only read one genre, you'll probably find one of his you'll enjoy :) We had a great time talking, and I hope you enjoy it as much as we did!Joe's Recommendation this week is Vagabond by Tim Curry, his memoir about working in show business. Joe mentioned loving reading about the background about some of his favorite Tim Curry movies, and it sounds really interesting! I love memoirs, so I might have to check it out.My recommendation this week is the Goners Trilogy by Kenyon Gagne. Book three isn't out yet, but Kenyon is a good friend of mine, and he creates amazing character-driven sci-fi, so you won't want to miss his writing!

I had such a fun time with Megan Mary this week! Megan is a dream analyst, author, and more, and she had tons to talk about with me on the show! As a dream analyst, Megan works with clients to interpret their dreams, learn to recall their dreams, and learn to use their dreams to uplift their lives. She's using her work in dreams to pursue her Doctorate, which is such a noble pursuit, and I wish her all the best luck in the world! As an author, Megan uses her own dreams and imagination to create worlds and stories to not only help readers in their pursuit of dream interpretation, but to also cozy up with a fun mystery when they need to escape the real world for a little while. Her trilogy, Witches of Maple Hollow, is available in multiple formats and multiple online stores, so be sure to check it out!You can find all sorts of information about Megan on her website, meganmary.com, including a course about dream work, her books, and her podcast! Go say hi and make friends!
