‘Who is Maud Dixon' by Alexandra Andrews is a  a fun and fresh premise with lots of mild twists and turns, some obvious, others not so much. I can't really share the plot with you without spoiling anything, but that's also what's fun about this novel -- I had no idea where it was going.

This week we chat with fellow book lover and grant writer Bethany Planton who runs a book club for fellow members of her profession. When she began her own consulting company, she met several other grant writers from around the country through a twitter chat, and they quickly realized that besides sharing a profession, they also shared a love of books. The Grant Pro Bookclub started 6 years ago and has always met virtually, long before the rest of us picked up on the idea when the COVID pandemic began. We talk to Bethany about her undying love of Little Women and Louisa May Alcott, her role as a tourist ambassador for her city, and why it's never too cold for ice cream.

We're celebrating fall in the Jen Hatmaker Book Club (and for those of you who live in the deep south like Jen, our sympathies for the fall leaves you won't see). Whether it's actual fall or the idea of fall that gives you that cozy-up-with-a-blanket-in-your-favorite-chair-with-a-good-book feeling, we're here for it. And we've got just the book for your fall reading–our book of the month is none other than Who Is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews. Alexandra is a journalist, an editor, and copywriter who works from New York and Paris, and this is her very first book! We think she hit it out of the park–and a lot of people feel the same. Who Is Maud Dixon? was named best mystery novel of the year by the New York Times, best book of the year by Time Magazine and has gotten kudos from NPR, Publishers Weekly–and host of other publications.. Can we take a minute to imagine your very first book being met with that level of success? It's so exciting what she's accomplished, and you'll love hearing how she crafted such a page turner–it will surprise you and there's more than one twist, which is the best kind of thriller.  If you're not already a member of the book club, there's so much more to discover in the conversations around amazing books we're reading together. Jump on over to jenhatmakerbookclub.com after this episode to sign up!    Thought-Provoking Quotes:“I'm always inspired the same way, which is reading another book and thinking, oh, I wish I could do that. And for a long time it was mostly nonfiction books and I really wanted to be Joan Didion.”  - Alexandra Andrews “There are a lot of women, or people in general, not just women, who've had a tough upbringing, they've been up against a lot of obstacles, and how much leeway do they deserve, and how much can we really blame them for not having the tools to go after success in ordinary ways?” - Alexandra Andrews “I'd been writing for so long and without any success, and even when I just finished the first draft, I was so happy I finished the first draft. And then when I got an agent, I was just thrilled I had an agent. And then when it sold, every step has felt like icing on the cake.” - Alexandra Andrews   Alexandra's Links Alexandra's website Alexandra's Instagram Books & Resources Mentioned in This EpisodeJoan Didon The Talented Mr. Ripley Elena Ferrante Patricia Highsmith

For today's episode I got to sit down with Chelsea Hoffman and Yolanda Skeete, founders of Thrillers by the Book Club. I can tell you from personal experience that both of these women are sweet and kind in real life, but they have an affinity for, as Chelsea calls it, murder-y books. They found each other online and formed a book club, which has morphed into a real-life book group with 27 chapters around the world. I asked them to join me for a Thriller-Palooza, because I wanted the lowdown on the best of the best in the world of thrillers, and holy moly, did these ladies ever deliver.   Follow the Best Book Ever Podcast on Instagram or on the Best Book Ever Website   Do you have a book you want to tell me about?

On this week's show, we're setting up Bria Schirripa. Bria is a product manager by day and a writer and creator by night. She documents the latest happenings in New York's charming West Village neighborhood on her page, the Bleecker Street Beat. Naturally, her dream Saturday consists of a walk in the neighborhood, in addition to drinking an overpriced latte and hoping for a Timothee Chalamet sighting. Bria is an avid reader, and recently loved the novels The Boys Club by Erica Katz, Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews, and Greenwich Park by Katherine Faulkner, but generally doesn't love fantasy novels. A self-proclaimed snob about pasta, her dream vacation would be in Florence. She thinks she would have thrived in the late ‘70s and ‘80s thanks to big hair and disco.

In Episode 116, Susie Boutry (@NovelVisits) joins me to talk about niching down from traditional genre categories into the micro genres we love.  Over the past year, I have picked up on some key themes and types of books that I can generally count on for successful reading. Today, we're putting them all in one special episode as Susie and I bring you a delightfully overflowing list of the micro genres that work for us, books from each, and why we love them.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish.

Happy New Year and welcome back to the Red Fern Book Review! Amy reviews two of the biggest books of 2021: Who is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra Andrews and Apples Never Fall by Liane Moriarty. Both are bestselling mysteries that are executed very differently. Who is Maud Dixon? is a clever thrill ride that combines an edgy whodunit reminiscent of Patricia Highsmith with the fun and accessibility of Sophie Kinsella. Apples Never Fall is the much anticipated novel by the author of Big Little Lies and Nine Perfect Strangers. The novel focuses on missing matriarch Joy Delaney, her four adult children, husband, and a mysterious houseguest.Books and media discussed:River Cafe Table 4, podcastTig and Cheryl: True Story, podcastWho is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra AndrewsApples Never Fall by Liane MoriartyStrangers on the Train by Patricia HighsmithStrangers on the Train, movie, directed by Alfred HitchcockThe Talented Mr. Ripley by Patricia HighsmithCasablanca, movie, directed by Michael CuritzRemember Me?

Alexandra Andrews joins Zibby for an impromptu therapy session and conversation about her debut novel, Who is Maud Dixon?

Who Is Maud Dixon? is a tale of literary identity theft. And that’s about all I can tell you. When I spoke with Alexandra Andrews about her novel, I assured her we would avoid plot spoilers. But that didn’t stop us from talking about some of the characters, identity, her editing process, and the fact that Who Is Maud Dixon? is Hollywood bound.

What a great time we had gabbing with this debut author about her recently published (and much buzzed-about) novel... almost as great a time as we had reading it!

In this episode, we’re having a conversation about finding time for unpaid work and projects. You know, those things we truly enjoy doing—whether for our own development or personal fulfillment or as a volunteer in an organization—but that can be difficult to make time for during busy days filled with paid work.Like most of our translator and interpreter colleagues, it comes as no surprise that we love the work we do and we sometimes can’t believe that we get paid to do it. But there are also other projects and goals we have that we want to devote time to that we don’t actually earn any money doing. These are things that will help you grow but that are so easy to push aside for a "quieter" day.For example, maybe you have a blog you write, a special project or area of study you’re trying to develop, a hobby you want to lean into, or maybe you volunteer for an organization that means a lot to you. Whatever the project or goal you’re working toward, it can sometimes be hard to find time to work on these things that don’t pay the bills but are fulfilling.So, how do we make time for these projects and goals? We don’t have a secret recipe for success but we’re happy to share our approach and learn what others are doing.Here’s what we discuss in this episode:• What projects we spend time on and why we try to make time for them• How to decide how much time you can devote to unpaid projects and how often you can work on them• How to handle those times when a certain project takes more time than you expected• How to make time for hobbies and overcome that sense of guilt that comes with devoting time to something fun instead of working longer hours or earning more money• How to respond to requests or proposals to work on something that is completely unpaid and that may take up a good bit of your timeResources we mentioned in this episode:• Madalena’s website, courses, and blog• American Translators Association• No-Fail Communication: 13 Workplace Communication Problems and How to Fix Them by Michael Hyatt • No-Fail Meetings: 5 Steps to Orchestrate Productive Meetings (and Avoid all the Rest) by Michael Hyatt• Who is Maud Dixon? by Alexandra AndrewsSee the full list of links and resources for this episode:https://smarthabitsfortranslators.com/podcast-episodes/42

EP108: My latest guest is Thérèse Plummer, an actor and award-winning audiobook narrator, who lives and works in The Big Apple. She has recorded over 500 audio books for various publishers and won the 2020 Audie Award for her collaborative work on "The Only Plane In The Sky: An Oral History of 9/11" by Garrett M. Graff which garnered Audiobook of the Year!   Thérèse was a complete stranger to me when we logged onto Zoom for this interview as I had coordinated the interview through her publicist, but we instantly connected. She's the first actor I've interviewed and I so enjoyed hearing her backstory from being a rebel as a teenager to making the decision, at the last minute, to not go the traditional route of college, and instead followed an inner calling, moving to New Your City to become an actor.   We cover a lot of topics that I think you'll find relatable, but the main thing I came away with is that I believe Thérèse is an old soul, wise beyond her years from a very young age. I found her reflections about life to be quite insightful.   If you'd like to learn more about Thérèse and her interesting career,.below you'll find links to her website and various works:   Website: www.thereseplummer.com Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/plummertherese/ Twitter: https://twitter.com/tplummer76   Books: Tools of the Titans by Tim Ferris: https://amzn.to/3sCYxSp Come Find Me (Audio Play) by Erin Mallon: https://amzn.to/31GRPit Virgin River (Book 1) by Robyn Carr: https://amzn.to/31Bmxcz Who is Maud Dixon by Alexandra Andrews: https://amzn.to/3cExnF4 The Music of Bees by Eileen Garvin: https://amzn.to/3rJXm2h   Flicks: Virgin River (Series on Netflix): https://www.netflix.com/watch/80240027 Nomadland with Frances McDormand (Movie on Hulu): https://g.co/kgs/5e82fg   If you like this podcast but haven't yet given us a 5-star rating or a review (only on Apple iPhones), please do!

Clever, cunning, and diabolical in the best possible way. Anyone longing for a good old-fashioned thrill need look no further Ann Patchett Celebrated, bestselling, elusive...who is Maud Dixon? Florence Darrow wants to be a writer. Correction: Florence Darrow IS going to be a writer.
