In this episode, long-time book lover and mid-time podcast host Julia chats with Olivia Waite, author of many books spanning various genres, but the one thing that ties them all together? The queer representation. Their conversation covers Olivia's newest book: Nobody's Baby, the sequel to Murder by Memory in her Dorothy Gentleman novellas. You'll also hear thoughts on Heated Rivalry, AI slop, and a scathing review of Jonathan Franzen.

Death by TBR (Olivia's favorite books): Jane Eyre by Charlotte Brontë, Night Watch by Terry Pratchett, and After Hours at Dooryard Books by Cat Sebastian

Order Olivia's books from her fave indie bookstores: Ballast Books, Third Place Books, Grand Gesture Books, and Charlie's Queer Books
