Hey ya'll! Tati and Yaki are taking a much needed break this week. In the meantime, we have an amazing interview with author Briyanna Michelle. This Philly native is a debut author who is straddling genres to give us unique romance.
About Briyanna: Briyanna Michelle is a 20-something philly native whose love for books started as a young girl looking to escape her reality. She loves to write contemporary romance stories with characters who experiences are relatable, funny, and a little bit of broken. She loves to laugh until she can barely breathe, staying up until 3am reading books, and simply enjoying life. When she isn't writing compelling stories she can be caught being a boss babe.

TW: We discuss assault and abuse.
In this season of Thanksgiving, we are thankful for the folks that read books. One of which is book influencer and BookToker Shincy Shegu. Shincy is a med student, newlywed, and book lover who is living in London. In her own words, "I spend my days balancing the responsibilities of medical school and my ever growing TBR shelf. I grew up on a steady diet of Bollywood and Xena Warrior Princess so it comes as no surprise that my favorite genres are fantasy and romance. While I've lived in many cities across the world I have the heart of a Philly girl through and through. I am currently roaming along the English countryside living out all my bookish dreams."
We talk romance, diversity, and the top books to read before the end of the year.

We interview author Jessica Terry, creator of nearly 25 indie books and several series about her upcoming release The Stubborn Kind. We also talk about her writing process, what inspired her to write romance and her job as a ghostwriter for some very popular folks.
About Jessica:
To Jessica, putting out a new book is twice as exciting as someone saying they brought her food. Writing was her first love (cliché alert) and she loves it as much now as she did when she was a child spending hours and hours holed up in her room creating. This Georgia peach has many interests, having majored in Sport Management at Georgia Southern and gotten certified in Neuromuscular Therapy from Rising Spirit Institute of Natural Health, but writing is always in the top spot. In addition to her novels, Jessica is also a copywriter and a ghostwriter and is working towards her degree in Communications. Jessica still lives in Georgia.
