Meagan's Book Club Podcast

I’m back with a mid-year catch-up Q&A episode, and it was really fun to dive deeper into some of the questions submitted earlier this week on Instagram. I share more about leaving the church, how it has affected our kids, relationships with friends and family who are still in the church, and whether we have any interest in seeking out another religion. I also chat about trying alcohol for the first time!!! I discuss more about my job, starting a bookstagram account, making money online, and my plans for the new library space (spoiler: more bookshelves are definitely involved). Plus, I share a little about our summer plans and what our routine looks like this season. I always enjoy these more personal catch-up episodes and hope listeners enjoy getting to know me a little better too!

Happy Summer!

This week on the podcast, I’m joined by bestselling author Annabel Monaghan to chat about her delightful new novel, Dolly All the Time — a heartfelt and funny romance about a single mom returning to her seaside hometown and falling into a fake dating situationship with a wealthy workaholic. Annabel is always such a joy to talk to, and her warmth and humor shine just as brightly in conversation as they do in her books. We catch up on life, writing, and all the latest happenings in her world.

May’s “What I’m Loving” episode is here and somehow we’re already heading toward summer! This month felt especially full in the best way — lots of reading, a few new obsessions, and plenty of little things bringing me joy lately. I always love getting to sit down for these episodes and share the books, shows, habits, and random favorites currently making life feel fun. The lineup for this month’s episode is below. Thanks so much for listening!

1. What I’m Watching
2. What I’m Reading
3. What I’m Cooking
4. What I’m Doing More Of
5. What I’m Buying
6. What I’m Looking Forward To

In this episode, I’m joined by bestselling author Sarah Damoff for a heartfelt and insightful conversation about her writing journey. We chat about the whirlwind year following her debut novel The Bright Years and the meaningful connections she’s made with readers along the way.
Sarah also shares the inspiration behind her newest release, The Burning Side, available now, and what it was like stepping into the world of writing her second novel. We dive into the importance of fiction, how stories shape us, and her thoughtful approach to receiving and growing from constructive feedback.
Sarah is as warm and engaging as her stories, and this conversation was such a joy. I think you’re going to love it.

Hi friends! Today is a little mid-month check-in where we’re chatting about all the things — the books that are working for me this month, the ones that unfortunately were not, what I’m currently reading, and yes… my very random run-in with an A-list celebrity last year that still feels slightly surreal. Also, can we talk about Remarkably Bright Creatures hitting Netflix?!
