Book of the Month Live

Author Emma Brodie joined us in our headquarters to discuss her new genre-bending book Into the Blue. The conversation covers creativity, yearning, and making the everyday epic, with a few unexpected alien detours along the way.
When video store clerk AJ Graves meets rising actor Noah Drew in 2000, they form an instant bond—until he disappears without a word. Years later, they're reunited on a sci-fi TV set, where on-screen chemistry forces them to confront what they left unresolved.

Author Rachel Wood stopped by our headquarters to discuss her new workplace romance, Annie Knows Everything. What followed went well beyond water cooler chat: a lively conversation about office politics, corporate jargon, and a headstrong heroine HR would not approve of.
After getting fired, Annie bluffs her way into a job she's widely unqualified for, working under an infuriatingly attractive boss who isn't buying it. Now she must survive the job, resist her growing feelings, and stop her sister's disastrous engagement, without everything falling apart.

Author Laura Brooke Robson stopped by our headquarters to discuss her new book, Love is an Algorithm. We got into AI, of course, but also the value of human relationships, not-exactly-happy endings, and what it means to stay creative through it all.  
Opposites attract when an emotional musician meets a logical tech developer. But as his AI-powered dating app takes off, meddling chatbots and quantifiable data force them to navigate some unexpected realities of love in the digital age.

Lolly winner Charlotte McConaghy joined us to discuss the Book of the Year, Wild Dark Shore. There was a celebratory toast (obviously), plus talk of her real life voyage to a seed vault, environmental urgency, and the teenage moment that made her a writer.
In the 2025 Book of the Year, the Salt family tends the world's most precious seeds on a remote island. When a mysterious woman appears during a violent storm, secrets surface and suspense builds amid the breathtaking landscape.

Leodora Darlington stopped by our office to chat about her debut novel The Exes, and immediately started spilling secrets. We got into her original (much deadlier) working title, daddy issues, and dating red flags. It's a conversation about rage, relationships, and the monsters we inherit. 
Natalie is searching for "the one," but her dating history comes with a body count and lapse of memory. As old secrets claw their way into her new relationship, she's forced to confront what really happened to the men she left behind.
