TB just returned from a trip and is exhausted and slightly upset. For the third time this summer, TB’s weekend away was plagued with rain. Lots and lots of rain. But it was nice to catch up with friends. On the work front, TB is still getting words down in the cowrite with Miranda MacLeod. Also, TB is rebranding the Girl Love Happens series, which is a tedious and thankless task. And, Lizzie fans will be happy to hear progress is being made on the next book in the series.

Clare’s life is manic at the moment. Big London Dreams will be published later this month! She’s in the process of finessing the blurb and doing the front and back matter. In techy news, her laptop had a major meltdown, but she walked away, and when she came back, lo and behold, it was working again! Her current WIP has been put on hold due to getting Big London Dreams pubbed.

While cheering on the English football team, Clare had an epiphany that can be applied to writing.

They move on to the main topic: their favorite summer reads. TB breaks her deep, dark, and brooding brand when summer hits and is quite cheerful for three months. This is reflected in her reading choices. Unlike TB, Clare’s reading habits don’t change with the seasons (rom-coms all year round), although she thinks it’s a brilliant plan for authors to include a summer book in their backlist because many people love the idea of summer twelve months out of the year. Clare does mention one book in particular that she’s recommended to all of her friends for the perfect summer read. Have a listen to hear what it is and what magnus opus TB is tackling this summer. In addition, Clare took a poll of her readers for fantastic lesfic summer reads. Book fans won’t want to miss out on this gem of an episode!

Clare and TB
