Kate Quinn

contemporary.

I like, of course, Kate Quinn's pretty good.

It kind of depends on what I'm in the mood for sometimes.

You know, I think that when you consider what it's like to help people, say, at the library find their next good book or their next good read, I think mood is sometimes not considered quite deeply enough because you might be giving them one of their most favorite books, but if they're not in the mood for that at the time, it's not going to go forward.

the historic, I don't use it in a way other people do.

Um, that I have seen, I've seen like Kate Quinn shares.

Um, I don't know if she'll be on her Instagram, but if you like start following her, she'd usually kind of share some of her process sometimes.

And like, she'll do screenshots and have like just historical or like research buckets.

Welcome to the Jane Healey Happy Hour, the podcast that explores new and exciting novels of all genres.

I'm your host, best-selling historical fiction author Jane Healey, and in today's episode, we welcome debut novelist Kevin C. Morris to discuss his atmospheric mystery, Untamed Coast, which author Kate Quinn called a bold, intricately plotted debut unfolding against the beauty and danger of the Alaskan wilderness.

Welcome, Kevin.

Thanks so much.

Aidan Thomas, if you happen to be listening, we'd really love to set up an interview with you to discuss your beautiful books.

If you enjoyed this interview, join us next week for our final Banned Books Week Extravaganza episode, where Marion and I discuss The Astral Library by Kate Quinn.

But don't worry, after we finish the fabulous month of October that we, the Rogue Librarians, have... deemed banned books month, the freedom to read y'all.

We will be right back with another episode in our regular season.

I love the Alice Network too.

I love Kate Quinn.

So Alice Network is one of my favorites.

So people that tend to like my type of books will also like the Alice Network.

Um, I like to browse, I think.

And then I'll go in, I'll read the reviews and things.

And so I think it's more... browsing so I don't have an auto buy I have to get this new one if it's Kate Quinn I'll usually buy it or if it's like an author that I follow but usually I like to browse and sometimes I'm and if I'm going on vacation I'm like I'm going to New Orleans what are some New Orleans books because I like to be time and place too so I'll pick up a book simply because I'm planning on vacation there

I do love, yeah, I love reading a book set in the place that you are.

I think I know where we are going next.

We are diving headfirst into The Alice Network by Kate Quinn.

Oh, incredible book.

Published by William Morrow and another defining pick from that crucial 2017 launch window.

It is just lovely.

The astral library by Kate Quinn.

OK.
