Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

This 30-minute podcast features a new author interviewed by me every single day, 365 days a year, for about 30 minutes.

I am also the publisher for Zibi Books, which publishes 12 books a year in fiction and memoir.

Our books are already out now.

And we have a magazine called Zibby Mag where we have lots of wonderful essays and lifestyle

features.

That's at Zibbymag.com.

We have classes at Zippy Classes.com.

And I recently opened a bookstore in L.a called zibby's bookshop

at one one one three montana avenue at 11th street in san monica i hope that you are able to

enjoy some of our other offerings but this here podcast is the basis of all of it and started in

2018 and no matter what i do this is basically my of all of it and started in 2018. And no matter what I do, this is basically

my favorite thing. Enjoy. Adel Griffin is the author of The Favor, a novel. Adel is a

New Yorker who enjoys living in Los Angeles, even if it never snows there. She is the author of many

books for new and young people. The favor is her first book for older people. She loves

pull quotes, bakery cakes, and writing about herself in the third person. Find her on Instagram at

Adele Griffin. Welcome, Adele. Thank you so much for coming on moms and have time to read books

to discuss the favor. Thank you for inviting me. I'm excited.

I'm excited too. I'm really loving it. It's so good. I have been obsessed with Evelyn the way

that you write the interior thoughts of, wait, what is the main character's name? I'm totally blanking.

Nora. Nora, of course. The way you write her interior thoughts is so funny and so smart. And the whole thing, I'm just loving it, the vintage world. So I'm really, really loving it. It's good. It's really good. That makes me so happy. Thank you. You're welcome. Okay. So maybe start by telling listeners what the favor is about now that I've kind of jumped in and mangled it.
