Hi, this is Libby Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast, Moms Don't Have Time to Read Books.

I'm also the host of Moms Don't Have Time to Lose Weight, and I'm the editor of the anthology,

which you should run out and buy called Moms Don't Have Time to, a quarantine anthology.

All proceeds of that book go to COVID-19 vaccine research.

And I'm the editor-in-chief of Moms Don't Have Time to Write a new publication on Medium.

And we're accepting submissions, so please send your personal essays there.

And if all that isn't enough, you can follow me on Instagram at Zibby Owens.

And my website is Zibby Owens.com.

Okay, now back to this amazing podcast.

Emily Henry is the best-selling author of people we meet on vacation and also beach read. In fact, they are both on the best

seller list right now. And she's also written several other young adult novels. She lives and writes

in Cincinnati and the part of Kentucky just beneath it. Her books have been featured in BuzzFeed, Oprah Magazine, Entertainment Weekly, The New York Times, The Skim, Shandaland, Betches, Bustle, and more.

Hi, everybody. How are you doing? I hope everybody had a great weekend. I am really excited to be here today with Emily Henry, the best-selling author of People We

We Meet on Vacation.

This is my book of the month copy, by the way, because yes, I am a member there too.

But I am really excited to talk about people we meet on vacation.

And I already interviewed Emily about Beach Read. So if you

haven't listened to my podcast on Mom's Don't have time to read books with Emily for that.

You can go back and do that. And now we're going to talk about her latest book.

Came a bestseller. She had multiple books on the bestseller list, which is so cool.

And also included me the acknowledgments, which was so sweet. Hey, good morning. How are you? Morning. I'm great. How are you? I'm great. Thank you for putting me in your acknowledgments that, like, made my day. I showed my kids. They were like tugging me. I don't know. They thought it was the coolest thing. I would imagine that happens all the time because you really are sort of like the fairy godmother. I think it's what I called you or something guardian angel, whatever, of the book world. And like, yeah, just once you've had the pleasure of doing a Zibby Owens interview, it's just like you will never forget it and you always feel like friends. I feel like it's just,

yeah, of course you were in my acknowledgments. All the same first. Oh, well, thank you.
