Summary

My bookish besties, we ready to be delighted by the lovely Cara Bastone! The author of Ready or Not, our Reading Is Sexy book club pick for March.

Cara talks about where she got started writing and what it is like to edit her books (spoiler: it starts with devastation) We also discuss how she feels about Gilmore girls and which of Rory's boyfriends she finds herself most drawn too. And then we dive into a spoiler chat (spoiler warning in the episode!!!) about her novel Ready or Not, which she has such wonderful insight into the book and fan favorite character Mr Shep. Nothing but heart eyes for this man and for Eve Hatch herself.

Hope you're delighted <3

0:00.0	Hi y'all, welcome or welcome back to Gilmore to read. I'm your host, Haley, and I'm so glad you're here today. I hope you are ready to be delighted because ready or not. My guest today is Kara Bastone, the author of our
0:21.9	March pick for Reading Is Sexy, our Gilmore Romance Book Club, and that book is ready or not.
0:26.7	But before I dive into the episode with Kara, some book club updates. I have so many author
0:31.8	interviews coming up and still more to be released, so stay tuned for some fun conversations to come. For June for reading
0:38.9	a sexy, we are reading Not Safe for Work by Nisha J. Tully. A woman in a male-dominated workplace
0:44.8	gets selected to go on a work retreat in Hawaii with her work nemesis. If you liked last June's
0:50.5	pick The Paradise Problem by Christina Lauren, you're going to adore this one. It's a fun yet
0:55.2	poignant novel with a splashy hot summer romance. If that sounds like something you would like to read,
1:00.5	please come join us on Patreon. It is free to join the club. And of course, Nisho Be on the Podcast.
1:06.2	Later this summer. For Where You Read, I Will Follow Book Club for June and July, we did a poll on Patreon
1:12.4	and everyone voted on what book they wanted to read. We are going to read a book that Rory
1:17.6	is seen reading in Season 1, Episode 3, Kill Me Now, and that is A Room of Ones Owns Owned by Virginia
1:23.5	Wolf. She's reading this on the bus, but it is optional for you if you want to read it on a
1:27.6	bus or not. We'd love to have you come chat with us in the club about both of those. But back to
1:33.6	today's author guest, I say it in the episode, but if you are a Gilmore Girls fan looking to get
1:38.3	into a good book and or you love romance, Kara Best Stone has the perfect voice for you. She has a great balance of humor and
1:45.5	complex human nature to offer a world you'll want to sink into as much as you do Stars Hollow.
1:51.1	Gilmore Girls book lovers need Kara Bustone's books. I picked this one for the book club because
1:55.7	ready or not is the story of Eve Hatch and her accidental pregnancy. I wanted to explore an
2:00.6	unexpected, expecting mother
2:02.5	like Lorelai, but maybe how she would have dealt with it at an older age with a found family
2:07.6	community around her. But as we talk about it in the episode, this book is as much about pregnancy
