Hi, book lovers. This is Ellen Hilderbrand, best-selling author of 30 books, including the Hotel Mantucket and The Perfect Couple.

And this is Tim Arenberg, creator of Tim Talks Books, and you're listening to Books, Beach and Beyond, presented by N Magazine.

We'll be diving into the wonderful world of books and featuring special guests from

bestselling and award-winning writers, publishing industry insiders, agents and editors, book

influencers, and more.

There's nothing Ellen and I love more than talking about books.

And our favorite question to ask each other is, what are you reading?

But we'll go even further here on the show, exploring the craft of writing, the process

of book publishing, and that wonderful connection a reader has with a favorite book.

But before we head into our episode, we want to take this opportunity to thank our incredible

premier sponsors. Nantucket Book Partners, Marine Home

Center, the Nantucket Hotel, Cartelina, and Nantucket Looms. Without their generous support,

we wouldn't be able to bring you these fascinating conversations with some of the most dynamic

leaders from the book world. So thank you.

And now, on to the show.

Hello, Ellen.

Hi, Tim.

It's been a while since we've been in the studio.

I know. It's exciting.

Five-star weekends spent 11 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list,

three weeks as number one.

Congratulations.
