Hi, this is Zibi Owens, and you're listening to Totally Booked with Zibby. Formerly, moms don't have time to read books. In my daily show, I interview today's latest, best-selling, buzziest, or underrated authors and story creators, whose work I think is worth your time. As a bookstore owner, publisher, author, and obviously podcaster, I get a comprehensive

look at everything that's coming out and spend my time curating the best books so you don't

have to.

Stay in the know, get insider insights, and connect with guests like I do every single day.

For more information, go to zibbimedia.com and follow me on Instagram at

Zibby Owens. I interviewed Libby Page, the author of this book made me think of you in person

at my home office. She was in town on a mini book tour from the UK and stopped by my apartment

for an in-person podcast followed by lunch with my Zivu Media team, which was so great. I ravaged

this book, and I even say that, I devoured this book. And it was one of those books where I opened

it up. And from the first page,

I just couldn't put it down to the point of it being inconvenient because I was spending so

much time reading that I had to be doing other things during. And I just couldn't stop reading it.

It's lovely and heartwarming. It's about, well, you'll hear what she says. But I really and

truly love this. And Libby was a delight. If you look on Instagram for when we spoke, you'll see the adorable purse that she was holding, which is definitely worth digging up because it is so cute.

Libby Page is a Sunday Times best-selling author, whose work has been published in over 20 territories around the world, and before becoming

an author, she worked in journalism and marketing. She lives in Somerset England with her husband

and young son. Welcome, Libby. Thank you so much. I'm so excited to be here with you in person

at my desk talking about your amazing book. This book made me think of you. Congratulations.

Oh, thank you so much. Thank you for having me. This is like so amazing to me because I have been just obsessed with this book, loving it, and now I know it just doesn't get old to like have you right in front of me after you wrote this whole thing. It's just the coolest. Well, it's very cool for me as well to be here in New York and, yeah, talking about the books.

Oh my gosh. I loved it. I loved it so much. Oh, my gosh. Okay, tell everybody what the book is about.

Okay, so this book made me think of you is about a woman called Tilly Nightingale, whose husband has sadly recently passed away.

And she finds out that before he died, he arranged a year of books for her.
