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.

Nanda Reddy is the author of a girl within a girl within a girl, a novel.

This is the Zibi publishing book.

We are publishing this book with my own publishing company. I'm really

excited about this debut author, Nanda is amazing, and I fell in love with her book. Nanda Reddy is a

Guyanese American writer and former elementary school teacher. She immigrated to the U.S.

with her family when she was nine years old and grew up in Miami, Florida. She loves

visiting off-the-grid places,

hiking, and painting with watercolors. She currently resides in Reno, Nevada, with her husband and two

teenage sons. A girl within a girl within a girl is her first novel. Welcome, Nanda. Thanks for

coming on totally booked to talk about a girl within a girl within a girl. Congratulations.

Thanks for having me.

Of course, as we both know, this is a book that we are publishing at Divi Publishing. And so I had

the great honor of reading very early draft, the earliest, I don't know what draft that was

that you sent in to now, where it's all polished and ready to go. Tell listeners about what a girl within a girl within a girl is about.

Give us the rundown.

Well, I mean, the elevator pitch is that it's about a woman who hides her identity from her husband and her family,

and she has to come clean when her sister finds her.
