Hi, I'm Zibi Owens, and you're listening to the award-winning podcast.

Moms don't have time to read books. Please sign up for my newsletter at Zibbyowens.com for

updates on podcast guests and lots of live events. Hi everybody. Thanks so much for listening.

I hope that you have had a chance to check out We Found Time. Wefound Time.com, my new online

magazine. We have such amazing essays out this week and I really hope you'll take the time to go

read them or send them to friends or see what you think. And I'd love your feedback if you

have any thoughts. All the essays on We Found Time are written by authors who have been on this

podcast already. So it's original content and I think it's really awesome. So I really hope you'll

check it out. This week's sponsor is Nini's Treats, which is my in-laws' crumb cake business. And it is so good. And they had gone on hiatus for a little while, and they're back in business now, stronger than ever. And it's the best crumb cake and all different flavors. And you can order it on goldbelly.com. And their brand is called Nene's Treats. Neney is my husband Kyle's grandmother, N-E-N-E-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-A-R-T-E-A-N-E-A-A-R-E-A-R-E-E-A-R-E-E-R-E-E-R-E-E-E-R-E-E-E-R-E-E-E-R-E-E-E-R- And for everybody who is at home and going stir crazy, it will ship really quickly and fresh,

and you can freeze it if you don't want to eat it right away. So anyway, niniestreats.com or go buy it

on goldbelly.com. I got to interview Rebecca Searle on her pub day, which was really, really

exciting. And she was like in the best mood and bouncing from the walls. And it was before the whole coronavirus came out. And now her tour has been

cut short, but I have very fun reminiscences of being able to celebrate her publication day

with her publicist Ariel Fredman, who I adore and my husband Kyle. And we had a great day. So

try to take some of that joy away when you listen to this episode, even though now we're in a very different time. And here's her bio. Rebecca Searle is the author of six books, and she's a television writer. Her latest novel in five years is the Good Morning America Book Club pick for March of 2020. And by the way, it was a bestseller on the New York Times list. Rebecca co-developed the hit TV adaptation of her YAA series, Famous in Love, and is also the author of The Dinner List and the YA Novels The Edge of Falling and When You Were Mine. She received her MFA from the new school in New York City and currently lives in Los Angeles. Welcome, Rebecca. Thanks for coming on Mom's No Time to Read Books.

I'm so excited to be here with you.

I use that ridiculous tone of voice because it's Rebecca's Pub Day today for in five years.

And there's like so much excitement.

She's like glowing and this beautiful like yellow and white dress.

And oh my gosh, there's, so much excitement in the air.

It's so fun to be here and to share this with you.

I'm very happy.
