I'm Steph from @Stephanieshouseofbooks and today I'm joined by Adelaide author, Queen of Matilda Bookshop and the person responsible for about 90% of my To Be Read pile, Rose Hartley.
Rose talks to us about what she did when COVID disrupted her debut novel's promo schedule, the book she told a customer was a 'nothing burger' and why she really loves a 'mean, selfish bitch.'
Fans of short books, make sure you check out today's reading list because you're not going to want to miss any of Rose's brilliant recommendations.
