In this episode, Julia chats with bestselling author, Julie Leong, about her upcoming cozy fantasy The Keeper of Magical Things! Brief Summary: Certainty Bulrush is a mage-in-training and just wants to be useful...unfortunately, she isn't very good at magic. What she *is* good at is connecting with magical inanimate objects, so when she is sent on a too-good-to-be-true assignment to the remote town of Shpelling, it seems everything is going to go exactly as intended. Until, well, it doesn't! Pre-order the book now, or find it at one of Julie's fave local independent bookstores Noe Valley Books and Blue Cypress Books on October 14th!
Death by TBR (Julie's favorite books): Discworld books by Terry Pratchett, jump in with The Witches or Small Gods, The City in Glass by Nghi Vo, The Last Gifts of the Universe by Riley August, The Enchanted Greenhouse by Sarah Beth Durst
