Episode #103 with BookPage editor Savanna Walker
This week, on episode #103 of Books Are My People, I’m visited by Savanna Walker, the genre editor for @ReadBookPage . You won’t believe how many books she looks at each month! We talk about the suspense genre, who would play her in the movie version of her life, why I felt like I was in the Blair Witch Project while we were recording, and Savanna is officially the first person to sell me on a romance novel that I’m actually excited to read. (hint: it involves historical fiction.) Plus, she recommends some of her favorite mysteries.
