Get Lit With Lianna: The Podcast

Latest Episodes:

Get Lit with Nina Arada, author of "Because Of Us" Mar 02, 2023

Show notes

Today I'm joined by debut romance author and Bookstagram friend, Nina Arada who wrote the emotional, dual timeline romance novel "Because Of Us".
Nina (also known as @pillowtalkreads and @pillowtalkwrites on Instagram!) started her bookstagram account around the same time as me, and we quickly became friends. When she reached out to tell me she has written a book, I was so surprised and SO IMPRESSED!
I knew her love story would be one I'd adore, simply because we have the same taste and preference in romance books. And I was of course right!
"Because Of Us" has been POPPING OFF lately on Kindle Unlimited, and for the right reasons! This is one of the most raw, emotional, swoony and sexy second chance romances I've ever read.
I LOVED chatting with Nina about her decision to start writing, how it's been promoting herself as an author -- while also being a bookstagrammer, favourite moments from this book, and what she's got going on next!

Get Lit with Kayla Olson, author of "The Reunion" Jan 25, 2023

Show notes

Today I’m sitting down with romance author Kayla Olson, who wrote the new book "The Reunion".
When I first heard of this book, I was a smitten kitten. A celebrity romance book with a second chance romance and forced proximity?! GIMME! I was even more stunned to read the dedication at the beginning of the book... to learn that my favourite show ever, Boy Meets World, was actually the inspiration behind this story!
What a great time it was to connect with Kayla Olson, who makes her adult romance debut with this book! We chatted about the transition from YA to adult lit, how she came up with the concept of the book, the best interstitials ever in this story, and she even hinted at what's coming next for her! Tune in now!

With 2023 looming, I wanted to put out one final episode of the year recapping some of my fave reads of 2022. Some of these books are discussed in full length with their authors in episodes over the year, but others are ones that haven't yet been discussed on my show!

Get Lit with Hannah Reynolds, author of "Eight Nights of Flirting" Dec 21, 2022

Show notes

Today I’m joined by romance author Hannah Reynolds, who wrote the new YA/NA holiday romance novel, "Eight Nights of Flirting".
I love all romance books that have Jewish undertones, and when I found out this book was a Hannukah love story - I knew I had to dive right in! This book plays with some of the best tropes including fake dating, practice dating, getting snowed in, and so much more!
I had the best time chatting with Hannah about our shared love for Jewish stories, why she wanted to center this specific love story around Hannukah, and of course what she's working on next!
