Rosie Wilby

The Crowded Bookshelf presents another episode of its virtual event series Speaking Volumes: Books, Writing, and the World of Publishing. In this episode, Renee speaks with author and comedian Rosie Wilby about her new book The Breakup Monologues.    In 2011, comedian Rosie Wilby was dumped by email . . . though she did feel a little better about it after correcting her ex’s spelling and punctuation. Obsessing about breakups ever since, she embarked on a quest to investigate, understand and conquer the psychology of heartbreak. This book is a love letter to her breakups, a celebration of what they have taught her peppered with anecdotes from illustrious friends and interviews with relationship therapists, scientists and sociologists about separating in the modern age of ghosting, breadcrumbing, and conscious uncoupling.    Order a copy of The Breakup Monologues here (bookmark included while supplies last): https://crowded-bookshelf.indielite.o...

Mary Clare and Gary Ferguson

The Crowded Bookshelf presents another episode of its virtual event series Speaking Volumes: Books, Writing, and the World of Publishing. In this episode, Renee speaks with authors Mary Clare, PhD. and Gary Ferguson about their new book Full Ecology.    Climate anxiety is on the rise. Rather than propose a ten-step plan to save the earth, Full Ecology encourages a more elemental rethinking of our connections to nature. True change, the authors argue, begins with understanding ourselves not as isolated individuals, but as being in harmony with our human and nonhuman worlds. From this process of mindfulness and reflection, they offer an alternative strategy for acting in ecologically healthy ways, and for inspiring others to do the same. Practical and poetic, scientific and spiritual, Full Ecology presents a strong, nourishing foundation for climate action.   Order a copy of Full Ecology here:  https://crowded-bookshelf.indielite.o...

Madeline Martin

The Crowded Bookshelf presents another episode of its virtual event series Speaking Volumes: Books, Writing, and the World of Publishing. In this episode, Renee speaks with author Madeline Martin about her debut historical fiction novel The Last Bookshop in London.    August 1939: London prepares for war as Hitler’s forces sweep across Europe. Grace Bennett has always dreamed of moving to the city, but the bunkers and drawn curtains that she finds on her arrival are not what she expected. And she certainly never imagined she’d wind up working at Primrose Hill, a dusty old bookshop nestled in the heart of London.   Through blackouts and air raids as the Blitz intensifies, Grace discovers the power of storytelling to unite her community in ways she never dreamed—a force that triumphs over even the darkest nights of the war.   Order a copy of the book here:  https://crowded-bookshelf.indielite.o...
