Sneak Peek: Overheard at Zibby's Bookshop!

•18m
In this extra special episode, Zibby sits down with her colleagues and friends, Sherri Puzey (@whatsherrireads) and Diana Tramontano (@99livesofabookgirl), to discuss the opening of Zibby’s Bookshop, a beautiful, highly-curated, community-centered, and (soon to be) author-frequented independent bookstore located at 1113 Montana Ave in Santa Monica. The three share their hopes for the store, and explain how it even came to be – from an impromptu brainstorming session at happy hour and meticulously curating each shelf, to renovating the 800-ft space and planning a 40+ author palooza for opening weekend in record time! (Oh, and this is also the first episode of “Overheard at Zibby’s Bookshop,” the bonus podcast that will stream all in-store book events!)

Jojo Moyes, SOMEONE ELSE'S SHOES: A Novel
February 8, 2023
•29m
Zibby is joined by #1 New York Times bestselling author of Me Before You, Jojo Moyes, to discuss her latest novel Someone Else’s Shoes, which tells the heartwarming and humorous story of two very different women and the gym bag mixup that brings them together and changes their lives. Jojo reveals the inspiration behind this novel and explains why she had to take some serious time off (3.5 years!) before writing it. After 10 years of overworking herself and reaching a breaking point, she finally learned how to take a step back and prioritize herself. The two also discuss Jojo’s persistence (she wrote 8 books before having a bestseller!), her incredible talent for weaving humor and grief into her writing, the book that recently made her cry, and her best advice for writers.
“A heartwarming, humorous and oh-so-human story.”
—Zibby Owens for Good Morning America
