Marama and Pamela are joined by special guest, New York Times bestselling author Amie Kaufman, the busiest author in the world! We discuss Amie’s latest books, the sad loss of Alan Rickman, the #OscarsSoWhite controversy, and much more.
How We Hype
Marama raves about Spotlight and rewatching Star Wars: The Force Awakens (and Amie tells us the greatest Star Wars story ever). Pam has been watching the Critics’ Choice Awards and Meg Cabot’s Proposal.
We also discuss Amie’s many, many books:

– Her upcoming Unearthed duology (with Meagan Spooner), out in 2017
– Her fantasy middle-grade trilogy, Elementals, out in 2018
