In Episode 9, It\u2019s Giving Magic, we\u2019re hanging out with the one and only Sierra Simone to talk about books that just have that thing. You know, the ones that feel a little enchanted and stick with you long after you finish them. We get into everything from indie vs. trad publishing and taking creative risks to sisterhood, super fans, and what really makes a story feel magical.
