In this episode of The Open Books Podcast, Amber and Colby break down some of the most talked-about new releases across fantasy, thrillers, literary fiction, memoir, and more. From magical libraries and dark fantasy romance to chilling psychological mysteries and powerful historical stories, we’re sharing the books everyone is buzzing about right now.
We chat about titles from Kate Quinn, Brandon Sanderson, Kerri Maniscalco, Mary Kubica, Kate Alice Marshall, and Jo Nesbø, plus a few emotional literary picks that are already getting major attention.
Then we dive into the biggest piece of book world drama right now—the new Wuthering Heights adaptation directed by Emerald Fennell and starring Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. Between the chaotic press tour, viral marketing moments, and massive box office debut, we talk about why this film might signal a new era for romance-heavy book adaptations in Hollywood.
If you love hearing about new releases, book industry gossip, and what should go on your TBR next, this episode is for you.
