Amal El-Mohtar is a co-author of the very buzzy book, "This Is How You Lose The Time War" which was seen in the TV show adaptation of "Heartstopper", and debuted as a solo author this year with "The River Has Roots". You know I love a good physical book, but I highly recommend the audiobook for reasons we chat about in this interview filmed at C2E2 2025.

This was such a fun conversation about sisterhood from the oldest daughter's perspective, sports, and literacy and justice for all, among many other things. The ADHD was strong, but I wouldn't have it any other way. It was such a delightful time!

Cover artists of This Is How You Lose The Time War Deluxe Hardcover Edition: Amanda Hudson of FaceOut Studio.
