The Chapters

Happy Friday, book lovers! We are so excited for you to join us in this episode to chat with decorated start up founder and author, Tahmima Anam! We were able to combine our two passions, books, and supporting female-owned businesses in this chat with this month's author. Tahmima has channelled her own observations and experiences of being a woman in the tech world, navigating sexism, misogyny, and racism, into her book, The Start Up Wife. Tahmima is a bubbly, funny, intelligent Bangladeshi born British writer who has spent much of her life in America, where she has had experience of the start up world, being a writer of a historical fiction trilogy series, and now penning contemporary fiction titles. The Start Up Wife is a witty, satorical insight into what it means to be a woman in a world and an environment built for men. We chose The Start Up Wife as our book of the month as it fully encapsulated our Main Character Moment theme; depicting a protagonist who is strong willed, complex, flawed, and ambitious, with a strong network of amazing women around her supporting her to take back ownership of the company she built, and pave the way for sisterhood, rebellion, and respect. Get your copy of The Start Up Wife, alongside other amazing gifts in our subscription box, linked below!

Hey book lovers! In this new episode, join Issie and Molly as they talk to Oprah-approved novelist and inspiring woman, Imbolo Mbue, author of this month's book of the month, How Beautiful We Were. We were so overjoyed to be able to pose all of our questions to Imbolo about her climate fiction, How Beautiful We Were, which we featured in our subscription boxes in pre release paperback format - which means our subscribers got their hands on the paperback early! Imbolo had so much wisdom to share about her research, everything she learned in the 19 years she was writing this novel, and about her journey as a writer, from her debut, Behold the Dreamers, to being featured in Oprah's Book Club! One thing we do want to make you aware of, is that the recording quality of this audio is not everything we wanted it to be, due to having to record Imbolo from America, and do the whole interview via Zoom! We made it work, and our podcast editor has made this sound as great as possible, and the main thing is that we can hear Imbolo and all her amazing insights, so please do excuse the quality, we were wrangling with technology throughout!
