In this week's episode, I go over the five reading goals I made for 2025, and I share my progress on each one.
Kristin Offiler is a debut author. Her novel The Housewarming was published this past summer. In this episode, we chat about the many revisions it took for her book to get published, what her publishing journey looked like, and what her day-to-day looks like as an author/mom.
I recently read Just Friends by Haley Pham as an advanced reader copy through NetGalley. Listen to this episode to hear my thoughts.
Carola Lovering is the author of Too Good To Be True, Can't Look Away, Bye, Baby, and Tell Me Lies, which was adapted into the hit TV show on Hulu. Carola shares her story of becoming a published author, which took longer than one would expect, based on the success of Tell Me Lies. She also talks about the intimidation she faced when writing her sophomore novel, and she teases her fifth book.
This episode contains spoilers for The Guest by Emma Cline. Next month's spoiler session episode will be on The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware and it will be released on October 6th.

In this episode, I take you on a tour of my NetGalley Shelf, including the books in my Give Feedback tab, Pending tab, and Will Not Give Feedback tab.
Alissa DeRogatis is the author of Call It What You Want, a novel about situationships and heartbreak. In this episode, we talk about Alissa's personal experiences that shaped this novel, and how her book became an overnight TikTok sensation. Be on the lookout for information on her upcoming novel, How to Find Love in the Cereal Aisle.
It's time for a new segment on the Read with Jul podcast! I am trialing a little something I like to call Spoiler Session episodes - think of it like a one way book club! Our first Spoiler Session pick is The Guest by Emma Cline - read it by September 8th if you want to listen to my full thoughts on the book!
Kate Broad is the author of the recent novel, Greenwich. Greenwich is a stunning debut that is the perfect summer read. While this episode is spoiler-free, listeners will benefit from reading the book first, to get a better understanding of the characters that we chat about in this character deep dive.
In this chatty episode, I talk about the books I've read recently as well as why I am cancelling my Book of the Month subscription.
I had the absolute honor of interviewing Clare Leslie Hall, the author of Broken Country, the novel that recently took the book world by storm. Please note that the first couple of questions are spoiler-free, and then I give a heads-up once we enter spoiler territory. Enjoy!
In the beginning of 2025, I made a list of five goals that I wanted to achieve by the end of the year. In this week's episode, I check-in with how I am doing on each of these goals.

In this conversation with Julie Olivia, we discuss the behind the scenes of being a romance author. Julie highlights finding out that her novel, If It Makes You Happy, was picked up to be traditionally published by Berkley.
