She’s back! Our first repeat guest, Lauren Roberts, joins Morgann on Off The Shelf to catch up on everything—from Fearful lore and behind-the-scenes author life to bookish AITA debates and what’s next for the Powerless TV adaptation. We talk Mara’s name, POVs that didn’t make the cut, burnout, shower thoughts for future books, and all the chaos in between—if you loved her first episode, this one’s even bigger.
