Description

After a fun introductory episode, Season 2 of Books, Beach, & Beyond officially begins with award-winning actor, entrepreneur, producer, and designer Sarah Jessica Parker. Elin, Tim, and SJP shine a light on SJP Lit, the collaboration with Zando and her new imprint that publishes thought-provoking, inclusive, and big-hearted stories which include A Quitter’s Paradise by Elysha Chang, Coleman Hill by Kim Coleman Foote, Women and Children First by Alina Grabowski, and They Dream in Gold by Mai Sennaar (out July 2024). The three gush about their love of reading from their very first favorite books as young children to what draws them to the books they cherish today. They discuss all the titles of SJP Lit and dig into story, character, writing, language, and plot, and touch on many other books they have loved and adored throughout their lives. (Don't miss the full reading list below from this episode!) The episode ends with a speed round of SJP’s auto-read authors and favorite books of the year so far. We hope you can hear the pure passion and genuine joy for reading and books from your hosts Elin and Tim, and this iconic guest and powerhouse publisher, Sarah Jessica Parker!
