This week on The Open Books Podcast, we’re diving into all the biggest stories in the book world right now — from jaw-dropping adaptations to authors making headlines. Grab your coffee (or wine, no judgment) and get ready to chat!

We talk about everything from J.Lo starring in The Last Mrs. Parrish (and yes, we have thoughts) to the new Housemaid movie featuring Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. We also dish on Netflix’s Adolescence, where one of the lead actors is writing his own book series (Letters to Sons — how sweet is that?!). And of course, we couldn’t skip over The Woman in Cabin 10 hitting Netflix or the hot topic of authors experimenting with AI.

It’s the kind of episode that feels like catching up with your best friends, full of opinions, excitement, and just the right amount of chaos.
