“Zibby Owens writes like a woman with her life cracked wide open—and the courage to look straight inside. Between Books is funny, tender, unflinching, and so deeply human." —Jen Hatmaker, author of Awake
From the national bestselling author comes a heartfelt, humorous look at a book lover’s life in relaunch.
Bestselling author and award-winning podcaster Zibby Owens’s life today is very different than it was ten years ago. She went from being an Upper East Side stay-at-home-mom of four to becoming a “book-fluencer” adored by authors and readers, a bookstore owner, publisher, TV personality, event host, and community builder. In her decade of reinvention, like so many women, she gained and lost weight, gained and lost friends. Her lifelong passion for writing and reading helped her through it, as did the many conversations she had with authors on her podcast.
In Between Books, Zibby opens up about the chances she took and mistakes she made, sharing stories of friendship, parenting, divorce, loss, and love.
Critic reviews
"Zibby Owens writes like a woman with her life cracked wide open—and the courage to look straight inside. Between Books is funny, tender, unflinching, and so deeply human. These essays meet us in the messy middle of becoming, where nothing is certain but everything is alive. If you’ve ever found yourself starting over, questioning everything, or scribbling your way through the chaos just to make sense of it, you will feel profoundly seen here. This book is a companion, a permission slip, and a reminder: it is never too late to rewrite your story." —Jen Hatmaker, author of Awake
“It’s wonderful! Intimate, frank, and familiar, Between Books is pure delight. It is as warm and engaging as morning coffee with a best friend. Zibby parses the joys and pains of midlife awakening and reinvention in these bite-sized essays, each one landing with authenticity and humor and honesty." —Susan Orlean, author of Joyride
“A reminder to us all that the messy middle of life is no joke! Disarmingly honest, funny, and a raw exploration of the choices we make and why we make them.” —Amy Griffin, author of The Tell
