ROMANCE ROUNDTABLE! (Featuring Amanda Elliot and Kosoko Jackson)

On a very exciting episode of BOOKS CONNECT US, Carolina and Alyssa host their first Roundtable. Joined by Amanda Elliot (author of Sadie on a Plate and Best Served Hot) and Kosoko Jackson (author of I’m So Not Over You and Dash of Salt and Pepper), this roundtable’s theme is romance! We discuss: what it takes to craft romance -- from chemistry to characters, how the industry has grown to be more inclusive, and how author identity often plays out on the page. Stay tuned for the recap after!  You can find Amanda at www.amandapanitch.com Instagram and Twitter: @amandapanitch  You can find Kosoko at www.kosokojackson.com Instagram and Twitter: @kosokojackson  BOOKS (and authors) MENTIONED IN TODAYS EPISODE:  Books by Amanda: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2243903/amanda-elliot  Books by Kosoko: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/2241956/kosoko-jackson/  Well Met by Jen DeLuca: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/606854/well-met-by-jen-deluca/  Beverly Jenkins  The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas  Red, White and Royal Blue bu Casey McQuiston  Emily Henry: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/306512/emily-henry/  Rainbow High by Alex Sanchez Meredith Schorr Jean Meltzer  Rachel Lynn Solomon  Stone Cold Fox by Rachel Koller Croft: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/711068/stone-cold-fox-by-rachel-koller-croft/  EXe’s and O’s — Amy Lea — https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/673410/exes-and-os-by-amy-lea/  The Manor House Governess by CA Castle — https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/730683/the-manor-house-governess-by-c-a-castle/  The Neighbor Favor by Kristine Forest: https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/books/708466/the-neighbor-favor-by-kristina-forest/  Subscribe and Listen!  Books Connect Us: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/books-connect-us/id1059532301  The Taste Podcast https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/taste/id1393739959  Marlon and Jake Read Dead People: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/marlon-and-jake-read-dead-people/id1492163935  Criminal Types: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/criminal-types/id1681638565
