Piazza talks about DNFing without guilt, packed fall releases (including Exit Party, Understory, and Switzy), and her upcoming projects: a middle grade multiverse dinosaur series and an adult retelling of The Sound of Music’s Baroness Schraeder. She reflects on industry changes—market crowding, overworked publishers, lighter editing, and social-media attention demands—while praising in-person reader community. She explains becoming a “tradwife” fiction expert after Everyone Is Lying To You and argues fiction channels cultural rage and empathy. </p><p><br></p><p>00:00 Welcome to Book Club</p><p>00:16 Meet Jo Piazza</p><p>01:10 Read Receipts</p><p>11:12 DNF Without Guilt</p><p>12:57 Fall Books Excitement</p><p>16:56 Jo’s Writing Projects</p><p>22:53 Publishing Industry Shifts</p><p>26:08 BookTok Attention Economy</p><p>37:48 The Tradwife Moment Explained</p><p>46:39 Parisian Heist Origins</p><p>52:04 Reader Prescriptions</p><p>59:42 LITigation</p><p>01:02:31 Wrap Up And Sign Off</p><p><br></p><h2><strong>More reading</strong></h2><ul><li><u><a href=\"https://theeverygirl.com/yearning-men/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">12 Yearning Men Author Amanda Gayle Can’t Stop Thinking About</a></u></li><li><u><a href=\"https://theeverygirl.com/dark-academia-books/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">19 Dark Academia Books That Will Suck You In From the First Page</a></u></li><li><u><a href=\"https://theeverygirl.com/witchy-books-to-read/\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">21 Witchy Books to Add to Your TBR This Fall</a></u></li></ul><p><br></p><h2><strong>Books Mentioned</strong></h2><p>1.
