Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club

This week on Bookmarked, Danielle Robay dives under the covers with Amanda Seyfried and Paul Feig to unravel the deliciously twisty adaptation of Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid. From childhood reading memories to mapping the psychology of a woman who’s playing a woman, Amanda shares how she tapped into fear, rage, and complicated motherhood to build one of her most surprising roles yet. Paul reveals how he crafted tension, why he cut a shocking original opening, and what makes this story such a wild ride for audiences. Expect big laughs, big feelings, red herrings galore, and a conversation that’s as layered as the characters themselves.

This might be the ultimate gift-giving episode for all the Bookmarked listeners out there. This week, Danielle gets to sit down with two book bosses and indie bookstore owners, Lucy Yu (Yu and Me Books in New York City) and Emma Straub (Books Are Magic in Brooklyn, NY). Danielle gets to find out what books are hitting their stores’ best-of lists for the year, what books are surprising them, and what books they can't stop thinking about. Danielle also gets to ask Lucy and Emma to come up with books that fit some very specific shopping requests from Bookmarked listeners.
