Bookreporter Talks To


Jun 9, 2020

For a new kind of interview, Carol is joined this week by Suzanne Skyvara, who is the Vice President of Marketing & Editorial at Goodreads, and Danny Feekes, the Managing Editor at Goodreads. As one of the most useful resources for book lovers, Goodreads has a big hand in sharing great and exciting new reads. A whole host of incredible books have just come out, or will be out soon, ranging from thrillers to literary fiction to memoirs and more. As they make recommendations for great reading, Suzanne and Danny are sharing their thoughts about some books that are trending with Goodreads members that may be flying under the radar, as well as more well-known titles. Both Suzanne and Danny have been meaningful voices in the reading community for quite some time, so we're happy to have them with us this week!
