About this listen

Alex Aster is officially... Booked & Busy 📚✨

Welcome back to another episode of Booked & Busy, and today's a major one! We're welcoming our very first guest author, Alex Aster. In this episode, we deep dive into her viral fantasy series (Lightlark), her New York City rom-com Summer in the City, how BookTok changed everything, and what it's actually like to write four books in a year!

We talk fast-paced fantasy world building, romance tropes, and the reader-favorite Team Grim vs Team Oro debate. Alex also spills on all things Crowntide, the newest installation in the Lightlark series - plus her new adult romantasy book (Starside) and exciting updates on the Lightlark and Summer in the City film adaptations currently in development!

"This or Thats," writing confessions, rapid-fire questions, and a peek into Alex's real everyday life... all of this and more, in this week's episode of Booked & Busy!

Crowntide is now available online or in stores, with Starside hitting the shelves on March 24th, 2026!
