Today, my worlds are colliding. I am SO excited to share that I am sitting down with debut romance author and former ABC's Bachelorette, Hannah Brown, to discuss her upcoming book "Mistakes We Never Made".  Prior to joining Bookstagram, I was all about creating online content revolving around ABC's The Bachelor, The Bachelorette and Bachelor in Paradise -- so what a treat it was to be pitched an opportunity to sit down with one of my favourite leads ever - Miss Hannah B!!!!  Hannah's autobiography "God Bless This Mess" was one of the earlier books I reviewed on my page, so I was so ..read more

We didn't go too deep into the story with this one, because it's best to go into the book blind!
