Today’s podcast will feature New York Times Best-Selling Author Meg Cabot with her new adult fiction hardcover, QUEEN OF BABBLE.  With more than 15 million copies of her books print worldwide, her new novel, tells the hilarious story of lovable blabbermouth Lizzie Nichols, who can't seem to stay out of trouble. . . . What's an American girl with a big mouth but an equally big heart to do?

Lately, the LBS (“Lizzie Broadcasting Service”) has been getting her into more trouble than usual, especially now that she’s blowing her college graduation money on a trip to visit her long-distance boyfriend Andy in London (instead of using it to fund her big city job search and the down payment on a Manhattan apartment).  She can’t keep a secret – except the one about not really graduating college until she completes her senior thesis needed for her “History of Fashion” degree – and once again, her big mouth is going to get the better of her.
