00:02:59
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:03:02
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:03:03

Veronica Adams
like we're We're in a transition phase that way. I don't know.

00:04:30
1852media
Oh, you know, all of a sudden. and
00:04:36
Veronica Adams
that i
00:04:36
1852media
Yeah.
00:04:36
Veronica Adams
like It's like, I don't know, wading through molasses with the sun shining down on you or something, right?
00:04:43
1852media
yeah Yeah, yeah.
00:04:45
Veronica Adams
Like it's a really nice day. It's really pretty to look at, but also I'm not moving very fast over here.
00:04:50
1852media
Yup.
00:04:51
Veronica Adams
um
00:04:53
1852media
So if you're feeling like that too, we got you.
00:04:55
Veronica Adams
Very weird headspace, yeah.
00:04:56
1852media
It's, it's, you are not alone. It has been a weird week, uh, for that, you know, definitely moments of joy, but then also moments of how is this taking 20 hundred years to get done?
00:04:59
Veronica Adams
For sure.
00:05:02
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:05:06
Veronica Adams
Okay.
00:05:09
Veronica Adams
Right? Right?
00:05:10
1852media
And you just feel like you're not moving forward. So.
Venturing into Local Politics
00:05:13
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Well, but I think we are, all of us, even if we don't feel it.
00:05:16
1852media
Oh yeah, we are.
00:05:18
Veronica Adams
I mean, look at you. um Heather is entering local politics, like...
00:05:25
1852media
I am. I am.
00:05:26
Veronica Adams
i'm Well, I'm so proud of her, and she probably would not bring it up if I didn't mention it, but like, right?
00:05:29
1852media
Yeah. I would not. It's fine.
00:05:32
Veronica Adams
No, well, I mean, it's not...
00:05:33
1852media
It's fine. I'm very open about it.
00:05:35
Veronica Adams
It's not a big deal, right? Like you're just getting involved to meet the need.
00:05:37
1852media
No.
00:05:38
Veronica Adams
There's a need in your community for candidates for a very basic and.
00:05:39
1852media
Yes.
00:05:44
1852media
Not massive time commitment thing.
00:05:46
Veronica Adams
Well, right. And I don't, I don't understand if the position is political or if you're just filling the need the community has for this particular type of person who does government and community service.
00:05:54
1852media
Yeah.
00:05:57
Veronica Adams
And party affiliation is really not a big deal in this particular situation.
00:05:57
1852media
So, okay, so no, I mean, so the the position itself, we have to run on a party ticket.
00:06:08
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:06:08
1852media
um However, the actual position itself is not, I mean, it's not really political in nature. We
00:06:14
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:06:15
1852media
We will be you know checking people in as they come in to vote and doing some election counting.
00:06:24
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:06:24
1852media
And then we also listen to if people have questions.
00:06:28
Veronica Adams
Sure.
00:06:30
1852media
or really more gripes, let's be honest, about their assessment so property a real property assessment.
00:06:37
Veronica Adams
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:38
1852media
um We would be the board that hears that. It's not it's ah it's a board of people. It's not just like one position.
00:06:43
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:06:45
1852media
It's a group of people.
00:06:46
Veronica Adams
You mean you're not going to be giving like amnesty to taxpayers who want their bills reduced?
00:06:46
1852media
um
00:06:49
1852media
No. No.
00:06:51
Veronica Adams
They're just forgiven.
00:06:54
1852media
and Yeah, and, you know, sometimes mistakes happen, right?
00:06:57
Veronica Adams
Sure.
00:06:57
1852media
Like we, you know, sometimes your house gets assessed in a wonky way.
00:07:01
Veronica Adams
yeah
00:07:01
1852media
So that's the board, we would I would be on the board that helps to, you know, hear that.
00:07:06
Veronica Adams
ah make those adjustments in here, those cases. Yeah.
00:07:08
1852media
Yes. And then we also would be able to marry people. So I can marry i can marry people and sign the marriage certificate.
00:07:16
Veronica Adams
Awesome.
00:07:16
1852media
I'm running as Justice of the Peace for my small town.
00:07:20
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:07:21
1852media
And those are the tasks. It's very different in every different town. So you'll hear Justice of the Peace for different places.
00:07:24
Veronica Adams
Sure.
00:07:27
1852media
And they have different tasks assigned to it. That is what I was told.
00:07:32
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:07:36
1852media
that my small town, um that those are the duties for my small town.
00:07:38
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:07:41
1852media
So that's my expectation. And I love that. I love that I will be able to marry people in a civil ceremony. And I think that's really, really neat.
00:07:51
Veronica Adams
And I think it's great that you're getting involved grassroots, local level, like just stepping into a position that your community needs filled.
00:07:51
1852media
And it's...
00:07:55
1852media
Yeah.
00:08:00
1852media
They need people. And you know if not me, who? right um you know i I'm in a position where my son's about to go off to college, which frees up some time from you know parenting responsibilities, daily parenting responsibility.
00:08:04
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:08:09
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:08:14
Veronica Adams
yeah
00:08:17
1852media
You are forever a parent, but daily parenting responsibilities.
00:08:19
Veronica Adams
That depends on who you ask, but yes.
00:08:21
1852media
Well, here we are always a parent.
00:08:25
Veronica Adams
Yes, you will always be a parent, of course.
00:08:26
1852media
Yes. Uh, so I had some, uh, some, you know, a little bit of free time, not a lot. And this didn't seem like a massive time commitment.
00:08:33
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:08:35
1852media
They said they heard two, uh, assessment issues last year. So I'm not expecting a massive, you know, calendar.
00:08:41
Veronica Adams
No, no big workload here. Yeah.
00:08:43
1852media
Right. Um, and it's something that I can give back to my community, learn, get to know people in my community, learn about,
00:08:47
Veronica Adams
Okay.
00:08:50
1852media
you know who is running the town now and how it runs and if there's other positions in the in the future that I could be in interested in maybe.
00:08:57
Veronica Adams
Sure. Yeah.
00:08:59
1852media
But yeah, it's a nice way to to dip your toe in. So if you are thinking about going out and getting involved in your community, you should check that out. Look at the different positions that are available because not every, that was my concern.
00:09:08
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:09:12
1852media
I was like, oh my God, I don't know any, like i I have a degree in political science, but that doesn't mean that I know how my town is run, right?
00:09:15
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:09:20
1852media
like So if you're nervous about getting involved, try to go and talk to your your local community members, you know your local caucuses, whoever is in charge of that.
00:09:20
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:09:29
Veronica Adams
Yep. Go to go to a party meeting or a countless city council meeting, a local government meeting, school board meeting.
00:09:33
1852media
Yeah.
00:09:37
1852media
And get involved, right?
00:09:37
Veronica Adams
I mean, yeah.
00:09:40
1852media
get involved and find out how you can help. And it might be as filling a position like this that is needed.
00:09:44
Veronica Adams
Yep.
00:09:46
1852media
Because if they don't get enough people, then the the board has less people on it and that's not great.
00:09:51
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:09:52
1852media
So when, if you do have an issue and you want to bring it up in front of the board, you don't want a board that has empty seats on it.
00:09:52
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:10:02
1852media
You want enough people to be able to give it you know the thought that is required, so.
00:10:03
Veronica Adams
Right. Right.
00:10:08
1852media
Anyway, think and look at look at your community and see how you can give back if you have the time to be able to do that.
00:10:11
Veronica Adams
For sure.
00:10:13
1852media
And don't forget to get out and vote, period.

1852media
Of course I did. Listen, this is, so like I said, there are 12 spots available and I'm, I'm not sure there are more than 12 people running on both and for an all party ticket.
00:10:43
Veronica Adams

00:10:47
1852media

00:11:04
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:11:06
1852media

Well, what is a campaign marketing?
00:12:16
1852media
As you can tell, as you right as you could tell we have had a week and we don't really have a ah huge topic to talk about today. We actually do have some things that we were going to talk about. but

Yes.
00:13:53
1852media
The fact that
00:13:53
Veronica Adams
Taylor's BFF, Mrs.
00:13:55
1852media
The fact that Ryan Reynolds, yeah, it's amazing.
00:13:55
Veronica Adams
Ryan Reynolds, like how could you be mad at that casting? I know.
00:14:01
1852media
I mean, the fact that we are, you know, I'm now like what, two degrees of separation from Ryan Reynolds. Isn't that crazy?
00:14:08
Veronica Adams
Holy shit, yeah. That's wild.
00:14:10
1852media
I love it. It's wild. We've just wed just shrunk.
00:14:13
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:14:13
1852media
um That's what I think about. Love Ryan. Love Blake Lively. I think they're hilarious together.
00:14:20
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:14:22
1852media
I mean, the two of them. But I saw some interviews that Ryan did to help promote the movie. And it's just so, so great how he, you know, really supports his wife.
00:14:28
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:14:33
Veronica Adams
Supports her.
00:14:35
1852media
Yeah. And and screams from the rooftops how much he loves her.
00:14:35
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:14:38
1852media
It's great. But yeah, the the movie is out today. And this is, you know, the book itself was controversial. I usually controversial.
00:14:46
Veronica Adams
Hugely controversial. Oh my god, I remember you.
00:14:49
1852media
Oh my God.
00:14:50
Veronica Adams
I remember when it first came out, when it was first released and everybody was just going absolutely nuts over it in both good and bad ways.
00:14:55
1852media
Yeah.
00:14:57
Veronica Adams
like And it has been it is it has retained its hot button quality all these years.
00:14:57
1852media
Right.
00:15:04
1852media
Yes.
00:15:05
Veronica Adams
like You either really loved it or it just was not for you.
00:15:11
1852media
Correct.
00:15:12
1852media
Correct.
00:15:12
Veronica Adams
I've not met or run into many people who have felt somewhat in the middle of those two positions on on the book.
00:15:18
1852media
Yeah.
00:15:21
1852media
Correct. I actually own them. I own a signed copy of the book.
00:15:25
Veronica Adams
I know you do.
00:15:26
1852media
um I believe so, yes.
00:15:26
Veronica Adams
First, first edition, right?
00:15:30
1852media
I've never read the book.
00:15:35
1852media
I mean, I own a signed copy because a friend of mine was going to a signing where Colleen was going to be and asked if I wanted a copy.
00:15:41
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:15:42
1852media
And I said, absolutely yes, 100%.
00:15:44
Veronica Adams
Of course I do. Right.
00:15:45
1852media
Of course I do.
00:15:45
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:15:46
1852media
And so she got it for me. Thank you so much, Lauren. That was so kind of you. And I now have it and I just have it. It's been on but on my bookshelf and I just haven't read it.
00:15:57
1852media
Also because I've read many Colleen books and they all make me cry. like ugly cry.
00:16:04
Veronica Adams
You have to be in, well, and you are not by nature ah extroverted in your emotional nature.
00:16:06
1852media
Yeah.
00:16:12
Veronica Adams
So like, you have to be in the right head space for a good cry book.
00:16:13
1852media
Right. I'm not a motive. Yes, i have to have I have to book a whole day if I'm going to get, like truly, I have to book a day where I'm not doing anything.
00:16:17
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:16:24
1852media
And unfortunately those days just haven't really happened um where I can read this book and get in my feels because that's, I know that's what's going to happen.
00:16:27
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Right.
00:16:34
1852media
I'm going to ugly sob.
00:16:35
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:16:36
1852media
And then it puts me in this wonky head space for a little bit.
00:16:39
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:16:40
1852media
um And so I have to prepare for that. And that's just me that I know that about myself.
00:16:44
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:16:46
1852media
So I have not yet read it.
00:16:47
Veronica Adams
Meanwhile, I tell a joke and I'm crying, like literally right now.
00:16:49
1852media
Yeah.
00:16:50
Veronica Adams
So like, yeah, we we are not the same, you and I.
00:16:55
1852media
No, no, it takes a lot for me. I don't know. I'm just not very emotive. I'm not.
00:17:01
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:17:02
1852media
um Call it, you know, um RBF, whatever.
00:17:02
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:17:06
Veronica Adams
Well, we can't be the same person in every aspect.
00:17:07
1852media
It's just, yeah, I have emotions. Yeah, I have emotions. They're there. I feel things very deeply. I just don't always emote them.
00:17:18
Veronica Adams
they're simmering under the surface.
00:17:19
1852media
So yeah, they're there.
00:17:20
Veronica Adams
And but that's just you. that's And that's totally cool. But yeah, the whole point being that a Colleen read is absolutely tissues required.
00:17:24
1852media
Yeah.
00:17:29
Veronica Adams
I don't think I've ever read any of Colleen's books and not needed some tissues at some point during the process.
00:17:30
1852media
100%.
00:17:35
Veronica Adams
Like it's just, you're going to get great storytelling.
00:17:35
1852media
Yeah. I mean, slammed, sobbed.
00:17:40
Veronica Adams
But yes, but also, you're really going to have a
00:17:41
1852media
Yeah.
00:17:45
Veronica Adams
maybe even a catharsis, honestly, like depending on which book you pick and who you are and, you know, how, how you respond to that stuff.
00:17:47
1852media
yeah
00:17:50
1852media
She evokes a emotion.
00:17:52
Veronica Adams
For sure.
00:17:52
1852media
she She evokes emotion. Whether you love that or you hate it, she evokes emotion.
00:17:54
Veronica Adams
For sure.
00:17:57
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:17:57
1852media
And that, to me, is the mark of a very talented author. And that's why she's done so well, because she does evoke emotion.
00:18:03
Veronica Adams
Agreed. Yep.
00:18:06
1852media
And and Ends With Us absolutely does that. It evokes emotion. So I generally know what the story is about. like you know Spoilers have occurred since the the book has come out, obviously.
00:18:14
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:18:19
1852media
And I'm fine with that. It is what it is. But I've heard that the movie is fantastic, that it's a great representation of the book, which doesn't always happen.
00:18:28
Veronica Adams
So early response is that the adaptation is actually like a really good fit with the novel.
00:18:34
1852media
Yeah. Yeah. Which is great.
00:18:37
Veronica Adams
That's honestly unusual. You know, here um here in book world, the idea that the movie was better or just as good is is almost sacrilegious or blasphemous.
00:18:39
1852media
Very unusual.
00:18:46
Veronica Adams
I mean, the book is always better.
00:18:47
1852media
And the book is always better.
00:18:51
1852media
always. And as a general rule, of course the book is always better because you can just, there's so much more detail you can put into a book that you can, that doesn't translate into film.
00:19:00
Veronica Adams
Sure. Sure.
00:19:02
1852media
You can do, you know, internal dialogue and your own head and the character's heads and all of that, that you can't, that doesn't translate always to film.
00:19:08
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:19:10
Veronica Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:19:11
1852media
So of course the book's always better, but yeah, this one apparently translates really well. to film, they did a great job. They did change some things that I did see people were like a little up in arms about, you know, and all that.
00:19:24
1852media
Okay, fine.
00:19:25
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:19:25
1852media
But they, you have to, like in order to make a film work, you have to change certain things.
00:19:27
Veronica Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:19:31
1852media
um But for the most part, i've I've heard positive reviews and everyone that saw it at Book Bonanza loved, you know, loved it.
00:19:34
Veronica Adams
Yeah, me too. Loved it. Yeah.
00:19:41
1852media
That at least that I've spoken to. So yeah, that's, it's a really big deal.
00:19:46
Veronica Adams
Well, okay, but if you didn't love it, would you be like, to Blake Lively's face? Like, yeah, this wasn't that great. like
00:19:51
1852media
No, but I feel like in private conversations, you would have, yeah, you know, that's...
00:19:54
Veronica Adams
Yes, no, of course. No, the whisper the Whisper network would have let slip that this was problematic or it just wasn't that great.
00:20:00
1852media
Yeah.
00:20:01
Veronica Adams
like da We would eventually have heard it through the rumor mill.
00:20:04
1852media
Yeah, through the grapevine.
00:20:05
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:20:06
1852media
with that with our ears to the ground as they are, I would have heard about it.
00:20:08
Veronica Adams
Yeah, indeed.
00:20:11
1852media
But yeah, everyone's saying that they really enjoyed it. What I liked this week on social media is that people post it but people in romance landia on Facebook changed their profile pictures to them and Colleen Hinver.
00:20:25
Veronica Adams
Yes. Yes.
00:20:25
1852media
So if you had a photo of you and Colleen from over the past you know years, you know people were changing their profile pictures to that you know as a temporary picture.
00:20:27
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:20:34
1852media
and
00:20:35
Veronica Adams
yeah
00:20:36
1852media
It was so heartwarming. And she actually, she came on and she made a post and she's like, because it was totally unprompted. It's not like people told people to do this.
00:20:42
Veronica Adams
yeah
00:20:44
1852media
One person did it and then it just sort of, you know, rolled.
00:20:48
Veronica Adams
Domino effects. Yeah.
00:20:49
1852media
Domino effect. And she came on and just said, like, you know, how, like, overwhelmingly wonderful that was to her.
00:20:58
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:20:58
1852media
Like, she was just, for Klimt over that because it was such an outpouring of love and support to her.
00:21:02
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:21:05
Veronica Adams
Well, I have never met Colleen, but I have also never heard a truly horrible thing about her either.
00:21:12
1852media
Yeah. Yeah.
00:21:14
Veronica Adams
you know Everybody has different experiences and everybody has different moods on different days.
00:21:18
1852media
Yeah.
00:21:19
Veronica Adams
and ah you know I've heard entitled people complaining about maybe she wasn't what they thought she was supposed to be at one event or another, but I have never heard a genuinely bad thing about Colleen.
00:21:30
Veronica Adams
like She's just, a I think, you know from observation only, a really good human like and deserving of the support.
00:21:31
1852media
Same.
00:21:34
1852media
saying
00:21:38
1852media
i I'm pretty sure I had to have been in an event with her at some point.
00:21:44
Veronica Adams
There is no doubt in my mind that you've met her at some point.
00:21:46
1852media
I feel like I probably have. i don't I don't remember. If I did need her, it was back in 2006, or 2016, sorry, um when I was going to a whole lot of conventions.
00:21:54
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:21:58
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:21:59
1852media
2016, 2017, I ran the circuit a couple times, it felt.
00:22:01
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:22:05
1852media
So I was going to a lot. It is very possible I met her at that point. i
00:22:09
1852media
i don't Or at least was at the same event with her, but I don't have a photo with her and I don't recall Meaning her and but same I have heard nothing but amazing things about Colleen How she's just you know, she's a kind person.
00:22:09
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:22:26
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:22:26
1852media
I love her story. I love how she started writing how I um And I love how humble she stayed throughout her success.
00:22:31
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:22:36
1852media
She's really a down-to-earth person. she's She jokes around a lot. She you know obviously is very successful now, but has not really seemed to change much in personality.
00:22:46
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:22:49
1852media
And that's lovely to say. I think her family keeps her very grounded, which is wonderful. So it's it's cool to say we we love you, Colleen. We are thrilled for your success.
00:23:00
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:23:01
1852media
I mean, it's it's great, love seeing it happen.
00:23:02
Veronica Adams
Love seeing this happen. Love seeing this happen. Yeah.
00:23:06
1852media
um And this is honestly, I mean, there's been other things, Bridgerton obviously huge with Julia Quinn and all of that.
00:23:09
Veronica Adams
Oh, my God. Yeah.
00:23:13
1852media
um
00:23:13
Veronica Adams
Well, and and how unique it has been in terms of Netflix's adaptation and the the production value and being ah inclusive and representative with the casting.
00:23:16
1852media
Excuse me.
00:23:24
1852media
Yeah. I mean, they changed the story there too, when people had some, people had thoughts.
00:23:25
Veronica Adams
You know, yeah.
00:23:29
1852media
um But you're going to, you're it's going to happen with these things.
00:23:32
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:23:34
1852media
The Idea of You by Robin Lee, that has also been adapted recently.
00:23:36
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:23:40
1852media
um What else? And then obviously 50, you know, that was the, that was the big thing.
00:23:43
Veronica Adams
Oh, well, of course. I mean, E.L., you know, the queen, right? Like, yes.
00:23:47
1852media
The Queen, yes. And EL James, I have met. um I have met her and spoken to her and hung out with her and she is a lovely human being.
00:23:57
Veronica Adams
I will not share what you were doing when you hung out with her. But I will say, I remember distinctly the night you texted me to tell me that you had hung out with her. And I was like, no fucking way!
00:24:08
Veronica Adams
Like, it was just so cool.
00:24:09
1852media
Yeah, it was very, Erica is a rock star.
00:24:09
Veronica Adams
I mean, and because she's a rock star. Who's a rock star?
00:24:14
1852media
She's so nice. I have no bad words to say about her.
00:24:18
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:24:18
1852media
She's a very nice human being.
00:24:19
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:24:21
1852media
um And yeah, very cool. Very cool. That was that was back in, I don't know, 2017, something like that?
00:24:29
Veronica Adams
16 or 17. Yeah.
00:24:30
1852media
16 and 17, yeah.
00:24:30
Veronica Adams
Well, i I met her with you at RT in 17.
00:24:32
1852media
Oh, right, right.
00:24:33
Veronica Adams
I think it was the last RT.
00:24:34
1852media
Yeah.
00:24:34
Veronica Adams
So yeah.
00:24:36
1852media
And I met her, but we had met her before that, yeah, before that. So, yeah, very cool.
00:24:41
Veronica Adams
Yep.
00:24:41
1852media
fun times had by all.
00:24:43
1852media
But yeah, that's why we love going to these conventions too. Also because, you know, you sometimes you build relationships with authors, not saying I have a relationship with EL James, but it's like other authors and then they do blow up and they become these big and it's really cool to be like,
00:24:43
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:24:52
Veronica Adams
Right. Right.
00:24:59
1852media
I met them when, right? And it's the same feeling with music artists when you see people posting stuff with a chapel room, for example, like, you know, seeing her at this small little thing, you know, a year or two ago, and now she's playing these huge things.
00:25:00
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Yes.
00:25:15
1852media
It's the same.
00:25:15
Veronica Adams
And now Midwest princesses are everything.
00:25:17
1852media
Right. Exactly. It's the same feeling. It's just like you feel so proud to have been a part of that journey.
00:25:22
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:25:26
1852media
Like you're just so proud of their success.
00:25:26
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:25:28
1852media
And yeah, and it's cool.
00:25:28
Veronica Adams
I knew them when.
00:25:31
1852media
And that's why you go to these book signing events, right?
00:25:33
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:25:35
1852media
But adaptations are great. I, you know, everybody's going to always have criticisms about whatever, but as a whole, I love film adaptations.
00:25:45
1852media
And I love that people are going, apparently this grossed really, really well, or is grossing really, really well so far, which is great.
00:25:49
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:25:53
1852media
Because that means that we'll get more.
00:25:55
Veronica Adams
They'll do more of them.
00:25:56
1852media
Yeah. And so if you show up at the theater, right.
00:25:58
Veronica Adams
Yes. The book to film market doesn't just belong to Reese Witherspoon and her production company that she siphons IP off of from her book club.
00:26:08
1852media
Correct. It doesn't just,
00:26:10
Veronica Adams
Not that there's anything wrong with any of the film adaptations that she's been responsible for producing, but like the romance community is still, still, I think underrepresented here, significantly underrepresented.
00:26:13
1852media
No, no, but we need variety.
00:26:19
1852media
It absolutely is. And there's so many good stories that could be translated to screen.
00:26:25
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Well, and Passion Flakes is out here hustling, trying to really make a dent in the market and provide more options for book to film, yeah which is which is great.
00:26:30
1852media
ah hey
00:26:34
1852media
Yes.
00:26:37
1852media
yeah
00:26:41
Veronica Adams
But other avenues, I think, still are still lacking in terms of seeing romance books represented on the screen.
00:26:46
1852media
Right.
00:26:49
1852media
Series and, yeah, exactly.
00:26:51
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Although yeah we didn't we didn't talk about Virgin River, which I do believe one of your favorites.
00:26:54
1852media
There's... Oh, true.
00:26:58
1852media
One of my favorites. I do love Virgin River.
00:27:01
Veronica Adams
She gifted me a copy of Virgin River years ago. That's how much she loves it.
00:27:06
1852media
I love Robin Carr.
00:27:07
Veronica Adams
Because I had never read Robin Carr. I mean, and this is years ago.
00:27:10
1852media
I...
00:27:11
Veronica Adams
I had never read Robin Carr. And you were like, oh my god, what is wrong with you? So the next thing I know, the Kindle copy shows up in my inbox.
00:27:16
1852media
I binge this book. Yeah. I binge that series in in a very unhealthy way, I think. I don't know.
00:27:26
Veronica Adams
Yes, you were obsessed.
00:27:26
1852media
um I was obsessed. Obsessed. I read those all of the books in a very short period of time.
00:27:36
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:27:37
1852media
Very short period of time.
00:27:38
Veronica Adams
You know what? I have not watched the Netflix series.
00:27:38
1852media
I love them.
00:27:40
Veronica Adams
Have you?
00:27:42
1852media
I watched the a little bit of the first season.
00:27:44
Veronica Adams
Okay. What what did you think?
00:27:45
1852media
um
00:27:46
Veronica Adams
Being someone who really was invested in the books.
00:27:48
1852media
Okay, it's good, it's good. I have this problem, this is a me problem, this is not the series problem.
00:27:50
Veronica Adams
Okay.
00:27:55
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:27:55
1852media
If I have read the book and then I watch the film, movie, whatever, I struggle.
00:28:02
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:28:04
1852media
um there' is I struggle because I will never, in my head, it is something different than is always portrayed on screen.
00:28:12
Veronica Adams
Yes. Yes.
00:28:13
1852media
And I know that objectively, but for me, i don't get to and I can't enjoy the film or the TV or whatever.
00:28:15
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:28:23
1852media
I can't enjoy the show because of the differences, because my brain is constantly battling back and forth.
00:28:23
Veronica Adams
the differences.
00:28:26
Veronica Adams
Yeah. who Yes.
00:28:29
1852media
So while i might I might slightly enjoy it, I can't fully immerse myself and enjoy it in a way that I would had I not read the books.
00:28:36
Veronica Adams
Right. Now, if it I can do it in reverse and be just fine.
00:28:39
1852media
I can do it in reverse.
00:28:39
Veronica Adams
If I see the movie and then read the book, no problem.
00:28:41
1852media
Yes. Yep.
00:28:43
Veronica Adams
But if I've read the book and then I'm going to watch the movie, I tend to walk away at least partially dissatisfied because I have the same experience.
00:28:43
1852media
Yeah. Yeah.
00:28:51
Veronica Adams
It's a different It's a different story in my head and the details are all there because I read the book and then it's, the adaptation is just never a reflection of what was in my mind.
00:28:53
1852media
Yes.
00:28:58
1852media
It, it always falls flat.
00:29:01
Veronica Adams
Cause I'm not right. Right. Exactly.
00:29:03
1852media
Yeah. it no matter even It could be great. it could Other people are like, oh, it's amazing. To me, it always falls flat.
00:29:11
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:29:11
1852media
And so that's my struggle. um I read, I mean, i read I read, I watched the first little bit of Virgin River and I thought it was good. you know I think I understand why it was so popular and why people loved it.
00:29:23
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:29:25
1852media
And hopefully it got people into reading the books, which are decidedly better.
00:29:28
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:29:29
1852media
um
00:29:33
Veronica Adams
Well, and I think that's true no matter the genre.
00:29:33
1852media
That's just sad for you.
00:29:34
Veronica Adams
I don't think this is just romance either.
00:29:35
1852media
Yeah.
00:29:37
1852media
Yeah, it's very true. I have to have a long separation from it. I bet if I went and watched Virgin River now, I'd enjoy it a lot more because I'm not as close to having read the books.
00:29:45
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Mm hmm. Right.
00:29:49
1852media
um
00:29:50
Veronica Adams
Like as a teenager, I went back and read Michael Crichton's Jurassic Park. I mean, you know, we were kids when that movie came out.
00:29:55
1852media
Yeah.
00:29:56
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:29:57
1852media
Oh, yeah.
00:29:57
Veronica Adams
So like the movie was the only thing in my head. And. But the book is actually. um I mean, you know, I loved it and.
00:30:07
1852media
Yeah.
00:30:09
Veronica Adams
What else have I done? Oh, The Martian, Andy Weir. I watched the movie, Matt Damon, right?
00:30:12
1852media
Okay.
00:30:13
Veronica Adams
It goes to Mars, right? The movie is so good. If you've never read the book, I read the...
00:30:19
1852media
I have not.
00:30:20
Veronica Adams
I listened to the audio book actually after having watched the movie.
00:30:23
1852media
And that counts.
00:30:24
Veronica Adams
And it is so much... it's it's the The story is just... There's so much more to it that they don't have time for and the film is ultimately what it comes down to, right?
00:30:28
1852media
Yeah. Right. Yeah.
00:30:33
Veronica Adams
And it's just not as rich. The experiences are totally different, you know?
00:30:37
1852media
Yeah.
00:30:39
Veronica Adams
The book is always a better immersion, a better immersion.
00:30:39
1852media
iowa I I watched Twilight before I read the books.
00:30:44
Veronica Adams
Oh gosh, isn't that where all of this started? Where would we be without Stephanie Meyer inspiring E.L.
00:30:47
1852media
Yeah.
00:30:50
Veronica Adams
James?
00:30:50
1852media
I know. But yeah, I watched Twilight before I read the books. And yeah, yeah.
00:30:57
Veronica Adams
Stop!
00:30:59
Veronica Adams
You watched the film before you saw, you read any of the books?
00:31:03
1852media
Yes, I did.
00:31:04
Veronica Adams
Oh girl.
00:31:05
1852media
I know.
00:31:06
Veronica Adams
Oh, no, no, no, no, no.
00:31:06
1852media
I know.
00:31:08
Veronica Adams
I have a younger sister and a younger sister-in-law, so the books were um thrust upon me during a break from law school.
00:31:18
1852media
That makes sense.
00:31:19
Veronica Adams
And I read all of them before the movies came out.
00:31:20
1852media
Yeah.
00:31:21
Veronica Adams
And yeah, I mean, I'm i'm glad i'm glad I read the books before I watched the movies in that particular series.
00:31:24
1852media
But I didn't.
00:31:27
1852media
Yeah. I mean, I love the books though. I ended up reading the books like a million times.
00:31:30
Veronica Adams
Yeah, that's what I'm saying.
00:31:32
1852media
Yeah.
00:31:33
Veronica Adams
<unk> i don't
00:31:33
1852media
The books are better.
00:31:35
Veronica Adams
I think that's a situation where the movies do not, they fall so short of the books or the potential of the books, if you will.
00:31:37
1852media
Yeah, they don't. 100%. They're fun, though. They're fun.
00:31:43
Veronica Adams
Yeah, they are.
00:31:43
1852media
I did enjoy them. I mean, I didn't... I read Harry Potter so late, too, because I was never like...
00:31:49
Veronica Adams
I was also late to the Harry Potter game.
00:31:50
1852media
I was very late to the Harry Potter game.
00:31:53
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:31:53
1852media
I was later than you guys, because you guys in college were all about it.
00:31:55
Veronica Adams
Yeah, you were.
00:31:56
1852media
I didn't read it till I was after post-law school.
00:31:59
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Well, so our little friend circle in college, they were all like a long time.
00:32:00
1852media
Yeah.
00:32:04
Veronica Adams
Like they'd been reading the series basically from the beginning.
00:32:06
1852media
Yeah. Yeah.
00:32:08
Veronica Adams
I came to it while we were in college because of our, I think freshman year comp class requirement or something.
00:32:14
1852media
Oh, okay.
00:32:15
Veronica Adams
I took a comp class that it was children's literature. So among the books that we had to read that semester was Harry Potter.
00:32:19
1852media
Oh, sure.
00:32:21
Veronica Adams
And I was like, oh wow, this is actually better than I thought it was going to be.
00:32:25
1852media
Yeah.
00:32:26
Veronica Adams
And then I fell into a group of nerds who loved it. And it was like, you know, half of our entire personality for four years.
00:32:32
1852media
It sure was.
00:32:33
Veronica Adams
Um, for good reasons.
00:32:36
1852media
Yeah.
00:32:36
Veronica Adams
It was an epic, epic series.
00:32:37
1852media
Yeah, it was an epic series.
00:32:39
Veronica Adams
So yeah.
00:32:40
1852media
I watched from afar as you guys enjoyed all of that and I just I don't know why.
00:32:43
Veronica Adams
Yes. I remember walking away from several of the movies kind of disappointed though, because again, the book is just so much more immersive.
00:32:47
1852media
Yeah.
00:32:51
Veronica Adams
There's just so much they can't include.
00:32:51
1852media
Yeah.
00:32:54
1852media
It's true. And so but yeah, I'm glad that this movie, it ends with us.
00:32:59
Veronica Adams
that it ends with us as being so well received.
00:33:02
1852media
Yeah, and because of that issue that seems to happen over and over and over, this is being really well well received.
00:33:03
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:33:09
1852media
And I hope it means more film adaptations of beloved books.
00:33:09
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:33:13
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:33:14
1852media
And it's so amazing for authors.
00:33:15
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:33:17
1852media
It can help catapult their careers in a completely different way. It's amazing. And yeah, I mean, there's there's other Colleen books that I hope get turned into movies.
00:33:23
Veronica Adams
Yeah. Well, I mean,
00:33:30
1852media
I mean,
00:33:31
Veronica Adams
Yeah, absolutely.
00:33:32
1852media
I'm thinking, you know, slammed is honestly one of my favorites.
00:33:37
Veronica Adams
Deep cut.
00:33:37
1852media
It's so good. Yeah, it's a good one.
00:33:40
Veronica Adams
That's a deep cut. Yeah.
00:33:44
1852media
And I think it would translate so well into film.
00:33:46
Veronica Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:33:47
1852media
So here's to hoping that happens. I'm going to manifest that in the world for you Colleen.
00:33:50
Veronica Adams
Yes, I know, right? Gosh, yeah, but for sure.
00:33:53
1852media
And I think feel like that's how a lot of us got into Colleen too, right? it It is one of her first folks that came out.
00:33:59
Veronica Adams
Mm-hmm.
00:34:00
1852media
Um, and it's just been really cool to see the trajectory of her career when you're in this, when you've been in this industry for so long.
00:34:04
Veronica Adams
Yeah.
00:34:07
1852media
Um, and I try to explain it to people. I'm like, listen, because everybody's like, oh, Colleen's popular. She's a book talk author. And I'm like friends
Colleen Hoover's Journey and Influence
00:34:15
Veronica Adams
What is with the book talk snobbery? Wait, what when did we become anti-book talk?
00:34:15
1852media
before book talk came along.
00:34:19
1852media
I know. Like what, what, what, okay. One, there's no reason to be anti-book talk, but two, before book talk. Colleen was still a very successful author in her own right.
00:34:32
Veronica Adams
Oh my god.
00:34:33
1852media
Yeah, like for real.
00:34:34
Veronica Adams
Like for real. Do people think that Booktalk made her?
00:34:35
1852media
and Yes.
00:34:37
Veronica Adams
No. Like Colleen
00:34:39
1852media
I've read articles of people saying that like book talk made her. No.
00:34:44
Veronica Adams
Hoover would still be wearing a crown at the top of the charts every time she, wear every time she releases a book without Booktalk.
00:34:47
1852media
Yes.
00:34:50
Veronica Adams
Like
00:34:51
1852media
Yes. Did it allow for a brand new, you know, group of people to find her?
00:34:58
Veronica Adams
Yes, she has expanded her audience as a result of that social media platform.
00:34:59
1852media
hundred percent
00:35:02
1852media
100%. Yes, but she was she was not like plucked from obscurity, the way that they make it seem.
00:35:07
Veronica Adams
And that's for real.
00:35:11
1852media
Colleen was very successful, um you know, rightfully so, before book talk even was in existence.
00:35:17
Veronica Adams
Yes.
00:35:19
1852media
um Because of, you know, it just cracks me up.
00:35:20
Veronica Adams
God, why does social, it wasn't always so fucking toxic by the time we're all done with it, right? like
00:35:27
1852media
Because people like to think there's like overnight success stories instead of like, I've been grinding for 15 years stories.
00:35:28
Veronica Adams
What is that about?
00:35:35
Veronica Adams
Right.
00:35:36
1852media
Like, which is really the truth.
00:35:38

00:37:12
Veronica Adams
No, probably not.
