Bookmarked by Reese's Book Club

Happy New Year, book club besties! What better way to start anew than to chat with the woman who reinvented makeup for an entire generation – and then, when she was 60, reinvented herself. No matter where you know her from, or what she’s doing, Bobbi Brown is totally, completely herself. No compromising. So when we heard that Bobbi was writing a memoir, called Still Bobbi – because, of course it is – I knew we had to have her on Bookmarked.

We’re closing out 2025 with our final Reese’s Book Club Pick of the year: Rebecca Armitage’s The Heir Apparent. Rebecca and our host, Danielle, get into all the goss you could ever want – from the real-life royal parallels in Rebecca’s debut novel, to who would make the best influencer IRL – and dig into questions that will absolutely guide us into the new year. What does inheritance look like, when you’re not from a family dripping in jewels? How do you reconcile power and love? And if no one will see your art… should you still make it?

This week on Bookmarked, Danielle Robay dives under the covers with Amanda Seyfried and Paul Feig to unravel the deliciously twisty adaptation of Freida McFadden’s The Housemaid. From childhood reading memories to mapping the psychology of a woman who’s playing a woman, Amanda shares how she tapped into fear, rage, and complicated motherhood to build one of her most surprising roles yet. Paul reveals how he crafted tension, why he cut a shocking original opening, and what makes this story such a wild ride for audiences. Expect big laughs, big feelings, red herrings galore, and a conversation that’s as layered as the characters themselves. BOOKS MENTIONED: Winnie the Pooh I Know What You Did Last Summer The Housemaid The Goldfinch See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
