LISTEN: Hollywood Wants to Know More About Tim Cook’s Successor at Apple; BookCon Returns With Focus on Romantasy and Adaptation

BookCon has returned to New York after a three-year hiatus, reflecting a resurgence of interest in books and reading since the pandemic years. The event showcased the red-hot genre of "romantasy fiction," a blending of romance and fantasy popular among women. Publishers and producers are increasingly collaborating, with Hollywood scooping up buzzy books faster than ever. This trend is evident in the success of TV shows like "Heated Rivalry," which was adapted from a book.
