These are our TWO February 2026 Picks of the Month in one fabulous double whammy episode! Janie Chang is a Globe and Mail bestselling author of historical fiction that often draws from her family history and ancestral stories. She is the author of Three Souls, Dragon Springs Road, The Library of Legends, and The Porcelain Moon; and co-author of the USA Today bestseller The Phoenix Crown, with Kate Quinn. We are excited to hear about The Fourth Princess in which two young women living in a crumbling, once-grand Shanghai mansion face danger as secrets of their pasts come to light.<br \/>\nKate Quinn is a New York Times bestselling author of historical fiction. A lifelong history buff, she wrote four novels in her Empress of Rome Saga and two books set in the Italian Renaissance before turning to the 20th century with The Alice Network, The Huntress, The Rose Code, The Diamond Eye, and The Briar Club. We are looking forward to discussing Kate\u2019s first foray into magic realism, The Astral Library, which poses the question: have you ever wished you could live inside a book?<\/span>[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\">Make sure to join us every Wednesday night at 7pm EST on Facebook and YouTube for our latest episode!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"l: https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/c\/FriendsFiction?sub_confirmation=1\">SUBSCRIBE<\/a> to our Youtube Channel<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/groups\/FriendsandFiction\">JOIN<\/a> our Facebook Group<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"\/category\/friends-fiction-episodes\/\">VIEW<\/a> more of our previous episodes<\/p>\n[\/vc_column_text][vc_row_inner column_margin=&#8221;default&#8221;
