About this podcast
Welcome to More Than Fiction with Nina Marceta, where I dive deep into the world of literature, fantasy, and more. Join me as I explore the stories that go 'beyond the pages' – those tales that resonate in our hearts and minds, teaching us real-life lessons. I'm unafraid to share my bold, sometimes unpopular opinions and lively discussions. From epic fantasies to swoony romances and everything in between, I'm your literary companion on a journey of open-minded exploration. Come for the books, stay for the conversation. Let's discover the 'more' in every story.
