Welcome to the Hot Nuance Book Club, where it is time for fantasy periods and magic swords. We also have our first guest, Seth from WoTSpoilers! Despite the apparent incongruity of having a cis-male on the period episode, we have a fantastic discussion that ranges from solid life advice to very questionable metaphors. Alanna finds a version of herself as a sword, and we definitely aren't covering two chapters today.The Grinwell Cup: https://x.com/wheeltakespod/status/1762650787606646933?s=20 Pre-order Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha  https://a.co/d/60e4Vqm == Buy the book ==Tamora Pierce's website:  https://www.tamora-pierce.net/series/the-song-of-the-lioness/ == Buy our merch ==https://www.zazzle.com/store/hotnuancebookclub Once you're caught up, come hang with us on our Discord server and tell us all of your thoughts! Discord: https://discord.gg/fdcaA75UkM== Check out other FARM podcasts ==Wheel of Time Spoilers: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wot-spoilers-podcast  That B*tch Is Always Late: https://www.spreaker.com/show/tbial Black Girl From Eugene: https://www.spreaker.com/show/black-girl-from-eugene == Check out Ali's other podcast ==Wheel Takes: https://www.spreaker.com/show/wheel-takes Transcripts by AnnaArt by BreeProduced by Aradia | Fox And Raven Media== Follow Us ==Twitter: https://twitter.com/hotnuancepodWebsite: https://www.hotnuancebookclub.com/Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/TheHotNuanceBookClub 

Welcome to the Hot Nuance Book Club, where it is time for the plague, complicated feelings about femininity, and also horses. Is there anything more heroic than telling Death it can't have your friend? Is there anything hotter than a blacksmith? Is Roger a weird blogger?

Welcome to Season Two of the Hot Nuance Book Club! Today we start Tamora Pierce's legendary Song of the Lioness quartet, which we've all read before but only Aradia has read recently. The journey of re-discovery has already thrown us some surprises, from empathizing with Coram as the responsible adult in the room to having different takes on Jon's value as a love interest.Pre-order Queen of Dreams by Kit Rocha https://a.co/d/60e4Vqm == Buy the book ==Tamora Pierce's website: https://www.tamora-pierce.net/series/the-song-of-the-lioness/ == Buy our merch ==https://www.zazzle.com/store/hotnuancebookclub Once you're caught up, come hang with us on our Discord server and tell us all of your thoughts!

It's our last Book Club for the year! Brenna and Joe are joined by listeners Emma, Charlotte and Tea, Books & Chocolate to discuss Tamora Pierce's Alanna: The First Adventure (1983).While folks warned us the book hasn't aged super well (colonialism, white saviour, gender essentialism, etc), overall we *really* liked this and can understand the nostalgia of a fantasy series with a female protagonist in the 80s. After all, Alanna is a great heroine and this is solid middle-grade fiction.Up for discussion: bullying, menstruation, and a potential trans reading. Our big question? Where. Is. The. Adaptation?!Wanna connect with the show?

Join us for a discussion of the first book in Tamora Pierce's The Song of the Lioness series, Alanna the First Adventure. We think about what this story has to say about gender, and how it took on topics like bullying, sexism and misogyny while not even being allowed to run more than a couple hundred pages, because “it's for children”.Content WarningsDiscussion of misogyny and school bullying. Support the showRecommend us a Book!If there's a book you want to recommend to us to read, just send us a message/email and we'll pop it on our long list (but please read our review policy on our website first for the books we accept).Social MediaWebsite: https://teachingmycattoread.wordpress.com/Email: teachingmycattoread@gmail.comInstagram: https://www.instagram.com/teachmycat2read/Twitter: https://twitter.com/teachmycat2read?s=09Tumblr: https://teachingmycattoread.tumblr.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFXi9LNQv8SBQt8ilgTZXtQListener FeedbackSend us feedback via the feedback form (2023) https://forms.gle/TBZUBH4SK8dez8RP9

Noted Sagittarius and author Tamora Pierce brought us the groundbreaking, gender norm defying Alanna: The First Adventure in 1983. The book ended up being a formative text and gateway sword-and-sorcery fantasy work for many of us. Alanna was a Strong Female Protagonist for young adults before the Strong Female Protagonist conversation was a thing. Headstrong, improbably purple-eyed Alanna is determined to be a knight although girl knights are not allowed are in the Kingdom of Tortall, and nothing will stand in her way, not the rigors of knighthood training ( which involves far more homework than you'd expect), not a steady stream of bullies & villains, and not even puberty, the greatest villain of them all. We discuss Alanna's internalized misogyny, magic swords, and the Tortellian class structures that went over our heads as young readers as we revisit (or visit for the first time in Kelsey's case) the technicolor, Errol Flynn-esque world of the first installment in the Song of Lioness Quartet.

Join us for our first “challenge” episode! The criteria was to find a book set in the Wild West about revenge and involving a gun. Turns out, it wasn't so challenging—apparently, the criteria for writing a book about the Wild West demands both revenge and guns in plenty. Regardless, muddle yourself a Blackberry Bramble to drink while reading Erin Bowman's “Vengeance Road” or perhaps “Death Rides a Chestnut Mare”—and a Honey Peach Fizz—is more up your alley. Too boozy? Class it up with a glass of Dark Horse Sauvignon Blanc to pair with “Hombre” by Elmore Leonard.Next week join us for a fantasy episode featuring Alanna: The First Adventure and Green Rider by Tamora Pierce and Kristen Britain.
