Podcasts about ask again

Anthony Doerr is probably best known for his Pulitzer Prize winning novel All the Light We Cannot See. Just like that book, his latest work, Cloud Cuckoo Land, features protagonists who are dreamers and outsiders who find hope in the midst of danger. He talks with Mary Beth Keane, author of Ask Again, Yes, about the inspiration for his latest book and its focus on technology, destruction, preservation, and humanity's vast interconnectedness. Doerr and Keane spoke as part of the Winter Words conversation series held by Aspen Words.

Amanda and Jenn discuss books set in Polynesia and Ireland, aristocratic mysteries, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. Follow the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback Detransition, Baby by Torrey Peters (rec'd by Elizabeth) Questions 1. This is an oddly specific request. I recently read Girl at War and Ask Again, Yes. I really enjoyed the concept of two childhood friends, a boy and a girl, having to be separated for some specific, dare I say tragic, reason and then reunited later in life where they have to address the reason for their separation and decide what they mean to each other now that so much time has passed. Do you know of any other novel that involves a plot line like this? -Emily 2. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I'm super fascinated with Polynesia and I would love to read more that's set on one of the islands in the Pacific. I loved Euphoria and The People in the Trees, which is how I found out that I want more. Can you recommend any books set in historic or contemporary Polynesia that aren't told exclusively from a white colonial perspective? Made-up islands or peoples are fine, too. I prefer fiction, narrative non-fiction is OK, no memoirs please. Love the podcast and thanks in advance! -Cat 3. I love your podcast. It's so much fun and you have given me so many great reads. I have 2 requests if that is not too greedy. I am getting close to retirement and was hoping you could recommend some books about women transitioning into this time of life. As much as I am looking forward to this phase of life, it is somewhat daunting. I'm interested in the transition process and finding meaning as one moves into another way of being in the world. Fiction or Nonfiction is fine. A memoir would be great. I am not a huge fan of Romance but if you could suggest a couple that are character driven and involve a spicy, slightly overweight, post menopausal woman that would be freaking awesome. Again, just love your show.  Thanks, -Joan 4. I stumbled on this delightful mystery series (Royal Spyness by Rhys Bowen) a few weeks ago, and I've read them all now!  I tried her other mystery series, but they lack the whimsy and fun of Georgiana and her aristocratic problems. Do you have another mystery series that is as smart and fun as this?  If so, please share. I need more, and so do my friends to whom I have introduced these books. Please answer by email, even if you don't get it on your podcast. There is no rush except that all this at-home time has really upped my reading time.  So I'm always looking for a next read…. Thank you for this service and for your fun podcast. -Susan 5. I am looking for recommendations for fiction set in parts of history that had major societal change. The Enlightenment interests me particularly, but any social revolution would be great! Bonus points if the book has female perspectives. Happy reading, -Michelle 6. Hey Get Booked ladies! Love your show!

In this episode the hosts discuss the twelfth episode of the third season of Fringe, "Concentrate and Ask Again". We discuss the proper voice to address the mole people, have nicely synced up hi-fives and sorta lose our minds.

Amanda and Jenn discuss talking cats, dog books for toddlers, defeating internalized racism and sexism, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Moloka‘i by Alan Brennert (rec’d by Lauren) The Moon–Spinners by Mary Stewart (rec’d by Kelly) A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes and Ariadne by Jennifer Saint (rec’d by Hannah) Questions 1. Let me preface by stating, for the record, that I fully realize how ridiculous this question is. :-p  I adopted a senior cat not too long ago, and after many years of thinking I was a dog person I’ve realized that, in my heart of hearts, I am absolutely a cat person.  I love that they have moods, and can be a total sweetheart one moment and a complete butthead the next. Anyway, on your recommendation I recently read Sabriel. I really enjoyed it, and hands down my favorite character was Mogget (because of course it was).  Can you recommend any other books in which a cat is one of the main characters? Especially if a) they are a talking cat and b) they are kind of snarky or a smart aleck/jerk?  Mimi Lee Gets a Clue is already on my TBR list, but any other recs in any genre are welcome. Thank you! -Diane 2. Hi guys, I’m currently in the process of curating my book list for summer. I just finished We Were Liars and am honestly devastated. I was entranced the whole way through. The setting, dialogue and characters were vivid. The writing had an air of poetry that I loved. The plot was wildly intriguing, slowly unfolding piece by piece. I am wanting something else like it. Other books I’ve read that I’ve enjoyed are The Mothers, Ask Again, Yes and Little Fires Everywhere. Please help me find something like this! Thanks! -Emily 3. I am going to Michigan for vacation in July with my two best friends. I would love a book set there. We will be going to Mackinac Island and Frankenmuth in particular. If you know of any fiction or non fiction set in those areas or around. I am aware of the movie / novel Somewhere in Time as that is a large reason I am going there -Lauren 4. Hi! I’m looking for a book series for a 7 year old who’s really digging the Princess in Black and the Princess Pulverizer books (she’s been toting them around like pirate booty). I’m pretty sure you guys have answered a similar question in the past and I dug through about 20 past episodes, but can’t seem to find it! Any help would be much appreciated!! -Kristi 5. My toddler is currently obsessed with dogs.  She seeks them out on our walks, wants to help do ALL of the doggy chores for our pups at home, etc.  I am looking for books featuring dogs to get for her.  We have read most of the Good Dog Carl books, Pig the Pug, Skippy Jon Jones, and also a board book called Doggies.  Do you have any other dog books that you think a 13 month old would enjoy?   -Marelis 6. I have a friend who grew up loving vampire books but doesn’t read them any more because the relationships are always *problematic*. Any recs for more recent vampire books that avoid or undermine the bad tropes, specifically creepy age differences, iffy coercion and consent issues and lots of gaslighting and manipulation? She really liked how those issues were handled in the Daevabad series and she also loves the Greta Helsing books, Good Omens, and anything Witchy. Steampunk vibes, queer characters and F/F romance is always a plus.  -Margot 7. Hi! I’ve been looking for books specifically on internalized misogyny and internalized racism to help my family understand how they’ve absorbed harmful ideals and aren’t immune to perpetrating white supremacy, anti-blackness, and sexism. We’re a hispanic family, but I can tell some of my family members don’t quite understand how entrenched they are in white supremacist beliefs. I haven’t seen anything just yet on this particular topic in books about race so if anyone has any suggestions I’d be super grateful! -Ashley Books Discussed Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Robert Hack The Song of the Lioness Quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure #1) by Tamora Pierce If We Were Villains by ML Rio (tw: domestic violence) The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma (tw: death by suicide, lots of body-shaming) Snowed In by Rachel Hawthorne Once Upon A River by Bonnie Jo Campbell (tw: violence against women and children including rape, graphic violence, drug abuse) Mia Mayhem series (#1 Mia Mayhem is a Superhero) by Kara West and Leeza Hernandez Chronicles of Claudette (Giants, Beware! #1) by Jorge Aguirre and Rafael Rosado et al Stormy by Guojing Zorro and Mister Bud (Say Hello to Zorro!) by Carter Goodrich Better Off Red by Rebekah Weatherspoon Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall For the Love of Men by Liz Plank Me and White Supremacy by Layla F.

Jennifer and I discuss her debut The Little French Bridal Shop, the inspiration for both her story and the bridal shop in the book, how small falsehoods can easily turn into a web of lies, how she balances her day job and writing, reading recommendations, and more. The Little French Bridal Shop can be purchased at Murder by the Book or the CFAP Bookshop storefront.  Jennifer’s 3 recommended reads are: Ask Again, Yes by Mary Beth Keane The Late Bloomers’ Club by Louise Miller Your Corner Dark by Desmond Hall If you enjoy reading contemporary fiction and want to listen to more podcast episodes like this one, try Nancy Johnson, Julie Carrick Dalton, Madeleine Henry, Lauren Ho, and Lainey Cameron.

Oh, Should-Heads! If you haven't read Temporary, you are doing yourself a real disservice. It's clever and funny, but don't take our word for it. It's also received excellent reviews from The New York Times, The Washington Post and made Best Of 2020 lists from NPR and Publisher's Weekly and many more outlets. As we approach the first anniversary of quarantine, this is a book that will be the best possible distraction. Thank you so much for author Hilary Leichter, who is well versed in the rule of threes, for joining us!

Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. This post contains affiliate links. When you buy through these links, Book Riot may earn a commission. Feedback The Sweeney Sisters by Lian Dolan (rec’d by Megan) Alastair MacLean: The Navarone series, Where Eagles Dare (rec’d by Wynnde) Questions 1. Something that I’ve been very interested in reading about is the strong bond between people forged by unique experiences. Some examples of this in literature that I’ve enjoyed are the characters in Never Let Me Go who are bonded by their childhoods and their shared horrific destiny or Ask Again, Yes who are bonded by being childhood neighbors as well as a shared tragedy. I even enjoyed this about the Hunger Games and the way the shared trauma of the games forged a tight bond between the tributes. I’m looking for other novels that have these very intimate bonds between characters brought about by certain circumstances. Other books I’ve enjoyed that also have examples of these sort of bonds: The Mothers by Brit Bennett, Commonwealth by Ann Patchett and A Children’s Bible by Lydia Millet. Thanks! -Emily 2. Hi! I’m looking for a recommendation for a friend’s birthday. She just finished The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix and has been raving about the housewife superpowers angle it takes. I’d love to get another book for her in a similar strain. She also likes the Amy Dunne of Gone Girl type of genius-borderline-crazy female characters in any book/TV show/movie so it can also lean in that direction. Thank you!! -Carol 3. I just got a new job that is for a company based in Belgium. Eventually after Covid I will get a chance to go out and visit the main office. Can you suggest some books based in Belgium or with a general Belgium- feel (this is called Belgitude!) Thanks! -Jordan 4. My name is Andy and I’m writing to ask for three different book recommendations (all in one email hehehe). First, I’m looking for a book, either fiction or nonfiction (or both, if you can) about archaeology. It seems such an exciting field. I’m looking for a book that gives those adventurous vibes but that also teaches me something about history and what that entails.  Secondly, a fiction book set in a museum. I’m looking for something exciting that makes me think, too! And finally, if you can, a nonfiction book about countries that had recovered from a civil war and how they did it. I had not mentioned before but I’m originally from Venezuela and though my country hasn’t gone through a civil war (in the strict sense), the recovery (if it ever does recover) would probably be something similar. I’ll like to read about other history cases so that, maybe, I could find some answers.  Now that that “business” is done, I wanted you to know how much happiness you bring to all of us book lovers all across the globe (I’m a Venezuelan currently living in Spain). Thank you thank you thank you. Keep doing what you are doing! I love your podcast!  Much much much love from Madrid, -Andreina  5. First, I just want to say thank you so much for this podcast. It’s my absolute favorite, and I look forward to it every week (and am super happy that I now get to listen twice a week). I have read some truly amazing books thanks to you!   I have found historical fiction cozy mysteries to be especially comforting in these wild times. I love to read mysteries that have a strong female main character and are written by women. The only problem is that almost every historical fiction series that I’ve read has white main characters and are almost all written by white authors. Do you have any recommendations for own voices historical cozy mysteries by BIPOC women?  Some historical mystery series that I have enjoyed are: The Lady Sherlock series by Sherry Thomas The Perveen Mistry series by Sujata Massey The Veronica Speedwell and Lady Julia Grey series by Deanna Raybourn The Amelia Peabody series by Elizabeth Peters The Maisie Dobbs series by Jacqueline Winspear The Sparks & Bainbridge series by Allison Montclair The Jane Prescott series by Mariah Fredericks The High Society Lady Detective Books by Sara Rosett The Lady Hardcastle Mysteries by T.E. Kinsey The Kendra Donovan series by Julie McElwain The Countess of Harleigh Mysteries by Dianne Freeman The Rose Gallagher Mysteries by Erin Lindsey Kitty Weeks Series by Radha Vatsal Some contemporary mysteries series by women of color that I’ve started reading are the Jaya Jones series by Gigi Pandian, An Ice Cream Parlor Mystery by Abby Collete, and the Noodle Shop Mysteries by Vivien Chien. I loved Death by Dumpling. I didn’t love Jaya Jones as much as I thought I would because I couldn’t stand how much they talked about how skinny and petite she is. I liked A Deadly Inside Scoop but felt like the main character seemed very young. -Marissa 6. I’m loving dark academia media right now, which is an aesthetic that joins dark themes, such as murder, theft, and sin, with academic settings. I read The Secret History, by Donna Tartt, in February, and have not stopped thinking about it since. I have also read The Goldfinch, by the same author, and The Picture of Dorian Gray, and loved both of them tremendously. Dead Poets Society and Kill Your Darlings are examples of movies with this setting. Could you help me find other books with a similar style? -Maria 7. Hi! Thanks for your podcast; I love it. I wonder if you can help me. I have a 7-year-old and I’m looking for a book to read aloud together as a family. We loved Thomas Taylor’s Malamander and the sequel, and we are looking for books like those–thrilling, sly, dark, funny, suspenseful middle-grade fantasies with lots of friendship and at least one girl MC. We don’t like to slog through pointless dialogue and tedious set-up. (Also, no racism, sexism, or homo-/transphobia, please–I like reading J.K. Rowling, Neil Gaiman, Eva Ibbotson, Chris Riddell, and Roald Dahl because they are so funny, but also they can STFU with their dumb jokes about Asia, queer-coded villains, and sidelined heroines.) My kid has enjoyed audiobooks of the Unicorn Rescue Society, Love Sugar Magic, Princess Pulverizer, Alice in Wonderland, Anna Hibiscus, Wollstonecraft Detective Agency, Magic Treehouse, Dory Fantasmagory, Dragons in a Bag, and Questioneers series, as well as the first Dark is Rising book. She heard the Audible sample of Akata Witch and was mesmerized (so was I) but I think it’s a little too old for her. Some violence is fine, but we’d like to stay away from heavy romance/crushes/bullying (middle-school stuff), and from really dark stuff like genocide, horrible forms of murder, any hint of sexual violence or suicide, etc. POC and queer characters a plus. Thank you so much! Best, -Mo Books Discussed Five Little Indians by Michelle Good (tw: racism, child abuse) Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth (tw: self harm, fatal overdose, torture, gore) Fates and Furies by Lauren Groff Lady Killer by Joelle Jones, Jamie S. Rich, and Chelsea Cain La Femme de Gilles by Madeleine Bourdouxhe (tw: suicide) Brussels Noir, edited by Michel Dufranne Say Nothing by Patrick Radden Keefe The Flanders Panel by Arturo Pérez-Reverte Murder in Old Bombay by Nev March (rec’d Nicole Hill) The Lotus Palace by Jeannie Lin Catherine House by Elisabeth Thomas Bunny by Mona Awad (tw: animal cruelty/death) Furthermore by Tahereh Mafi Brightstorm by Vashti Hardy (rec’d by multiple Rioters) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Feedback Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman (tw: for sexual assault and miscarriage) (rec’d by Margot) The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (rec’d by Rose?) Current Futures: A Sci-Fi Ocean Anthology, edited by Ann Vandermeer (rec’d by Stephanie) Questions 1. Hey y’all! Could I ask for two separate recommendations? One is for my job and one is for my personal reading. I would appreciate it.  My professional recommendation: I am a 7th and 8th grade history teacher and I’m looking for some middle grade historical fiction books for the classroom, preferably Texas history and US history since those are the subjects I teach.  My personal recommendation: I really, really enjoyed True Detective, especially season 1 with Matthew McConnaughey and Woody Harrelson. I would like to read dark crime/detective/mystery/thriller books similar to True Detective.  Thank you so much for your help, I really enjoy the podcast! Respectfully, -Mason 2. I would love some recs for my Dad. He is basically retired bc of Covid. He has worked from home since March 2019 and watched ALL the tv shows and I want him to have some mental stimulation. I can’t remember the last book he read but I can tell you he loves sports, westerns, detective stuff and small town America. He would HATE anything with fantasy, sci-fi or true crime.   -Donya 3. I just finished Ask Again, Yes. And I absolutely loved it! I’m wanting to find another novel similar to it. I think I loved how the characters were so fully drawn and rich. The author did such a great job exploring all the characters personal backgrounds that way you fully understood who they were in all their complexities. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two families and the special, almost idyllic, childhood friendship between Peter and Kate. I also loved watching how the people changed over time. Books that I’ve enjoyed before that felt similar to this one are Little Fires Everywhere and Commonwealth. Thanks! -Emily  4. I’m finishing up with all the fall mysteries and spooky reads, and would love a recommendation for something heartwarming to read around the winter holidays/darkest week of the year. I typically like to read something lighthearted or at least with a happy ending, about characters with some emotional complexity and strong chosen-family relationships. LGBTQIA characters are pretty important to me, but the chosen family storyline is most important. Last year I read The Snow Child and loved it, but I could also go for something like House in the Cerulean Sea. Holiday or wintery themes are welcome but not necessary. I love fantasy, literary fiction, and memoirs (but am not into reading short stories or books that really center romance). Thanks so much, -Angela 5. I’ve been listening to your podcast for years and now need help. I finished reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune recently and completely fell in love with it. I loved the story, I loved the adult characters and I loved the children characters. I loved their relationships with each other and I loved the growth throughout the book of Linus. This is just such a sweet cozy read and I would love to find something similar. Any suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -Ashley 6. I have desperately been trying to find a book like Lovely War by Julie Berry. I read it back in June and haven’t found a book that even compares since.  My favourite things about this book were the mythology, the romance, the time period (1920s), the way the gods interacted with the humans, the portrayal of death, the settings (England and France with a little bit of Belgium and America), etc.  It would be SO SO amazing if you could find any books like it! Thank you.  PS: LOVE your show and have so many new amazing books because of it.  -Niamh 7. So I’m looking for poetry audiobook recommendations. I recently bought Lana Del Rey’s Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass on audio and found it to be extremely therapeutic. I’m in law school now and don’t have the time to read anything except case books. I also found I have about zero capacity for concentration left outside of my class material and find my mind wandering during even my most favorite podcasts (Get Booked) which I listen to for the therapeutic aspect. But I found that Violet is something I can listen to over and over again and I feel soothed. I like that it’s ethereal and nostalgic. I like themes of love and love for your city and the personification of a city. I like the dreaminess of it too. I do like spoken word but I’d prefer things that aren’t particularly heart wrenching or political. I’m looking more for an escape than an awakening. Hope I haven’t made this impossible! Thanks

Feedback The Amulet of Samarkand by Jonathan Stroud and Artemis Fowl by Eoin Colfer (rec’d by Kelly) Questions 1. Hi, I’m Ben, I love the podcast! I wasn’t sure how to ask for a suggestion, so I’m emailing.  I recently read Stuart Turton’s “Seven and a Half Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle” and “The Devil in the Dark Water” and am trying to find more genre bending books like those. My preferences are pretty open, though I try to stay away from YA. I do love that the aforementioned books involve a complicated mystery, but the mystery aspect isn’t as important as the genre blending. Thank you for your help! P.s. your podcast has helped open my mind with the variety of books that y’all discuss, thanks for that.  -Ben 2. It’s been a rough year (for everyone), and I am struggling to really see the light at the end of the tunnel. I’m looking for a read without too much trauma on the page that imagines a better future/society. That’s pretty open-ended, but I enjoy so much of what gets recommended on the show that I trust y’all to run with it! Thank you for all you do; you’re getting me through all this shit.  -Diana 3. Hello! On your most recent episode (the final one in 2020), one or both of you mentioned reading more nonfiction books than usual this year. I haven’t gotten into nonfiction much, but would like to read more of it. So I was wondering – what were your favorite nonfiction books that you read in 2020? Thanks! Love the show! -Kathleen 4.

Portland General Electric (PGE) created their green energy future impact tariff for large scale commercial and industrial customers to help them source 100% renewable energy. The energy will be sourced from new wind and solar facilities dedicated from a PPA through PGE. This huge initiative —  with about 160 megawatts —  was fully subscribed within 3 minutes of its release. It's eye-opening to hear about the opportunity and unmet demand in this space. Join today's guests Brian Faist & Tiffany Menhorn as they talk about this project, why it was so successful, and bumps along the way.   You will want to hear this episode if you are interested in...   Getting to know today's guests Brian & Tiffany [1:49] What is PGE's green energy future impact tariff? [3:04] What kind of hurdles were faced along the way? [6:31] Have you had renewable power conversations in the last 5 years? [9:25] Best practices when going through the solicitation process? [13:19] How might COVID affect the renewables business? [16:46]     Pushing through hurdles to meet customer's needs   PGE's first green tariff was ambitious and is paving the way for others. Tiffany says “I think when I get to work with utilities and corporates, what is most unique to me is that the utility company is constantly stuck in this dynamic — they want to be technologically advanced and they want to move things forward — yet they're so burdened by the state and federal regulatory process.”   One of the big challenges is that not all customers look the same. Some have the ability to staff energy industry experts and work through some of these more nuanced items in renewable procurement. Other customers just want green energy. They don't have time to think about how to accomplish that, but they know they want it. The challenging part is ensuring that you have designed something that incorporates the needs of all of those people.   Haven't had renewable power conversations within the last five years? Ask AGAIN!   One area where utilities have fallen short is in engaging customers with renewable power conversations. If you haven't done that in the past five years, do it again. PGE is not unique in the fact that they are trying to move from a more utility essential service type of organization to a customer-focused organization. They want to do what the customers want. Don't we all? Renewable power is probably at the top of the list right now, just below reliability. So, if you haven't had a conversation about renewable power in the past couple of years with your utility provider, go do it. See what they have available.   There are many programs across the country and more that will come out in the future. Two years ago, the buzzword was “additionality.”  Now it is “100% carbon-free”. It just evolves so fast in terms of what customers want that there will be endless offerings from your utility to help keep up.   How might COVID affect the renewables business?   When COVID first hit it was expected that demand would change but no one was sure of how and what that change would be. Utilities aren't expecting an increase in load demand. In fact,  they are probably looking at significant load reductions as businesses have closed offices and more people are working from home.   The reality is that it hasn't slowed down renewable energy; it's still something that — despite all the issues that COVID presents — will continue. There was a pause as everyone tried to understand the impacts of COVID, but everyone now understands that it will be here for a while. Our lives will be impacted for quite some time but customers still want to advance their sustainability goals.     Connect with our Guests   Tiffany Menhorn with Enel X North America Brain Faist with Portland General Electric      Tiffany Menhorn, Senior Business Development Manager, Wholesale Energy & Renewable Procurement, Enel X North America, LLC Tiffany Menhorn of Enel X works with commercial organizations and utilities to run competitive auctions for a wide range of commodity products. A fresh voice in the market, Tiffany is helping her forward-thinking partners secure highly competitive prices in creative ways and simplifying the process by which complex, emerging commodity products are sourced.

Mary Beth Keane’s 2019 novel Ask Again, Yes was an instant New York Times bestseller, and is now out on paperback. The book follows the families of two New York City police officers who live next door to each other in a suburb north of the city – and a tragedy that divides them and their children over four decades.

Mary Beth Keane's most recent novel, Ask Again, Yes, is a New York Times best-seller and The Tonight Show Summer Reads Pick. She has authored two other books, was named one of the National Book Foundation's "5 Under 35," and was awarded a John Simon Guggenheim fellowship for fiction writing. Mary Beth and I talked about the moving moving themes in her novel: forgiveness and sacrifice, depression and masking fear, and how we protect ourselves and the people we love. Centered around two neighboring families in a New York City suburb in the 1970s, I've heard her describe Ask Again, Yes as Romeo and Juliet, if the families had to hang out forever. It's a must-read!

Meredith and Kaytee are chatting this week with a very special guest! She is the person that has been MOST requested as a guest on our show, and she’s here! Anne Bogel, creator of Modern Mrs. Darcy and What Should I Read Next, and general, all-around amazing lady, is chatting with us today and we couldn’t be more excited. You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from all three of us: two are very similar in that they involve bookish friendships, and one is a library-related book demerit (a la Gretchen Rubin on the Happier podcast). Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. Two titles from each host, and we are bringing a wide range of books, from romance to thrillers, to interesting writing styles, to weirdo books. It’s all here! We’ve got an update for you on our Slow But Steady reads and what’s been happening in the past week, as well as a fun update from a listener. For our deep dive this week, we are chatting all things Anne Bogel. You’ll hear about the advice she would have given herself before Episode 1 of What Should I Read Next (now that she’s 200+ episodes in), you’ll hear about her new book coming out next year, and a bit of behind the scenes talk about giving book recs on the fly. Finally, this week, we are Pressing Books into Your Hands. And we know you cannot wait to see what Anne chose as her press! We’ve got a novella for every reader who loves books about books, the beginning of a new (old) mystery series, and a summer read that we’ve gushed about in previous episodes. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode.

It's been about two months since Endgame changed the M.C.U and we're back in the cinema for Spider-Man Far From Home as Peter Parker deals with deaths and his return to high school. Join us here for our spoiler-filled podcast all about the twenty third movie in the Marvel Cinematic Universe. Nick Fury, Peter Parker and Quentin Beck team up in Spider-Man Far From Home https://open.spotify.com/episode/2VATDulp0U6iIC5YUQYzHn Listen to our Spider-Man Far From Home Movie review on Spotify Synopsis for our Spider-Man Far From Home Movie Review Directed by: Jon Watts Written by: Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers. Peter Parker still feels the loss of Tony Stark after the defeat of Thanos, but he needs a break as everyone thinks Spider-Man should be the next Iron Man. The perfect opportunity comes up while he’s ghosting calls from Nick Fury as Peter must prepare for his school science trip to Europe with his classmate Ned, his crush M.J., his nemesis Flash Thompson and Brad Davis the 4th grader who’s all grown up!!! Peter doesn’t get to enjoy much of his Venician trip as an unknown elemental threat rises from the canals and attacks the city but is defeated by a new superhero nicknamed Mysterio. Back at their Hotel, Nick Fury finally catches up with Peter who introduces him to Mysterio (aka Quentin Beck) who is from another universe and here to save Earth from the Elementals of Wind, Water, Earth and Fire that had destroyed his own planet. Fury also gives Peter a pair of very special glasses from Tony Stark called E.D.I.T.H. they are the keys to Stark Industries. He challenges Peter to step-up as Spider-Man and to take on new threats in a world that has changed forever. As their trip moves to Prague, Spider-Man and Mysterio must team-up to take down the strongest elemental, Fire. After they have defeated it, Peter, who still feels uncomfortable trying to emulate Tony Stark, realises that Quentin Beck should be the new focus to superheroes on earth and hands over E.D.I.T.H. to Quentin. But after a piece of unusual tech is found by MJ and given to Peter on the Charles Bridge in Prague a Spidey-sense of deception forms in Peters mind over Quentin as betrayal begins to play out from Berlin to London that culminates with the battle of Tower Bridge with the mysterious Mysterio and his army of armed, armoured drones!

June 27th, 1976. A routine flight from the Israeli coastal city of Tel Aviv to Paris. Two hundred and forty eight passengers and crew members have been kidnapped by armed terrorists aboard Air France flight 139. The destination: a little known city called Entebbe in the middle of Africa. Who were the terrorists behind this? What unique challenges did Israeli government and military officials face?
