POPULARITY
In this episode of the Fully-Booked literary podcast, we're back in the room with Meaghan, Shirin, and Arthur, though Arthur gets plenty of playful shade right out of the gate. The energy is chaotic in the best way, and we all seem to embrace it.This time around, we're not doing a structured game or typical author discussion. Instead, we've decided to have a casual roundtable where we toss out book recommendations based on popular titles.Think of it as a “if you liked this, try this” style chat, the kind of stuff you might scroll through on BookTok, but with more tangents, more laughs, and a whole lot more coffee shop banter.So, yes, it's a podcast version of one of those aesthetic recommendation reels, but longer and full of personality. We're hoping it helps listeners find their next favorite read, whether they're winding down for bed or commuting with earbuds in. Along the way, we make plenty of jokes, toss in personal stories, and keep things as relatable as ever.Cozy Fantasy And Twisty YA PicksMeaghan kicks things off with Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree. It's a standout in cozy fantasy, a genre that's all about lower stakes and high charm. This one's about a retired assassin who just wants to run a coffee shop. We love it because it's charming without the constant doom that high fantasy sometimes leans into. If you're tired of watching your favorite characters die dramatically, this is your safe space.From there, we get three recommendations to follow that cozy vibe:This Will Be Fun by E.B. Asher offers more of an epic twist, following four heroes who reunite years after saving the world to stop another evil. It's got humor, sarcasm, and a nostalgic team-up energy.Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfhart includes orcs, elves, and romance, much like Legends and Lattes, but kicks the fantasy world-building up a notch.Dreadful by Caitlin Rosakus is quirky and a bit chaotic. A man wakes up in an evil wizard's lair and slowly realizes… he's the wizard. It's got dark magic with a comedic undertone that keeps things from getting too heavy.Next, Shirin brings up We Were Liars by E. Lockhart, a twisty, emotional YA mystery that clearly divides readers. Some of us saw the ending a mile away. Others (hi, Shirin) were shocked. Either way, it sparks strong reactions. From there, the recommended reads are:One of Us is Lying by Karen McManus, a classic high school murder mystery.A Good Girl's Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, which begins as a school project but morphs into a full-on whodunit.Both offer those unreliable narrators and layers of secrets that make for great binge reads (and binge-worthy shows, too).Sci-Fi Sarcasm and Robots with FeelingsArthur (yes, we're letting him talk now) shifts us into sci-fi territory. He spotlights The Murderbot Diaries by Martha Wells, which is being adapted into a TV show. The series centers around a sarcastic AI bot who's pretending not to be sentient while dealing with messy human feelings. It's funny, sharp, and dives into questions about identity and autonomy.The companion picks for Murderbot are:Neuromancer by William Gibson, the cyberpunk classic full of noir and hacking vibes.Autonomous by Annalee Newitz, a gritty, emotional dive into freedom and biotech ethics.Ancillary Justice by Ann Leckie features a starship AI stuck in a single human body, trying to cope and also seek revenge.This whole section sparks a thoughtful conversation about how sci-fi is evolving to focus more on questions of self, ethics, and AI rights, especially as real-world conversations about artificial intelligence ramp up.From Gothic to Gruesome: Creepy Houses and Haunting PastsMeaghan circles back with another strong pick: Rebecca by Daphne du Maurier. This gothic classic inspires a group of haunting and eerie recommendations:The September House by Carissa Orlando, where every September, the house goes full horror mode with blood on the walls and something lurking in the basement.The Only One Left by Riley Sager, another gothic mystery involving a secluded cliffside mansion and a historical murder case.We Have Always Lived in the Castle by Shirley Jackson delivers that same psychological tension and sense of dread found in Rebecca.We also detour briefly into House of Leaves territory, a book so bizarre in structure it's basically unreadable in audiobook form. Everyone agrees it's an experience, not just a novel.Court of Thorns, Shadow Daddies, and Fae RomanceThen we dive into a big one: A Court of Thorns and Roses (or ACOTAR, because who has time for long titles) by Sarah J. Maas. This fantasy romance gets a lot of love and some side-eye, depending on who you ask. It starts like Beauty and the Beast but quickly turns into something much more plot-heavy and twisty.Meaghan recommends:Quicksilver by Callie Hart, where the heroine gets dragged into the fae realm after trying to save her family. It's rich in world-building and dramatic romantic tension.Kingdom of the Wicked by Kerri Maniscalco, a witchy, demon-summoning fantasy with Italian vibes, mouthwatering food descriptions, and yes—another shadowy love interest.We joke a lot about the term shadow daddy, which is hilarious and weirdly accurate for some of these characters. The group shares a good laugh about imagining their dads lurking in shadows. Totally normal podcast behavior...One-Person Sci-Fi Adventures (and Existential Crisis Fuel)Back in sci-fi land, Arthur brings us to Project Hail Mary by Andy Weir, which is getting a film adaptation with Ryan Gosling. The book features a lone scientist in space trying to save Earth, accompanied only by an alien rock creature named Rocky. The humor and heart between the human and the alien make it surprisingly emotional.The suggested read-alikes:The Martian, also by Weir. Obviously.Beacon 23 by Hugh Howey has that isolated, losing-your-sanity-in-space vibe.Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke, a classic of alien exploration and big questions.We get into the emotional toll of reading too much sci-fi. Some of us find it uplifting and full of imagination. Others (Shirin) find it deeply depressing. Fair enough.Vampires, Book Clubs, and Dark HumorShirin wraps things up with The Southern Book Club's Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. It's part horror, part comedy, and all about strong women who take matters into their own hands. Think housewives turned vampire hunters. The book doesn't shy away from gruesome details, especially involving rats and face tentacles. But it's also heartfelt and hilarious.Similar reads include:The Honeys by Ryan La Sala, a genre-bending YA horror story about identity, loss, and hive-mind weirdness.So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison, another vampire tale that's more about the women fighting their way through chaos than the monsters themselves.We end with another surprise: Arthur picks something non-sci-fi for once. Catabasis by R.F. Kuang gets mentioned as a dark academia fantasy with two rival scholars traveling to hell. Yep. Hell. To save a professor. Talk about dedication.Recommendations here include:The Atlas Six by Olivie BlakeThe Secret History by Donna TarttIf We Were Villains by M.L. RioThey all explore dark magic, academic rivalries, and blurred lines between performance and reality. By the end, our TBR piles are towering, and we're all a little overwhelmed in the best way.Wrapping UpWe went through a ton of books in this episode: cozy fantasies, murder mysteries, sci-fi sagas, dark academia, and good old-fashioned horror. Some are funny. Some are terrifying. Some make you question your life choices. And some just make you feel seen as a reader who wants something a little different.We hope at least one of these picks piqued your interest or gave you something new to add to your list. And if your TBR just grew five feet taller, well… same. Until next time, keep on reading. We'll be here, figuring out how to read all of these before next week.
We began this episode of the Fully-Booked: Literary podcast with just the two of us, Meaghan and Shirin. Arthur wasn't with us this time, and it felt like a return to our original format.We joked about possibly rotating the lineup again soon, but encouraged listeners to speak up if they preferred the two-host dynamic. We even said they could let Arthur know in the loudest way possible. The tone was lighthearted as we poked fun at our evolving chemistry, especially how Shirin and Arthur now seem to share a kind of sibling energy. That dynamic, we agreed, might eventually lead to Meaghan getting pushed out of the mix entirely.This conversation took us down memory lane, where we recalled a trip where Dan (Shirin's husband) couldn't come along. Meaghan was sure she'd feel like the third wheel, but it was the other way around. Shirin and Arthur bickered like siblings the entire day, leaving Meaghan feeling like an outsider.That moment, among others, reminded us how long we've all known each other and how naturally our dynamic has evolved. Meaghan and Shirin have been friends for nearly fifteen years. Shirin has been with Arthur for eleven years. This long-standing familiarity shapes how we collaborate on the podcast, creating a casual and comfortable space for experimentation and banter.Bringing Back the Game: Plot Guesses and Literary CurveballsWe leaned into a game we first played earlier in the year with Arthur. This time, Shirin joined in for her first round.The game is simple.One host reads a short passage from a book the other hasn't read, and then the other person tries to guess what the book is about. We made it clear that the goal isn't to identify the book title but to predict its plot based solely on a few opening lines. It's a mix of deduction and humor, and we had a great time with it.We started with The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden. Shirin read a monologue from the prologue, and Meaghan quickly assumed the narrator, Tom, was a stalker. She picked up on clues like his obsessive love for Daisy since childhood.Meaghan predicted a story where he either kills her or becomes possessive and dangerous. Shirin revealed that the book has split perspectives and time jumps. The real plot follows a woman named Sydney who begins to suspect her boyfriend may be involved in a murder. Meaghan was given a five out of ten for capturing the general vibe, even though she missed key elements.Next was The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune. Shirin hadn't read the book, but she guessed it involved people with psychic or magical abilities living in a mysterious house. Meaghan confirmed the premise and explained that Linus, a lonely social worker, is sent to assess magical children in a secluded home.One of those children is the Antichrist. The book is both whimsical and heartwarming, and Linus undergoes major personal growth. The mood of the book reminded us of a gentler, more humorous version of Miss Peregrine's Home for Peculiar Children.MLMs, Murder Mysteries, and Magical MishapsWe continued with Death in the Downline by Maria Abrams. Meaghan read the opening lines, which didn't give much away. However, Shirin picked up on subtle clues in the setting and the tone.She correctly guessed it had something to do with MLMs and maybe a darker twist. Meaghan revealed that the main character, Drew, joins a shady MLM out of desperation after being laid off and moving back in with her dad. She is lured in by a glowing ex-friend, and things quickly spiral into something much more disturbing. Meaghan praised the book's comedic edge and its criticism of exploitative business models. Shirin earned a high score for that guess.Then came The Invisible Life of Addie LaRue by V. E. Schwab. Shirin had vague memories of the book and correctly guessed that Addie is immortal. Meaghan explained the twist.Addie lives forever after making a deal with the devil, but everyone she meets forgets her instantly. That changes when she meets someone who remembers her. The story is more character-driven than plot-heavy, which made it a hit for some and slow for others. Still, Meaghan enjoyed its emotional weight and gave Shirin a seven out of ten for her solid instincts.Apartments, Vampires, and Fantasy FeastsLock Every Door by Riley Sager came next. The scene Meaghan read involved a character waking up disoriented in a hospital. Shirin guessed it was about someone attacked in their own home. That guess was partially right.The story follows Jules, a woman hired to apartment-sit in a posh, historic New York building. She starts noticing strange behavior and uncovers a chilling mystery when another sitter goes missing. The thriller turns out to be less supernatural than expected, which surprised Meaghan in a good way. Shirin received a five out of ten for a reasonable but misdirected prediction.Shirin brought out Quicksilver by Callie Hart, and Meaghan made some strong assumptions based on the cover and fantasy tropes. She guessed the protagonist had magical abilities and ended up in an enemies-to-lovers arc involving a mysterious man. She was right about most of it.Seres, the main character, discovers she can manipulate metal, especially silver. This catches the attention of Kingfisher, a fae ruler searching for someone like her. He whisks her away to the fae realm, where a larger vampire war is underway. Shirin said she'd have to reread the book for all the details, but confirmed Meaghan's guess was impressively close.Next up was So Thirsty by Rachel Harrison. Meaghan guessed correctly that the story involved female friendship and vampires.The main character, Sloane, is trapped in an unhappy marriage and joins her best friend Naomi for a birthday trip. They meet a suspicious group of people, and things take a dark, supernatural turn. The book blends horror and feminist themes, exploring messy yet meaningful female bonds. Meaghan shared how much she enjoys Harrison's storytelling style, which centers female protagonists in paranormal scenarios.Secret Libraries, Teenage Witches, and Shadowy WorldsShirin read from The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake. The book opens with musings about the Library of Alexandria, and Meaghan admitted she had no idea what the actual plot was. Still, she correctly identified it as dark academia involving magic and a mysterious institution.Shirin confirmed that six talented individuals are recruited by Atlas to protect ancient magical knowledge, and each character brings a unique power. The book is about power, secrets, and alliances within this elite group.Meaghan introduced Witchcraft for Wayward Girls by Grady Hendrix. Shirin guessed it was about a rebellious teen forced into a new environment, possibly where witchcraft becomes involved. That was pretty close.The story follows a pregnant teenager in the 1970s who is sent to a home for unwed mothers. There, she bonds with other girls, and they begin exploring witchcraft through a mysterious librarian's book. While the story slows in the middle, Meaghan praised Hendrix's ability to create compelling female characters and write satisfying endings.To finish, Shirin brought out House of Earth and Blood from the Crescent City series by Sarah J. Maas. Meaghan didn't know much about it beyond the genre but guessed it had fae and epic fantasy elements.Shirin explained that the emotional core of the book centers on a strong female friendship. When Bryce's best friend is murdered, the plot becomes a murder mystery wrapped in a modern fantasy world. Shirin prefers this series to ACOTAR for its stronger emotional resonance and more grounded character development.Wrapping It Up: Books Swapped and Fun HadAs we wrapped up, we laughed about the growing pile of books sitting beside us. Meaghan ended up borrowing a few of Shirin's picks, while Shirin promised to give some of Meaghan's thrillers a shot.We agreed this guessing game would be something to revisit. It not only highlights our reading differences but also reinforces how well we understand each other's tastes. Whether you're into fantasy epics or fast-paced mysteries, there's always something worth discovering.
We begin the podcast with a reflective tone as Meaghan and Shereen close out the year and prepare for significant personal changes. Shereen announces that this is her last episode for the foreseeable future due to the imminent arrival of her first child. This milestone marks a shift for the show, with plans for a guest host to join Meaghan in upcoming episodes. The hosts express excitement and apprehension about the temporary format change, seeing it as an opportunity to explore new genres and perspectives, particularly with a guest host with a strong interest in science fiction. As Shereen transitions into motherhood, the dynamic of the podcast is expected to evolve. The hosts share their anticipation for how the content will broaden, especially by introducing more science-heavy discussions that reflect the guest hosts' interests. This sets the stage for a year of fresh insights and diverse book topics. Our Top Reads of 2024: Personal Favorites and Noteworthy Selections Shereen’s Picks Shereen kicks off with her love for fantasy, highlighting Sarah J. Maas’s Crescent City series. She delves into the emotional depth of the first book, which combines themes of friendship, loss, and mystery. The narrative’s focus on the protagonist Bryce’s journey to uncover her best friend Danica’s murderer resonates deeply with Shereen. She appreciates the blend of personal stakes and world-building, deeming it a strong contender for her favorite Maas work. Shereen also discusses Iron Flame by Rebecca Yarros, the second book in the Fourth Wing series. Initially skeptical about its originality, she became enamored with its unique incorporation of sassy dragons, which elevated the story beyond other similar fantasy narratives. This enthusiasm underscores her appreciation for nuanced characters and engaging mythologies. Meaghan’s Picks Meaghan’s first selection is A Court of Wings and Ruin by Sarah J. Maas, which she read slowly to savor its epic fantasy elements. She praises the protagonist Feyre’s evolution into a commanding figure and commends the intricate battle scenes. Meaghan also notes the satisfying character arcs and developments, particularly those of Elaine and Nesta, which added depth to the narrative. Another standout for Meaghan is The Southern Book Club’s Guide to Slaying Vampires by Grady Hendrix. She admires its humorous yet horrifying portrayal of southern housewives battling a monstrous vampire. The juxtaposition of humor and horror, along with vivid character dynamics, makes it a memorable read. The book’s exploration of gender roles and community dynamics is another highlight. Shared Favorites The hosts collectively admire The Only One Left by Riley Sager, a thriller with a Lizzie Borden-inspired plot. The story’s blend of suspense, rich character backstories, and unexpected twists earns it high praise. Both hosts appreciate how the narrative keeps readers guessing, with layers of mystery that gradually unravel in surprising ways. Another shared favorite is None of This Is True by Lisa Jewell, a fast-paced thriller about two women with interconnected lives. The story’s exploration of obsession and deception, coupled with its beach-read appeal, makes it a standout for its compelling plot and psychological intrigue. Diversifying Reading Experiences Throughout the year, both hosts embraced books outside their usual genres, which enriched their reading journeys. Meaghan highlights Cackle by Rachel Harrison, a supernatural story blending witchcraft with themes of female empowerment and self-discovery. She appreciates Harrison’s ability to write relatable female characters and her knack for weaving humor into darker narratives. Shereen shares her experience with A Good Girl’s Guide to Murder by Holly Jackson, a young adult mystery that deftly combines a school project with a high-stakes investigation. The book’s clever twists and engaging characters impressed her, marking it as an enjoyable deviation from her typical fantasy reads. Underrated Gems Both hosts also explored lesser-known works, such as Between by L.L. Starling. This cozy fantasy follows a teacher who stumbles upon a portal to another world and becomes entwined in its political and magical conflicts. Meaghan’s appreciation for the book stems from its immersive world-building and heartfelt character interactions. Similarly, Shereen highlights The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake, a dark academia novel about a secret society tied to the Library of Alexandria. Though she hasn’t finished it, she praises its intricate plot and diverse cast, showcasing her interest in thought-provoking and atmospheric stories. Honorable Mentions The hosts round off the episode by acknowledging books that almost made their top lists. Shereen mentions Twisted Love by Ana Huang, which, despite its flaws, provided an entertaining and memorable listening experience. Meaghan recalls The Resort by Sarah Ox, a thriller set in Thailand that surprised her with its final twist. Both selections highlight the year’s variety and the joys of discovering unexpected delights. Reflecting on our reading year, we agree that 2024 was marked by growth and exploration. We found value in stepping outside our comfort zones and discovering stories that challenged and entertained us in equal measure. We would also like to say thank you to our listeners and contributors. It's the collaborative spirit that keeps the podcast thriving! Looking Ahead: New Beginnings and Continued Adventures As the podcast transitions into 2025, the hosts look forward to new opportunities and challenges. Shereen’s temporary departure signals a shift in dynamics, but the hosts remain optimistic about maintaining the show’s engaging and inclusive atmosphere. With plans to explore diverse genres, feature guest hosts, and adapt to new circumstances, the podcast promises to remain a vibrant space for book lovers. In closing, the hosts encourage listeners to prioritize self-care and find joy in reading as they navigate the new year. They express hope for continued growth, both personally and professionally, and invite their audience to join them in celebrating the transformative power of books.

Join us this week for The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake. When six brilliant magicians are approached to be candidates for entry into the Alexandrian Society, and granted access to the wealth of knowledge in the library of Alexandria, they all accept, knowing one of them will be eliminated at the end of the year. Developing greater power may come with a great and terrible cost—one they may not be willing to pay.
In this episode of “How Do You Say That?!” sponsored by britishvoiceover.co.uk, David Monteith joins Sam and Mark to turn a very dry health and safety corporate script into something you'd want to learn from. We have a bodice ripping sexual encounter, a trip in The TARDIS, and a performance where you can actually feel the pain!Our VO question this week is all about what you keep in your booth, apart from your mic obviously!We'd love you to join in and send us your version of one of the reads in today's show – just pop it onto an mp3 and send it to podcast@britishvoiceover.co.ukScript 1Before working with hazardous materials, you must follow these safe work practices:Store hazardous chemicals in areas that can be locked, but still have good ventilation.Do not store hazardous chemicals in cool-drink bottles or any other unmarked container.Ensure hazardous materials are in their original containers that clearly say what they are.Do not pour hazardous materials down drains or dump them.Keep ignition sources (for example, mobile phones, lighters, cigarettes, etc.) away from hazardous materials.Report any leaks or uncontrolled hazardous materials to your supervisor immediately.Script 2Repression is a central element of the drama in both Pride and Prejudice and Jane Eyre. Seduction in these novels is a subtle, socially distanced affair. There may be cads and mistresses, damaged reputations, falls from grace and dishonourable conduct, but all matters of direct sexual engagement are barely alluded to, let alone explicitly depicted. Britches remain firmly buckled; bodices remain securely bound. Happily for the novelist, the suggestion of, prelude to and promise of sex is often more sensual than the act itself.**Listen to all of our podcasts here - you can also watch on YouTube, or say "Alexa, Play How Do You Say That?!"About our guest: Actor, Director, Tutor/Coach, Podcaster, David Monteith is multi-talented!

Book reviewer Catherine Raynes has been reading The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake and an incredible autobiography from Saudi Arabian woman Rahaf Mohammed, called Rebel.LISTEN ABOVE
Olivie Blake's The Atlas Six pairs well with an engagement *wink, wink* in today's episode. It was actually a great book with a lot less to make fun of (unfortunately).Follow us @anovelblend on IG and find our group on FB: Novel Blends Podcast
The Match by Harlan Coben: Sequel to a book called The Boy from the Woods a couple of years ago – but reads perfectly well on its own. Wilde is the boy who was discovered living and growing up in the woods as a child, now keen to find his family so he sends off to a DNA website who give him a match for his father – but then finds himself caught up in an online community who work to expose anonymous online trolls, at which point things get really dangerous. The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake: this was originally self-published and got a lot of attention – was recently picked up by one of the big international publishing companies who are putting a lot of effort behind it and expect it to be huge – interest has been driven by prominence on the TikTok book sharing platform #Booktok. The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society's archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will.
Yay! Finally, we were able to pick a wine that the book specifically calls out. We pair a bottle of Josh Sauvignon Blanc with Liv Constantine's The Last Mrs Parrish.Don't forget to rate, review, and subscribe so you don't miss the next episode (which is The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake by the way - get to reading).
ACOFAE welcomes author, director, tiktok personality, and all-around wonderful person Samantha (LiteraryLibra) to the pod. Join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie in fangirling as Samantha shares about the book she is writing, experiences with Booktok and social media, and her love for The Cruel Prince. There may or may not be a couple book recommendations sprinkled throughout the episode as well. Truly the episode is kind of all over the place. The original recording was over 3 hours long so editor Sam has split it into two episodes. We end this episode asking Samantha to go into detail about the film she directed and you'll hear the answer in part 2 which will be out April 4th.

The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/36vIWxF The Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity, are the foremost secret society of magical academicians in the world. Those who earn a place among the Alexandrians will secure a life of wealth, power, and prestige beyond their wildest dreams, and each decade, only the six most uniquely talented magicians are selected to be considered for initiation. Enter the latest round of six: Libby Rhodes and Nico de Varona, unwilling halves of an unfathomable whole, who exert uncanny control over every element of physicality. Reina Mori, a naturalist, who can intuit the language of life itself. Parisa Kamali, a telepath who can traverse the depths of the subconscious, navigating worlds inside the human mind. Callum Nova, an empath easily mistaken for a manipulative illusionist, who can influence the intimate workings of a person's inner self. Finally, there is Tristan Caine, who can see through illusions to a new structure of reality—an ability so rare that neither he nor his peers can fully grasp its implications. When the candidates are recruited by the mysterious Atlas Blakely, they are told they will have one year to qualify for initiation, during which time they will be permitted preliminary access to the Society's archives and judged based on their contributions to various subjects of impossibility: time and space, luck and thought, life and death. Five, they are told, will be initiated. One will be eliminated. The six potential initiates will fight to survive the next year of their lives, and if they can prove themselves to be the best among their rivals, most of them will. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

“If you want to create art, and you want to create art the way you want to, and it's just for you, that's fine. But if you want to have a writing career, then my advice is...” Olivie Blake's dark academic fantasy debut, The Atlas Six, has a cult following for a reason (believe the hype!) and she joins us on the show to talk about her character-driven epic (and which of her characters appeared first), her writing process and what she's learned over time, her daydream playlists, what she's reading and watching, and so much more.

"Highly Recommended"In a first, Steve and Kate mostly rave about what we have seen and read. While we have reservations about a few things—sorry, Boba Fett and Sandra Bullock—you'll hear about plenty of worthwhile pop culture. We discuss:Streaming"Picnic at Hanging Rock" , Amazon Prime. In this Australian gothic miniseries based on the 1967 novel, a group of schoolgirls vanish on an outing. Natalie Dormer ("Game of Thrones") plays their mysterious headmistress."We Are Lady Parts", Peacock. This British series about four young Muslim women in a punk rock band turns big ideas about identity, representation, and gender into binge-worthy comedy. Steve says it's "smart and funny, with infectious energy and moving moments too.""Ron's Gone Wrong", Disney +. In this computer-generated animated film, a lonely middle schooler befriends a defective "B-bot" and learns about true friendship and being yourself. "Shazam!", HBO Max or rental. When 14-year-old Billy Batson transforms into an adult superhero with bulging muscles and superpowers, he's still a goofy kid on the inside. One of the best DC Comics-inspired movies."The Unforgivable", Netflix. When Sandra Bullock is released from prison after doing her time, society refuses to forgive her violent past."The Book of Boba Fett", Disney +. In a series from the makers of "The Mandalorian," the "Star Wars" bounty hunter takes off his battered helmet to try to rule over Jabba the Hutt's criminal empire.Novels"The Midnight Library," by Matt Haig. In this enchanting "It's a Wonderful Life"-styled novel, a young woman experiences the different versions of her life that would have occurred if she had made different decisions."The Atlas Six," by Olivie Blake. Six uniquely talented magicians compete—to the death—to win a place in the Alexandrian Society, caretakers of lost knowledge from the greatest civilizations of antiquity.Popahallics #62 PlaylistAttack of the killer guitars! This week's playlist includes punk rock (like We Are Lady Parts and Ramones), garage rock (like the Delmonas), surf rock (like the Suffragettes)—and The Nude Party, whose sound blends the Kinks, Lou Reed, early Stones, Dylan, and CCR. Lyrically, we ponder such existential questions as: "Davy Crockett, what you got in your pocket?" Listen.

The book of the moment for today's episode is The Atlas Six by Olivie Blake. Just a forewarning for those of you listening, this is NOT a spoiler-free zone. We will be discussing this book in all of its glory, which of course includes revealing the ending. The author of The Atlas Six, Olivie Blake is a lover and writer of stories, many of which involve the fantastic, the paranormal, or the supernatural, but not always. More often, her works revolve around what it means to be human (or not), and the endlessly interesting complexities of life and love. Olivie lives and works in Los Angeles, where she is generally tolerated by her rescue pit bull.
