Wir springen diese Woche gleich zweimal an unterschiedlichste Orte. Das hier ist nämlich eine etwas andere Folge: eine Hörbuchfolge! Da ein Hörbuch unseres im September 2023 erschienen Buches aus diversen Gründen nie Zustande kam, mittlerweile die Rechte für eine Hörbuchversion aber wieder bei uns liegen, haben wir uns entschlossen, das Hörbuch einfach selbst zu machen. In mehr oder weniger regelmäßigen Abständen werden wir die zwanzig Geschichten in zehn Folgen als Podcastfolgen veröffentlichen. Damit das Ganze aber auch ein bisschen den Charakter unserer üblichen Folgen behält, werden wir danach ein bisschen über die Geschichten sprechen, inklusive verwendeter Literatur. Die mittlerweile üblichen "Erwähnten Folgen" sind in diesen Folgen jene, die wir mittels QR-Code im Buch verlinkt habe. In der ersten Geschichte liest Richard die von Daniel verfasste Geschichte darüber, wie eine Erfindung es endlich möglich machen sollte, verlässlich den Längengrad zu bestimmen. In der zweiten Geschichte liest Daniel die von Richard verfasste Geschichte darüber, wie zuerst Guano und dann die Erfindung eines deutschen Chemikers die Welt für immer verändern sollten. //Literatur ///Vogelkot und Brot aus der Luft - Daniel Charles.

Have you ever picked up a book, full of anticipation, only to quit 100 pages in? Or maybe you read the whole thing and were left annoyed and baffled when you reached the end? Welcome to the baked in cognitive dissonance of the bookish community. Uber hyped books can turn out to be...bad. Not just bad in your opinion but objectively bad when employing the metrics of writing skill, storytelling and production values. So why exactly are they selling millions of copies? This week, Jules and Madeleine delve into the roots of this question. Is it really a matter of opinion? Can you measure the fitness of a book based entirely on measurable considerations? Is it ever fair to call any book bad? Join the dragons as they interrogate their own beliefs on the subject. Title music: Ecstasy by Smiling Cynic

The Master Crime Writer and Phil's all time favourite writer, Michael Connelly, returns to Bestsellers to talk about his 40th novel. NightShade features a brand new character, Detective Stilwell, whom Michael loves so much, he's going to return to in future books. We chat to him about the challenges of creating a brand new series when you're forty books in; where Stilwell fits into the Connelly Universe that already includes Bosch, Ballard and The Lincoln Lawyer and why his characters who all work around law enforcement, seem to be Anti Establishment!We love Mike here at Bestsellers and wish him well with the unforeseen medical procedures his doctors have ordered, which have led to the cancellation of his UK and US tour. This information was not in the public domain at time of recording, hence why we don't talk about it.
Athena Liu had everything Juniper Hayward wanted... and then she died. and so begins the story for Juniper 'June' Hayward, our completely despicable and unhinged (white) protagonist who can't. stop. lying. in this month's episode, we dig into Yellowface by R. F. Kuang. we talk about books written about influencers in the age of influencers, the murky and confusing connections between fiction and reality, and what could make a book with such an unlikeable protagonist so compulsively readable. throughout the episode we touch on cultural appropriation and ask the question: who gets to tell what story?synopsis music by James Minorsend us questions, things you want us to speak about or just say hi!choose our next podcast read by going here and voting in the first week of each month!make sure you subscribe to hear our groundbreaking thoughts as soon as they are unleashed. if you want to be on the same page as us, follow us at talklit.gethit on Instagram and TikTok.theme music born from the creative genius of Big Boi B.talk lit, get hit are reading and recording on Giabal, Jagera, Jarowair & Turrbal lands. we acknowledge the cultural diversity of Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples and pay respect to Elders past, present and future. always was, always will be.
In this Allison Larkin interview, we discuss writing Home of the American Circus and the creative writing routines that have transformed her life with ADHD.This week, I'm talking with my friend and bestselling author Allison Larkin about her latest novel, Home of the American Circus. But this conversation goes far beyond crafting this sprawling family drama. Allison is pulling back the curtain on how she writes such emotionally resonant stories while navigating ADHD and the beautiful writing habits she's uncovered by simply embracing her creative brain.Home of the American Circus is set in Somers, NY—the birthplace of the American circus and the author's hometown. Freya must return home after a financial emergency in this beautiful family drama. The house she's returned to is crumbling, and the relationships are even more so. But when she discovers her 15-year-old niece secretly living there, she unravels her past and reimagines what healing might look like.In this warm conversation, Allison and I discuss:

Es war eine Insta-Kachel mit einem kleinen Video, die Caros Aufmerksamkeit erweckte: Danish Dads stand darüber – überall tummelten sie sich in Kopenhagen mit ihren Kiddies, auf Spielplätzen, in öffentlichen Parkanlagen, kaum ein Platz in der City schien vor ihnen sicher ;-) Nach einem kurzen Austausch mit Ann-Marlene dazu, die ja bekanntermaßen Dänin ist, war klar: Dieser Anblick ist nicht nur der dänischen Hauptstadt vorbehalten, sondern prägt überall in unserem Nachbarland das Straßenbild. Auch wenn es positive Ansätze gibt, ist Deutschland noch meilenweit von diesem Zustand entfernt. Allzu oft übernehmen Mütter hierzulande nach wie vor einen Großteil der Care-Arbeit – und das hat Auswirkungen auf die Beziehung und den Sex. Was läuft in Dänemark anders, wieso kann die Care-Arbeit dort offenbar viel gleichmäßiger verteilt werden – und wieso ist der "Danish Way of Parenting" (so der Name eines dänischen Bestsellers, der in 31 Sprachen übersetzt wurde) so erstrebenswert? Ann-Marlene und Caro klären auf. So viel sei vorab verraten: Hyggeligkeit spielt bei all dem eine nicht unbeträchtliche Rolle …

Back to normal! No guests this week, just a bunch of books to talk about, including some big names. Is Sam's mic kind of wonky early? Yes. Just get by that. It doesn't last long. And you really want to hear about: - "Great Big Beautiful Life," by Emily Henry, which is just enough different from her previous beach reads to make a great beach read. It's a ridiculous biography contest set in Georgia. - "The Name of this Band is R.E.M.," by Peter Ames Carlin, which Sam found a little boring, but it's hard to tell if that's just because R.E.M. is a boring band. - "Raising Hare," by Chloe Dalton, which really is about raising a bunny, but not a bunny, a hare, which is a different mysterious kind of animal. Better than that sounds, though. - "Everything is Tuberculosis," by John Green, which has a terrible name, but is very readable because John Green can write like crazy. This leads to talk about Reddit forums detailing woo-woo mom forum posting, for reasons, and discussion of the term "vlogger." - "Whyte Python World Tour," by Travis Kennedy, an absolutely absurd and often funny tale of a hair-metal band secretly working for the CIA to bring down the Wall in the late 1980s. Sam doesn't know what to make of it. - "Emily Wilde's Encyclopaedia of Faeries," by Heather Fawcett, which is delightful, about an academic cataloging faeries in Norway. It's cozy and quite charming. Also, no, we didn't get this posted in time for Bookstore Day or the Literary Festival, but just try to look past that. It's already happened and you missed it. But there will be other stuff that's awesome in the future, we promise.
Send us a textCan you feel it? Well, if you don't live in New Orleans right now, maybe not but LIVE IT vicariously through me and my family! Douglas and my oldest daughter LOVE Jazz Fest. Me, you may ask? Nope. I went back 13 years ago to surprise my sweet mama! We took her to see Al Green and it was epic. It was hot. It was super bright and my skin turned 7 shades of red. I'm good on that, but I LOVE to see the happiness flow through my family and the rest of partakers. This year, I thought it would be super cool to welcome the King of Food Reviews and All things NOLA! Who none other than NOLA.COM's inspirational food and culture writer, Ian McNulty! And y'all... he is the REAL DEAL.Foodies are intimidating, usually. Remember that guy that would come to review the food in the Disney movie Ratatouille? Ok- well that is NOT Ian. I was able to sit down and really hear the passion in his voice and the love in his heart for New Orleans. Ian McNulty has been writing about the life and culture of New Orleans since 1999 as a reporter, columnist, and author. He is a staff writer for the New Orleans Advocate, where he focuses on the food culture of one of the world's great food cities, and his radio commentaries air weekly on the New Orleans NPR affiliate. He is author of A Season of Night: New Orleans Life after Katrina and Louisiana Rambles: Exploring America's Cajun and Creole Heartland, both published by University Press of Mississippi. The latter was named one of the top travel books by the Society of American Travel Writers. (courtesy google.com) Sit down, grab some Iced Tea and get inspired by Mr. McNulty's journey from North to South and all in between. Find his book all over and here! https://www.amazon.com/Season-Night-Orleans-after-Katrina/dp/1934110914______________________________________________________________________________________________Then later, we welcome New York Times Best Selling Duo from the Illustrated Baby Sitter's Club series and the Superman Adventures Comics, Raina Telgemeier and Scott McCloud!The two teamed up with Scholastic to create a children's novel that allow kids' own wheels to turn while submerging them into a world that explores their own understanding of topics like death. My oldest daughter loved it. It was so cute to see her curled up on the couch or her bed reading this book with such pride. She was so excited to review it for me. "Makayla is bursting with ideas but doesn't know how to make them into a story. Howard loves to draw, but he struggles to come up with ideas and his dad thinks comics are a waste of time. Lynda constantly draws in her sketchbook but keeps focusing on what she feels are mistakes, and Art simply loves being creative and is excited to try something new. They come together to form The Cartoonists Club, where kids can learn about making comics and use their creativity and imagination for their own storytelling adventures!"Find this BRAND NEW and NEWLY RELEASED BOOK EVERYWHERE!
