In this episode, we're talking all things The Hunger Games—the book that took the world by storm and redefined YA dystopian fiction. We'll dive into what makes this story so gripping, from the intense survival stakes to the sharp social commentary woven into Panem's brutal world.We'll break down Katniss Everdeen as a protagonist, the tension of the Games, and the deeper themes of power, control, and rebellion that still feel just as relevant today. Plus, we'll share our favorite moments, biggest shocks, and how this book set the stage for a whole new era of storytelling.Whether you've read it a dozen times or are picking it up for the first time, join us for a fun, thoughtful conversation about why The Hunger Games still hits just as hard as it did when it first came out.Content WarningsChild deathSupport 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/Tumblr: https://teachingmycattoread.tumblr.comYoutube: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFXi9LNQv8SBQt8ilgTZXtQListener Surveyhttps://forms.gle/TBZUBH4SK8dez8RP9
We can't believe it. Can you believe it? We actually finished reading Finnegans Wake. What started out as a podcast to read an "unreadable book" has turned into a journey that has endeared us to a magical community, connected with our family and friends, and reawakened our sense of what art can be. While sometimes it felt like climbing a sheer cliff-face, the toeholds we gained along the way made this a delightfully fulfilling project. For this final episode, Toby and TJ look back on WAKE and consider how you know when a project is over, embracing confusion, and how much we appreciate the spectators at the end of a marathon. We talk Joyce on film, Pinter, the Beatles, Lord of the Rings, and hypertexts, and pinpoint the exact moment the Harry Potter franchise lost TJ. We take on translation, and gimmicks, and mountaineering, and the question of how-fast-is-too-fast-to-read-the-Wake. Then, as we consider the stadium-sized Rubik's Cube that is the Wake, we are visited by the Patron Saint of WAKE for words of congratulations. It's an unmissable end to what has indeed proven to be a surprisingly listenable podcast.This week's chatters: Toby Malone, TJ YoungProgress: 628 pages complete, 0 pages to go; 100% read.Contextual NotesThe Patron Saint of WAKEMichael Ian Black congratulates WAKE!

In 1939, reviewing the beloved M-G-M classic “The Wizard of Oz” for The New Yorker, the critic Russell Maloney declared that the film held “no trace of imagination, good taste, or ingenuity.” The use of color was “eye-straining,” the dialogue was unbelievable, and the movie as a whole was “a stinkeroo.” This take might shock today's audiences, but Maloney is far from the only critic to go so pointedly against the popular view. In a special live show celebrating The New Yorker's centenary, the hosts of Critics at Large discuss this and other examples drawn from the magazine's archives, including Dorothy Parker's 1928 takedown of “Winnie-the-Pooh” and Pauline Kael's assessment of Al Pacino as “a lump” at the center of “Scarface.” These pieces reveal something essential about the role of criticism and the value of thinking through a work's artistic merits (or lack thereof) on the page. “I felt all these feelings while reading Terrence Rafferty tearing to shreds ‘When Harry Met Sally…,' ” Alexandra Schwartz says. “But it made the movie come alive for me again, to have to dispute it with the critic.”Read, watch, and listen with the critics:“Lies, Lies, and More Lies,” by Terrence Rafferty (The New Yorker)“Bitches and Witches,” by John Lahr (The New Yorker)“Don't Shoot the Book-Reviewer; He's Doing the Best He Can,” by Clifton Fadiman (The New Yorker)“The Feminine Mystique,” by Pauline Kael (The New Yorker)“The Wizard of Hollywood,” by Russell Maloney (The New Yorker)“The Fake Force of Tony Montana,” by Pauline Kael (The New Yorker)“Renoir's Problem Nudes,” by Peter Schjeldahl (The New Yorker)“Humans of New York and the Cavalier Consumption of Others,” by Vinson Cunningham (The New Yorker)“The Great Sadness of Ben Affleck,” by Naomi Fry (The New Yorker)“President Killers and Princess Diana Find Musical Immortality,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The New Yorker)“Obscure Objects of Desire: On Jeffrey Eugenides,” by Alexandra Schwartz (The Nation)“Reading ‘The House at Pooh Corner,' ” by Dorothy Parker (The New Yorker)New episodes drop every Thursday.

D. J. Taylor, literary critic, novelist and Whitbread Prize-winning author of the definitive Orwell: The Life and its highly acclaimed sequel The New Life, and Masha Karp, Orwell scholar, former Russian features editor at the BBC World Service and author of George Orwell and Russia, join the Slightly Foxed team at the kitchen table in Hoxton Square to take a fresh and deeply personal look at the life and work of George Orwell. The man who wrote Animal Farm and Nineteen Eighty-Four defies categorization. In this quarter's literary podcast David and Masha sift through newly discovered stashes of letters written by Orwell in the 1930s, and share personal recollections from his adopted son Richard and other living members of his inner circle to tease out fact from fiction and explore the legacy of Orwell's life and work. We start with the chance discovery by a Bonham's auctioneer of nineteen letters from Orwell to a girlfriend, found in a tatty old handbag on the floor of a mouse-ridden woodshed (thrillingly packaged in a nondescript envelope labelled ‘Burn after my death'). Then we're off on a journey through the many-faceted romantic, literary, social and political aspects of Orwell's short life, from the years when he was flitting between jobs and relationships in the small coastal town of Southwold and living down and out in Paris, to his death from tuberculosis in 1950 via his life-altering experience in Spain as a Republican volunteer against Franco. David and Masha draw us deep into Orwell's world – a place of gangsters with gramophones, banned books, vanishing documents, encounters with KGB spies and yet more old girlfriends appearing out of the shadows with revelatory letters – and discuss the long reach of his influence on contemporary literature and political thinking.

The first time I ever heard about Benjamin Solomon Carson Sr, I was just a kid. I recall watching a movie of his; "Gifted Hands", where I saw this young kid who didn't appear so promising, yet became the first neurosurgeon to perform a successful separation of conjoined twins. I'm not sure I ever followed up the story, but I knew such a man lived, and I was reminded on how 'Faith' does move mountains. Fast forward, I purchased a book of his "Think Big" from a gift shop, and reading it I realized there is so much more that He has to teach me. Hi! My name is Edesiri and I'm a Book Reviewer.

Suffering is at the core of the Christian story, yet our experience of suffering as Christians creates all kinds of cognitive, spiritual, and emotional dissonance. Tim Challies, Dan's guest on this episode of Working with Dan Doriani, explicitly identifies this tension when he asks: "When we faced this time of tragedy, it was the time to ask: what is all this theology going to do for you? In your moment of need, are you going to turn away from it, or are you going to go deeper into it?" Not only did Tim go deeper into it, but he also channeled his grief through his work. The resulting product was his book Seasons of Sorrow. Listen as Dan and Tim discuss the death of Tim's son, the gospel hope behind the sorrow of that loss, and how work – particularly writing – was Tim's way of processing and publicly healing.

Suffering is at the core of the Christian story, yet our experience of suffering as Christians creates all kinds of cognitive, spiritual, and emotional dissonance. Tim Challies, Dan's guest on this episode of Working with Dan Doriani, explicitly identifies this tension when he asks: "When we faced this time of tragedy, it was the time to ask: what is all this theology going to do for you? In your moment of need, are you going to turn away from it, or are you going to go deeper into it?" Not only did Tim go deeper into it, but he also channeled his grief through his work. The resulting product was his book Seasons of Sorrow. Listen as Dan and Tim discuss the death of Tim's son, the gospel hope behind the sorrow of that loss, and how work – particularly writing – was Tim's way of processing and publicly healing.

Manifesting with Meg: Conversations with Extraordinary People
Annie is the Author of “Annie's Song: Dandelion, Dreams & Dogs,”, Book Reviewer, Author Interviewer, Teacher, Author Consultant, and Blogger at The Write Review & Co-Owner of World of the Write Review Book Club. Annie McDonnell is one of those rare people who always look for the rainbow in the storm's wake and uses her brokenness to help others by giving her heart to innumerable causes and being candid about what she's going through in the hope that her honesty will give solace to kindred spirits. Thirsty for love, Annie breaks herself open at points only to learn the hard lesson that sometimes the love she seeks won't ever come. Your heart will warm when you see her take on life. You will laugh, cry, and be moved. In this shimmering debut-a cross-genre blend of memoir, auto-fiction, magical realism, and poetry-Annie pours out her dreams, her loves, and her hopes along with her complicated grief compounded by betrayals, medical misdiagnoses, and innumerable losses that would break most people. Her determination to live a life of love, joy, and meaning despite her great suffering shines throughout the dark themes of many of her essays and poems. Annie, who is in the end stages of Stiff Person Syndrome and has several other rare diseases, writes with raw emotion about traumas from her childhood best friend's rape and murder to her own life-altering car accident at age 19 to her decades-long odyssey through a medical system where women's symptoms are frequently dismissed, misdiagnosed, and minimized. Annie's experiential memoir, for which she's provided QR codes linking to her favorite songs throughout, allows the reader to get a hint of what it's like living suspended between this earthly existence and the afterlife. This is her love song to trauma survivors, dog lovers, and love seekers. She lives each day and night knowing that her next breath could be her last and keeps her heart focused on heaven.

In today's episode of the “Helping Families Be Happy” podcast, host Dr. Carla Marie Manly, a practicing Clinical Psychologist, Wellness Advocate, and Author based in Sonoma County, California talks with guest Apurva Shrivasta about her life as a Book Reviewer. Episode Highlights 01:38 – Apurva is a UX Designer by profession, and works for a Credit Card Company. Other than that, she's also a book reviewer on Instagram. 03:13 – Apurva's professional work is very similar to what one does in their day-to-day life and in motherhood. 05:09 – Just being their (Children) biggest cheerleaders is all about parenting and all these intricacies of reaching the child, states Apurva. 07:17 – Apurva's children believe in the power of reading, and she's so fascinated to see this valuable trait naturally emerge in her family, highlights Apurva. 09:23 – Dr. Carla about Apurva, no matter the child's age when she's reading with them, she has created sort of a bubble or cocoon in her own world where the two of them are exploring whatever's in the book together. She's on an adventure in her own world. 11:10 - It does take a lot, not just cognitive energy but also emotional energy to tune into a child that way, says Dr. Carla. 13:25 – Dr. Carla enquires about how can toddlers learn problem-solving. 14:38 - It's very important to see how our kids react to certain things, and how do they carry themselves with confidence because that's important, says Apurva. 16:49 – Apurva highlights that just being in that moment present with them and not thinking about anything else and giving that undivided attention is important. 18:10 - Just being there with the kids is the most important thing without the intervention of technology, says Apurva. 20:34 - Kids have a brain where they can wander. So, why not be a model for them to display what the world is like and how it is so beautiful, states Apurva. 22:00 – Apurva shares her opinion on which book is better in certain age ranges. 23:20 – Apurva wrote a book which is, about how does a child's brain works? 25:00 – They do like a lot of Montessori education for both her daughters. Three Key Points Apurva highlights - reading in itself creates that bonding and it's really important. We can really like read aloud or let them (Children) read on their own if they are a little elder, but when we're reading with them, we're creating our own world. It's significantly benefitted our child's brain and ours as well and we can see that wire but then it goes from our child to our brain and then naturally it prepares them for their academic success. Apurva says - reading is one way where we express our affection and gratitude. We're given the opportunity that we can read it to them. It's like we should be really grateful for that and keep developing that habit little by little, even if it is like five minutes, 10 minutes. She thinks it's more than enough and when we see that smile on their face when we're together and not busy in our phones or doing other things and ignoring them, it's blissful. Apurva shares what makes a really great children's book - first the story the characters that we bring in, what is the story depicting and also the ups and down. There's not a story that wouldn't have a down and then how do they shine up and brings out the moral out of that. So, all those milestones are really important in a story. Tweetable Quotes “Being the child's advocate or cheerleader, is really important.” – Dr. Carla Marie Manly “The more books, the better it is.” – Apurva Shrivasta “You are creating your own world when you're reading with a child.” - Apurva Shrivasta “You can get creative with reading.” - Apurva Shrivasta “It is joyful, but sometimes it is tiring.” - Apurva Shrivasta “5 to 10 minutes of reading can make a difference in a child's life.” - Apurva Shrivasta “Integrate practical life along with that. I think that's really important.” - Apurva Shrivasta “Empathy and compassion are a theme that we really put more emphasis on.” - Apurva Shrivasta “We also encourage a lot of unstructured day time too.” - Apurva Shrivasta “That bond between your children and yourself, you wouldn't even know how far along that can go.” - Apurva Shrivasta “A child who grows up with tuned parents, generally have really good self-confidence, high self-esteem.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly “Just imagine, there is no fear in imagining things.” - Apurva Shrivasta “What a strong power to have the gift of imagination and to pass that on to your children.” - Dr. Carla Marie Manly Resources Mentioned Helping Families be Happy Podcast Apple Dr. Carla Marie Manly Website LinkedIn Twitter Instagram Podcast Editing

But my mother, to this day, will tell you that they would put me in a crib at six-months-old with a stack of books so they could sleep late, and they could hear me turning the pages. So I like to think of myself as a prodigy…I'm sure this story is true.” - Connie Ogle. Mitchell and Connie discuss many of their most memorable books of 2019, and The Miami Herald “Readers With Attitude” Facebook page that Connie founded. Recorded at Books and Books in Coral Gables.

Writers need readers and one way to find readers is through book reviews. With over 800 romance book reviews under her belt Helen Sibbritt knows a thing or two about what makes a good book and it would be pertinent for the writers amongst us to listen to what she has to say. She's what's known as an Influencer and she always has a review list she's working her way through. How do we get onto Sibbritt's list? Blurbs matter, as do professional covers, and testimonials. Sibbritt often turns to Goodreads and recommendations to find her next good book to read. She enjoys long lunches with fellow readers – Romance Reader Lunches – and they share recommendations. Word of mouth is king, or should I say queen? The Australian Romance Readers Association has state chapters and the groups are influential amongst readers. You can find Helen on Facebook or Twitter sharing her recommendations (I did), or enjoying a long lunch somewhere…you never know, it might be your book she’s recommending next.
