Podcasts about Book talk

In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we sit down with bestselling author Stacey McEwan to dive into her latest romantasy release, A Forbidden Alchemy, a gripping tale of fate, rebellion, and devastating choices set against the backdrop of a brewing class war in Belavere City. We talk about what it was like for Stacey to leave behind The Glacian Trilogy and build a brand-new world from scratch, what inspired the moral complexities at the heart of Nina and Patrick's story, and how she crafted such emotionally grounded characters across different ages and circumstances. From the loss innocence, to the heart-wrenching betrayals and gasp-worthy twists (yes, we said fuck you in the most complimentary way), Stacey unpacks the themes of love, loyalty, destiny, and power that make A Forbidden Alchemy unforgettable. Whether you're new to Stacey McEwan's writing or a die-hard Glacian fan, this episode is for anyone who loves slow-burn romance, elemental magic, and morally gray characters wrestling with impossible choices. A Forbidden Alchemy is available now! Share your thoughts for a chance to be featured! Submit them at booktalkforbooktok.com for a future mini-episode or exclusive Patreon discussion.

Welcome to Book Talk for BookTok! In Episode 2 of our Crown of Midnight season, Jac and Amy analyze chapters 6–11 of Sarah J. Maas's second book in the Throne of Glass series. Celaena Sardothien navigates haunted hallways, political games, and romantic tension, but beneath it all lies a deeper struggle between fate, freedom, and identity. This is part 2 of this week's episode. This week, we ask:Which expectations placed on our characters are new, and which have carried over from the previous book? We unpack major literary themes and moments, including: – Mirror imagery and characters as reflections of each other – Fate vs. free will, especially for Celaena, Dorian, and Nehemia – The weaponization of sex and gender roles – Ownership, isolation, and who really “knows” Celaena From Mort the talking skull to Celaena's deadly dinner with Archer Finn, this section reveals how destiny and denial shape the heroine's next steps. As always, we apply two academic literary lenses to guide our analysis: – Jac uses a feminist lens to explore power, perception, and performance – Amy uses a Marxist lens to analyze rebellion, control, and structural pressure Spoilers ahead for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire.

In the years following the turmoil of the Arab Spring, Qatar and the United Arab Emirates jockeyed for power, becoming significant forces—and rivals—in regional politics. In her recent book published by Lynne Rienner, Dr. Emma Soubrier, director of the PRISME initiative, unpacks the nuts and bolts of these two small states' rise to prominence, exploring how their diverging foreign and security policies have enabled both of them to become power players in the Middle East and beyond. On 24 June, Soubrier will join MEI for a virtual talk to share her research findings and discuss the potential trajectory of Qatari and Emirati foreign policies.

Welcome to Book Talk for BookTok! Best friends Jac and Amy return to break down Crown of Midnight, the second book in Sarah J. Maas's Throne of Glass series. In this premiere episode, we dive into chapters 1–5, where Celaena Sardothien is no longer just Adarlan's most feared assassin; she's the King's Champion, but not in the way everyone thinks. This is part 2 of this week's episode. Through our signature academic literary analysis (backed by our 13 years of combined literary training), we explore themes of misinformation, identity, shifting power dynamics, and imaginary lines between people, personas, and political loyalties. Spoilers ahead for Throne of Glass, Crown of Midnight, and Heir of Fire. This season, we're asking: Has Crown of Midnight truly prepared Celaena for her future as Aelin Galathynius? This episode starts with that question and more: – How are Celaena, Dorian, and Chaol navigating their changing relationships? – What role does dissociation play in the early narration? – And why is Celaena's fashion sense so symbolically important? We apply a feminist lens (Jac) and a Marxist lens (Amy) to unpack character arcs, foreshadowing, and major literary breadcrumbs you may have missed. If you love:

หนังสือ Healthy No Matter What: How Humans Are Hardwired to Adapt ของ Alex Jadad and Tamen Jadad-Garcia - คำว่ามีสุขภาพกายและใจที่ดี ในแบบฉบับของแต่ละคนนั้นแตกต่างจากมาตรฐานทั่วไป - มันไม่ใช่ว่าเราจะไม่ยอมเผชิญหน้ากับความเป็นจริง แต่ให้เรายอมรับสิ่งที่ปรากฏมากยิ่งขึ้น - ใส่ใจร่างกายและจิตใจของตัวเองอยู่เนือง ๆ มันก็จึงเป็นการค้นหาคำตอบของชีวิตว่า อะไรจึงเรียกว่าดีสำหรับเรา - คนส่วนใหญ่อยากจะมีชีวิตที่ดี แต่ถ้าเราไม่รู้ว่าสิ่งใดที่กำหนดนิยามว่าดีจริง ๆ เราจะไม่รู้ว่าเราควรจะดูแล รักษา หรือว่าเยียวยาตรงไหนบ้าง - เมื่อร่างกายเราไม่ไหวเราก็ต้องไปหาหมอกาย แต่ถ้าใจเราไม่ไหวแล้วก็ต้องไปหาหมอใจ อย่ากลัวที่จะไปพบแพทย์ เพราะแพทย์เป็นปัจจัยของทางออกที่ดี

How to find hope in these times? I spoke with political scientist Loren Goldman about the principle of political hope: why we should have hope, how to have hope in dark times, and how political hope differs from naïve optimism, faith in progress, or passive reliance on a hidden logic that will save us in the end. Goldman, who is Associate Professor of Political Science at the University of Pennsylvania, is the author of The Principle of Political Hope (Oxford University Press, 2023), where he reveals hope to be an indispensable aspect of much continental and American political thought, especially in the works of Immanuel Kant, John Dewey, Charles Sanders Peirce, William James, Ernst Bloch, Richard Rorty, and others. Our conversation on Goldman's study of hope ends with three concrete lessons to counter hopelessness, cynicism, and despair. Learn more about your ad choices.
