Hudson Williams’ paparazzi blow-up, Zendaya’s private jet dress and another AI gaffe. Hi listeners! A reminder that you can receive a few extra Bookmarked recommendations on our Substack, plus you can watch this episode on YouTube. Lots of pop culture popcorn this episode, so grab your coffee/ tea and settle in. Heated Rivalry actor Hudson Williams has been accosted by Parisian paparazzi and is fed up. Is this warranted or is it one standard for celebrity women versus men? We reference this post by creator Susan Hyatt. This past week, Marie Claire Australia was called out on the global stage (including on Saint Hoax) for an AI gaffe. We reference a report on it via Crikey's daily news column The Snoop, and ask if, rather than blaming the writer, it's a symptom of a systemic rot in the media industry worldwide. The Odyssey by Christopher Nolan is out now, and Zendaya has been STUNNING on red carpets during its press tour. One showstopping angel-inspired dress we reference is by French label Matières Fécales (aka Fecal Matter). Another was by Schiaparelli and had to be personally private jetted from Paris to London ahead of the premiere. We reference the original video by fashion creator ly.as. In Bookmarked, Jas enjoyed First Light, the debut feature from Filipino-Australian James J. Robinson. You can see it in select cinemas now. Maggie recommends The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa, translated by Stephen Snyder. Thank you for listening! Jas & Mags xo See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

The Olympics' cheating scandal, Zayn Malik's Call Her Daddy revelation and what is the tofu theory? BIG NEWS! You can now WATCH this episode. We're officially on YouTube! Head here.Bad Bunny has won the MAGA culture war this month thanks to his NFL Super Bowl halftime performance. We break down a little of the discourse around it, as well as the impact of the culture around ‘being first' online. The Winter Olympics have kicked off in Italy, and not without its share of eyebrow-raising stories. We chat about a couple, including the Norwegian biathlete Sturla Holm Laegreid and his declaration of love on the world stage. During an interview on Alex Cooper's Call Her Daddy podcast, Zayn Malik has revealed he was never “in love” with his ex-girlfriend Gigi Hadid, who he dated for six years, and who is the mother of his child. In other pop culture bites, Britney Spears has sold her music catalogue and Amelia Dimoldenberg from Chicken Shop Date is directing (and starring) in her very own rom-com. An episode of Library Takes (like Subway Takes but at London School of Economics and Political Science) has picked up traction online after one interviewee noted that men's views on tofu directly reflect their views on women. Is this too deep or does it have some truth to it? In recommendation, Maggie enjoyed the podcast, The Paradox of Petty Problems: Why Small Problems Can Snowball and Jas shared a documentary on Australian writer Charmian Clift titled Life Burns High, which is available on SBS. EDITOR'S NOTE: Jas references John Hughes as Sylvia Plath's husband during Bookmarked. She meant to say Ted Hughes, the writer. Not the 1980s film director. (lol) Thanks for being here

Join us as Ocean House owner and award-winning author Deborah Goodrich Royce moderates a conversation with New York Times Bestselling Author Sarah McCoy. About the Author: SARAH McCOY is the New York Times, USA Today, and international bestselling author of the novels Whatever Happened to Lori Lovely?, Mustique Island, Marilla of Green Gables, The Mapmaker's Children, The Baker's Daughter, a 2012 Goodreads Choice Award Best Historical Fiction nominee, the novella “The Branch of Hazel” in Grand Central, The Time It Snowed in Puerto Rico, and Le souffle des feuilles et des promesses (Pride and Providence). Her work has been featured in Newsweek, Real Simple, The Millions, Literary Hub, Writer's Digest, Huffington Post, Read It Forward, Writer Unboxed, and other publications. She hosted the NPR WSNC Radio monthly program “Bookmarked with Sarah McCoy” and served as a Board Member for the literary nonprofit Bookmarks. Sarah taught English writing at Old Dominion University and at the University of Texas at El Paso. She lives with her husband, Dr. Brian Waterman, their dog Gilbert, and cat Tularosa in Winston-Salem, North Carolina. About The Book: In 1969, twenty-three-year-old starlet Lori Lovely, the apple of Hollywood's eye, shocks the world by ditching a promising film career to take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience as a Benedictine nun. Gossip columnists and scandal sheets can't get enough of the story. Why would such a beautiful girl take the veil? Was she hiding from someone? Did it have anything to do with her costar, heartthrob singer Lucas Wesley? In 1990, Lu Tibbott is under the gun to complete her senior thesis in modern American history. Instead of spending weeks in dusty archives, Lu decides to dig into a true twentieth-century mystery and write about her aunt Lori, now the Mother Abbess at a cloistered convent in rural New England. Biographers, journalists, and media types have long speculated about her aunt Lori's sudden departure from Hollywood. Mother Lori, however, has refused all requests for interviews—until Lu arrives at the abbey with a tape recorder in hand. To her delight, Mother Lori announces she's finally ready to talk…but only if Lu is truly ready to listen. Lu is shocked to discover that the story of Lori Lovely's rise in Hollywood was far more tumultuous than she'd ever expected, a fairy tale twisting with ambition, unforeseen alliances, forbidden love, and secrets. What began as a history thesis now threatens to upend all their lives with its unexpected truths, especially as the media gets wind of Lu's project and begins to ask… Whatever happened to Lori Lovely? Please find out more about Sarah McCoy and her book at sarahmccoy.com. For details on Deborah Goodrich Royce and the Ocean House Author Series, visit deborahgoodrichroyce.com  

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore by debut author Emily Krempholtz, a warm, whimsical cozy fantasy romance about second chances, self-forgiveness, and the transformative power of community.

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) dive into Albert Camus' Exile and the Kingdom, a collection of six vivid, unsettling, and deeply human short stories exploring what it means to be isolated yet yearning for connection. Written in 1957 against the backdrop of the Algerian War, these stories capture individuals at decisive moments—moments of moral conflict, longing, rebellion, and revelation.We explore Camus' legacy as a French-Algerian writer, Resistance journalist, and Nobel laureate whose ideas on the Absurd, Revolt, and moral responsibility shaped the intellectual landscape of the 20th century. Phil and Marisa walk through each story—from Janine's desert epiphany to the silent cask-workers, the tortured missionary, the conflicted schoolteacher, and the weary artist—unpacking the symbols, emotional arcs, and philosophical questions that define Camus' work.We discuss the recurring themes of exile, identity, freedom, guilt, spiritual hunger, and the longing for a “kingdom” where meaning and belonging finally converge. Plus, we compare our favorite stories, reflect on what resonated most personally, and consider why Camus' writing still feels urgent in today's fractured world.Up next in our Bookmarked series:-Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)-The Phantom Tollbooth - Norton Juster (Jan 2026) -Marisa pick (Feb 2026)-The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)-Marisa pick (Apr 2026)-How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) do a bonus Bookmarked episode on George Orwell's Animal Farm—a quick-hit companion to our 1984 episode. We share overall reactions (Marisa read it right after 1984; Phil revisited it for the first time since high school) and dig into the big stuff: how a “fairy story” becomes a razor-sharp satire of revolutions gone sideways, why language manipulation (Squealer!) matters, the seduction of “ends justify the means,” and what “some animals are more equal than others” says about power today. We connect key moments—Boxer's tragedy, the windmill grind, Napoleon's myth-making—to modern propaganda, disinformation, and personality cults, then compare its bite to 1984's. It's not a deep dive—more of a guided reaction with themes and takeaways—and we'd love your thoughts: What parallels do you see now? Drop a comment and join the convo.

Phil Svitek and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Paulo Coelho's Brida, a spiritual coming-of-age novel that blends witchcraft, love, and the search for destiny. We trace Coelho's remarkable journey—from rebellious lyricist and political prisoner to world-renowned author of The Alchemist—and how his fascination with faith, mysticism, and personal legend shaped Brida's twin paths of the Sun (reason, discipline) and Moon (intuition, ritual). We explore the novel's central relationships—Brida, Magus, Wicca, and Lorens—and what they reveal about soulmates, free will, and spiritual growth. Along the way, we discuss memorable quotes, recurring symbols, and whether Brida's ultimate choice reflects courage or denial.Up next in our Bookmarked series:Exile and the Kingdom – Albert Camus (Nov 2025)Violet Thistlewaite Is Not a Villain Anymore – Emily Krempholtz (Dec 2025)Marisa pick (Jan 2026)Marisa pick (Feb 2026)The Lost Bookshop – Evie Woods (Mar 2026)Marisa pick (Apr 2026)How to Solve Your Own Murder – Kristen Perrin (May 2026)

Phil and Marisa Serafini (@serafinitv) unpack Foer's ambitious 2005 novel about nine-year-old Oskar Schell, a mysterious key, and a city learning to live with grief after 9/11. We dig into Foer's background and why he felt compelled to write about 9/11), the book's inventive form (child narrator, epistolary letters, visual experiments, and that unforgettable flip-book ending), and the way a simple quest opens doors to connection across New York—Mr. Black, Abby, and the grandparents' parallel love story.

Author Colette Shade argues the socio-cultural shifts ushered in during the early 2000s remain significant today in her debut book, “Y2K: How the 2000s Became Everything (Essays on the Future That Never Was.)” It's our March selection for Bookmarked: the “Under the Radar” book club.

Van Pelt spoke with Ross about how she developed her characters, some based on true life and others based on people (and marine life) watching at the Georgia Aquarium, and she shared her excitement about the upcoming film adaptation. An Evening with Shelby Van Pelt is Mar 11, 2025 at the Forsyth Conference Center. The event is ticketed and currently full; however, there are a plethora of events related to the book taking place at all the Forsyth County Public Library branches.
