Author and accomplished musician Nick Greenberg welcomes readers into the heart of Cincinnati, where pierogi slinging food truck chef Anton Cherny is about to make a series of bad decisions in the new book The Culinary Caper. When readers meet Anton, he is up to his eyeballs in debt and desperate to find a way out of his dire situation. Enter Ricky, Anton's old art school buddy, who has concocted a daring solution: art thievery. The plan is straightforward. While catering parties for members of the Cincinnati Reds and Bengals teams, who are unknowingly buying priceless works of previously pilfered art, Anton and Ricky swap out the paintings with forgeries, then return the originals to the insurance company for the generous reward money. Easy-peasy, until Anton discovers that his new girlfriend is the daughter of a ruthless Russian mob boss. Adding to his plateful of anxieties are the emotional and financial strains of supporting a son he's never met, fielding threats from a Tolstoy-quoting loan shark, and mounting tension with his food truck partner. Will Chef Anton have to face the reality that his goose is cooked? Or can he employ his culinary expertise to prevail over the multifaceted morass in which he finds himself? The Culinary Caper is part of a highly entertaining three-book series from Greenberg that blends equal measures of food, music, humor, crime and romance with eccentric characters and unlikely escapades.

En este programa en dos partes, nos sumergimos en el fenómeno que está conquistando librerías y redes sociales: el Romantasy, esa deliciosa mezcla de fantasía épica y romance ardiente. Qué lo diferencia de la fantasía young adult? Por qué arrasa en TikTok? Qué es BookTok y Bookstagram? Qué significa #Spicy? Qué buscan sus lector@s? Lo charlamos con humor, datos y nuestras propias experiencias como lectoras (y lector sorprendido...). Y en la segunda mitad del programa... entramos con spoilers a fondo en el final de Alas de Ónix, tercera parte de la saga Empíreo de Rebecca Yarros. Analizamos todo lo que pasó, lo que no entendimos, y lo que nos dejó temblando. ¿Dónde está Xxxxx? ¿Qué significa ese aaaaa? ¿Por qué XXXXX se borró la memoria? ✨ Hadas, dragones, embestidas, traumas y tensión sexual con alas. Esto es Romantasy. Y estamos completamente encantados!!!!! Presenta: Xevipanda Con la inestimable ayuda de: (seguidlas en IG) @desireedelgado (Desirée) @tintaymagia (Lola) Edita; Xevipanda con un par de canciones escritas por él y "tocadas" por SunoAI y un fondo LoFi del TFT, propiedad de Riot Games que no tiene copy :D La ilustración la hizo Dall-e sabiendo que estos modelos se entrenan usando dibujos de artistas reales y que si se puede siempre es mejor comisionar a uno de ellos.
This week, Marisha Lunde, Gare and I set out to talk about psychological thrillers, but veered into all kinds of other topics, including reality TV. The episode may feel a little disjointed at times, because a tornado touched down near my home and I lost power in the middle of the episode as well as a few other times. Otherwise, enjoy meeting Marisha Lunde and hearing about her journey on Bookstagram!

Banned Books Week (launched in 1982) is normally in September/October, but given the state of things, we thought it was a relevant topic. Buying physical copies of books, when you can, seems to be a smart thing to do. PEN estimates that book bans have doubled in the past year; here's where to fight that by sending a letter to state lawmakers. Some of our sources: Data from the ALA; Unite Against Book Bans; National Coalition Against Censorship; PEN America; Authors Against Book Bans Recommended in this episode: B.R.

Aside from devouring a great book, Britt enjoys spending time with her fiancé, Bryan, her pups, fitness, live music, spending time with friends and she's currently writing her first novel!

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Lucy Caldwell about contemporary Irish literature's vibrant yet complex landscape, her latest novel, These Days, and profound philosophical insights. Growing up in Belfast during the Troubles in a "mixed marriage" family—Protestant father, Catholic mother—Caldwell developed a unique perspective that informs her award-winning writing. Lucy describes writing during the pandemic and experiencing "a portal between worlds" as she researched the Blitz while living through COVID lockdowns. Lucy Caldwell was born in Belfast in 1981. She is the author of three previous novels, several stage plays and radio dramas, and three collections of short stories. She won the BBC National Short Story Award in 2021 for “All the People Were Mean and Bad.” Other awards include the Rooney Prize for Irish Literature, the George Devine Award, the Dylan Thomas Prize, and a Major Individual Artist Award from the Arts Council of Northern Ireland. She was elected a Fellow of the Royal Society of Literature in 2018, and in 2019, she was the editor of Being Various: New Irish Short Stories. In 2022, she was the recipient of the EM Forster Award from the American Academy of Arts & Letters for her body of work to date.Lucy CaldwellThese Days, Lucy CaldwellJan Carson, AuthorGlenn PatersonWendy Erskine, AuthorKerry Dougherty, AuthorSupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links
