In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we sit down with bestselling romantasy author Devney Perry to explore the twists, turns, and emotional layers of her latest novel, Shield of Sparrows. We unpack: The origin of the story's central secrets and the moment that had Devney laughing maniacally as she wrote The unique development process behind this high-stakes fantasy, from royal family dynamics to layered worldbuilding Writing morally complex characters, including a male main character (MMC) whose presence shapes the heroine's journey without ever giving us his POV Why there are no "evil" parents in this romantasy and what it means to survive the choices of those who raised us The maternal bonds that show up in unexpected places, and what Odessa's empathy says about her strength and vulnerability Female friendship, betrayal, and the question of whether empathy is a fatal flaw or a quiet superpower Devney also gives us insight into where Odessa, Zavier, and Ransom might be headed next, and how their complicated titles evolve into earned identities. Whether you're a long-time fan of Devney Perry or a romantasy reader looking for stories with emotional depth, powerful heroines, and found-family themes, this conversation dives into everything that makes Shield of Sparrows soar.

Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Paddy Screech, a co-owner of Word on the Water. Paddy shares the story of London's famous floating bookshop, housed in a 1920s Dutch barge moored along Regent's Canal in King's Cross, London. Paddy takes us from his early days as a literature-loving boy in an agricultural school to his unlikely friendship with a "trampy-looking man with a fabulous mad collie cross dog" that would change his life forever. When these two bibliophiles partnered with a French boat owner, they created something extraordinary—a floating bookshop that would navigate London's canals, facing bureaucratic battles and financial uncertainty before becoming a cultural institution.Far from witnessing decline, Word on the Water reveals a renaissance in independent bookselling, especially among younger readers seeking authentic connections in our digital world. Paddy shares fascinating insights about curating a tiny space that often sells as many books as major chains, the profound impact of the pandemic on reading habits, and how a floating bookshop became a vital community hub in an often isolating urban landscape.The conversation explores the legacy of co-founder Jonathan Privett, whose daughter now continues his meticulous curation philosophy, shaped by his own extraordinary life experiences. You'll hear about their transition from secondhand to new books, life aboard a narrowboat, and the unexpected political intervention that saved them from closure.This episode offers both inspiration and practical wisdom about building a community around literature. Follow us on social media, subscribe wherever you listen, and share this episode with fellow bibliophiles who believe in the transformative power of books.Word on the WaterThe Little Prince,  Antoine De Saint ExupéryWind, Sand And Stars, Antoine De Saint ExupérySupport the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links

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.

Cornelia Funke ist eine der erfolgreichsten Kinder- und Jugendbuchautorinnen der Welt. Als Schülerin war ich fasziniert von Geschichten wie dem "Herrn der Diebe" oder "Tintenherz" und musste unbedingt auch so eine Bande haben wie "Die wilden Hühner". Eine Zeitlang wollte ich sogar auch Kinderbuchautorin werden, einfach, weil ich Cornelia so toll fand. Dann wurde es doch der Journalismus, aber genau der hat‘s möglich gemacht, dass ich mein Vorbild von früher jetzt tatsächlich einmal treffen durfte. Cornelia wohnt heute in der Toskana. In der Nähe von Volterra betreibt sie zwei Höfe: Auf einem wohnt und arbeitet sie selbst; einen weiteren - Mulinaccio - baut sie gerade aus, um dort Künstlerinnen, Naturschützer, Handwerkerinnen und Forschende zu beherbergen. Dort saßen wir für dieses Interview in der toskanischen Hitze, um uns herum wuselten ihre beiden Hunde und die aktuellen Stipendiatinnen. Wir haben darüber gesprochen, was für einen Einfluss solche Orte - oder generell, wo man lebt - auf den eigenen Charakter, auf die komplette Biografie haben können. Wie man erkennt, dass es Zeit ist, den Ort zu wechseln - und wie hoch der Preis dafür ist. Außerdem wollte ich unbedingt wissen, wie Cornelia es geschafft hat, sich einen kindlichen Blick auf die Welt zu bewahren. Den haben die meisten von uns als Erwachsene ja verloren, und das finde ich richtig schade. Es ging ums Sprachen Lernen, Cornelias scharfe Kritik am deutschen Schulsystem und ein Buch, das sie vielleicht bald mit Luisa Neubauer schreibt. Also, hier kommt ‘ne gute Stunde mit Cornelia Funke. ►►► Deutschland3000 Instagram: @deutschland3000 https://www.instagram.com/deutschland3000 Cornelia Funke https://corneliafunke.com/de/ Eva Schulz Instagram: @evaschulz https://www.instagram.com/evaschulz/ ►►► Den Link zu unserer Deutschland3000-Umfrage findest du hier: https://umfrage-ndr.limequery.com/852264?lang=de-informal Cornelias Bücherliste: Robert McFarlane: Is a River Alive?

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.

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:

There are thirsty thirsty people on every single inch of social media but the thirst is unquenchable over on TikTok. If you have accidentally dropped into a BookTok algorithm or SmutTok, you know what we are talking about. This week, Vida and Anthula talk about an account they have watched spring from nothing into the dirtiest, mightiest oak on the block. The following account grows by leaps and bounds every single day and what is this mystery account doing? They are talking dirty to women in a way that is making those internet panties drop like a lead balloon. Curious? Lay back, turn us on, and let's have a dirty conversation.Send us a text

Going once, going twice, sold... unfortunately! This week, Emily and V look at an event requested back while it was actually happening: the 2023 fanbinding drama that nearly ended Dramione- and Reylo's fanbinding communities on Instagram. Mostly, though, it's an episode about people coming into fannish spaces without an interest in fannish community, and people who view fanfiction as "content" to be consumed rather than art to be engaged with or affection bids meant to be answered. We're probably preaching entirely to the choir if you love fandom enough to be listening to a fandom history podcast, but still.
