ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Bride: "I'd be Alpha." Hey, ACOFAE aren't prudes. You've probably been thinking that recently, but Laura Marie and Jessica Marie promise that they are not, and Bride will prove it! Misery is a vampire in a world where humans, werewolves, and vampires have carved out a truce by way of using collateral— children— to guarantee peace. When Misery's father comes to her and tells her that she will be the bride in a marriage to broker peace between the vampires and the werewolves, what follows is an unlearning of assumptions and stereotypes on both sides. Filled with all the best tropes and partnered with characters that have major chemistry, Bride is a delight from start to finish. "Not knot, but not not knot."

This is part 2 of this week's episode. In this episode of Book Talk for BookTok, we dive into Chapters 27–34 of Crown of Midnight by Sarah J. Maas. With 13 years of combined academic training, we explore how metaphors, foreshadowing, symbolism, plot devices, and imagery reveal the devastating turning point in Celaena Sardothien's journey. This section delivers some of the most shocking moments in the series: Celaena's bloody rescue mission, Chaol's brutal capture, and the unthinkable loss of Nehemia that sends ripples across Erilea. From themes of power, grief, and identity to the fatal flaws in Celaena and Chaol's love story, we break down how Sarah J. Maas uses violent imagery, emotional misdirection, and tragic irony to shatter both her characters and readers. This week we ask:“If we think the fallout of Nehemia's death is not earned, then how would we change it?” Join us as we analyze: How SJM sets up joy as a harbinger of tragedy The symbolism of Celaena shedding weapons and what it means for her identity Why Chaol's loyalty becomes his fatal flaw The mask of Adarlan's Assassin and how trauma drives Celaena's rage The parallels between Sam's death, Nehemia's fate, and Celaena's breaking point How power dynamics and secrets destroy relationships Is this the moment that changes everything for Celaena, Chaol, and Dorian? And does the emotional weight of Nehemia's death feel truly earned? Perfect for fans searching for: Crown of Midnight analysis, Throne of Glass breakdown, Sarah J.

Thilo spricht in dieser Folge mit Coco Meurer – vielen bekannt als literaturensohn auf Social Media. Coco ist Autorin, Literaturvermittlerin und hat es geschafft, mit ihrer Liebe zu Büchern eine riesige Community auf TikTok und Instagram zu begeistern. Mit ihren Videos, Texten und Leseempfehlungen erreicht sie ein großes Publikum. Thilo und Coco sprechen über die Bücher des Sommers, ihre ganz persönlichen Lesegewohnheiten und darüber, wie sie als Buchhändlerin und Kind von Buchhändlern zum Lesen gekommen sind. Außerdem diskutieren sie, welche Bücher sie abgebrochen haben, was für sie keine „Sommerlektüre“ ist, und welche Titel sie besonders empfehlen. Dabei wird deutlich, wie unterschiedlich ihre Lesegeschmäcker sind. Es geht um gesellschaftliche und emotionale Wirkung von Literatur, Übersetzungen, die Rolle von Frauen im Buchhandel und den Reiz von Krimis und Romance als Urlaubslektüre. Ein Gespräch um die Kraft von Geschichten, um Literatur als Gegengewicht zu Schnelllebigkeit und Algorithmen – und darum, wie Bücher uns helfen können, die Welt (und uns selbst) besser zu verstehen.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Eurotrip: "King. Cooper." A movie that represents: a time, a place, a feeling, a moment is absolutely Eurotrip. Placed firmly alongside other raunchy comedies of its time, Eurotrip may have gone under the radar for some people but not ACOFAE. It's the summer after High School graduation and Scotty is happy with his girlfriend, Fiona, his best friend, Cooper, his plans to work with his dad all summer, and his German pen pal who is awesome and also a guy. Except that Fiona is cheating and dumps Scotty immediately after graduation and Cooper facilitates a trip for them to go to Berlin to meet the German penpal who IS NOT a guy. Scotty's German is schlecht. What follows are European shenanigans and lots of full frontal male nudity which is/was a welcome change of things. "Scotty doesn't know that's Matt Damon."

Send us a textEver wondered which vampire gives the best head in Carissa Broadbent's world? Or which sex scene made her blush while writing it at Starbucks surrounded by senior citizens? (Yup, that happened.)This week on Cocktails & Cliterature, we sip and strip with the crowned queen of romantasy herself to talk all things The Fallen and the Kiss of Dusk, the broody brilliance of Asar, and why Mische might just be the fiercest, most emotionally feral sunshine in the underworld.We dive into vampire lore, kink inspo, favorite dirty words, and what Carissa really thinks about “dick” vs “cock.” Spoiler alert: she's got opinions, and we're obsessed.

These books are infact BRICKS. Very good books. But you may want to buckle up because good grief do we have a lot to cover. Especially with ACOTAR 6 coming our way!!!

This is our second episode where we are picking books that "Booktok made me read" and Cat has chosen Sunrise on the Reaping by Suzanne Collins, the Hunger Games prequel book! It's been a booktok fan favourite and we've wanted to read it since it came out so perfect opportunity !

In this episode, the Creeps try Britte's favorite chip of all time: Herr's Old Bay Cheese Curls. If they ever get rid of these there will be nothing left for her to eat. Kelsey brought 7-Eleven's Limited Time flavor for summer, Seven Select Big Bite Hot Dog flavored wavy potato chips. Not sure we washed any of this down.Then, Kelsey has to briefly explain some of BookTok and Netflix's Trainwreck series to a not quite oblivious Matt. Because she's covering A Million Lives Book Festival - a first time supposed indie book festival that disastrously took place this year in Baltimore. The festival included barely any vendors, nearly no decoration, and a "ball" on par with others we've covered previously.Also, they talk about filled expectations, tongue twisting, old Patton Oswalt earworm bits, gas station food cravings, Marylander "crab" obsession, badge shattering, and playing God with snacks. Shoutout to DJ Steve.

Writer, mother, and reluctant socialite Asha Elias joins Cari to talk about reinvention, resilience, and the real story behind her rapid rise as a novelist. From launching Pink Glass Houses to celebrating the release of The Namaste Club, Asha opens up about writing, grief, raising two kids post-divorce, and how dating a younger man has taught her about love and softness in relationships. Asha has contributed to Cosmopolitan magazine and is a regular columnist for Miami New Times. She lives in Miami Beach. This conversation is honest, inspiring, hilarious, and packed with reminders that you can start over at any time — and do it loudly. This episode explores: Writing books faster than people have babies Reclaiming your voice after family childhood dysfunction Dating younger and being loved how you've always wanted Grieving a complicated relationship with her late mother Letting go of shame and the power of trying again If you're standing at the edge of reinvention, this one's your permission slip to leap.

The people are hungry for love! Recent data shows that every literary genre experienced a decline in book sales with the exception of romance. Today's romance genre is not what it once was—we've got queer stories being centered, high fantasy reigning, and a world of BookTok influencers driving sales. But despite the craze, romance still isn't always taken seriously. In this episode, we talk to Tinx, legendary content creator and author of the newly published steamy novel Hotter in the Hamptons, about the ideas behind her book, what she thinks about the romance novel craze, and why we need to give this genre its flowers.

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: A Far Better Thing: “2025 - it was the worst of times, it was the worst of times” When was the last time you picked up a one of the "classic" books for fun? Has it been a while? Was it required reading that you were tested on at the end? Keep those answers in mind as you join Laura Marie and Jessica Marie in discussing A Far Better Thing by H.G. Parry. A reimagining of A Tale of Two Cities, this story sees the reader encountering now only the classic characters like Sydney and Lucie but also fairies, goblins, and kings. Meeting your Changeling is something that is not done, but when Sydney meets not only his Changeling but his childhood loves as well, plots are revealed and past crimes must be paid for with blood. ACOFAE also touches on accessibility, required reading, retellings, and movies that borrow from the classics. "I don't know this man."

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
