Banned Books Conversations: Where Radical Readers Discuss Prohibited Prose - join Tonya Todd and her guests as they delve into banned books! Banned books are works that have been removed from a library shelf or school curriculum. Over the course of Banned Books Week, this series will cover seven different books, the reasons they were banned, and the value in reading them. Host: Tonya Todd (@MsTonyaTodd & ⁠⁠http://mstonyatodd.com⁠⁠) Video producer: JP ButlerAudio producer: Ria Carrogan Graphics: Mike Burton Join Tonya & her guests discussing This One Summer By Jillian & Mariko Tamaki. Guests Panelists: Veronica Klash - Primarily short format writer, anything from flash fiction to personal essays, articles, etc. Associate editor for Okay Donkey. Find her work at Veronicaklash.com. She's @veronicaklash on social media. Brenna Thummler - Author of the Sheets Series from Only Press. Graphic Novelist.Find her at Brennathummler.com, social media @brennathummler AR Farina/Tony Farina - Podcaster, writer, and teacher. Find him at ARFarina.com. The second book in the Austen Chronicles series out in October, 2023. Original work (his and others) fortnightly on the podcast Sonic Salon. SummaryTonya led a discussion on banned books with guests Brenna Thummler, Veronica Klash, and Tony Farina. They explored the importance of reading banned books, the fear often underlying attempts to ban them, and the need for ongoing conversations about these issues. The book under discussion was "This One Summer" by Mariko and Jillian Tamaki. The group also discussed the accessibility of books in schools and libraries and the impact of banning books on readers. Brenna expressed concern about parents restricting their children's access to books, suggesting a warning system to inform parents about book content. Veronica, Tonya, Brenna, and A.R. discussed the influence of literature on children and the concept of the "slippery slope" in relation to book banning. The discussion ended with Tonya noting a pattern in the themes that get books banned, prompting reflection on societal progress. The group also discussed the shifting power structures in society and the resistance to progress. They touched on the importance of reading books that may be considered offensive, as they offer the opportunity for empathy and understanding. The conversation also delved into the challenges of writing about mental health in literature and the responsibility of writers to educate themselves to avoid unintentionally using offensive statements. Veronica and Tonya emphasized the importance of anti-racist practices, including actively doing the work to avoid offense, rather than relying solely on intentions. "This One Summer", a graphic novel published in 2014 is a coming-of-age story, won several prestigious awards including an Eisner award and an Ignatz award. Brenna first discovered it in a thrift store in 2015 and was drawn to it due to its beautiful illustrations. The book influenced her to work on her first graphic novel, "Anne of Green Gables.” A.R. was one of the first to receive an advance reader copy (ARC) of "This One Summer" from Net Galley, and after reading it, he's been a fan ever since. Veronica was also attracted to the graphic novel format, as it was a type of literature she enjoyed in her childhood.

Comics in Motion is proud to partner with Lenovations Press! Check out their high quality independent comics here. This Week, Tony is joined by writer, artist, creator and all around talented person, Brenna Thummler to talk about her forthcoming book Delicates, a sequel to the spectacular, best selling book Ghosts. Follow her on Twitter and Instagram. SYNOPSIS of Delicates Marjorie Glatt's life hasn't been the same ever since she discovered a group of ghosts hiding in her family's laundromat. Wendell, who died young and now must wander the earth as a ghost with nothing more than a sheet for a body, soon became one of Marjorie's only friends. But when Marjorie finally gets accepted by the popular kids at school, she begins to worry that if anyone learns about her secret ghost friends, she'll be labeled as a freak who sees dead people. With Marjorie's insistence on keeping Wendell's ghost identity a secret from her new friends, Wendell begins to feel even more invisible than he already is. Eliza Duncan feels invisible, too. She's an avid photographer, and her zealous interest in finding and photographing ghosts gets her labeled as different by all the other kids in school. Constantly on the outside, Eliza begins to feel like a ghost herself. Marjorie must soon come to terms with the price she pays to be accepted by the popular kids. Is it worth losing her friend Wendell? Is she partially to blame for the bullying Eliza endures? Following the events of Sheets, Brenna Thummler's second original graphic novel, Delicates, tells a powerful story about what it means to fit in, and those who are left on the outside. It shows what it's like to feel invisible, and the importance of feeling seen. Above all, it is a story of asking for help when all seems dark, and bringing light to those who need it most. https://www.brennathummler.com/ If you want to talk with Tony about comics or to suggest any future shows, please connect with him on Twitter @Tricycleboombox.

Amanda and Jenn give more holiday gift recommendations in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by the Book Riot Read Harder Journal and our True Story giveaway. Feedback Bless Me, Ultima by Rudolfo Anaya Land of Burning Heat by Judith van Gieson Like Water for Chocolate by Laura Esquivel Euphoria by Lily King   Questions 1. I am looking for a book to put me in a better mood. This Christmas will mark the one year anniversary of my sisters death, the doctors don’t expect my dad to make it to New Years, and I told a boy I loved him only to have him totally ghost on me. Also I bought a house and my best friend roommate is a great friend and a less great roommate. I read all the time. But I am stumped on what might cheer me up. I’m a pretty dedicated listener to all the book riot podcasts so if you recommend already and I thought I’d like it, I’ve probably already read it (ie Queen of the Night/ Sorcerer to the Crown). I like a lot of things, but mostly fantasy/ magical realism. Really into the American And French Revolution. (I already have Little on my TBR) Favorite authors include Neil Gaiman, Alice Hoffman, nk jemisin, Kelly Link and Cathryn Valente. Also true crime. Sci fi if it’s in the vein of Becky Chambers and Douglas Adams. I am obsessed with the Night Circus. I love Buffy and doctor who and game of thrones. Nothing with sad old people, surprise brain cancer (ie Storied life of AJ Fikry) or quirky beta males. I read ya, not so much romance, but who even knows anymore! --Jenny   2. I need a new author. A few of my favorite books include Ocean at the End of the Lane, Museum of Extraordinary Things, and Remarkable Creatures. I like unusual history or science, and interesting characters. Nothing too romance-y, or too magical. --Stefanie   3. Hello! I’m a prolific reader of mysteries, cozies, thrillers, true crime, and more, but the genre I want to explore more is graphic novels. I’m currently reading Sheets by Brenna Thummler, and I’m enjoying it a lot. I've read Fun Home, Maus, Persepolis, and Embroideries. I’m not into superheroes or any manga, and I’m open to some YA but prefer adult stories. I’d love a response before Christmas if possible, so I know what books to tell my family I want. Thank you! --Becky   4. Hey Amanda and Jenn, this is Lizzy from Munich. I am writing this email to surprise a friend who read „All the birds singing“ from Evie Wylde and is dealing with withdrawal symptoms ever since – as you have recommended it before, I am sure you can relate :) I read the book as well as per her recommendation and I think what she liked about it particularly was the intricate prose, the heartbreaking plot itself, but most of all the intelligent way the story is woven – she generally loves novels with a structure the intertwines past and present. Other favorites of hers are the Goldfinch, A little life, When women were birds and she also really likes Haruki Murakami. Can you recommend something that will fill the hole in her heart? This will be the perfect Christmas gift for this year. Thank you so much in advance :) Keep up the good work and warmest greetings from Germany, --Lizzy   5. This year for Christmas I'm trying to buy a book for each family member. But am stuck on my FIL! Last year he requested Brene Brown's 'rising strong' book. And on his shelf is Strengths Finder 2.0. He reads a lot of 'The Economist' and enjoys non fiction most. But I am so stuck on what to get him. Any recommendations? --Tory   6. Hi guys! Thank you for all you do!! One the last books I need for this year's Book Riot Read Harder challenge is a romance by a person of color. My trouble is that I am so, so tired of many common romance tropes. I understand why they're popular, but I'm just burned out on them. This includes love triangles, mysterious and/or brooding men, and characters who hate each other but then fall in love. I'd really love one where the leads are just two competent people living their lives and facing down the plot, and their relationship starts as friends or colleagues before it becomes romantic. I also prefer sci-fi and fantasy, which really narrows the field. Help! --Tired of the Tropes   7. Hi Jenn and Amanda, If possible, could I get a rec by mid-December, so I can buy this book as a Christmas present? My brother just rediscovered reading and has been flying through a bunch of political nonfiction (scary times). He just visited the Imperial War Rooms and Bunker in London and lovedddddd everything about the museum, so I want to get him a book on Churchill. There are so many biographies on Churchill that I didn't really know where to start, but I've heard Amanda talk about a few Churchill books before (love the podcast; I've listened to every episode and you've introduced me--and my TBR--to so many good books) so I thought you might have some ideas. I'm not looking for a book written by Churchill, but maybe a biography of him or a historical book about the war years or his general service in the British government? Thanks so much for your help! And from a former bookseller who knows how hard it is to find the books people are looking for, can I just say that you ladies are doing the Lord's work?

Today we take on the beautiful and cozy 'Sheets' by Brenna Thummler. Not every aspect of the book works for us though, so we talk about what we loved, what we didn't and what we think might help those issues.

Krystal has been reading, writing about, and teaching children's and YA comics for a number of years and has a particular interest in gender and comics studies. In 2017, Krystal's essay “Gothic Excess and the Body in Vera Brosgol's Anya's Ghost” appeared in Gwen's co-edited volume (with Michelle Ann Abate), Graphic Novels for Children and Young Adults, and she has another comics-related essay, “Comics Grammar in Neil Gaiman and Dave McKean's Picture Book Collaborations” that is forthcoming in The Artistry of Neil Gaiman: Finding Light in the Shadows. Regular listeners to the Young Readers show will already know Krystal from her spot as a panelist last summer on a special roundtable that Gwen and Paul Lai hosted on the future of children's and YA comics. Before they begin discussing the books for this month's show, Gwen and Krystal mention the wonderful contributions of Paul Lai, who has recently graduated with his doctorate from the School of Education in Language, Literacy, and Culture at the University of California, Berkeley, and who has begun a new position as Director of UC Berkeley's prestigious BE3 program, which stands for Berkeley Educators for Equity and Excellence. Paul intends to return to the Comics Alternativefamily from time to time as a podcaster, and Gwen and Krystal wish him the very best in his new role. During the main portion of the show, Gwen and Krystal discuss three new releases: Ivan Brunetti's 3 x 4, published last month by TOON Books and geared towards early elementary readers, and two Halloween-oriented middle grade graphic novels: Drew Weing's The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo: The Monster Mall, which is the second in the Margo Maloo series from First Second books, and Brenna Thummler's debut, Sheets, put out by Lion Forge's Cubhouse imprint. Both Krystal and Gwen found Brunetti's 3 x 4 to be a great addition to the plethora of STEM-focused comics that have been published in the last five years, including First Second's Science Comics series and Mike Holmes and Gene Luen Yang's Secret Coders. Krystal praises Brunetti for his inclusion of a diverse and eclectic group of young people, and Gwen notes that for the detail-oriented child, every page offers up an opportunity to discover the many ways that the number 12 can be divided into sets! Next, the two PhDs consider Drew Weing's follow up to his highly successful first volume of the Margo Maloos series: The Creepy Case Files of Margo Maloo: The Monster Mall. Gwen appreciates Weing's decision to continue focusing on the costs of gentrification, while Krystal notes that the inclusion of teenage characters adds a new dimension to the series. Finally, Gwen and Krystal discuss the amazing debut by Brenna Thummler, Sheets (Lion Forge), which takes place in a lake resort town and focuses on the struggles of a young woman who has become the proprietor of her family's laundromat, all while trying to fit in at middle school. Her interactions with Wendell, the ghost of an eleven-year-old boy, end up making life a lot better for both of them. Krystal points out Thummler's attention to figural placement and atmospherics, and Gwen suggests that while some of the plot points might seem a little far-fetched, the novel holds together well and deals with class conflict in a manner that is also present in Weing's Margo Maloo series. In November, Gwen and Krystal will be back with another set of books to review, as well as 2018 best-of-list recommendations for our listener's winter holiday celebrations.  

  Intro Hello everyone! Welcome to Books Between - a podcast for teachers, librarians, parents, and anyone who loves middle grade books! I believe in the power of stories to change our mood - make us laugh, cry, or… creep us out in the best possible way!  My goal is to help you connect kids with those fabulous books and share inspiring conversations with the authors and educators who make that magic happen. I am your host, Corrina Allen - a mom of a 9 and 11 year old, a 5th grade teacher in Central New York, and spending a few hours each week phone banking!    This is episode #61 and Today I’m booktalking three recent paranormal reads that will get you and your kids in the perfect fall mood, and sharing a conversation with Pablo Cartaya about his latest novel, Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish! Before we jump into things, a few updates: The Middle Grade at Heart Book Club pick for October is The Three Rules of Everyday Magic by Amanda Rawson Hill and The Hotel Between by Sean Easley is the November pick. And - I just got sneak peek at the first four MG at Heart picks for 2019 and they’re fantastic. In fact, one of the authors, was recently featured on the show.   Also remember to check out #MGBooktober to check out all the great discussions around middle grade and connect with other educators, librarians, authors, and fans.   And remember that Monday nights at 9pm EST is the #MGBookChat Twitter chat!  This month some of the topics are: Building Vocabulary with Middle Grade Books, and Taboo Roll Call: Does anything go in Middle Grade now?  We always have a great time a leave with tons of suggestions for the kids in our lives. And...of course, ourselves!   Book Talk - Three New Paranormal Reads   This week I am sharing with you three new paranormal releases that are perfect for the fall - or anytime, really! They are Edison Beaker Creature Seeker by Frank Cammuso, Sheets by Brenna Thummler, and Small Spaces by Katherine Arden.   Edison Beaker Creature Seeker   Let’s start with Edison Beaker Creature Seeker. This full-color graphic novel is the first in a new series by Frank Cammuso - author of The Knights of the Lunch Table series and the Misadventures of Salem Hyde series.  This book is about a young boy named Edison who has always been afraid of the dark. When his mom has to go out of town, Edison and his little sister, Tesla, go to stay with their Uncle Earl. Uncle Earl is an exterminator and he reluctantly takes the kids on a late-night “emergency” job where they end up going through a door to a shadowy other-worldly place where Edison has to confront his fears and lots of bizarre creatures!  Here are three things to love about Edison Beaker Creature Seeker:   Tesla’s hamster, Scuttlebutt! He is so stinking cute!! And gets into so much trouble - or rather, gets everyone else into trouble when he rolls away in his ball into the darkest, most dangerous corners. How FUNNY this book is!  I was at the park with my daughters when I finished it last week, and I just could NOT help laughing out loud - even though I knew I was getting weird looks. The word play, especially, is so much fun. Already the names Edison and Tesla are awesome - but another example, the portal to the other realm is through the Night Door which is found in an old building called the Wherehouse. And so the creatures call their underworld - the UnderWhere. And as you can imagine - the conversations around that are THE BEST. This intriguing little creature called Knox who is this fierce, cute little purple scavenger with a blue mohawk. I. LOVE. HER. She’s complicated and tough and vulnerable - and clearly has a much bigger part to play in future books.   Edison Beaker Creature Seeker is a fantastic graphic novel that you will definitely want to add to your collection. It’s sort of like a mix between HiLo and Amulet. So if you have kids who loved those two series, this is one to introduce them to next.   Sheets   Next up this week is another graphic novel - Sheets by Brenna Thummler. This story is about 13 year-old Marjorie who is responsible for running her family’s laundromat. She has a lot going on - dealing with her father’s depression, taking care of her little brother, middle school drama - and the horrid Mr. Saubertuck who is trying to close down the family business. And then, in floats Wendell - a ghost (sheet and all) who accidentally ends up in Marjorie’s laundromat and creates his own complications.  Here are three things to love about Sheets:   The ghosts! Even though they all wear a sheet, they each have their own personalities - some wearing hats, or glasses. The parts about the laundromat business. I love stories that get you behind the scenes of how things run. Brenna Thummler’s illustrations!  Such a gorgeous color palette in shades of blue, pink, and green. I love her backgrounds - the buildings, all the little details of the interiors, and especially her trees!  I noticed this in her illustrations for Anne of Green Gables, too - Brenna’s trees and leaves are stunning.   Sheets is a great suggestion for kids who might be looking for a realistic fiction graphic novel with a twist of paranormal that it’s too scary.   Small Spaces   And finally - a new middle grade novel you NEED to get your hands on - Small Spaces by Katherine Arden. It’s about a young girl named Ollie whose mother died under tragic circumstances last year, and understandably - Ollie is withdrawn and raw.  She ends up with this creepy book that tells the legend of two local brothers who come under the influence of The Smiling Man - with horrific results. When Ollie takes a field trip to a nearby farm, she and her friends Coco and Brian end up in an other-wordly fight to survive the lure of those mysterious forces. I love what Betsy Bird said about this book: “Are you afraid of scarecrows? No? Well, bad news bucko. You’re about to be.” And oh is she right!!  Here are three things to love about Small Spaces:   It’s so immersive and atmospheric!  I loved Arden’s lush descriptions of a gorgeous sunny autumn in Vermont that slowly turns dark and foreboding - scarlet sugar maples, the silvery gleam of the distant creek, and then fog descending over a broken-down bus. It is straight up terrifying! And the pacing is perfect - taking the tension up a notch bit by bit.  Small things, then bigger and bigger. A thrown rock. A frightened woman at the watering hole. A mysterious book from 1895. The weird, bad story about the schoolhouse fire. And that’s only the first quarter of the book!!   That twist at the END!!! Ahhh! It is SUCH a pleasure when a book truly surprises you!   If you have kids who like scary - kids who liked Stranger Things. Kids who liked The Peculiar Incident on Shady Street. This is the book to hand them next.   Pablo Cartaya - Interview Outline   Our special guest this week is Pablo Cartaya - author of The Epic Fail of Arturo Zamora and his most recent middle grade novel - Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish. We talk about the people of Puerto Rico and their strength, we discuss why he included a character with Down’s Syndrome and the efforts he made to get that portrayal right, and we also chat about the proper storage of peanut butter - among lots of other things. And don’t forget that when you are done reading the book and you want to hear Pablo and I discuss the ending of Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish, just wait until the end of the show after the credits and that bonus section will be waiting for you.   Take a listen…   Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish   Marcus Vega Doesn’t Speak Spanish is your second middle grade and has been getting all kinds of great buzz online! For our listeners who have not yet read the novel, can you tell us a bit about it?   Would you mind reading a favorite passage?   One of the reasons I loved this book so much was that I felt like I was traveling through Puerto Rico right along with Marcus! Can you talk a little bit about your research? There is a fair amount of the novel that is in Spanish (a language I don’t speak) and yet somehow I never felt lost in the story. What was your process like for deciding how much Spanish to include and where it would go?   In the novel, Marcus’ younger brother, Charlie, has Down Syndrome.  What made you decide to include a character with Down Syndrome and how did you make sure to get that representation as authentic as possible?   In your acknowledgments,  you thank your father for teaching you how to cook. What are some of your favorite things to make?   Where do YOU store your peanut butter?   **BONUS SPOILER SECTION: Pablo and I discuss the ending of the novel, and if you’d like to hear that conversation, I moved that part of the recording to after the end credits of today’s episode at the 59:50 mark.   Your Writing Life   I noticed that your first book was a picture book! What lead you down the path of writing middle grade?   Do you think you’d ever write another picture book?   What are you working on now? Your Reading Life   One of the goals of this podcast is to help educators and librarians and parents inspire kids to read more and connect them with amazing books.  Did you have a special person who helped launch your reading life as a child? And if so, what did they do that made such a difference?   What were some of your most influential reads as a child?   What have you been reading lately that you’ve liked?   Links:   Pablo’s website - http://www.pablocartaya.com Pablo on Twitter and Instagram Information about Kokila Imprint   Books & Authors We Chatted About:   Journey to the Center of the Earth (Jules Verne) 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea (Jules Verne) Roald Dahl Things Fall Apart (Chinua Achebe) The Color Purple (Alice Walker) Sounder (William H.

Angela and Kelly finally take a dive into the possibly controversial category of BL (Boys' Love) manga. Kelly tries to define BL manga without getting booed off the internet, and Angela tries to wrap her head around the concept of manga about all boys for an audience of all girls. How did the genre develop? (Hint: It's time to talk about 70s shojo again). Why do fujoshi get such a bad rap? Plus, some recommendations for getting started with BL titles.
