We're returning to Luster with book 2 of Bruce Coville's Unicorn Chronicles! Cara gets into complex lineage tangles, prismatic prisons, and more sparkly magical talismans than our 12-year-old hearts could handle. We discuss how this series inspired Madeleine's early writing, the lure of the hearth versus the mystery of the unknown, and why the Squijum makes these audiobooks a real challenge.

Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E. Feist's Magician (now available in volumes one and two), as well as books by Anne McCaffrey, Jane Yolen, Brian Jacques, E.R. Eddison, David Eddings, and Ursula K. Le Guin. The idea of Eragon began as the daydreams of a teen. Christopher's love for the magic of stories led him to craft a novel that he would enjoy reading. The project began as a hobby, a personal challenge; he never intended it to be published. Before he began writing Eragon, he plotted out the entire adventure. He found that doing some of the same things as his characters allowed him to better understand their world, as well as to think of descriptions that otherwise would not have occured to him. To this end he forged his own knives and swords, made chain mail, spun wool, camped in the Beartooth Mountains, made his own bow, built survival shelters, learned to track game, fletched arrows, felled trees, hiked, and camped. In short, the books embody a great deal of his experience of living in Montana. His work also combined elements gathered from research and from his imagination. He read a huge amount of folklore while growing up, ranging from the Brothers Grimm to Beowulf, Nordic sagas, and the Aeneid, along with contemporary fantasy and science fiction. In addition, he learned about weaponry, food, clothing, and customs from the Middle Ages, which is roughly the era he envisioned Eragon living in. Armed with that information, he daydreamed the scenes with his characters. Then he took pen to paper and tried to recreate those images with words. Christopher was fifteen when he wrote the first draft of Eragon. He took a second year to revise the book, and then gave it to his parents to read. The family decided to self-publish the book and spent a third year preparing the manuscript for publication: copyediting, proofreading, designing a cover, typesetting the manuscript, and creating marketing materials. During this time Christopher drew the map for Eragon, as well as the dragon eye for the book cover (which now appears inside the Knopf hardcover edition). The manuscript was sent to press and the first books arrived in November 2001. The Paolini family spent the next year promoting the book at libraries, bookstores, and schools in 2002 and early 2003.
The library looks at a pre-YA classic about an alien invasion, talks about our favorite alien invasion movies, and discusses some potential ways to stop aliens in their tracks.

Christopher Paolini drops by the Story Craft Cafe again to talk about his new releases this year, a sci fi thriller follow up called Fractal Noise, as well as his return this fall to the world of Eragon. Christopher was homeschooled by his parents. As a child, he often wrote short stories and poems, made frequent trips to the library, and read widely. Some of his favorite books were Bruce Coville's Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, Frank Herbert's Dune, and Raymond E.

In summer 2002, author Carl Hiaasen, whose stepson had read a copy of the self-published book while on vacation in Montana, brought Eragon to the attention of his publisher, Alfred A. Knopf Books For Young Readers, an imprint of Random House Children's Books. Michelle Frey, executive editor at Knopf, contacted Christopher and his family to ask if they might be interested in having Knopf publish Eragon. The answer was yes, and after another round of editing, Knopf published Eragon in August 2003. The book immediately became a New York Times Best Seller. https://youtube.com/live/qzyaqkPntK0

It's been long awaited, but we finally did a full read through of one of our favorite series The Unicorn Chronicles by Bruce Coville. What follows in this episode is our discussion about the publishing history of the series, our thoughts about the books, as well as our casting choices for some of the characters should this series make its way to film. Our new segment, "Oh...word?" makes a return with the word Luster. Whether you are new or returning to Coville's Unicorn Chronicles series, now is a good time to jump in because the series is being re-released (after over a decade of being out of print) in a uniformly sized paperback format that includes some new content spread out between seven books. Check out brucecoville.com to order signed copies of many of his works, including Julia's favorite Sarah's Unicorn. Until next month, let's read, share, and repeat!

In keeping with the theme, we also discuss Walt Wittman's work Live Oak, With Moss.

Bruce Coville has written over one hundred books for young teens, and yet he doesn't seem to be as well-remembered as other authors, like RL Stine. We try to right this wrong with a special bonus episode on Coville's JENNIFER MURDLEY'S TOAD. Guiding us through this book is actor (and Sam's friend) Vin Craig. If you like magic shops, evil pretty people, and, of course, toads, then this ep is 4 U! Recorded September 24, 2020.

This episode contains: We get off to a rough start this episode, we chat about Devon's roof caving in, why the Beatles took so long to join iTunes and sound effect editing. Don't worry, we eventually get to the science. All The Lovely People, Where Do They All Come From?: World population likely to shrink after mid-century, forecasting major shifts in global population and economic power. New estimates show the world population peaking in 2064 with 9.7 billion and declining to 8.8 billion by 2100. We talk about what is changing in our world for these numbers to make sense, and how our world will change accordingly. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200715150444.htm Light at the End of the Tunnel: Experimental COVID-19 vaccine safe, and generates immune response. The investigational vaccine mRNA-1273 was well tolerated and prompted neutralizing antibody activity in healthy adults. We talk about this amazing news and why science is so slow. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2020/07/200714171338.htm Science Fiction: We quickly touch upon such topics as breath holding, the houses in Harry Potter, and Candyland before settling on the classic book from our youth, My Teacher is an Alien. Ben is reading it to his son, who loves it. We talk more about Bruce Coville's work before a segue into the newly announced book by Ernest Cline, Ready Player Two. We talk about if a sequel was required and wonder what it could possibly be about. Steven gets us up to speed on the newly announced show Star Wars: The Bad Batch, about a group of specialized clones and what they're up to after the Clone Wars end. Ben has been watching Doom Patrol and Steven asks for a reason to watch, to which he is given many. Steven then talks about The Old Guard, the Netflix movie adapted from the Greg Rucka comic. It's a good movie.
In this episode we review two science fiction books, The Messengers by Lindsay Joelle and Contagion/Immunity duology by Erin Bowman.

Have you ever wanted to stumble across a world of magic and mystery and hatch your own dragon to be a beloved companion and eternal friend? One of this podcast duo did as a child. The other did not. Join Kelly and Emily as they revisit Bruce Coville's "Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher" and we find out which of the two still has the beautiful childlike spirit of whimsy in her heart, while also being the one who writes these episode descriptions. Next Episode: "Starring Sally J. Freedman as Herself" by Judy Blume Twitter: @ThrowbackBSPod
Another entry in the Magic Shoppe series, this one stars a young boy who is unwittingly tasked with the raising of a dragon! Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher, was far less exciting than the other Bruce Coville book we read, but it is NOT short on the feels.
This episode we're diving into a classic middle grade mystery book. Written by popular and prolific kid’s book author Bruce Coville, The Ghost Wore Gray is a beloved favorite of writer Amanda Cherry. We discuss staying up all night to read, getting "fired" from the 8th grade for preferring science fiction to the classics, and the ways in which our early reading habits can continue to influence and inspire us. Also, for any Victorian literature stans out there, some very strong opinions on George Eliot and Charles Dickens are expressed. Consider yourself warned.

Kelly and Emily return from the depths to discuss another book of Emily's childhood - this time, it's Robin McKinley's "Beauty: A Retelling of the Story of Beauty and the Beast". It's time to talk about baffling breezes, boring beasts, and names for horses. Fun fact: this time it's NOT a sad novel about a historical girl and lots of people who die, so. It's got that going for it. Next episode: Bruce Coville's "Jeremy Thatcher, Dragon Hatcher" Music: "Heartbreaker" by Jahzzar (betterwithmusic.com) Twitter: @ThrowbackBSPod

But now Kelly and Emily are not only back, they've got a guest! Their friend(?)

Amanda and Jenn discuss gothic novels, short stories, LGBTQ+ YA, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Lit Chat, Second Acts by Teri Emory, and A Poison Dark and Drowning by Jessica Cluess. Questions 1. Hi Amanda & Jenn I wanted to say I love your podcast. You guys are awesome. I'm going on vacation to Rome this fall and I was hoping to read some novels between then and now to give me a feel for the city. I'm looking for fiction, historical or not (just not Ancient Rome), where the city plays a prominent role. I'm not really into mysteries or really super dark, heavy stuff ie The Vegetarian. (Although I did enjoy that one, but I'm good on dark for a while) Other than that, I'm open to whatever you can recommend. Thanks. --Denise 2. Hello! Ideally I'd like these books before Oct. 2017 so I can read for Halloween, but that isn't super critical. When I was in middle school, I went through a phase of loving ghost stories. You know the ones--plucky middle school kid moves into a creepy old house on the East Coast, meets a benevolent ghost, solves the mystery of their murder so they can move into the Great Beyond. I especially loved Mary Downing Hahn. I was also inspired by the recent (as of 7/12/17) post about Bruce Coville's series to load up some books on my Thrift Books wishlist, but I'm interested in the same style of story aimed at adults. Nothing horrifying, but a bit of a thrill is ok. I'm not necessarily looking for the same formula, just the same atmosphere and ghost-iness. Any thoughts? Thanks so much! --Samantha 3. Hello, I am hoping to give my sister a book of short stories for Christmas. She is new to reading for pleasure and she asks me if I can recommend her something but it’s difficult when she and I are not sure what she likes. I know she doesn't like zombie/horror (like) stories/books. Is there something with different genres, maybe this will help her find what she does or doesn't like. Thank you so much, you guys have a great day :) --Paola 4. I'm taking a train trip from San Diego to Portland in October to visit Powell's as part of my 30th birthday celebration (I turned 30 in July, but I bought the trip as a gift to myself). Since this is a special trip, I'd love to pick up a few new books that I can cherish as well. I'd love for these to be the type of books that become favorites. I'm mostly into Fantasy and Science Fiction, and I really enjoy YA. I love a good story based in mythology or a good fairy tale retelling. I've also been getting into mystery/suspense/thriller and horror lately and would love a good terrifying horror story (apparently I'm hard to scare on the page). I do enjoy the occasional contemporary/literary fiction as well. I could do without love/romance (as long as it doesn't take over the story or the story has other strong elements or is just really good). I would also love to include diversity in my picks. Books I love or have really enjoyed include: Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, American Gods, A Head Full of Ghosts, The Kingkiller Chronicles, The Book Thief, Queens of Geek, The Library of Fates, Ready Player One, Ramona Blue, and The Mermaid's Sister. --Jessica 5. Hey Y'all! My name is Sabrina and the last few years of my life have been pretty rough. To make a long, traumatic story short, I had been going through an ongoing custody battle with my son's father, had an extremely difficult pregnancy that ended with my sweet baby in NICU (she's healthy and happy now), dealt with other family issues as well as my own internal ones. Nevertheless, I received my Bachelor's degree in English and Women's Studies and am now in grad school. Although things have gotten better, I still have this overwhelming feeling of exhaustion and anxiety but above all, I feel inadequate. I'm a brown woman, the first in my family to graduate with a bachelors, let alone get into grad school. I have 3 kiddos whom I adore and I just really want to read something that will help me to believe everything will get better. That someone else has been through the things I have and that I am worthy of my place in grad school. I am worthy of my place in the world. I read Tiny Beautiful Things and loved it. I would love any recommendations of books with a woman of color main character and something not toooooo long because grad school. Bonus if the main character is a mom/writer herself. --Sabrina 6. Hi! I’m trying to complete the 2017 Read Harder Challenge, and I’m having trouble finding books for some of the categories. One in particular has me stumped: read a YA or middle grade novel by an author who identifies as LGBTQ+. I actually love YA, so you would think this would be easy for me, but I’m having trouble figuring out which authors identify as LGBTQ+ (Sexual orientation isn’t always printed on the “About the Author” page, or even the author’s website, so how would I find this info?). Some YA books I’ve liked recently are: When Dimple Met Rishi, Saints and Misfits, To All the Boys I’ve Loved Before, and Something In Between Thanks for your help! --Jess 7. Dear Amanda and Jenn, Thank you for continuing to give new and specialized recs week after week! I'm searching for suggestions to send to my friend who is in the US Marine Corps and deployed to the Middle East for an extended period. He doesn't get a lot of down time, but likes to read and obviously didn't get to bring many books along. The book/books need to be short-ish, since I'll be sending it/them via air mail. He enjoys Kerouac and Hemingway. Maybe something with a sense of humor? Any good, intriguing story/memoir/essay collection that will lift his spirits but not be too heavy. Nothing political, but it could be fiction or non-fiction. He is super into all kinds of music (he used to be a DJ) so bonus points if you can think of something related to that. He also loves to travel and studies several languages... it seemed like a broad request at first so I'm trying to give you a sense of his interests to help you narrow down your picks :) Thanks so much for your help! --Haley Books An Unkindness of Ghosts by Rivers Solomon Slow Days, Fast Company by Eve Babitz That Awful Mess on the Via Merulana by Carlo Emilio Gadda, trans William Weaver Angels & Demons by Dan Brown Michelangelo and the Pope’s Ceiling by Ross King Deadman: Dark Mansion of Forbidden Love by Sarah Vaughn and Lan Medina The Thirteenth Tale by Diane Setterfield In the Country by Mia Alvar Best American Short Stories 2016 The Hum and the Shiver by Alex Bledsoe Tender by Sofia Samatar The Opposite of Everyone by Joshilyn Jackson Year of Yes by Shonda Rhimes When the Moon Was Ours by Anna-Marie McLemore Dreadnought by April Daniels Musicophilia by Oliver Sacks Let’s Talk About Love (33 ⅓) by Carl Wilson

Author Bruce Coville talks about writing children's books, ETs, and whole language.
I met our ninth reader on a gloomy October evening for a delicious bowl of ramen and a conversation about the short story collection Oddly Enough (1994). Bruce Coville’s fantastical and often spooky narratives enthralled our reader at a young age and strengthened her interest in fiction. We talked about the humour found in the... Read More
