The Last Rose of Shanghai: By Weina Dai Randel | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3JbtJkl "Weina Dai Randel's poignant, sweeping love story paints a vibrant portrait of a little-known slice of World War II history. Not to be missed!" ―Kate Quinn, New York Times bestselling author of The Rose Code and The Huntress "A powerful story of the relationship between a Shanghai heiress and a Jewish refugee...one readers will never forget." ―Pam Jenoff, New York Times bestselling author of The Woman with the Blue Star "A must-read for historical fiction lovers. Filled with page-turning suspense and a poignant and unforgettable love story, Weina Dai Randel wholly immerses the reader in this richly detailed and powerfully drawn story." ―Chanel Cleeton, New York Times and USA Today bestselling author In Japanese-occupied Shanghai, two people from different cultures are drawn together by fate and the freedom of music... 1940. Aiyi Shao is a young heiress and the owner of a formerly popular and glamorous Shanghai nightclub. Ernest Reismann is a penniless Jewish refugee driven out of Germany, an outsider searching for shelter in a city wary of strangers. He loses nearly all hope until he crosses paths with Aiyi. When she hires Ernest to play piano at her club, her defiance of custom causes a sensation. His instant fame makes Aiyi's club once again the hottest spot in Shanghai. Soon they realize they share more than a passion for jazz—but their differences seem insurmountable, and Aiyi is engaged to another man. As the war escalates, Aiyi and Ernest find themselves torn apart, and their choices between love and survival grow more desperate. In the face of overwhelming odds, a chain of events is set in motion that will change both their lives forever. From the electrifying jazz clubs to the impoverished streets of a city under siege, The Last Rose of Shanghai is a timeless, sweeping story of love and redemption. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Amanda and Jenn discuss middle-grade read-alouds, atmospheric novels, snarky narrators, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. Follow the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback Dare to Disappoint: Growing Up in Turkey by Özge Samanci (rec'd by Jan) Notes on a Foreign Country: An American Abroad in a Post-American World by Suzy Hansen (rec'd by Sibyl) Anthony Horowitz's the Susan Ryeland series (first book: Magpie Murders) and the Hawthorne and Horowitz Mysteries (first book: The Word is Murder) (rec'd by Ann) Questions 1. My [niece] is 23 and just informed my sister, brother-in-law, and the family that [she] is transgender. (So she is now my niece). She is starting the process of taking hormones and the like. My sister was shocked and did not see it coming. She is very liberal and is coming around to the idea. I was hoping for book recommendations that would help us (especially my sister) understand what my niece has felt like being in the wrong body. In a quick search I found books involving young kids. I was hoping for books centered more on coming out as trans as a 20-something. I'm thinking maybe a biography or non-fiction. Also my whole family loves fantasy so if there's a book in that genre maybe we could read it together. -Klista 2. Love the show!   I'm looking for recommendations to read aloud to my 7 1/2 year old boy/girl twins that I will enjoy too.   We love well-written, funny middle grade books – preferably with animal characters.   They are still sensitive readers – we avoid books with any violence and try to avoid orphaned children or those with not great parents.   We're not scared of long books or intricate language.   Books we've loved (and read over and over) include: The True Blue Scouts of Sugarman Swamp  The Very Very Far North & it's sequel Winnie the Pooh Collected Stories Books we've liked a lot:  Flora & Ulysses  Ruby Lu Brave & True Gooseberry Park Books that I liked but they didn't: Wild Robot Books they love but I'm not as into:  Humphrey series Mrs Piggle Wiggle & Missy Piggle Wiggle We've read most books by Roald Dahl & most age appropriate ones by Kate DiCamillo. They are still too nervous to start Harry Potter. Thanks! -Marisa 3. Hi Jenn and Amanda! I'm finally coming back to Get Booked now that I can read again! (baby girl took all my free time hihi) In the last couple of months, I realised that I love atmospheric books, even if the plot is weak or nonexistent. Some other books I loved are Erin Morgenstern books (both!), The Invisible Life of Addie Larue and Piranesi.  Do you have other recommendations like it? If it's mixed with greek mythology it's even better. Thanks a lot! PS: love from Canada. -Emilie 4. I'd love recommendations for books set in or about Bogota, Colombia. Preferably, something like Chanel Cleeton's books about Cuba that help to understand the history and current impacts or nonfiction about the history. Any genre is fine! -Tracey 5. Two of my favorite books/series I read this year have been “A Deadly Education” by Naomi Novik and “The Murderbot Diaries” by Martha Wells. On the surface they might seem kind of different, but they both had such a great narrative voice, with the right amount of sarcasm/snark/humor, and a completely lovable main character, and they left me feeling warm and fuzzy inside. Also, my favorite genres are Fantasy and Sci Fi, so these were perfect. I'm so sad I have to wait until more comes out from these authors. Please tell me what I can read while I'm waiting! Thank you! -Lauren 6. I recently read Lost Roses and seriously loved A Gentleman in Moscow before that.   I've also just marathoned The Last Csars on Netflix — and I haven't had my fill!   Can you recommend some historical fiction set in late 19th, early 20th century Russia that will help me get my next Russian nobility fix?  Thank you! -Emily 7. Hello there – Trigger Warning: So this is a tough one since it deals with a sensitive topic – suicide. I'm looking for a book (fiction or non-fiction I suppose, YA or Adult) that deals with how to cope when a friend/family member attempts suicide BUT does not succeed/commit. I find that most books about suicide are dealing with the aftermath of someone's death, but what happens if they didn't die? No one ever seems to talk about that. A recommendation for this would be very helpful, as this past year has been rough and I'd like someone else's perspective of coping with this kind of situation. Sorry this one is a bit of a downer, but important given the need for mental health awareness. Thank you. -Sam Books Discussed Fairest by Meredith Talusan (tw: racism) Sorted by Jackson Bird Bright Lines by Tanwi Nandini Islam The One and Only Ivan by Katherine Applegate Where The Mountain Meets The Moon by Grace Lin Song of Achilles by Madeline Miller Travel Light by Naomi Mitchison The Sound of Things Falling by Juan Gabriel Vasquez, transl. by Anne McLean Fruit of the Drunken Tree by Ingrid Rojas Contreras (tw: rape & other violence towards women, harm to children including death, panic attacks & PTSD) Velocity Weapon by Megan E.

The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba: By Chanel Cleeton Website: https://gobookmart.com "In this powerful, page-turner, Chanel Cleeton has interwoven the stories of three unforgettable historical women against the fiery backdrop of the Spanish-American war and the Cuban fight for freedom from the Spanish. Using the brave acts of real-life historical women as inspiration, The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba shines the light on the fierce women who played a critical role in this important juncture in time -- women who are determined not to be forgotten." —Marie Benedict, New York Times bestselling author of The Mystery of Mrs. Christie “Cleeton always delivers! This time, with The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba, a well-researched tale set against the backdrop of a newspaper war. With moguls determined to drag the United States into the conflict between Cuba and Spain, this novel's women--the reporter, the revolutionary, and the beauty--are all brought vividly to life in a lovingly rendered novel about the triumphs and tragedies of war.” —Stephanie Dray, New York Times bestselling author of The Women of Chateau Layfayette “Grace Harrington is my new favourite heroine. I was absolutely fascinated by the world of stunt girl reporters and newspaper wars that she throws herself into, just as I was equal parts enthralled and heartbroken by the story of Evangelina Cisneros, the most beautiful – and courageous – girl in Cuba. And how wonderful to meet another member of the Perez family – the plucky Marina, whose story intertwines with the other women's. Nobody writes about Cuban women – their lives, their loves and their bravery – like Chanel Cleeton does. A truly beautiful book.” —Natasha Lester, New York Times bestselling author of The Paris Secret “Historical fiction fans will love this novel and its perfectly detailed descriptions of a long-gone era. This is another slam-dunk from Cleeton.” —Library Journal (starred review) “An enchanting historical novel…. Cleeton skillfully brings off the three strong women's heartbreaking stories with intriguing twists and turns and a delightful finale. With impeccable research and perfect pacing, Cleeton makes the most of her subject.” —Publishers Weekly “With a splash of romance and a healthy helping of history, this novel will be a hit for all collections.” —Booklist --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Chanel Cleeton's latest Cuban historical, The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba, covers the remarkable real-life story of Evangelina, a young Cuban noble woman who became an “overnight celebrity” in a bitter New York circulation war that birthed the world of newspaper tabloid journalism we see today. Hi there, I'm your host Jenny Wheeler, and today Chanel talks about the birth of yellow journalism and the role the Cuban War of Independence in the 1890s played in its creation. It's a colorful story, poignant, with lots of human emotion and larger than life characters, like William Randolph Hearst and his bitter rival Joseph Pulitzer. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: The special pleasure in writing her family's storyEvangelina's remarkable influenceHow intense Press Baron rivalry helped spark a warThe role of female stunt journalists in sensationalizing newsThe wonderful camaraderie of the Reese Witterspoon clubMore Perez family stories to come Where to find Chanel Cleeton:  Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chanelcleeton/ Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/AuthorChanelCleeton/ Goodreads: https://www.goodreads.com/author/show/7383025.Chanel_Cleeton Bookbub:  https://www.bookbub.com/profile/chanel-cleeton Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Chanel-Cleeton/e/B00G1BWPD2 What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. But now, here's Chanel. Introducing author Chanel Cleeton Chanel Cleeton - Reese Witterspoon Book Club selection Jenny Wheeler: Welcome back, Chanel. It's great to talk with you again. Chanel Cleeton: Thank you so much for having me again. I'm thrilled to be here. Jenny Wheeler: For those who weren't with us then, you were on the show in 2019 with your first Cuban historical, Next Year in Havana, which had the distinction of being a Reese Witherspoon Book Club Choice. Now you've got your third Cuban historical out, The Most Beautiful Girl in Cuba. These books are wonderful. You're digging back into your own heritage with these stories., aren't you? Tell us a little bit about your family links with Cuba. Chanel Cleeton: I'm Cuban American. My family came over from Cuba in 1967 after the revolution in 1959. They came to the United States as refugees, and I grew up on their memories of Cuba and their love for their homeland, and so it's been fascinating for me to be able to explore that part of my heritage and learn new things about Cuban history as I go back in time and imagine what my ancestors' lives might have been like. Jenny Wheeler: This book draws more heavily on true events than the earlier ones did, and it reveals some harrowing information about the way the Cuban population suffered in the War of Independence in the late 19th century. Did knowing that it was your family's shared experience give this period a special interest and poignancy for you? Chanel Cleeton: It really did. It was one of those things where I asked my grandfather about it and if he had heard anything, because it's something my great-grandparents would have lived through. Unfortunately, I don't know what my family's experiences were like during that time period, but it definitely made me interested to imagine what it would have been like for them in such heightened and also important times in Cuban history. The real Evangelina Cisneros It was interesting to be able to go back to that and look at what my fictional characters went through and imagine what my ancestors would have as well. Jenny Wheeler: We've mentioned that it's based on true events and it's built around the story of a real-life woman who attracted American interest. She was well born, she attracted the ire of the Spanish authorities and was thrown into a confined situation for reasons that are really very feeble, because they suspected her father of something.

  Checking In! Is Gwen a scammer now? She learned how to use OfferUp! Danielle is sleepy because of rainy weather. Deep Dive: Pop Culture Historicals Gwen and Danielle are OBSESSED with costume dramas and historical fiction and romance. We're not sorry about it at all, nor are we sorry about how much fun you're going to have when you watch these shows and movies or read these books. Danielle mentioned a monthly romance blogger twitter chat, hosted by @readRchat. Historicals and Fairy Tales come up a lot! Gwen's Gateway Historicals: Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea, Little Women, Pride & Prejudice Gwen's Sexy Historicals: North and South, The Serpent's Kiss, Dangerous Liaisons, Washington Square, The Favorite, The Great Gwen's Modern/More Recent Historicals: Velvet Goldmine, Never Let Me Go (sorta), Lovecraft Country, Watchmen (THEM is a new show on Amazon), The Crown Gwen's Biopics: Chaplin, Rocketman, What's Love Got to Do with It, Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (we also digressed a bit about the recent Chadwick Boseman episode of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour for their thought-provoking commentary on why biopic performances work so well but the movies don't always pan out). Danielle hasn't met an Austen and Little Women adaptation she doesn't love: Emma 2020, Mansfield Park 1999, P&P 2005; LW 1994 and 2019. Special shout out to Clueless (which is sort of a historical film now, LOL to mask our tears)—the best adaptation of Emma to date. Danielle is trash for anything related to the War of the Roses and Tudor England: The White Queen, The White Princess, The Tudors, and Game of Thrones Danielle is here for PRETTY historicals: Downton Abbey (and most Masterpiece historical dramas), Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Harlots Danielle recommends “literary” shows, too: Dickinson (VERY anachronistic), Lovecraft Country/HBO, Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Julie and The Great Gatsby (even Moulin Rouge!, too), Joe Wright's Anna Karenina Danielle has a TON of historical romance recommendations! Beverly Jenkin's does such a phenomenal job with American history and Black history, portraying the hard things people went through but also showing how joyful their lives could be—she spoke about this on NPR with Karen Grigbsy Bates. TEMPEST is among D's favorites, but you can't go wrong with any of Ms. Bev's books. Alyssa Cole's Loyal League series is about Black spies for the Union army. For regency romances, Danielle turns to authors like Tessa Dare, Olivia Drake, Sarah MacLean, and Vanessa Riley! In terms of historical fiction, Danielle still gravitates to stories with romantic elements. Chanel Cleeton's Perez Family Saga set during the rise of Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Her book NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA was a Reese Witherspoon book club pick. It's also based on her family's history! Gwen loves a true classic of the historical romance genre: Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels. For historical fiction, she enjoys Phillipa Gregory!   Recs from Vanessa: Here's a photo from Vanessa's Instagram that shows her amazing IKEA Bookshelves (something similar to Vanessa's shelves can be found here) You don't have to read Book 1, A DUKE, THE LADY, AND A BABY, to follow along with AN EARL, THE GIRL, AND A TODDLER, but Vanessa recommends it for better insight with some of the references in Book2. Vanessa's website is a treasure trove of information about her historical research! Learn more about Dorothy “Doll” Kirwan Thomas ahead of the release of ISLAND QUEEN this July. Look for *major announcements* coming soon! Vanessa also shared that she has a new historical fiction novel, SISTER MOTHER WARRIOR, about the women who shaped the Haitian Revolution. For more about Vanessa, go to https://vanessariley.com/, sign up for her newsletter, and follow her on the socials: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.   Goals/Comfort & Joy Danielle's wants to re-read all of Jane Austen this summer! This goal is inspired by the Jane Austen & Co. Race and the Regency webinars. Ibi Zoboi discussed remixing the regency and her YA P&P retelling PRIDE; Dr. Tricia Matthew (who wrote a very detailed review for Bridgerton in the LA Review of Books) talked about abolition and racism tied to Wedgewood china, and so many others. Recordings are available on the Jane Austen Co's website: https://www.janeaustenandco.org/recorded-events Gwen is going to move for to move for 30+ minutes a day, perhaps while listening to the Newcomers podcast with Lauren Lapkiss and Nicole Byer which is tackling Tyler Perry's oeuvre this season; also lighting a candle every day helps her set a routine and signal to her brain to start working!     Find us on the Socials!

Today’s author interview guest is Chanel Cleeton, who stops by the show to talk about her brand new historical novel The Last Train to Key West. One of Bustle’s Most Anticipated Books of Summer 2020 “The perfect riveting summer read!”—BookBub In […]

THE LAST TRAIN TO KEY WEST is another example of Chanel Cleeton’s gorgeous historical storytelling as she brings to life three bold young women whose paths cross over Labor Day weekend, 1935, when a devastating storm wreaks havoc on the Florida Keys – the very first Category 5 storm to hit American soil. These women seem very different on the surface, but ultimately their lives will never be the same after their chance encounters during this life-altering, completely unforgettable moment in history. Cleeton has a gift for transporting readers back in time, weaving in elements of Cuban-American history that aren’t often focused on in literature, and THE LAST TRAIN TO KEY WEST offers no exception. --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/steve-richards/support

Stay tuned for the second half of the episode in December! Next week, just in time for your tryptophan induced coma, we’re talking Loretta Chase’s Lord of Scoundrels, which was on both Jen & Sarah’s list, and is on the lions’ share of Best Romance Novels Ever lists. We’ll get into why. Read Lord of Scoundrels at Amazon, Barnes & Noble, Apple Books, Kobo or your local indie.Show NotesQuestion 1: Ennis from New York asked, "is like Lothaire by Kresley Cole or Cold Cole Heartby K Webster, where the hero is someone who would be a villain in any other book. A megalomaniac, horribly damaged, murderous, whatever- and a heroine who takes NONE of his shit and brings him to his knees."Our Recommendations: The name of this trope is "morality chain" which might help you on your search for books like this. Sarah's Summer 2020 release Daring and the Duke is perfect for this question, but since it's not out yet, try The Masterpiece Duet by Skye Warren. The first is The King.Question 2: Lesley from Washington DC asked for books "with Jewish heroes and heroines, does not have to be holiday themed."Our recommendations: : Jen suggests Knit One, Girl Two and Cinnamon Blade by Shira Glassman. In fact, Jen was a special guest on the Heaving Bosoms podcast taking about Cinnamon Blade. Sarah recommends Craving Flight by Tamsen Parker and Dalliances and Devotion by Felicia Grossman. Stacey Agdern also writes about Jewish representation in romance and has written some novellas in the Rogue Anthologies. We also mentioned a great point that inspired a great thread by Felicia Grossman about Jewish characters in literature.Question 3: Daniela from Winnipeg had this AMA question: If there was a battle royale between all the IAD heroes, who would win? Does the answer change if they can't use weapons?Our Answer: The Wroth brothers would band togehter, Declan Chase has a real shot, and Lothaire wouldn't care. No matter who wins, Thronos goes down first. Jen mentioned someone who wrote about what would happen if all the US Presidents were in a knife fight. Enjoy.FWIW, Daniela also asked a question we skipped because we couldn't think of anything: A historical that has a silver fox duke and a spitfire heroine who exhausts the hell out of him. IDEAS? Let us know on twitter.Question 4: Kristen from DC! asked, "LGBTQ romance easily available in PRINT for my book club???? We do it through a local indie bookshop, and are having a hard time finding things other than Cat Sebastian/Olivia Waite from Avon."Our Recommendations: Adriana Herrera's American Dreamer series! Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston. We think Vanessa North and KJ Charles might be print on demand, which many indie bookstores won't carry. Dreamspinner is a mess right now, but many great authors are there, including LaQuette's latest, Under His Protection, which Jen bought a copy of at Love's Sweet Arrow. Carina titles might be more easily available, so try Syncopation and the rest of the Twisted Wishes series by Anna Zabo. Jen mentioned Being Hospitable by Meka James, but it's just in E. But you should still read it for fun.Question 5: Courtney from the Bodice Tipplers Podcast wants to know what books made us fall in love with the genre.Our answer: Well, just listen to all of season 2 of Fated Mates! But Sarah mentioned Nobody's Baby but Mine by Susan Elizabeth Phillips. Jen mentioned a new book that has made her feel that way is The Bride Test by Helen Hoang. Julie Garwood and Jude Deveraux were old-school authors we both loved back in the day.Question 6: Ali in NYC had an AMA and a question: How is Eric Mortensen so good at podcast editing?Our answer: Well, he just is and you should contact him if you need podcast editing help.Ali also wanted recommendations about historicals with witches/magic. Our recommendations: So many of these are old school, because this is not a very popular trope right now, so please proceed with caution. Sarah recommended Bewitching by Jill Barnett and Jen recommended a pair of books by Teresa Medeiros, Breath of Magic and Touch of Enchantment. In fact, Jen reviewed Touch of Enchantment for The Book Queen. Post-recording, we thought of Sex and the Psychic Witch by Annette Blair, which is the first of a series where three sisters use their "magic powers for good and their good looks for seduction."Question 7: Hannah from Texas asked for a romance that "has a Lucy Liu in "Set It Up" type heroine getting her actual HEA. I need ball-busting energy falling in love with a guy/gal/whoever that deserves her."Our Recommendations: Sarah recommended The Takeover Effect by Nisha Sharma which has a corporate espionage plot. Jen was maybe thinking of Set it Off and recommeded Elle Kennedy's Out of Uniform series. Jen mentioned Getting Hotter by Elle Kennedy, but upon further reflection, also thinks The Heat is On (in an anthology called Hot & Heavy) might work. But since Hannah was actually talking about Set it Up, which is about assistants and bosses, maybe try The Assistant by Ramona Gray or check out this extensive goodreads list of boss/employee romance novels.Question 8: Jenica from New York asked for a book that has "Childhood friends to enemies to lovers, preferably contemporary."Our recommendations: : We don't say it here, but one strategy Sarah and Jen use all the time with more popular tropes is searching for a Goodreads list. If you can find a book with a title or two you like on it, you might like others! Jen recommended His Until Midnight by Reese Ryan, and also noted that Sarah's book A Rogue by Any Other Name has this trope. Sarah recommended Punk 57 by Penelope Douglas. And a trailing suggestion was trying Christina Lauren, who has written many great enemies to lovers books and maybe one also has childhood friends. We didn't mention it on the podcast, but if you like YA, Jen loved Not if I Save You First by Allie Carter. That one would definitely work!Question 9: Holly from Chapel Hill asked for a book that "Has all the mutual pining. Friends to lovers, enemies to lovers, doesn't matter. Give me every last drop of pining."Our recommendations: Sarah suggests Waking Up with the Duke by Lorraine Heath. Jen recommends On Broken Wings by Chanel Cleeton. After we realized that there is lots of pining in Lisa Kleypas, but we think Again the Magic might be best.Holly had a follow up AMA, "What would your ideal book-centered vacation be?" Sarah said a beach, Jen has always wanted to stay at The Library Hotel, and that led to a discussion of Nora Robert's Boonsboro Inn, in Boonsboro, Maryland. But Jen also loves to read locally, which means reading books set in the places you are traveling.Question 10: Kara asked for a recommendation that "Has some sort of adventure or quest but is also slow burn."Our recommendations: Slow burns aren't our speciality. Jen joked she likes a "fast, incendiary burn." Please check out the Hidden Legacy series by Ilona Andrews, and the second one where they finally do it is called White Hot. The first one is called Burn For Me, it's right in the title! If you like fantasy, try Bound to the Battle God by Ruby Dixon. Sarah mentioned A Promise of Fire by Amanda Bouchet. And Aurora Blazing by Jessie Mihalik could count for this category and for pining!Question 11: Chase from Germany wants "Has m/m with a happy ending and the trope enemies to lovers?"Our recommendations: Sarah recommends Goalie Interference, which has enemy hockey players. Annika Martin has a good series, the first is called Enemies Like You, and Jen also likes a series by Layla Rayne called Agents Irish and Whiskey. Cask Strength also appeared in Jen's list of Who Did It Better on a Pool Table. You're welcome.Question 12: Caitlin from Wisconsin wants a book that "Has a plus size heroine, emphasis on fashion...vampires would also be nice."Our recommendations: We had to handle these two separately. For a curvy heroine with fasion, we recommended Take Me by Bella Andre and The King of Bourbon Street by Thea De Salle. For vampires, try Tall Dark and Hungry by Lynsay Sands. It's about a vampire who writes vampire novels. The Sherrilyn Kenyon book Sarah was thinking about is called Night Play, but it's actually about a werewolf. Oh well.Question 13: Jess asked, "Has an alpha submissive (I’ve tasked Sarah with this before and want more!)"Our recommendations: Jen doesn't think this exists, but Sarah recommends The Duke I Tempted, Giving It Up, The Devil's Submission and Sierra Simone's New Camelot series. If you can roll with Kristen Ashley's prose style, try Deacon. There is no pony play involved.Jess had a follow up AMA: "I would love to hear more about audiobook production. How much say authors have. Do they get to check in during production to make sure jokes are being delivered properly, etc?" Sarah replied that the answer is ... authors don't have much say at all, except maybe a choice of narrators. Sarah loves her narrator, Justine Eyre.Question 14: Lesley from San Francisco asked for a book that "Has a heroine over 50 who is single (not divorced or widowed)."Our recommendations: This was a hard one, and we are hoping that listeners will chime in with answers. We don't think any of these heroines are single--all widowed or divorced. But try Apples Are Red, Driving in Neutral, Bound with Love, or Mrs. Martin's Incomparable Adventure. But, you can check out this facebook group for seasoned romance, and Donnaposts a weekly Frolic column of seasoned romances. Finally, Sarah recommended London Hale's Talk Dirty To Me.Question 15: Carly from Atlanta is looking for “there’s only one bed,” historical edition (bonus points if they don’t have sex that time, but do later).Our recommendations: There are so many of these that we had a hard time answering. Yikes! But A Christmas Gone Perfectly Wrong is amazing. Later in Season 2 of Fated Mates, we'll read Devil's Bride by Stephanie Laurens, but the ohter one Sarah was thinking of was The Capture of the Earl of Glencrae Afterwards, we thought of The Duke Buys a Bride and Tycoon.Question 16: Shannon in Atlanta said, "Ghosts. I need all the ghosts. I’m regrading Lynn Kurland’s Stardust of Yesterday to see if I am still madly in love with Kendrick like 14 yr old me was. But I need more ghosts. For spooky season and for always."Our recommendations: So obvioulsy the best IAD book is Dark Needs at Night's Edge. But Halloween Boo and Hot Ghost might also be of interest. After recording, Jen thought of The Headmaster by Tiffany Reisz and Sarah thought of For the Earl's Pleasure by Anne Mallory.Question 17: Natali from Tampa asked for romances with "a sexy but serious body guard- saves heroine from her evil husband OR serious sexy body guard that is hired by father to care for wild heroine. And/Or sexy but consensual teacher-student relationship."Our recommendations: Sarah and Jen both liked The Professor by Charlotte Stein. Sarah also recommended The Unrequited by Saffron Kent. Bodyguards for some reason we didn't have specifics, but check out Sexy/Dangerous by Beverly Jenkins, which has a female bodyguard. Fallen by Rebecca Zanetti will work. But also, Jen is convinced that something in Lexi Blake's Masters and Mercenaries series will work.Question 18: Nisha wants books that are "bananas sexy."Our recommendations: Ice Planet Barbarians forever. But Brill Harper anything will work, and Jen especially recommends Altogether. Everyone on twitter thinks White Whiskey Bargain is super hot, and The Red is amazingly sexy. Grace Goodwin's Interstellar Brides series is also pretty hot.

We get to sit down (and fangirl a bit) with Chanel Cleeton to discuss her upcoming novel, The Last Train to Key West, her family and the devastating history of Cuba.

Laine and Meg talk about our interest in men in uniform and how it doesn't extend to a military kink, our aversion to bachelorette accessories, and how to talk about a book with no plot.

In today's episode, Amber, Natalie, Shannon, and Stacy are talking about books set outside North America. Books in this episode include: Åsne Seierstad, Two Sisters: a father, his Daughters, and Their Journey Into the Syrian Jihad Lisa See, Snow Flower and the Secret Fan Nicole Y.

Chanel Cleeton's two richly imagined dual time stories of Cuban America are break through best sellers, with the first, Next Year in Havana, a Reese Witherspoon Book Club choice. But Chanel's put in a full apprenticeship writing contemporary romance before she enjoyed “overnight success.”  Hi there I'm your host Jenny Wheeler, and today Chanel talks about the family history behind her books and how a note on a CIA file inspired the plot for her most recent book, When We Left Cuba. Six things you'll learn from this Joys of Binge Reading episode: Why Chanel switched from romance to historical fictionHow 'being a Reese Witherspoon choice' worked for herHow writing the book changed her appreciation of familyWhy she thinks 'luck' is an important factor in her career2019 - a great year for new booksHow law school 'drove' her to writing Where to find Chanel Cleeton: Website: www.chanelcleeton.com Facebook: @AuthorChanelCleeton  Twitter: @chanelcleeton Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/chanelcleeton/ What follows is a "near as" transcript of our conversation, not word for word but pretty close to it, with links to important mentions. Jenny: Hello there Chanel and welcome to the show it's great to have you with us.J Chanel: [00:00:06] Thank you so much for having me. I'm thrilled to be here. Meeting author Chanel Cleeton Jenny: [00:00:10]  I can see from reading the two Cuban books and looking online at some of your other work, that you might feel a little bit like one of those people who is now described as an "overnight success." Because the Cuban books have really taken center stage. The first one of them Next Year in Havana became a Reese Witherspoon book club choice. But you've done a lot of writing before those books. So it's one of those cases of "many years  work" to become an "overnight success." Is that right? Chanel Cleeton - author Chanel: [00:00:48] Yes. I had written about 10 contemporary romances before I published Next Year in Havana. So definitely I had been writing for a bit, but I still just feel very fortunate about how everyone's embraced the books and really; just been so supportive. Jenny: [00:01:03] Yes. You're a New York Times and a USA Today bestselling author. You've also got an impressive academic record. But if we went back to the beginning, was there a  "Once Upon a Time" moment when you decided that you wanted to write fiction? And if so what was the catalyst for it? Chanel: [00:01:25] I think law school was really probably one of the driving factors in me deciding to write fiction. I will be honest. I didn't really enjoy it very much and  realized it wasn't a good fit for me. It wasn't what I wanted to do with my life. And I started thinking about the things that I was most passionate about and while I'd never really considered being a writer I've always been a really big reader. [00:01:46] I mean there's not a time in my life that I can remember not having a book in my hands and I really just thought about how amazing it would be to have a career where I would get to work with books in any capacity. So I really just started taking it more seriously and I wrote a manuscript and was really fortunate that everything was able to come together. Jenny: [00:02:09] That's fantastic. You've mentioned you've written 10 contemporary romances and I think they're arranged in two sets of trilogies, aren't they? There's one called Wild Aces which is about men who fly airplanes. Then there's Capital Confessions and International Schools. And also one romantic suspense novel. So what made you decide to switch to do dual timeline historic fiction? Romance to historical fiction Chanel Cleeton romance Chanel: [00:02:36] I was really at a crossroads in my career as you mentioned, you know. I'd written quite a few romances and I was really thinking as a reader about the different types of genres that I enjoyed

In Episode 8 (the episode in which I have a really bad cold and don’t sound like myself!), Carla from @happiestwhenreading and I talk fitting in reading amongst our mom activities, reading goals, and tracking your reading! This post contains affiliate links, through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!). Highlights How we read so much as stay-at-home moms. Carla’s finicky relationship with e-books…and, the only time Sarah reads hard copy books. Why Sarah didn’t set a quantity-based reading goal for 2019.

I have loved getting back into a passion of mine that I’ve had since I was a small girl. But sadly, what I quickly came to realize is that I really don’t have a lot of local reading friends. As a way to connect with others who love to read just as much as I do, I started my “Bookstagram” account (@happiestwhenreading). This community has given me a place to engage in bookish conversations, and I can truly say I have made so many online friendships that I’m truly grateful to have.

Her passion for politics and history continued during her years spent studying in England where she earned a bachelor's degree in International Relations from Richmond, The American International University in London and a master's degree in Global Politics from the London School of Economics & Political Science. Chanel also received her Juris Doctor from the University of South Carolina School of Law. She loves to travel and has lived in the Caribbean, Europe, and Asia. Her book, Next Year in Havana, has been featured in Entertainment Weekly, Hello Giggles, and on NPR. You can find her at her website, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Goodreads, and Pinterest.
