Summary: Hm, is that sound of screaming from the joy of a roller coaster or a stabbing? Today our hosts discuss books set in Theme Parks! Whether like Holly you're more drawn to the magic and experience of places like DisneyLand or you're like Devin chasing adrenaline on some of the fastest and most intense roller coasters on earth, there are books that can give you the thrill you're looking for.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (6:53): Holly discussed FantasticLand by Mike Bockoven, a horror book reminiscent of an adult Lord of the Flies. After a hurricane ravages the Florida coast and isolates FantasticLand, a theme park where “Fun is Guaranteed!,” employees agree to stay behind to make sure the park isn't looted and are promised to be paid to do so. Five weeks later, rescue crews arrive to find heads on spikes, bodies lined up, and employees split into warring factions. Holly's key takeaways were: The story fills in the gaps between the hurricane and what the rescue crews discovered through various POVs; a journalist interviews various people involved after the fact. Since the story is told through multiple interviews, readers must decide which accounts to believe, as survivors may be unreliable or have their own agendas. The novel highlights how quickly social norms break down when survival is at stake. Cut off from the outside world, the employees turn to tribalism, reinforcing the idea that without structure, humans can revert to their most primal instincts.  The theme park itself provided a unique structure and setting for such an intense plot; the factions of employees were named after the rides near them such as the Pirates, the ShopGirls as they resort to violence while competing for food, medicine, and social dominance in what had been a whimsical space.  The Heart (19:48): Devin discussed Hot Dog Girl by Jennifer Dugan, a YA romance following Elouise (Lou) Parker and her group of friends at their summer jobs at Magic Castle Playland, a run-down local theme park in their town. Lou suffers her junior year summer wearing a giant hot dog suit around the park, while her love interest Nick gets to be a Diving Pirate dating Jessa, a princess. The news that the park will be shutting down at the end of the summer, Lou takes matters into her own hands to ensure that she has the summer of her dreams - from saving the park to fake-dating her best friend, Seeley, so she can ultimately win her man. Devin's key takeaways were:  Magic Castle Playland is like any local, run down park that you've ever been to and it's nostalgic in the way it is so typical. A large portion of the plot is dedicated to Lou's increasingly desperate attempts to keep the park from closing and the park itself acts as a mirror and a foil for her own immaturity and growth.   The fake dating between Lou and Seeley in order to break another couple up was a challenging part of the story, especially when it's a bi woman doing it with a lesbian to win a cis het man. There's a stereotype of bi women (and men, but mostly women): they lead people on, they're greedy, they can't make up their minds, and this book fed into that stereotype.  The “young adult” aspect of this book really shone through. Nick and Seeley were mature, kind, and measured throughout but everyone else was very in their teenage years. Getting the story from Lou's perspective was at times agonizing; a blend of being so accurate to a dumb teenager's brain and Lou's own meddling and dramatic rhetoric.  Hot On the Shelf (36:51): Holly: Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy Devin: I Think They Love You by Julian Winters What's Making Our Hearts Race (40:22): Holly: Holly's Literary Magic Substack Devin: Mythic Quest on AppleTV   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.

Hello Libration Nation! I'm thrilled to welcome Sarah Glenn Marsh to this week's episode as we uncover the wonders of "The Last Ranger" by Peter Heller. A thrilling exploration of nature's beauty and human empathy, this book will keep you on the edge of your seat. And we've paired it with the citrusy and daring Lone Ranger cocktail—tequila, lemon, and a hint of rose—capturing the essence of adventure. Sarah Glenn Marsh has been an avid fantasy reader since the day her dad handed her a copy of The Hobbit and promised it would change her life. She believes we all deserve happy endings and is an author of books for everyone, including many young adult, middle grade, and picture book titles. She lives in Richmond, Virginia with her family, including one sweet daughter, one slightly dull sword, and the chaos of many pets, like a turtle named Muffin who she definitely did not bring back from any haunted swamp. We Could Be (Anti)heroes is her first adult novel and will be coming out Spring 2026. And hey, before you go—if you're loving Drinks in the Library, can you do me a favor? Drop a quick review, hit us with some stars, and most importantly, tell two friends this week. Sharing is caring, and it helps us keep the good times rolling.

Charlotte McConaghy is an Australian author living in Sydney with her partner and two children. She has a Masters Degree in Screenwriting from the Australian Film Television and Radio School, and a number of published SFF works in Australia. Her novel Migrations was her first foray into adult literary fiction, published in North America by Flatiron Books, and by Penguin Random House in Australia and the UK. It is being translated into over 25 languages and adapted to film. Once There Were Wolves, the New York Times Bestseller, is a romantic mystery about a biologist charged with reintroducing wolves to the Scottish Highlands in order to rewild the landscape and bring a forest back to life. Wild Dark Shore, the focus of today's show, continues her love of romantic thrillers set in beautiful, remote places, and explores not only what it takes to raise children in a collapsing world, but the impossible choices we make to protect those we love. Charlotte joins Barbara DeMarco-Barrett to talk about whether she comes up with the story first or the setting, what her research entails, why she chose multiple point of view narrators for Wild Dark Shore, how she knows when a novel is finished, revision, and more.

It's Daylight Savings and we are alternately miserable and happy about it. Which is a good reflection of the books we've read this week. We love them and not! Here's what's on the agenda: - "Wild Dark Shore," by Charlotte McConaghy — if you like one of her books, you're going to like this one. Hannah's a big fan. Nevermind the sleeping with the seals.  - "A Thousand Splendid Suns," by Khaled Hosseini — also, like "The Kite Runner," not a memoir. Sam was confused. Kinda miserable. Hope the U.S. doesn't wind up like this.  - "Lion," by Sonya Walger — she's "Penny" from "Lost," and here she is with an autobiographical novel. The lion in question is her father, who's a crazy rich guy.  - "How To Lose Your Mother," by Molly Jong-Fast — did everyone else know that Erica Jong was Molly's mom? Read this, regardless, because Molly can write like hell.  - "I Heard There Was a Secret Chord," by Daniel Levitin — an exploration of music therapy and why it works. Sam was already a convert, but you should read it if you're not.  - "Parable of the Sower," by Octavia Butler — after some confusion with how this dovetails with the Patternist novels (it doesn't), we come around to discussion why this novel is must-read. 

Broken Country by Clare Lesley Hall. Set in a small English farming community in the 1960s, this is the story of a love triangle which goes horribly wrong. Beth and Gabriel were young lovers whose lives then took very different turns and when they reconnect years later, a lot of things have changed. You know from the first page that someone is dead, and the weight of secrets which Beth and her husband Frank are holding becomes insurmountable as a murder trial looms and nothing will ever be the same again. Beautifully written and highly recommended. Wild Dark Shore by Charlotte McConaghy. Dominic Salt and his three children live on the remote island of Shearwater where he's the custodian of the world's largest seed bank. A woman is washed ashore in a storm, but her arrival can't be random as the island is so remote and it soon becomes clear she's come searching for something which the family may not want to give her. The isolation, the depth of these characters and the unfurling of the story is couched in some exceptional writing. This book is a miracle.

Host Jason Blitman talks to Charlotte McConaghy (Wild Dark Shore) about Charlotte's journey from writing fantasy epics to exploring real-world themes, environmentalism and human connection in her recent works, and the challenges and joys of depicting complex, authentic characters. Jason is then joined by Guest Gay Reader Bruce Vilanch who shares amusing anecdotes from his vast career in entertainment, including his experiences with celebrities and the most memorable—and infamous—projects he's worked on. Charlotte McConaghy is the author of the international bestseller MIGRATIONS, a TIME Magazine Best Book of the Year and the Amazon Best Fiction Book of the Year for 2020, which is being translated into over twenty-five languages and adapted for film, as well as the New York Times Bestseller ONCE THERE WERE WOLVES. Her forthcoming novel WILD DARK SHORE will be released March 4, 2025. She lives in Sydney, Australia.Bruce Vilanch is an actor (occasionally an actress), writer (occasionally a rewriter), and comedian (occasionally for money, often for causes). He has coauthored 25 Academy Award spectacles, winning two writing Emmys in the process, and has been nominated for seven more. In addition to the Oscars, he has cowritten many Tonys, Emmys, Grammys, People's Choice, American Comedy Awards, TV Land Awards, SAG Awards, and a ton of other pageants, roasts, tributes, and various trumped-up reasons for people to strut a red carpet. He has coauthored dozens of variety television shows and actually put words in the mouth of Cher. He's also a lyricist, scoring gold and platinum records for disco songs he wrote for Eartha Kitt and the Village People. And musical theatre geeks will remember him as the coauthor of the Broadway misfire called Platinum, which was revived off-Broadway for reasons that continue to mystify Bruce.BOOK CLUB!Use code GAYSREADING at checkout to get first book for only $4 + free shipping!

Welcome to Chapter 49!My guests are Britni Brecheen and Kathryn Lynn - two friends who are launching a new bookstore and cafe in OKC.Britni has worked in bookstores and libraries for 12+ years and is currently a homeschool mom of two. Kathryn's first job was in a bookstore at the age of 15. They have had many jobs in many places, but reading and writing has been constant, and for them, it all comes back to books.In our conversation we talk about their vision for the new bookstore and its place in their geographic community, but also the wider bookish community of Oklahoma City. We also get into what led them to want to open the store, the ups and downs of getting the store off the ground, and a brief interlude about time spent in an international jail. You're going to love hearing about the level of detail with which they are chasing their dream and their passion for books and readers.

“I found in nature that kind of the same appeal that I find in books which is: … they're both filled with these rich particularities and they're also … mysteriously universal.” Jennifer Ackerman's What an Owl Knows is a compelling and vivid investigation into one of our world's most beloved and mysterious animals.

Ooit waren er wolven van Charlotte McConaghy Duik met Lola en Suzanne in het eco-fictieboek Ooit waren er wolven van Charlotte McConaghy. We praten over obsessies, geweld, klimaatangst en - natuurlijk - over wolven. Wil je meekletsen met Lola en Suzanne? Laat het ons weten op Instagram, Twitter en Facebook en gebruik #RadioSavannah. Voor (lees)tips en fanmail zijn we ook te bereiken op info@savannahbay.nl. Lees Charlotte McConaghy Een wild en aangrijpend verhaal over de strijd van een vrouw die tegen elke prijs wolven opnieuw in de Schotse Hooglanden probeert te introduceren. Inti Flynn komt naar Schotland om veertien grijze wolven in de afgelegen Hooglanden te herintroduceren. Als wetenschapper weet ze dat wilde dieren de enige redding zijn voor het verwoeste landschap. Als vrouw hoopt ze op een nieuwe start. Ze is niet meer wie ze was, veranderd en gesloten door het leed dat ze heeft gezien. Wanneer een boer dood wordt aangetroffen en een klopjacht op haar dieren begint, moet ze haar angsten onder ogen zien: is de wolf of de mens het beest in het bos? En zal ze ooit weer menselijk contact kunnen toelaten – of wordt ze verslonden door de wildernis die ze wil redden? Vind het boek hier in de webshop.  ‘Vlucht' van Charlotte McConaghy is een roman van mythische proporties over trauma en verwerking, maar bovenal een schitterende ode aan de ongetemde wildernis die we dreigen te verliezen.De noordse stern vliegt het langst en het verst van alle trekvogels, en ornitholoog Franny Stone is vastbesloten deze te volgen tijdens de laatste migratie van hun soort. Het is een zaak van leven of dood, niet alleen voor de sternen – vanwege een massa-extinctie nagenoeg de laatste dieren op aarde – maar ook voor Franny zelf, die een duister geheim met zich meedraagt. Ze weet de raadselachtige kapitein van vissersboot de Saghani te overtuigen om haar van Groenland naar Antarctica te varen, de vogels achterna, met de belofte dat die hen naar zeldzame vis zullen leiden. Terwijl de Saghani en haar excentrieke bemanning zich drijvende proberen te houden in onbekende wateren raakt Franny steeds meer verstrikt in haar herinneringen. Hoe ver is ze bereid te gaan om haar verleden te ontvluchten? Vind het boek hier in de webshop.  De Radio Savannah theme song werd gemaakt door Guflux. Het logo is gemaakt door Rike Blom.

A major upside to the pandemic has been a falling back in love with the natural world as people, confined to their homes, see their local landscapes through reinvigorated eyes. Birdwatching, and the citizen science of the backyard bird count, is booming.   So close, yet so far, these enigmatic creatures inspire the awe and affection of fans, who passionately lobby for their bird of the year and diligently record millions of informational gems in birdwatching apps.  But the news is not all good. As scientists and amateurs document worrying declines in bird populations, from climate change and development, there's never been a more vital time to talk about what birds mean to us and what we can do to protect them.   Join this lively panel discussion, hosted by Ann Jones, presenter of the ABC's What the Duck?!, in conversation with ecologist Richard Kingsford, writer and birdwatcher Sean Dooley, and bestselling author Charlotte McConaghy, and you'll certainly be among friends. Find out why people love birds so much, how this love grew during the pandemic and why taking action to protect birds is more important than ever.   This event is presented by the UNSW Centre for Ideas and UNSW Science as part of National Science Week and Sydney Science Festival. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

“There's kind of an aspect of melancholy that I love as a reader… But I can't write a book that I wouldn't want to read… Although I am interested in just sadness and like a certain beautiful quality…I can't write books that I don't want to live in, and I don't really want to live in just a depressed book. I don't want to just live in a depressed world, there has to be more fire than that.” Lydia Millet — finalist for both the Pulitzer Prize (Love in Infant Monkeys) and the National Book Award (A Children's Bible) — joins us on the show to talk about her latest, Dinosaurs: A Novel, including how the story morphed while she was writing, illusions of normalcy, literal and figurative dinosaurs, how we talk to each other through books, and much more with Poured Over's host, Miwa Messer. And we end this episode with TBR Topoff book recommendations from Marc and Madyson.   Featured Book (Episode): Dinosaurs: A Novel by Lydia Millet   Featured Books (TBR Topoff): Prodigal Summer by Barbara Kingsolver Migrations by Charlotte McConaghy   Poured Over is produced and hosted by Miwa Messer and mixed by Harry Liang.

**BOOKCLUB DATE** Friday, July 29th at 6pm PST or 9pm EST at https://www.patreon.com/EarthToHumansThe very first book I read by today's guest haunted me for weeks after finishing it. I couldn't shake the reality of the near-future world that she creates, which feels as terrifying as it is tangible and close. The reality of a world without animals. I knew I had to bring her on the show somehow, and I'm so glad we were able to have today's conversation. Charlotte McConaghy is an Australian author living in Sydney and the mind behind two international bestselling novels, Migrations and Once There Were Wolves. Charlotte's books are sweeping, beautiful and haunting as they tackle issues related to the frayed and fragile relationship that we humans have to the natural world. Today we'll discuss both of her latest novels, the necessity of empathy and preserving hope in the face of devastating ecological and interpersonal loss. Charlotte will be joining us for our next Earth to Humans Book Club, which you can find more information about at patreon.com/earthtohumans.

Wir produzieren ein Reality Format zur Rettung der Küstenseeschwalbe! Warum? Das fragen wir euch, denn wusstest ihr, dass „…die Strecke, die Küstenseeschwalben in ihrem Leben zurücklegen, dreimal so lang wie der Hin- und Rückweg zum Mond.“ (Zugvögel, Charlotte McConaghy) ist? Selbstverständlich lassen wir euch mit dieser Dramatik nicht alleine, sondern nehmen euch an die kreative verspielte Hand, in dem Lena vom Schreibworkshop von Doris Dörrie erzählt und Gülsha erklärt warum Kreatives Schreiben auch für sie gut wäre. Da wir so fleißige und liebevolle Podcastbienen sind, verteilen wir auch wieder kompetente Lebenshilfe und positionieren uns zu der Lieblingsrubrik „I am a feminist but“ (Guilty Feminist). Bitteschön ihr lieben Ironies, eure Heldinnen.

An interview with Charlotte McConaghy about her new novel, Once There Were Wolves. The book is about the looming threat of environmental collapse and the bold and flawed humans working to avert it.

Wolf Haas lässt in «Müll» seinen Ermittler Brenner zu wilder Höchstform auflaufen. Simone Lappert erzählt in ihrem ersten Lyrikband von Abschieden, Aufbrüchen und Sehnsüchten. Und Charlotte McConaghy entlässt in «Wo die Wölfe sind» die vom Aussterben bedrohten Tiere in die freie Wildbahn. Schon zweimal hat Wolf Haas seine Krimiserie rund um den Privatdetektiv Simon Brenner beendet. Und trotzdem ist nun mit «Müll» ein weiterer Band erschienen. Darin taucht in einer der Wannen auf einem «Mistplatz», was der österreichische Ausdruck für «Werkstoffhof» ist, plötzlich ein Knie in einer Wanne auf. Und in diversen anderen Wannen auch der Rest der Leiche. Brenner, der mittlerweile auf dem Mistplatz arbeitet und nicht mal mehr eine eigene Wohnung hat, geht dem Fall nach. Sehr zum Vergnügen von Literaturredaktor Michael Luisier, der das Buch am Literaturstammtisch vorstellt. Simone Lappert löst in ihren «Gedichten und Gespinsten» die Grenzen auf zwischen Zivilisation und Wildnis – zwischen Mensch, Tier und Natur. Und auch die Grenzen der Sprache durchbricht die Autorin spielend. Literaturredaktor Simon Leuthold ist beeindruckt von der Frische dieser Texte und vom Spiel der Autorin mit der Sprache. Sie offenbart dabei ein tiefes Gespür fürs Menschliche, viel Raffinesse und Witz. Im heutigen Kurztipp stellt Annette König «Wo die Wölfe sind» von Charlotte McConaghy vor. Die Wissenschaftlerin Inti Flynn kommt nach Schottland, um Wölfe in den Highlands wiederanzusiedeln. Sie weiss, dass nur so die zerstörte Kulturlandschaft gerettet werden kann. Doch die Menschen dort sehen das anders als die Wolfsbiologin. Ein fesselnder Klimaroman, der die Frage stellt, inwiefern Mensch und Natur in Einklang gebracht werden können. Buchhinweise: Wolf Haas.

The very first book I read by today's guest haunted me for weeks after finishing it. I couldn't shake the reality of the near-future world that she creates, which feels as terrifying as it is tangible and close. The reality of a world without animals. I knew I had to bring her on the show somehow, and I'm so glad we were able to have today's conversation. Charlotte McConaghy is an Australian author living in Sydney and the mind behind two international bestselling novels, Migrations and Once There Were Wolves. Charlotte's books are sweeping, beautiful and haunting as they tackle issues related to the frayed and fragile relationship that we humans have to the natural world. Today we'll discuss both of her latest novels, the necessity of empathy and preserving hope in the face of devastating ecological and interpersonal loss. Charlotte will be joining us for our next Earth to Humans Book Club, which you can find more information about at patreon.com/earthtohumans.

Biologist Inti Flynn returns to Scotland with her twin sister Aggie on a quest to reintroduce fourteen grey wolves to the remote Highlands. Facing opposition from the local farmers, Inti's project becomes increasingly challenging. And then a local farmer turns up dead.

Franny Stone has always been the kind of woman who is able to love but unable to stay. Leaving behind everything but her research gear, she arrives in Greenland with a singular purpose: to follow the last Arctic terns in the world on what might be their final migration to Antarctica. Franny talks her way onto a fishing boat, and she and the crew set sail, traveling ever further from shore and safety. But as Franny's history begins to unspool—a passionate love affair, an absent family, a devastating crime—it becomes clear that she is chasing more than just the birds. When Franny's dark secrets catch up with her, how much is she willing to risk for one more chance at redemption? Epic and intimate, heartbreaking and galvanizing, Charlotte McConaghy's Migrations is an ode to a disappearing world and a breathtaking page-turner about the possibility of hope against all odds. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/pbliving/support

Instead, it bears within it an argument about the possibility of change. Recognizing the presence of other ways of being, of other minds and presences enlarges us, affording us a glimpse of the unknowable.” ―The Sydney Morning Herald “Far more than an old wolves' tale. Instead, it illustrates what it's like to be an outsider―from both a human and animal perspective―and the level of healing and acceptance it takes from within to be accepted and to accept yourself.” ―Electric Literature “The Australian author made waves with last summer's Migrations, a meditation on climate change and loneliness, and returns with a new story set in the Scottish Highlands, where two twin sisters join a team attempting to reintroduce a pack of wolves to their natural surroundings.” ―Entertainment Weekly --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Harlem Shuffle was the result. Also, Marion Frith's timely debut Here In the After about an Australian soldier who served in Afghanistan and Charlotte McConaghy on Once There Were Wolves, about rewilding the Scottish highlands.

Saskia Maarleveld narrates Charlotte McConaghy's novel, a paean to the majesty of wolves. Host Jo Reed and AudioFile's Michele Cobb discuss Saskia's skills with enlivening the characters, Scottish and Australian both, who inhabit this emotionally heavy and intriguing tale. Head biologist Inti Flynn is an Australian scientist with touch synesthesia, a sensory disorder that causes her to feel any pain she witnesses.

A classic work of military strategy, On War sets forth the theories and tactics of Carl von Clausewitz, a distinguished Prussian general who was notable for his roles in the French Revolutionary and Napoleonic Wars. The book covers a broad range of topics, including weapons, terrain, troops, and leadership, as well as the importance of defense over offence, the balance of power, and the subordination of war to politics. Praised for its timeless insights, Clausewitz's treatise is often compared to the work of Machiavelli and Sun Tzu, and remains relevant to military leaders today. Narrated by: David Timson.

In this episode, host Daniel Raimi talks with Hannah Druckenmiller, a new fellow at Resources for the Future (RFF). This is the second part of a two-part series that introduces new RFF fellows, and Druckenmiller is another welcome addition to RFF and to Resources Radio. Druckenmiller discusses her fascinating paper that estimates the value of forests—not just in the marketplace, but for society. She and Raimi also talk about a project she's involved in that's using millions of photographs from the 1950s through the 1990s to construct what are essentially satellite images of the developing world, but from before satellite images even existed.

The Pandemic And American Hunger / Beyond The Headlines / Ghanaian Climate Leader Wins Goldman Prize / Troubles For Science Research In The Pandemic / The Road To Darwin / Migrations: A Powerful Novel About A World Losing Life / BirdNote®: What In The World Is A Hoopoe? The 2020 novel Migrations is set in a future world where polar bears, chimpanzees and wolves are extinct, though not all is lost. For the novel's protagonist, this mass extinction is personal, sparking her perilous journey to follow what might be the very last migration of the Arctic Tern from pole to pole. Also, the coronavirus pandemic has exposed the perilous economic state of many households in America, with one in four U.S. households experiencing food insecurity in 2020 despite an abundance of food overall. And we talk with a Ghanaian environmental activist whose grassroots youth campaign helped stop a coal plant that would have threatened a coastal fishing community and the climate. He's a recipient of the 2020 "Green Nobel", the Goldman Environmental Prize. Those stories and more in this episode of Living on Earth from PRX.

Young adult novelist McConaghy (the Chronicles of Kaya series) makes her adult debut with the clunky chronicle of Franny Stone, a troubled woman who follows a flock of endangered Arctic terns on what is believed to be their final migration home. Franny’s mother, who vanished when Franny was seven, warned her that women in their family are unable to resist the urge to wander. While working at a university in Galway, she meets ornithologist Niall Lynch, who immediately declares they’ll spend their lives together, and they implausibly marry. Unfortunately, Franny’s overwhelming desire to travel, her sorrow over their stillborn daughter, and a sleepwalking episode in which she chokes Niall drive a wedge in their marriage. Niall had always longed to track the terns, and Franny does so by convincing a fishing boat captain that she can help him find fish in exchange for transportation. Despite the ragtag crew’s initial distrust of Franny, she becomes part of the team. McConaghy divulges more about Franny’s dark past as she writes Niall letters and reflects on their relationship, as well as the true nature of her quest. While McConaghy’s plot is engaging, her writing can be a heavy-handed distraction (“out flies my soul, sucked through my pores”). Lovers of ornithology and intense drama will find what they need in this uneven tale
