For Ep. 173, Susie Boutry (@NovelVisits) joins me as we circle back to one of our favorite topics — niching down our reading into micro genres! In this special Circle Back, we revisit some previously shared micro genres from our two past Micro Genres We Love episodes and introduce two additional micro genres from a Patreon bonus episode not yet heard on the big show! We give examples that define each micro genre for us and share new books we've read that fit into these niches. Plus, we share books for that DIDN'T work for us. This episode is full of over 100 books for you to add to your TBR! This post contains affiliate links through which I make a small commission when you make a purchase (at no cost to you!).

In this episode Morgan and Isabeau dive into the deep end of what makes a romance a romance. Sure it's the beats, the structure and that all important HEA but...but...is there something more? Feyi is a young widow trying to bring herself back to life. She meets a handsome consultant whose dad is big in the art world, helping Feyi land an exciting exhibition on a tropical island. It's a picture-perfect romantic escape with artistic dreams realized—until Feyi finds herself thunderously attracted to the very last person on the island she should have the hots for. And wowza, does she have the hots! This book is steamy, confrontational, and insistent on its romance. It's not easy, but that's what makes it so different and worthwhile.

Join us for the penultimate episode of the season as we explore identity, gender fluidity, and the power of creative expression through the works of the inimitable Akwaeke Emezi. We'll be discussing the semi-autobiographical "Freshwater," the passionate romance "You Made A Fool of Death With Your Beauty", and the memoir "Dear Senthuran."Follow us on instagram: thestackedpodSign up for our newsletter: Stacked WeeklyProduced by AiAi Studios:www.aiaistudios.comhttps://www.instagram.com/aiai.studios/ Hosted on Acast.

MLT Ep 84 - September to October: Monthly Planning and Mindful Transitions Access my FREE Downloadable Workbook: "How to Start a New Month with Medium Effort and Mindful Fun." In this episode, we dive into my monthly planner once more, and explore the art of planning self-care for the upcoming month. We follow these essential steps: What is Known? Reflecting on what's certain in the month ahead. What is Unknown? Anticipating the surprises and uncertainties. Who Am I and What Do I Like? Exploring your own identity and preferences. By answering these questions, we craft a unique plan to align with the month's energy. For me, these answers led to the following plan: Reading: Delving into "Outlive" by Peter Attia, "You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi, "A Song of Snakes and Songbirds" by Suzanne Collins, and "Cassandra in Reverse" by Holly Smale. Play: Embodying a new character every day from TV, books, or movies, embracing their style, attitude, or outlook. Try: Committing to setting my outfit the night before for 30 days straight. Focus: Channeling my thoughts towards getting out of my own way, especially in parenting. Catch up on other episodes in the September Self-Care Series, including discussions on self-care personas and overcoming resistance to change.

In this episode, we discuss the book review of "You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty" by Akwaeke Emezi. We talk about the following key themes: Love and war: The book explores the idea that all is fair in love and war. We discuss how this theme can be applied to our own lives, and whether it is always ethical to do whatever it takes to get what we want in love. Platonic attraction: The book also deals with the issue of platonic attraction. We talk about how to navigate platonic attraction when you are in a relationship, and how to set boundaries with friends who may be attracted to you. Grief and love: The book is ultimately a story about grief and love. We discuss how these two emotions can coexist, and how we can find healing through love even in the midst of loss.

Hiya, book clubbers! This month, we read You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi. This is a book that flips the romance genre utterly on its head. It's been five years since protagonist Feyi lost her husband in a car accident. Feyi isn't ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. She's even started dating the perfect guy, but there's a bit of a problem: Feyi feels a deep thrill every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits.

Hiya, book clubbers! This month, we read You Made a Fool of Death with Your Beauty by Akwaeke Emezi. This is a book that flips the romance genre utterly on its head. It's been five years since protagonist Feyi lost her husband in a car accident. Feyi isn't ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. She's even started dating the perfect guy, but there's a bit of a problem: Feyi feels a deep thrill every time she locks eyes with the one person in the house who is most definitely off-limits.

We are "blazing through" the discussion of The Poppy War series by R.F. Kuang.  We are already covering part 1 of the second book, The Dragon Republic! We love a problematic but logical character, and also enjoy the back stories we are getting on some of the other characters. But before we get to that; Laura is hooked on a new author after reading the first of their work, and is in love with a walrus that's been making headlines. Hannah is possibly concussed after hitting a wall...literally. She loves what Girls5Eva is doing in season 2, but wishes a couple characters had more screen time. We also learn what is not Hannah's favorite flower.CW for the discussion on The Dragon Republic: Violence; PTSD; Self-Harm; Racism; Sexual AssaultMedia Mentions:The Poppy War by R.F.

“I had a dream about them. I have like these really cinematic dreams. And I woke up from this one. And I was like, this is a fantastic, messy little story, this is a love triangle that I want to read about. I want to—as a reader, as a viewer—I want to see this play out. And the only way I could get it to play out was to you know, write it.” Critically acclaimed author Akwaeke Emezi (Freshwater, The Death of Vivek Oji, and Pet, among other novels) delivers a page-turning modern romance in their fabulous new novel, You Made a Fool of Death With Your Beauty.

Laura has read two books that she considers her favorite this year and wants everyone to read them. Editing Laura is embarrassed by Laura saying "understanded" instead of understood (and hearing her brain fog out loud multiple times during the episode). Hannah is discussing her books in themes. This week's theme is books by Nigerian authors. Hannah is also gearing up to read a bunch of books chosen by Laura for Laura's birthday month. Hannah and Laura also plan a Doctor Who buddy watch. Then we cover the next section of A Memory of Light and we confirm that "this timeline totally holds up." Hannah has a moment of realization about her Elayne voice and Laura finally starts to question things...... during the middle of the final book of the series.Media Mentions:The Wheel of Time series by Robert Jordan and Brandon SandersonThe Wheel of Time series---Amazon Prime VideoOzark---NetflixCarry On by Rainbow RowellProject Hail Mary by Andy WeirThe Martian by Andy WeirArtemis by Andy WeirBabel by R.F.
