Taking a few minutes away from recording Page One In Review episodes, Charles Adrian talks about a particular kind of convalescent literature.   More information and a transcript of this episode is at http://www.pageonepodcast.com/.   “Unlike wizards, who like nothing better than a complicated hierarchy, witches don’t go in much for the structured approach to career progression. It’s up to each individual witch to take on a girl to hand the area over to when she dies. Witches are not by nature gregarious, at least with other witches, and they certainly don’t have leaders./Granny Weatherwax was the most highly-regarded of the leaders they didn’t have.” from Weird Sisters by Terry Pratchett.   You can read about Terry Pratchett’s Discworld Series on Wikipedia here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Discworld   The first Page One In Review episode, which is Page One 157, was recorded on the 18th of March, 2020.   Ripley’s Game by Patricia Highsmith is discussed in Page One 76 and Page One 175, Germany by Neil MacGregor is discussed in Page One 177, The Cloudspotter’s Guide by Gavin Pretor-Pinney is discussed in Page One 27 and Page One 163, and Ghost Stories Of An Antiquary by M. R. James is discussed in Page One 36 and Page One 165.   Also mentioned in this episode is London: The Biography by Peter Ackroyd. Another book by Peter Ackroyd, Hawksmoor, is discussed in Page One 121.   And there are mentions of books by Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers and P. D. James, The Culture Series by Iain M. Banks and the Xenogenesis trilogy by Octavia E. Butler (of which Imago is the third book).   Other books by Terry Pratchett mentioned in this episode are The Colour Of Magic, Equal Rites, Mort, Reaper Man and Weird Sisters.   Episode image is a detail from the cover of Small Gods by Terry Pratchett, published in 1993 by Corgi Books; cover illustration by Josh Kirby.   Episode recorded: 9th September, 2020.     Book listing:   Small Gods by Terry Pratchett

I’m at the point in my Gender Journey(™) where I think I need to read some books by trans men that talk about the experience of being a trans man! Either memoirs or OwnVoices fiction would be cool. Especially interested in hearing from men who only figured out they were trans as adults and maybe identified as lesbian before that? Thanks! -Someone 2. Hello! I am looking for a fantasy novel where the protagonist is not a young adult. As I creep into my 40’s, I’m finding it harder and harder to relate to the tortured 20-something who has to overcome their Extra Traumatic Past to fully harness their power (here’s looking at you, Trail of Lightning, City of Brass, The Space Between Worlds…) I’d really love a book where the main character is confident in his or her abilities and already has a strong sense of self and good connection to others. Captain Vimes from the Discworld Series and many of Alice Hoffman’s characters fit the bill, but I haven’t found anything recently that has rung my bell. I love Naomi Novik, Jeff Vandermeer,  and NK Jemisin and am a fan of classic fantasy, urban fantasy, and weird fiction. -Brenna 3. Looking for newer fantasy or dystopian titles with male protagonist.  As a librarian, I’ve been finding it difficult to find newer titles for young readers, specifically male readers, transitioning out of Juvie reads into YA reads.  I’m often asked for read-a-likes for fantasy and/or dystopian titles with male protagonist, and I’m finding my “go to” titles are aging off of the shelves.  Specifically being asked about read-a-likes for Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Maze Runner, and The Brotherband Chronicles.  My “go to” titles were The Chronicles of Nick, Bartimaeus trilogy, and the Alex Rider series. I can find titles with female leads with no problem, but this doesn’t always appeal to younger male readers (they still want to ‘see themselves’ when they read.)  Is there anything you can recommend published within the past 2 years or so that can fill this void?  -James 4. I needed something to look forward to and am planning the trip to NYC I’ve always wanted to take. (Not sure when I’ll actually get to take it but imma be ready.) I’ve read so much historical fiction that takes place there, but not so much in modern day. Can you recommend anything that might give me some inspiration of things to see or do there that is closer to the New York I’ll see in the next year or so? -Brooke 5. I have had a little success in getting through working from home while “homeschooling” my 4.5 year old this week with audiobooks.  We have listened to the first two Ramona books by Beverly Cleary two times each!  What are some other chapter books where the characters are four or five years old that we can try?  I want to keep this crafting while audiobooking up and ditch the YouTube marathons we were resorting to.  Thanks so much! -Brooke 6. Hello! I have an oddly specific request. Lately I’ve really been into the Tomorrow When the War Began series by John Marsden and How I Live Now by Meg Rosoff. I’m looking for similar books: voice-y YA books in diary form where there is a disaster/war/other Big Problem and a group of teens are walking through the wilderness while trying to survive. I realize that’s incredibly specific but I’ll take as many of those elements as you can find in one book! I care a lot about the characters and relationships, and I’m looking for settings that feel pretty realistic – so, not a dystopia with lots of sci-fi or magical elements. I am open to historical fiction. (I have already read and loved Code Name Verity.) I’d like to avoid books with domestic abuse or sexual assault as a major plotline. Thank you!!! -Emily 7. This is specific but I’m looking for pregnancy books that are informative but also not just heterosexualy focused? Or out of date with ideals of women’s bodies and rights. Does that make sense? My partner and I are going to start trying for children soon via ICI and I have no idea where to start with pregnancy information. -Debra Books Discussed Something That May Shock and Discredit You by Daniel Mallory Ortbery / Daniel M. Lavery Sorted by Jackson Bird Man Alive by Thomas Page McBee (tw: child molestation, mugging, transphobia, PTSD & disassociation) Soulless by Gail Carriger The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall Want by Cindy Pon Beasts Made of Night by Tochi Onyebuchi Hey YA Episode: On YA “Boy Books” And Driving In The Midwest The City We Became by NK Jemisin Once Ghosted, Twice Shy by Alyssa Cole (When No One Is Watching) Princess in Black by Shannon Hale, Dean Hale, illustrated by LeUyen Pham Betsy-Tacy by Maud Hart Lovelace  Dear Martin by Nic Stone  A Boy And His Dog at the End of the World by CA Fletcher (cw: reference to suicide, harm to animals, reference to rape, use of gender reveal as a plot point) Like a Mother by Angela Garbes From the Hips by Rebecca Odes and Ceridwen Morris (rec’d by Jaime) See omnystudio.com/policies/listener for privacy information.

It's Convince Me to RE-Read this as our gallant host (or is he more of a Goofus?) is joined by Mary Osborn, who is a Terry Pratchett superfan. And I mean super. If you think you know a thing or two about the turtle and the elephants and the dwarves and the trolls and the Patrician and what have you, prepare to be schooled. But it's not just a trivia contest: Mary's here because of a deep connection to and profound respect for a body of work that straddles fantasy, satire, and deep probing of what it means to be human ... even if you're a vampire, dwarf, or little blue Scottish barbarian.

Katy and Kellie break down what they loved (Kellie) and didn’t love (Katy) about Moving Pictures – the next in the Discworld Series by Terry Pratchett.

  In today’s episode we discover how to tap into your innate gift that is “creative genius,” and why it is essential to your well being.  Creativity flows freely through every human being, yet we unwittingly place blocks on this flow of genius in response to the sting of criticism or belittlement we may have experienced early in our life.  These blocks act as a “defense mechanism” against future criticism, but their unfortunate long-term impact hinders our ability to simply enjoying the freedom of expression and its therapeutic benefits.  TOPICS DISCUSSED IN THIS PODCAST EPISODE: You were born a “creative genius.” Nurturing creativity is essential. Making a mess is actually less of a mess than we perceive. Work with your children to foster and encourage healing through creativity. Creativity is a coping mechanism; embrace it. Let go of the final construct and allow the creativity itself to be the goal. Creativity is a form of self care. Creativity is not just nice to have or a necessity; it is essential! JENNY CAVENAUGH-BOND SAID: “We convince ourselves that we can’t be creative.” “Creativity isn’t the end product; creativity is the process of creating” “When you start to realize that creativity is the process that changes everything.” “Don’t just write it down; write it down and then paint over it.  You change the story by physically painting over it.” “We never stop really working through our emotions. It’s never a done process.” “Instead of retreating into themselves,the kids are chucking it all on paper, they’re happy. . .” HEAR MORE ABOUT JENNY CAVENAUGH-BOND: Jenny Cavanaugh-Bond is a Mad Scientist, Mixed Media artist and Creative Mentor based in West Yorkshire, UK.
