On this episode of the Simply Indie Podcast, we talk with Jordan Wilson about how a visit to a friend in California changed her career path from law to film, her time working as an AD, the festival run of her short film "Garden Spells", and the AD courses she teaches. 

On this episode, we talk to TWO amazing authors! Meet the New York Times bestselling author of seven novels (Garden Spells, First Frost), Sarah Addison Allen, a self-described master of "southern fried magical realism." She joins us to discuss her long-awaited seventh novel, OTHER BIRDS, which St.Martin's Press just released on August 30th, and which debuted at #3 on the New York Times bestseller list. The crew discuss character develpment, the craft of magical realism, the role that food and the theme of motherhood play in her books, and they go deep as they talk to Sarah about the tragic loss of her mother and how it effected her writing. On the second half of the show, the crew welcomes the USA TODAY bestselling author of six novels (The Hideaway, Hurricane Season), Lauren K. Denton who joins us to discuss her forthcoming sixth novel, A PLACE TO LAND (Harper Muse, October 4th). We hear all about the southern setting in her new novel, her strong female characters, sacrifice and sisterhood.

After years of silence, she finally resumed writing for the sake of mental health. Esme Iris, a homeschooling mom of five, spiritual life coach, and soon to be author, is on the show today. In this episode, we discuss how much ADHD is undiagnosed among women and what that feels like. She also shares when her writing didn't feel safe anymore, how she managed to start writing again after a long hiatus, and what that process looked like over time. And she talks about how a potential writing idea starts itching, how she makes time to write regularly, and how writing has made her a better parent. Esme also reveals what she enjoys most about magical realism. We also get the inside scoop on her forthcoming Spellbound Smoothies recipe book and Divinely Domestic, which provides housekeeping tips and tricks through the lens of spirituality.

Episode 12 comes to you this week. And we’re here to talk TBR. The specifics of what drives us to choose the next book off the stack! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each of us: a group of online readers that saves the day and all about audiobook “stories.” Next, we tackle what we are currently reading: some Capital W-Weird picks, some non-fiction, some YA. We’ve got a little taste of everything. We take a mini-deep dive this week into the topic of TBR lists. How do readers in general choose what is To Be Read next? How do we, specifically, choose what to slot into that coveted position? As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. This week we have a perfect Christmas gift idea (and some wonderful accompaniments) as well as a beloved curmudgeon book for almost every reader on your list.

Garden Spells by Sarah Addison Allen is a charming story about witchy sisters falling in love. This is for anyone who loved Practical Magic or Como Agua Para Chocolate, and is in the mood for a sweet, whimsical story about love in all its forms. Sorry, guys, no snark this time, just a lot of mushy goodness, and maybe some laughing through tears. 

Amanda and Jenn discuss Infinite Jest read-alikes, Muslim protagonists, horror, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book of the Month Club and Portrait of Vengeance by Carrie Stuart Parks.   Questions 1. I am trying to expand my perspective by reading more diversely, but my general disinterest in contemporary or literary fiction has been a major snag for me - particularly where African literature is concerned. I have tried to read Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi and Americanah by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie, but really struggled with them and decided to revisit them later. However, I have enjoyed genre fiction that involves African or African-American culture, specifically the works of Nnedi Okorafor and Tananarive Due. Can you give me some recommendations for African or African-American genre fiction? Thanks! --Quinn   2. I am a convert to Islam and I live in a small farm town in southern Ohio...not exactly to best place to find diversity, so I do not really get to interact with other Muslims. Therefore I turn to books. I’ve been trying to find more books that have Muslim protagonists. I've read The Reluctant Fundamentalist, American Dervish, and The Taqwacores. Beyond those, I've not had much luck. Any suggestions (the protagonist can be male or female) would be greatly appreciated! --Garrett   3. I run a book club which has no theme and includes women of all ages and from all walks of life. Our first choice was A Man Called Ove followed by The Poisonwood Bible and H is for Hawk. We like books that are not brand new so that we can get ahold of copies from the library (yes, we still use the library!) Do you have any recommendations of books that make for great group discussions? Thank you for your suggestions! --Leigh   4. Hi friends, I'm sorry to report I am in a serious book rut. I usually average 3 books a week and now I'm lucky if it's 3 a month. #librarianproblems I know, but I miss getting lost in a great read. I picked up Garden Spells after hearing you rave about it on the show and I think that might be the ticket: undeniably amazing crowd pleasing books that make you say "IT'S SO GOOD" in a rabid voice to everyone you talk to. I read tons of YA, but am not so into nonfiction. However, any and all genre fiction (for all ages) is welcome. Love the show and looking forward to your recs! --Christiana   5. Hey! My girlfriend read Infinite Jest last year, and she loved it. Since then, she has read everything that DFW ever wrote. Now, she's sad because she can't find anything that measures up. She tried Pynchon and Delillo, but neither of them really did it for her. Do you have any recommendations for someone who loves Infinite Jest? Thanks! --Ian   6. Hi! I really enjoy horror but have never found anything that really scares me. I would prefer horror that is more in the vein of American Horror Story than Lovecraft. I like the horror that is just on this side of being real. And very very scary. Thanks, --Sammie Paige   7. Hello! I love your show and hearing about the new books you recommend. I've been going back and listening to some of your older shows, but I didn't see anything that specifically relates to books about or related to feminism. So, that's my question, I think I've always been a feminist of some sort, but it seems to have peaked. I've never read any books specifically related to this topic, but I'm ready to dig a bit deeper. Can you recommend books to me as a sort of introduction to feminism? They can be fiction or non-fiction. I already have Bad Feminist, but I haven't read it yet. I am looking forward to your recommendations! Thanks! --Keia     Books Discussed Pre-Hispanic fiction by Spanish-speaking authors: The Heart of Jade by Salvador de Madariaga For Jennie, who wanted fish out of water stories set in Paris: Giovanni’s Room by James Baldwin and French Milk by Lucy Knisley For Sarah, who wants to introduce her Lonesome Dove-loving brother to more diverse books: The Good Lord Bird by James McBride, Old Filth by Jane Gardam, The Handmaid’s Tale by Margaret Atwood Stargate by Pauline Gedge Georgia Peaches and Other Forbidden Fruit by Jaye Robbin Brown The Prey of Gods by Nicky Drayden A Taste of Honey by Kai Ashante Wilson (Trigger warning: family abuse) Nalo Hopkinson The Kindness of Enemies by Leila Aboulela Salaam Reads G.
