Our May (and April, and March!) Wrap-Up: Gems, Letdowns, and Harry Potter!Hey, everyone, and welcome back to My Sister's TBR Podcast! We're Stacey and Rebecca, and we were so thrilled to have you join us for our monthly wrap-up episode – one of our favorite times of the month. This time around, we're diving into all the books we read in May... and April, and March! We've got some hidden gems, some real page-turners, and even some bestsellers we just couldn't put down.Before we dive into the books, just a quick heads-up: our regular deep dive into our featured read will be in a separate episode coming out in a few days, so keep an eye out for that! There was also a little technical difficulties with Rebecca's mic, so this episode sounds a little on the “underwater” side. Bookish News!We did have some exciting bookish news to share, especially since it relates to our featured read: the Golden Trio has been cast for the HBO series! Dominic McLaughlin, Arabella Stanton, and Alistair Stout will be playing Harry, Hermione, and Ron, respectively. And get this – over 30,000 children auditioned! Incredible!What We Read!Now, for the main event: the books!Stacey's Reads:Stacey had a very busy March and April! She finished seven books in March, though two were fan fictions she didn't have the names for (obviously Dramione…). Her March reads included:* Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros: A bit slow, but "gut punchy".* Out on a Limb by Hannah Bonam-Young: A phenomenal five-star read!* The Only One Left by Riley Sager: A great book club pick, earning four stars.* Beach Read by Emily Henry: A five-star, "deadly, deadly book" – and the only one by her Stacey hadn't read yet!* Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone by J.K. Rowling: A no-brainer, obviously!April was just as packed, with eight books!* Love at First Psych by Cara Bastone: Three stars, didn't hit the same as her others.* Wild Love by Elsie Silver: Four stars, and Stacey is loving Elsie Silver lately!* Quicksilver by Callie Hart: A fantastic five-star book club read!* 1984 by George Orwell: A five-star, terrifying read that hits differently as an adult. Stacey highly recommends it for its relevance.* Call Me Maybe by Cara Bastone: Another great four-star from Cara Bastone.* Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas: Five stars, obviously.* Seatmate by Cara Bastone: Four stars.* Leave Me Behind by K.M. Moronova: A "huge f***ing letdown" and probably closer to a one-star read. Stacey was hooked for the first three quarters, but then it just really went off the rails. Her Goodreads review sums it up: "had me hook, line, and sinker until 85%. WTF was that ending?" May was a little slower, with six reads.* Fight by Sloan St. James: The cover looked fantastic – rugged man, chainsaw, tattoos! But sadly, it was more like a 2.5-star read for Stacey, despite the good description. The miscommunication was a killer, making it feel "so toxic". She won't be continuing the series.* Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez: A book club pick and a romance. While popular with the book club, Stacey didn't really like it. She found the female character, Samantha, difficult to like, which is a recurring theme with Abby Jimenez's female characters for her. While she liked Xavier and the insta-love, the excessive conflict was a letdown.* The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager: Stacey highly recommends this one, giving it five stars! She's not usually a huge mystery thriller reader, but this book had her hooked from page one, filled with anxiety and plot twists. It's a story of voyeurism, suspicion, and dark truths. If you're looking for a more "mature and refined" thriller than Freida's, Riley Sager is your guy!* First Time Caller by B.K. Borson: Stacey devoured this one, giving it five stars! It's a cozy, Sleepless in Seattle-inspired love story about a hopeless romantic and a jaded radio host. The daughter calls into a radio show for dating advice for her mom, and sparks fly between the mom and the radio host. So much good about this book, with great chemistry and a man who keeps a list of your favorite things!* The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins: A re-read for Stacey, and it's still a five-star read! Reading it as an adult (30-plus) hits differently than reading it as a teenager. The book does a better job at fleshing out Katniss's character outside of the games compared to the movie. If you haven't read it in the last 15 years, read it!Rebecca's Reads:Rebecca read one book in March:* The Boyfriend by Freida McFadden: Rebecca gave it three stars and described it as "meh." She fully predicted the plot twist, and it even had a happily ever after, which was bizarre. And she's picked up the pace for May:* Height by SenLinYu: A short story, which Rebecca struggled with. She gave it three stars mainly because it's a Dramione fanfic by SenLinYu. It just didn't have enough storyline and was "too quick". Lesson learned: stop reading short stories if you want more!* Dead Med by Freida McFadden: Rebecca had talked about this one on the mid-month episode. Originally published as Suicide Med, it was re-released with 20% new material. Rebecca rated it a two, finding the writing awkward and "corny and cheesy". She almost DNF'd it early on. * The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas: A four-star contemporary romance, and Rebecca loved the banter. It has fake relationship, office romance, one bed, grumpy/sunshine, and slow burn tension! She's officially off her "distaste for romance" ban!* Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets: The featured read, and obviously five stars! We'll be doing a deep dive on this in a separate episode, comparing the movie and the book, talking about new characters like Colin Creevey, Dobby, and Moaning Myrtle, and more about Hagrid's past! Rebecca will also share some stories from Harry Potter World!What We're Currently Reading:* Rebecca: Currently reading The Tenant by Freida McFadden, but is putting it on hold because she feels like she needs a break from Freida!* Stacey: Still reading Bloody, Slutty and Pathetic, but the repetitive use of "love" when Draco talks to Hermione is a bit excessive. She's also reading Queen of Shadows and Catching Fire, the second Hunger Games book.That's all folks! Don't forget to like, subscribe, and follow!

Will May 21st be the special day that we get some actual news?What's On Our NightstandsHere's what we're currently reading:* Dead Med by Freida McFadden (Reb)Medical school wasn't the pink stethoscope dream Heather McKinley envisioned, filled instead with relentless work and the grim nickname "Dead Med" due to a history of student overdoses, something Heather never imagined herself considering until a breakup and failing grades push her to her breaking point. The night before a crucial anatomy final, the tragic reality of Dead Med intensifies when gunshots echo through the halls, claiming the lives of Heather's classmates in quick succession, plunging her into a terrifying and unfolding crisis.* Bloody, Slutty, and Pathetic by WhatMurdah (Stace)As part of a controversial Reconciliation Act, war heroine Hermione Granger is forced to marry the Azkaban-tattooed war criminal Draco Malfoy, resulting in public animosity that masks Draco's secret longing for a genuine marriage with the equally traumatized Hermione, whose cursed scar from Bellatrix's attack flares up due to the Black family magic surrounding her, hindering any possibility of trust or forgiveness. However, when Hermione discovers Draco's blood can soothe her scar, a dangerous proposition arises where Draco is willing to trade his blood for her body amidst a backdrop of post-war blood purity politics, illicit potion dealings, Pansy Parkinson's career guidance, Malfoy family manipulations, Neville Longbottom's Death Eater hunts, a slutty Theo Nott serving as Draco's right-hand man, and Crookshanks loose in Malfoy Manor.* The Spanish Love Deception by Elena Armas (Reb)Desperate to maintain her fabricated story of an American boyfriend for her sister's upcoming wedding in Spain, Catalina Martín faces the daunting task of finding someone willing to travel across the Atlantic and deceive her entire family, including her ex and his fiancée, within a mere four weeks. Her unlikely savior appears in the form of her tall, handsome, yet condescending colleague, Aaron Blackford, whom she initially finds utterly irritating but reluctantly accepts as her best option, slowly discovering that his real-world persona might be far more appealing than his insufferable office demeanor.* Queen of Shadows by Sarah J. Maas (Stace) A book in the Throne of Glass Series* Say You'll Remember Me by Abby Jimenez (Stace)Samantha's initial infatuation with the seemingly perfect veterinarian Xavier Rush, whose god-like looks are only momentarily tarnished by his occasional foot-in-mouth disease, blossoms into an unforgettable date, only to be abruptly curtailed by Samantha's family crisis, forcing her to ask Xavier to let her go and cherish their night as a singular, perfect memory. However, the undeniable connection they forged proves too powerful to forget, suggesting that perhaps building a life and love together could surpass even their perfect, fleeting moment.* The House Across the Lake by Riley Sager (Stace)Seeking refuge from bad press, recently widowed actress Casey Fletcher retreats to her family's Vermont lake house and becomes engrossed in observing the seemingly perfect lives of her wealthy and glamorous neighbors across the lake, Tom and Katherine Royce. After saving Katherine from drowning, Casey befriends her, only to discover cracks beneath the surface of their marriage. When Katherine suddenly disappears, Casey's voyeuristic pastime transforms into an obsessive quest to uncover the truth, revealing unsettling secrets and a shocking reality far removed from the idyllic facade she initially witnessed, in a tale of guilt, obsession, and deceptive appearances.* Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets by J.K. Rowling (Both)Ever since Harry Potter had come home for the summer, the Dursleys had been so mean and hideous that all Harry wanted was to get back to the Hogwarts School for Witchcraft and Wizardry. But just as he's packing his bags, Harry receives a warning from a strange impish creature who says that if Harry returns to Hogwarts, disaster will strike.And strike it does. For in Harry's second year at Hogwarts, fresh torments and horrors arise, including an outrageously stuck-up new professor and a spirit who haunts the girls' bathroom.

Hi… I have not been taking our relationship very seriously have I. I'm sorry… I haven't called, haven't written, you think I haven't even been thinking about you probably. Well that's not true. If fact this is the 4th attempt at episode number 120. I can't tell why I haven't been producing, creating, whatever this is and at the same time I have a few really important-ish reasons why I haven't but we'll talk about that later… maybe. My guest is my good friend Larry Dorf. I would consider him a “super friend” isn't that in like the league of justice with the DC comics realm. Only we don't use the word “realm” anymore. Now we say “multiverse”, right? That's the craze for the last ten years… this obsession with the idea of a multiverse, from the 10,001 Marvel Comics movies to the animated Spider-Verse to Everything, Everywhere all at once, it's all a multiverse. Maybe this is why I don't do episodes anymore… I can't stay on topic for shit. Larry Dorf is a super-friend, that's how I digressed. Larry if you remember is a fancy (from my cubicle'd perspective) Hollywood writer, producer and actor. He and my other superfriends who he is partnered with have created Mike Tyson Mysteries for cartoon network and hit it pretty darn big with the Netflix show, “The Woman in the House Across the Street from the Girl in the Window” It did really well, I loved it and if you like a parody that's not in your face schticky like Scary Movie, not that it doesn't have a place, but this was more suspense and definitely more subtle but very funny and well acted and well written and yes I'm biased. We recorded this episode in the first week of June 2023 and here it is mid July and I'm just now trying for my fourth time to publish an episode. The writer's strike had already been going on for some time, in fact by the time this episode sees the light of day the actors union SAG-AFTRA has joined the writers and we may have to call Larry all over again. We talk about shows they are pitching or shows they were TRYING to pitch and the general process of pitching a show and how that was put on hold well before the writer's strike began We briefly get off track talking about TV to fall asleep to. That'll really put you on the edge of your ear buds so you don't want to miss that. Another thing is… I did not spend as much time editing this episode down. Will that make a difference? Who knows… but if you notice a difference please include it in all the virtual cards an letters that have been coming in by the thousands. I edited like the first 15 minutes and then said stop being so precious. It's just the four of us listening to this anyway. Let's see what happens. We start our conversation by trying to get Larry comfortable as I know he loves to spin around in office chairs and then I have to set him straight on the difference between an office for a TV show or movie… a production office versus an office in the real world where you and I live. I've worked in both and I can tell you… they ain't the same. CLOSE - I think there's something going on with Larry blocking certain things out from his childhood. Maybe we need to get his wife Sam on the podcast and dig a little deeper. Hope you enjoyed this episode. I've missed you. I have another summer episode to publish, hopefully it will be this summer of 2023. Stay cool, stay hydrated for God's sake stay hydrated and thank you for listening to the Modern Moron.

Welcome, To the second episode of having guest co-hosts! This week we are welcoming back Trena aka Crack The Spine. Who was formally a guest during the spooky season last year in which we read Horror Hotel! Today, we are going to be talking about ice-cold water, drinking, and that crazy plot twist. About The Book: This book takes place in Vermont which may or may not be the reason why I wanted to read this book. This book follows Casey, a recently widowed actress who takes refuge in her family Vermont lake house where she likes to spy on her neighbors. There she meets Tom and Katherine Royce, a glamorous couple who lives in the house across the lake. One day, Casey saves Katherine from drowning, and the two strikes up a friendship. The longer she spies on the couple the more apparent it becomes that their marriage is broken. When Katherine suddenly vanishes Casey becomes consumed with finding out what happen to her.

PopaHALLics #98 "Steve Was Wrong"In a rare instance, Steve admits he was wrong about the merits of a TV show. But which one? We also review "The Super Mario Bros. Movie," "Abbott Elementary," "Transatlantic," "Dream Horse," and take another look at "Wednesday," "Ted Lasso," "The Mandalorian," and the novel "The House Across the Lake."Theaters:"The Super Mario Bros. Movie." In this animated action comedy, plumber Mario must stop villain Bowser from conquering the world. With the voice talents of Chris Pratt, Charlie Day, Anya Taylor-Joy, Jack Black, and more.Streaming:"Abbot Elementary," ABC, Hulu, and other streaming services. Quinta Brunson created and stars in this mockumentary sitcom about a teacher at a poorly funded, predominately black school in Philadelphia."Transatlantic," Netflix. This "historical fiction drama" chronicles a journalist's quest to arrange safe passage out of France for more than 2000 refugees in danger from the Nazis. Gillian Jacobs, Cory Michael Smith, and Corey Stoll head the cast."Wednesday," Netflix. Smart, sarcastic, and a little dead inside, Wednesday Addams (Jenna Ortega) tries to solve a spooky mystery at Nevermore Academy in this "horror comedy" from twisted mister Tim Burton."Dream Horse," Hulu. This 2020 movie is based on a true story. A small-town Welsh bartender (Toni Collette) enlists the help of friends and neighbors to breed, sponsor, and race a horse named Dream Alliance. "Ted Lasso," Apple +, and "The Mandalorian," Disney +. Steve feels both these popular shows have lost their way a bit during their third seasons.Books:"The House Across the Lake," by Riley Sager. This best-selling suspense novel is set up like Hitchcock's "Rear Window": A drunken actress spying on her neighbors at a remote lake suspects a software entrepreneur is trying to murder his wife, a former supermodel, for her money.

One of our favorite things about The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window is that its long, ridiculous title is a perfect encapsulation of the genre it parodies, right down to the use of the words "girl" and "woman." The genre of course is the domestic noir thriller made popular in the past decade which we discussed last episode. But why is this genre so gender-coded? Why all the girls? What relationship does the genre have with other female-dominated literary movements, such as the mid-century gothic romance? And how do male-authored entries in the thriller genre, such as the works of Alfred Hitchcock and Stephen King, differ from this newest iteration?

We found the Netflix limited series The Woman in the House Across the Street From the Girl in the Window (which we will hereafter abbreviate as The Woman in the House...) to be utterly delightful. So we are diving in to this series with an overview of some fun topics we plan to discuss, like the nature of parody as commentary, the evolution of the thriller and suspense genres, and of course Rhonda is going to bring in Jane Austen somehow... It's going to be a fun time! --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/pop-dna-podcast/message
On today's 98th episode of The Thriller Zone, we welcome New York Times Bestselling Author, Riley Sager. Riley is the mastermind behind The House Across The Lake, a thriller with "A Hitchcockian premise that is given an exciting new spin," according to NYT Bestselling author, Alex Michaelides, author of The Silent Patient. On today's show, Riley and I dig deep into what makes a thriller such a page-turner, and--without giving away any secrets--discuss some of the tricks to crafting a novel people will talk about for months after its release. I met Riley at Thrillerfest in New York, where I heard him speak on a panel of authors. He gave solid advice to that crowd, and he shares even more solid advice on today's podcast. My favorite moment comes when Riley shares the nearly fantastical and thoroughly random story of how Stephen King came to read this book, and turn around to write a blurb that Riley says, "literally changed my life overnight."

#PodcastersForJustice New York Times bestselling thriller writer Riley Sager, spoke to me about why he publishes under a pen name, how to write Hitchcockian suspense, and his latest "The House Across the Lake." Riley Sager is the bestselling author of six novels, most recently Home Before Dark and Survive the Night. His award-winning first novel, Final Girls, was a national and international bestseller that has been published in 30 countries. His latest novel, The House Across the Lake, has been named a most anticipated summer book by People, E! News, PureWow, CNN.com, CrimeReads, and many others. It's been described by CrimeReads as "... a psychological thriller version of The Great Gatsby, featuring binoculars for more accurate across-the-lake spying, smaller gatherings for a shorter list of suspects, and a truly bat**** twist for more satisfying consumption." The House Across the Lake was inspired by Riley's "... own pandemic escapes to a cabin in rural Vermont [and] oozes with slow-burn Hitchcockian suspense before building to a finale that will leave readers reeling. " Stay calm and write on ... In this file Riley Sager and I discussed: The albatross of bad sales early in your career Why his process changes from book to book How to turn common genre tropes on their head What happens to his social life as deadlines loom Taking inspiration from classic film And a lot more!

During the discussion, Carly and CeCe remind us to lean into specificity in opening pages; the importance of plausibility as well as newer comp titles; the ‘movie trailer' trick for dealing with interiority; avoiding generic interiority; and advice for researching the speech patterns of characters from a different time period.After which, Bianca chats with Riley Sager, NYT bestselling author of The House Across the Lake, about having various pen names; pivoting as a writer; making setting a character in and of itself; showing vs telling, particularly in the thriller genre; the benefits of not giving too much away and making readers do the work; and writing an effective prologue.

Relaxing lakeside is not an option while reading Riley Sager's latest, THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE. His latest twisty, creepy, suspenseful novel takes readers away to a family vacation home in Vermont where actress Casey Fletcher can hide out after the loss of her husband and a very public meltdown. The arrival of a high-profile couple who bought the house across the lake, Katherine and Tom Royce, changes things for Casey in ways she'd never expect. Riley returns to the podcast to talk about the lake view that inspired the novel, heading out on tour for the first time since the pandemic, and why as the writer of scary stories he prefers his entertainment on the funny side. Olivia and Riley find they have something deep in common: a love for the Peacock series Girls5eva. THE HOUSE ACROSS THE LAKE is released June 21, 2022 by Dutton Books, and the author will be at Poisoned Pen in Scottsdale at 7pm that night. For more on the event: https://calendar.time.ly/9plshfqx/posterboard For more on the author: https://www.rileysagerbooks.com/ A Moment With Margaret: Margaret shares two books that have made a big impression recently, one a nonfiction leadership book, the other a psychological thriller. PERMISSION TO SCREW UP: HOW I LEARNED TO LEAD BY DOING (ALMOST) EVERYTHING WRONG by Kristen Hadeed is worth a read and discussion, according to Margaret. She also recommends JUST LIKE MOTHER from Anne Heltzel, that she describes as creepy and impossible to step away from!
