Returning to the world of science fiction with the first in The Illuminae Files trilogy by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff - I found I couldn't stay away from their collaborations and I am sad that after I finish the third book in the series, Obsidio, there are no more. What happens when it seems as though the only beings talking sense after a planet is invaded by a violent and greedy corporation are a psychotic AI and two teenagers? Through medical files, IM chat records, illustrations and military reports we find out what Kady and Ezra do when their planet is taken over and, having lost everything, they have to figure out what's really going on and try and protect what's left of their lives. And then of course there's AIDAN... Featured Episodes Aurora Rising Skyward Featured Links Instagram Being Bookish Website

Today Catherine talks to Jesse about books for young readers with the "Science Fiction" theme. She talks about the following books: 10+ The Kid Who Came From Space by Ross Welford 12+ Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff 12+ These Broken Starts by Amie Kaufman and Meagan Spooner 13+ In the Dark Spaces by Cally Black 13+ Flight of the Fantail by Steph Matuku 13+ Na Viro by Gina Cole

On this episode, we discuss epistolary books, one of the prompts for Books & Bites Bingo. Epistolary novels are told primarily through letters, but they can also include diaries, emails, instant messages, transcripts, and even post-it notes. Prefer to read nonfiction? Collections of letters count for this prompt, too. Carrie shares some of her favorites.Our PicksTo the Bright Edge of the World by Eowyn Ivey is an epistolary novel that combines some of Carrie's favorite things: historical fiction, adventure, nature, romance, and a touch of magic. In 1885, U.S. Army Colonel Allen Forrester leads an expedition up the fictional Wolverine River in the Alaska Territory, leaving his pregnant wife Sophie behind in the Vancouver barracks. The book is written primarily in the form of Sophie's and Allen's diaries and letters.Pairing: Allen and his expedition team are so malnourished, they get scurvy, a severe form of vitamin C deficiency. If only they'd had citrus and herb tonic to sustain them! This concentrated tea can be served warm or chilled over sparkling water or tonic.Jacqueline chose the YA science fiction novel Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. It's the account of a Stellarcorp War in the year 2575 between two competing companies and the military. It has a little something for everyone, including horror and the romance between two high school students, Kady and Ezra. The story is told from the point of view of the survivors, military personnel, and the ship's computer through hacked documents.Pairing: Vegan Galaxy Cake from Vegan Doll House. Michael read Episode Thirteen by Craig DiLouie. It's a haunted house story that involves ghost hunters, and the story is told in transcripts of raw video footage, webpages, journal entries, emails, and text messages. This book compiles these documents in an attempt to piece together what happened to the cast and crew of the paranormal investigation show, Fade to Black.Pairing: Start off a night of paranormal investigation right with a hot, hearty bowl of bacon mac and cheese.

Look alive, Sunshine! It's time for another Book Club episode. Gen and Jette discuss The True Live of the Fabulous Killjoys: California by Gerard Way, Shaun Simon, and Becky Cloonan. It's a great conversation about storytelling, graphic novels, and dystopian aesthetics. Show notes: Killjoys may have begun as an idea for a comic book series, but it first came to life on My Chemical Romance's album Danger Days. The graphic novel picks up where that story leaves off. Watch the music videos for "Na Na Na" and "SING" for more Killjoys content and to see the where the aesthetic of the comic was born. The sequel to Killjoys: California is available in a collected edition called The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem. We came up with about five different essays we could write based on this book and had a great discussion about the use of colour. Gerard Way was cofounder of the DC imprint Young Animal, but both Killjoys and Umbrella Academy were published by Dark Horse Comics. For more graphic novel goodness, listen to Episode 21 where we discuss Shade, the Changing Girl by Cecil Castellucci. Our next book club book is Conversations with Friends by Sally Rooney. We'll be discussing this one in our first episode of 2022! Other Media Mentioned Neverboy by Shaun Simon Collapser by Shaun Simon and Mikey Way The Umbrella Academy The True Lives of the Fabulous Killjoys: National Anthem You Look Like Death: Tales from the Umbrella Academy by Gerard Way and Shaun Simon Mad Max: Fury Road Blade Runner 2049 Illuminae by Amie Kauffman and Jay Kristoff Don't forget to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, and Facebook or email us at hello@anotherbookontheshelf.com.

In questo capitolo extra parleremo solo della trilogia di Nevernight di Jay Kristoff, lament... ehm confrontandoci su alcuni particolari che abbiamo apprezzato o meno. Se non avete letto i libri, non ascoltate, a meno che non abbiate intenzione di non iniziarli nemmno. Se così, fate felice Ire ;) ma probabilmente non capirete nulla.

What is the best book you’ve read lately? In today’s episode, I’m sharing my favorite books of this winter - from December - February. Every quarter I round-up my most-favorite books and share them here. If you are subscribed to my YouTube channel, you may recognize some of these books, as they were part of my Best Books of 2019. If you like learning about great books and you are NOT subscribed over on YouTube, you are missing out! I share reading vlogs, monthly round-ups, and all kinds of fun bookish stuff in my Monday videos at TaraSwiger.com/YouTube. You can scroll down and see my whole Reading playlist or click on Videos to see my most recent videos. StatsI have read 16 books so far, and I will likely finish another 3 before the end of the month. 4 mysteries, 2 giant YA space operas over 600 pages, 3 personal memoir essay-ish things. All three of the memoirs were great, so I’m going to just quickly tell you, you should read them: Enough, by Shauna Ahern, who you may know as Gluten-Free Girl. I read her blog years ago, and so I picked this up when I saw it on the New Book shelf at the library. It is totally different and so good. Shauna tells the story of how she began to feel as if she is enough, after a lifetime of living by the girl code (criticizing your body, trying to be smaller), a traumatic childhood and trying to make money on the internet. I think anyone who is a woman or works online should read it. How We Fight for our Lives by Saeed Jones, is the memoir of a young black gay man growing up in Texas. There is violence, there is sexual content, and there is a really beautiful story of finding himself and figuring out his relationship with his mother. Thick and Other Essays, by Tressie McMillan Cottom, is a series of essays about her experiences being a black woman academic living in the world. It’s about thickness, of body and of thought, and explores beauty and twitter and class mobility. Read it if you like Roxanne Gay or Lindy West’s Shrill. Now, the fiction books: Such a Fun Age by Kelly Reid might be my favorite book of the year, ALREADY. A young black woman is babysitting for a white family and has a very racially charged experience in a grocery store. The story unfolds from that tense beginning, but the book itself manages to be fun and compelling and build a momentum that had me up until 3am finishing it. It’s really about white privilege and how “good” white people try to do the right thing while completely ignoring the black person’s agency and selfhood. This book is complex and real and although it sounds like it could be heavy, it’s actually just great fun. Illuminae, by Amy Kaufman is so weird I can’t believe it’s so good. It’s a kind of YA space opera with horror. I only think it’s YA because the protagonist is a teenage girl, who is saving absolutely everyone. But it’s a little dark and splattery for like, 12 year old Tara. It is really about survival and sacrifice and telling your own story. I’ve read the second book in the trilogy, Gemina, and I liked it almost as much. I’ve got the last book, Obsidio, on my shelf. The Poet X by Elizabeth Acevedo has been on my shelf forever, but I had been avoiding it because it’s written in prose. It took me a minute to sink into it, but when I did, man! It beautifully tells the story from the perspective of a young Dominican girl living in Harlem who is figuring out adolescence and her conservative family, while starting to write slam poetry. It is just the most gorgeous and most true book I’ve read about what it means to be a girl when you start to get unwanted male attention… but it’s not even really about that. Ok, so a few more books I read and loved but am not going to go into detail about: Underground Railroad by Colson Whitehead A Blade So Black by LL McKinney The Woman in the Window by AJ Finn.  These were a few really good reading months! I think I got to some deeper books, like the memoirs, because we didn’t have kids for a few of the months (in case you don’t understand how we only sometimes have kids - we’re foster parents). When you purchase the book using my links, I earn a tiny percentage, which frankly, goes to buying diapers. I get most of my books at my local library, so check yours out because libraries are amazing. Lots  of my faves came from the Book of the Month Club (referral link). In a few weeks I have my 300th episode - to learn how you can participate in my celebration, be sure you’ve joined the Facebook group - facebook.com/groups/taraswiger Thanks for listening and have a book-filled enthusiastic week!   Listen in at TaraSwiger.com/podcast297

Wir schreiben das Jahr 2575: Weit weg von der Erde, in den Tiefen des Weltalls, liegt Karenza. Hier leben Menschen in einer Kolonie und bauen illegal Rohstoffe ab. Auf Karenza leben Kady & Ezra, zwei junge Erwachsene, die sich den perfekten Tag für ihre Trennung ausgesucht haben: Die Apokalypse. Aus dem heiteren Himmel wird ihr Planet angegriffen, Menschen schreien um die Wette und alles fliegt in die Luft. Die beiden können fliehen und schaffen es in letzter Sekunde auf zwei der Raumschiffe, welche den Planeten verlassen können. Können sie die nächstgelegene Sprungstation rechtzeitig erreichen, bevor der feindlich Schlachtkreuzer sie atomisiert? Ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit beginnt. Falls Ihr jetzt dachtet: „Oh spannend“, können wir euch sagen: „Es ist schlimmer! Eure Herzen werden rasen!“, denn mit einem tödlichen Virus an Bord und einer beschädigten KI, scheint der Schlachtkreuzer noch das geringste Problem zu sein... Und mit dieser rosigen Aussicht, begrüßen wir Euch recht herzlich zur 5. Folge von Buchcast Mafia! Wir widmen uns heute Mandys absolutem Lieblingsbuch „Illuminae. Die Illuminae Akten_01“ von Amie Kaufmann & Jay Kristoff. Dieses Buch hat vor einiger Zeit einen unglaublichen Hype erfahren und „das Lesen neu definiert.“ Wie ist denn das zu verstehen? Das erklären wir Euch im heutigen Podcast, denn „Illuminae“ sieht nicht wie ein normales Buch aus. Wir sprechen, wie immer spoilerfrei, über künstliche Intelligenzen, Androiden, berichten von unseren ersten Science-Fiction Erfahrungen und diskutieren über epische Momente. Wir wünschen Euch ganz viel Spaß dabei! Und jetzt: Kopfhörer rein, zurücklehnen & kommt gut ins Wochenende! Erwähnte Bücher im Podcast: Folgen noch :) Folgt unserem Podcast auf Instagram: @buchcastmafia Mandys Instagram: @mandys.books Sofias Instagram: @sketchy.sofia Eure Freunde und Freundinnen gucken Euch verdutzt an, wenn Ihr Ihnen erzählt, dass Ihr den ganzen Sonntag nur mit Lesen verbracht habt? Es bedarf viel Überredungskunst, andere mit in den Buchladen zu locken, weil Ihr auch nach Stunden nicht wieder raus kommen wollt? Ihr könnt einfach nicht aufhören über Euer Lieblingsbuch zu sprechen, auch wenn um Euch rum alle nur noch die Augen verdrehen? Diese Probleme sind uns mehr als bekannt. Und anstatt nur untereinander stundenlange Sprachnachrichten auszutauschen, haben wir beschlossen Euch mit diesem Podcast zu bereichern. Und ganz nebenbei unsere Bücherliebe aktiv auszuleben. Wir - das sind Mandy und Sofia, zwei Studentinnen und Tierfreundinnen mit einem Leseziel von 50 Büchern pro Jahr. Hier erwartet euch also alles rund ums Thema Lesen. Von Fantasy und New Adult zu Thriller und Science Fiction. Von besser todgeschwiegenen Buchverfilmungen und ständig auftauchenden Liebesdreiecken. Vielleicht erkennt Ihr Eure Lieblingsbücher hier wieder, vielleicht stoßt Ihr auch auf Inspiration und neuen Lesestoff.  Stundenlang über Bücher diskutieren? Können wir. Machen wir auch.

Heiß, heißer, Dry. In dem dystopischen Jugendroman erlebt Kalifornien die schlimmste Wasserkrise aller Zeiten. Die Regierung erklärte das Befüllen von Pools und Bewässern des Rasens bereits zur Straftat und doch passiert im Juni etwas, womit niemand gerechnet hat: Kein einziger Tropfen Wasser kommt mehr aus dem Wasserhahn und auch die Supermärkte haben nichts mehr auf Vorrat. Es beginnt ein Wettlauf gegen die Zeit, denn jede Minute ohne Wasser, bringt die Menschen näher zum Tod. Was hier in einer Jugenddystopie erzählt wird, ist in Indien dieses Jahr schreckliche Realität geworden. Millionen von Menschen hatten kein Wasser mehr zur Verfügung. Was ist in Indien passiert? Was macht Wassermangel mit einer Gesellschaft? Wie wahrscheinlich ist eine Wasserkrise in Deutschland? Was kann man dagegen tun und wie realistisch ist "Dry" überhaupt? In unserem heutigen Podcast wollen wir all diese Fragen beantworten und diskutieren über  "Dry" von Jarrod und Neal Shusterman.  Erwähnte Bücher im Podcast:  von beiden: • "Dry" - Jarrod & Neal Shusterman  • "Illuminae. Die Illuminae Akten_01" - Amie Kaufmann & Jay Kristoff  von Mandy:  • "Die Königliche" - Kristin Cashore  • "Neon Birds" - Marie Graßhoff  von Sofia:  • "Entführt - Bis du mich liebst " - Mila Olsen  • "Die Bücherdiebin" - Markus Zusak  • "Die Beschenkte" - Kristin Cashore  • "Palast aus Glas: Eine Reise durch die Spiegelwelt" - Cornelia Funke  • "Reckless. Steinernes Fleisch" - Cornelia Funke  Folgt unserem Podcast auf Instagram: @buchcastmafia Mandys Instagram: @mandys.books Sofias Instagram: @sketchy.sofia Eure Freunde und Freundinnen gucken Euch verdutzt an, wenn Ihr Ihnen erzählt, dass Ihr den ganzen Sonntag nur mit Lesen verbracht habt? Es bedarf viel Überredungskunst, andere mit in den Buchladen zu locken, weil Ihr auch nach Stunden nicht wieder raus kommen wollt? Ihr könnt einfach nicht aufhören über Euer Lieblingsbuch zu sprechen, auch wenn um Euch rum alle nur noch die Augen verdrehen? Diese Probleme sind uns mehr als bekannt. Und anstatt nur untereinander stundenlange Sprachnachrichten auszutauschen, haben wir beschlossen Euch mit diesem Podcast zu bereichern. Und ganz nebenbei unsere Bücherliebe aktiv auszuleben. Wir - das sind Mandy und Sofia, zwei Studentinnen und Tierfreundinnen mit einem Leseziel von 50 Büchern pro Jahr. Hier erwartet euch also alles rund ums Thema Lesen. Von Fantasy und New Adult zu Thriller und Science Fiction. Von besser todgeschwiegenen Buchverfilmungen und ständig auftauchenden Liebesdreiecken. Vielleicht erkennt Ihr Eure Lieblingsbücher hier wieder, vielleicht stoßt Ihr auch auf Inspiration und neuen Lesestoff.  Stundenlang über Bücher diskutieren? Können wir. Machen wir auch.

This month Susan, Jeannette, and Meredith talk about how pressured they feel about reading classic books and how it affects their TBR and just maybe realizing it’s time to Marie Kondo their TBR. But they do cross a classic off their list with The Scarlet Pimpernel and discuss how it’s more about a relationship than who the Scarlet Pimpernel is.

Willkommen bei einer ganz besonderen Episode von bücherreich, einem Podcast größtenteils über Bücher! Ich blicke zurück auf mein Lesejahr 2018 mit Tops und Flops, Statistiken, meinen Lesevorsätzen für 2019 und einer Auswahl an Versprechern des Jahres ganz zum Schluss der Episode. Viel Spaß! Statistiken: Die beliebteste Episode diese Jahr war „Mein Lesemonat Juli 2018“ mit guten 300 Downloads, gefolgt von „Mein Lesemonat Februar 2018“ (260) und „Mein Lesemonat April 2018“ (255). Insgesamt wurden meine Folgen 33.657 Mal angehört. Das umfasst natürlich auch alle „alten“ Episoden und ist echt der Hammer für mich. Danke für's fleißige (nachträgliche) Hören! 62 Bücher mit insgesamt 24.676 Seiten habe ich 2018 gelesen. Im Schnitt sind das 398 Seiten pro Buch und 5 Bücher im Monat. Mit dem Ergebnis bin ich sehr zufrieden, denn es sind 8 Bücher und 8.277 Seiten mehr als 2017! Meinen Lesevolumen-Vorsatz aus dem letzten Jahr habe ich also erreicht. Noch ein paar mehr Details: Die Bücher teilen sich auf auf 29 Hörbücher (46,8 %; Vorjahr: 32 / 59,3 %), zwei E-Books (3,2 %; Vorjahr: 4 / 7,4 %) und 31 „klassische“ Bücher (50 %; Vorjahr: 18 / 33,3 %). Außerdem waren stolze 77,5 % (Vorjahr: 61 %) der gelesenen Bücher Rezensionsexemplare! Meinen Vorsatz für dieses Jahr, den Rezensionsexemplar-SuB abzubauen und sie möglichst zeitnah zum Erhalten zu lesen und zu rezensieren, hat also funktioniert. Ich gehe mit 3 Rezensions-Hörbüchern und einem Rezensions-Buch ins Jahr 2019... Englischsprachige Bücher hingegen habe ich 2018 so gut wie keine gelesen oder gehört (2 von angepeilten 6 Stück), was mich ein wenig enttäuscht. Hintergrund ist aber, dass mir das andere Ziel, Rezensionsexemplare nicht mehr so anzuhäufen, wichtiger war und diese sind nun mal auf Deutsch. Englischsprachige Bücher gibt es aber noch einige auf meinem SuB. 2019 werde ich ohne Druck auch mal englische Bücher lesen, aber ohne konkretes Ziel. Flops 2018: „Die 13. Fee — Enschlafen“ von Julia Adrian* „When Dimple met Rishi“ von Sandhya Menon „Woman in cabin 10“ von Ruth Ware „Das Licht zwischen den Meeren“ von M. L. Stedman „Wer andern eine Bombe baut“ von Christopher Brookmyre* „Escape Room - Nur drei Stunden“ von Chris McGeorge* Tops 2018: „Illuminae“ und „Gemina“ von Jay Kristoff und Amie Kaufman* „Flavia de Luce“ von Alan Bradley „Die große Sherlock Holmes Edition“ von Sir Arthur Conan Doyle* „Scythe - Die Hüter des Todes“ und „Scythe 2 - Der Zorn der Gerechten“ von Neal Shusterman* „Das Gold der Krähen“ und „Die Sprache der Dornen“ von Leigh Bardugo* „Das Wolkenschloss“ von Kerstin Gier* „Long Way Down“ von Jason Reynolds „Das geheime Glück“ von Julie Cohen* „Am Haken“ von Arnd Rüskamp* Meine Lesevorsätze 2019: 2019 habe ich mir ein großes Projekt vorgenommen: Nachdem 2018 das Abbauen des Rezensions-Exemplare-SuBs im Fokus stand, möchte ich 2019 den Bücher-SuB bzw. meine SuB-Leichen minimieren. Da ich mein Leseverhalten kenne und weiß, dass ich auch 2019 wahrscheinlich wieder 50-60 Bücher lesen werde (die Hälfte davon voraussichtlich Hörbücher), habe ich mir folgendes quantitative Ziel gesetzt: - Maximale Anzahl an Rezensionsexemplaren (Bücher): 10 Stück - Somit circa 20 Bücher aus dem Regal an ungelesenen Büchern möglich zu lesen - Maximale Anzahl an Rezensionsexemplaren (Hörbücher): 15 Stück - Somit circa 15 Hörbücher aus dem Hörbücher-SuB erlösbar Es wird sicher hart für mich, weniger Rezensionsexemplare zu bestellen, zumal viele tolle Reihenfortführungen 2019 erscheinen! Aber die Bücher starren mich schon immer vorwurfsvoll an, wenn ich an ihrem Regal vorbeigehe... Es wird also Zeit! Übrigens: Ich kaufe mir selbst recht selten Bücher und lasse mir auch nur selten welche schenken - da ich weiß, dass noch so viele ungelesene Bücher auf mich warten und ich zwar beständig, aber langsam lese und mein Jahres-Lesevolumen vergleichsweise klein ist (für die vielen Bücher, die mich interessieren...). Daher brauche ich mich keinem großartigen „Kaufbann“ für 2019 zu unterziehen, sondern reduziere eben erstmal nur die Rezensionsexemplare, die ich anfrage. Aktuelle SuB-Höhe: - Bücher: 89 - Hörbücher: 150 Auf www.buecherreich.net findet ihr Links zu meinen entsprechenden Regalen bei Lovelybooks, wo ihr euch die SuB-(Hör-)Bücher genauer anschauen könnt. Ich werde 2019 bei jedem Monatsrückblick auch ein kurzes Update zum SuB und dem Status des Abbaus geben und auch die Lovelybooks-Regale laufend aktualisieren. Außerdem fand ich die Leserunde 2018, die ich mit Anna von „Annas Bücherstapel“ zu dem Buch „Marmorkuss“ von Jennifer Benkau super, und wir haben uns für 2019 verabredet, folgende Bücher gemeinsam zu lesen/hören: „Nur ein Hauch von dir“ von Sue Ransom „Flawed“ und „Perfect“ von Cecelia Ahern „Unsterblich - Tor der Dämmerung“ von Julie Kagawa „Arkadien“-Trilogie von Kai Meyer „Partials - Der Aufbruch“ von Dan Wells „28 Tage lang“ von David Safier Zudem habe ich mich für eine Jahreschallenge angemeldet, die auf Lovelybooks stattfindet. Wie viele wissen, bin ich in der Gruppe „SuB-Abbau-Challenge Buchgesichter“ eine der Admins und wir denken uns monatliche SuB-Abbau-Challenges sowie in diesem Jahr auch eine Jahreschallenge aus. Dieses Jahr spielen wir Trivial Pursuit und sammelt die bunten Käseecken durch gelesene Bücher. Ich erhoffe mir von der Jahreschallenge neben Spaß und Austausch auch, dass ich durch die zu lösenden Aufgaben inspiriert werde, einige Bücher aus dem SuB zu erlösen, zu denen ich sonst vielleicht nicht direkt gegriffen hätte. Sehnlichst erwartete Neuerscheinungen 2019: Diese Bücher, grob nach Erscheinungsdatum sortiert, sind sofort auf meiner Rezi-Liste gelandet, weil ich sie unbedingt lesen möchte. Das lässt mein Rezensionsexemplar-Kontingent zwar ganz schön schrumpfen, aber ich bin mir sicher: Diese Bücher sind es mir wert! Ursula Poznanski „Vanitas“ Jason Reynolds „Sunny - Der Sound der Welt“ Hank Green „Ein wirklich erstaunliches Ding“ Hasnain Kazim „Post von Karlheinz“ Walter Moers „Der Bücherdrache“ Arnd Rüskamp „Windstärke 10“ Thomas Pletzinger „The Great Nowitzki“ Jason Reynolds „Lu - Wir sind Familie“ Sarah J. Maas „Throne of Glass 7 - Herrscherin über Asche und Zorn“ Ben Aaronovitch „Die Glocke von Whitechapel“ Jay Kristoff und Amie Kaufman „Obsidio“ Wenn euch die Episode gefallen hat, könnt ihr auf www.buecherreich.net in die Vorjahres-Rückblicke (2013-2017) reinhören. Wie war euer Lesejahr 2018? Besucht mich auf meiner FACEBOOK-Seite http://www.facebook.de/Podcastbuecherreich und erzählt mal oder hinterlasst mir hier einen Kommentar.

In the first full episode Stephanie and Matt talk about their first reading assignments, Killing Floor by Lee Child and Illuminae by Jay Kristoff and Amie Kaufman.

We discuss the sequel to Scythe and cannot maintain our cool. It's a total geek out. Neal Shusterman you are our hero. Amy suggests Renegades by Marissa Meyer. Molly suggests the Scorpion Rules by Erin Bow. Kim suggests Illuminae by Amie Kauffman and Jay Kristoff. Nathan mentions Grasshopper Jungle by Andrew Smith.

"I have a soft spot for killer AI's." WE'RE BACK! AND BETTER (we hope) THAN EVER! Are emotions stronger than nukes? West World, space zombies, and jump scares! Christy gets an error message every time she has a feeling! Lee is scared of clowns! We go down another Avatar: The Last Airbender rabbit hole! All that and more in this episode of Pine Reads Pod Reviews

Jay Kristoff has consistently topped the New York Times Bestseller list with his Science Fiction and Fantasy works, often using the genres to address real world issues of slavery, race, class divide and political injustice.Jay's latest series is LIFELIKE, a fast-paced action tale set in a post-apocalyptic world, questioning the ethics of giving life to robots and demanding they live to serve.In conversation we discuss the responsibility of building worlds; the value of sensitivity readers; how not to swear; and the power of science fiction to call for social change.Jay is the author of the Lotus War series, Nevernight series and co-author of the phenomenally successful Illuminae series with Amie Kaufman. Lifelike is the first in a new YA Sc-Fi trilogy.Jay can be found on twitter @misterkristoff 

“What are Disney and Apple doing with all that money?” What happens if you’re stuck in space with the person you just dumped? Matt Damon, Dracula, Hoth, and instant messenger! Christy is the kind of monster who uses the word “metatextual” in casual conversation! Lee might be going on intergalactic adventures with his ex! We get side-tracked into 1960’s sci-fi movies! All that and more in this episode of Pine Reads Pod Reviews!

In Episode 46, Heather and Bennett discuss "Illuminae" and "Gemina" by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff. They also talk about the sci-fi movies Annihilation and Arrival.

Inciting incidents: what they are and how to effectively choose one. Kristen, Cameron, and Caitlin discuss their own writerly inciting incidents (how they started writing) and then talk about they ways inciting incidents affect the rest of the story, specifically using examples from RED RISING by Pierce Brown, THE HATE U GIVE by Angie Thomas, ALL THE LIGHT WE CANNOT SEE by Anthony Doerr, ILLUMINAE by Amie Kaufman and Jay Krisoff, LAST STAR BURNING by Caitlin Sangster, and JURASSIC PARK the old and fabulous movie that Cameron has been fixated on for a few episodes now :) If you'd like to submit your work to be critiqued by the Literary WIP team . . . hold your horses. This is the last episode of the season, and we're going to be changing some things next year. Please stay tuned for announcments about how and when to submit. We're really excited about next season and can't wait to share! The submission featured in today's podcast (as well as tons of other writing tips and writing advice to help polish your first chapter so it's beautiful and sparkly enough to catch agent attention) can be found on our website: literarywip.wixsite.com/podcast Peace out, happy holidays, and good luck in the trenches!

In the second episode of DDGD, Heather and Bennett discuss the post-apocalyptic CW TV show The 100 (focusing on Season 3), their recent favorite books, and Netflix original series such as the very popular 13 Reasons Why. Other topics that come up this week: Glee, TRL, Super Nintendo, Voltron, Lost, Illuminae, Lexicon, Star Wars: The Last Jedi, Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego, and Bill Nye Saves the World (Note, if you hear barking in the background, it is NOT OUR DOGS.)

This month we're talking about YA space-thriller Illuminae. Maybe it's because the writers are Melburnians just like us, or the fact that B-Pitt has signed on to produce the film adaptation, but we have a massive soft spot for this book and we wish it had been around when we were teenagers. Join us as we discuss the word "chum", black box messages, and Jayden Smith's eyebrows.

Elena and Rachel are joined by Kim from YouthBookReview to discuss the YA SciFi novel Illuminae by Amie Kaufman and Jay Kristoff.

But she was familiar with the way of ideas, and she let it shimmer, looking away, thinking about something else.” Victoria Schwab (listen to her First Draft interview here) THE ANDROMEDA CYCLE, the new series coming from Amie and her co-author Jay Kristoff Stephanie Perkins’ blog post: Love Lists Kelly Link Sarah Rees Brennan

In this episode we discuss Space Opera and all the endless tangents. This is a LONG conversation (we almost split it in two, but we’re trying to catch up episodes to our current reading topic). We talk about losing our solid footing on genre definitions, defining the term “worldbuilding”, when re-reading books from your youth goes horribly wrong, wondering just what is up with those TV and movie tie-ins, misogyny infecting Sci-Fi classics (Oh, hello there Sad Puppies), the delight of scientists reading Sci-Fi, and so much more. Your Hosts This Episode Anna Ferri | Meghan Whyte | Matthew Murray | Amanda Wanner Space Opera We Read (or kinda): Recommended Retribution Falls by Chris Wooding (lukewarm recommendation by a reader who is deeply ambivalent about anything speculative, Sci-Fi, or Fantasy in nature) Rendezvous with Rama by Arthur C. Clarke (not spectacular but a slow-burn, exploratory read) Diving into the Wreck by Kristine Kathryn Rusch (difficult to like narrator warning) Ancillary Mercy (and the entire Ancillary Justice series) (HIGHLY recommended series) Accessing the Future: A Disability-Themed Anthology of Speculative Fiction edited by Kathryn Allan Lightless by C.A. Higgins Read Sassinak by Anne McCaffrey and Elizabeth Moon Knights of Sidonia, Vol. 1 by Tsutomu Nihei, translated by Kumar Sivasubramanian Space Opera edited by Brian W. Aldiss (Features stories from 1900 (!) - 1972. Most are from the 1950s) More Adventures on Other Planets edited by Donald A. Wollheim Stitching Snow by R. C. Lewis (Not so much Space Opera and not enough girl mechanic) The Year’s Best Military SF & Space Opera 2015 edited by David Afsharirad Did Not Finish Armada by Ernest Cline (read this Wikipedia article about a video game urban legend instead) Red Rising by Pierce Brown Use of Weapons by Iain M. Banks (would try another one by this author) The Star Dancers by Spider Robinson and Jeanne Robinson The Sheriff of Yrnameer by Michael Rubens  A Deepness in the Sky by Vernor Vinge (so long - for 900+ pages, would prefer to try the better known A Fire Upon the Deep, which was recommended by another group member) The Warrior’s Apprentice by Lois McMaster Bujold (recommended to us - ran out of time this month; try it as an audiobook?) Koko the Mighty by Kieran Shea (really enjoyed Koko Takes a Holiday) Other titles and media mentioned Mass Effect video games are totally Space Opera, especially if you read all the internal game encyclopedia entries like Matthew. The Mote in God’s Eye by Larry Niven, and Jerry Pournelle The Left Hand of Darkness by Ursula K. Le Guin (not exactly Space Opera but totally recommended) Ender’s Game by Orson Scott Card Starship Troopers by Robert A. Heinlein - Military Sci-Fi or Space Opera?? Space Opera by Jack Vance - An opera troupe in Space Red Spider White Web by Misha Nogha The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy by Douglas Adams (Have you not read this yet? It’s short - go read it!) District 9 movie Firefly TV series & Serenity movie & the Firefly comics (pretty much all recommended highly) Please skip Sassinak and read Elizabeth Moon’s excellent connected series set in the world of Paksenarrion (Fantasy not Sci-Fi), or at least read the three books of The Deed of Paksenarrion. All those zillion Pern books (Science Fantasy series) by Anne McCaffrey Dune by Frank Herbert (hefty but worth a read - recommended) The Martian by Andy Weir (about space but not Space Opera and definitely recommended) Transformers: More than Meets the Eye, Vol. 1 (comic book series) (recommended even if you don't care about Transformers. Really! ) Ascension (Tangled Axon, #1) by Jacqueline Koyanagi (Meghan mis-spoke and called this book “Ascendent”) After Man by Dougal Dixon (so cool!) Octavia’s Brood edited by Walidah Imarisha, and Adrienne Maree Brown Samuel Delaney  - We discuss Dhalgren which is not space focused, but Delaney has a few space books to try. Illuminae by Amie Kaufman, and Jay Kristoff (YA Space Opera - read before the month, recommended) A Confusion of Princes by Garth Nix (read after the episode, recommended) Links etc. OK Go Upside Down & Inside Out (music video shot in zero gravity) The review of Ancillary Justice Anna tried to read without being spoiled for the book The Wikipedia article on Space Opera bring up many aspects of the definition we discussed and is worth a skim, at least. Scientists read sci-fi and have opinions about it Read some stuff (here, here, and here are a few to start with) about Sad Puppies if you care about issues of diversity in publishing, book awards, and media more generally.

Any suggestions of your favourite instances of worldbuilding? Is bug punk real? Who else wants a “Ten Rules to Break When Dating a Space Pirate” from Sarah MacLean? Are Star Trek tie-in novels Space Opera? What’s the relationship between Space Opera/space-based Sci-Fi and the history of Colonialism?
