Winner of the 2025 James Laughlin Award from The Academy of American Poets  When her grandmother died, poet Diamond Forde inherited a well-worn family Bible to remember her by. In The Book of Alice (Scribner, 2026), she retells the story of her grandmother's life through the framework of the only poetry Alice knew: the King James Bible. A Black woman born in the Jim Crow South, Alice joined the tide of the Great Migration when she made her exodus to New York City. She married, divorced, and raised eight children, all while struggling to define herself in an America that looks frighteningly like our own. Using found forms like recipes, a family tree, and a US Census Report alongside imagined psalms and scriptures, Diamond draws bold parallels between biblical narratives and the lived experiences of those often relegated to the margins of history. The result is both a heartfelt elegy and a new sacred text. Find Diamond at her website and on Instagram. And find host, Sullivan Summer, at her website, on Instagram, and over on Substack, where she and Diamond continued their conversation. Learn more about your ad choices.

In this NBN episode, host Hollay Ghadery speaks with poet Khashayar "Kess" Mohammadi about his new poetry collection, The Book of Interruptions. In The Book of Interruptions (Buckrider Books, 2025) Khashayar “Kess” Mohammadi has brought together a collection of poems written with scalpel-like precision. Infused with “pre-emptive violence” these poems mark the intersection of war, immigration, sexuality and history, with lines often placed at the crossroads of Perso-Islamic and Western thought. Moving between an Iran that is marked with “tulips from the martyr's blood” and Toronto, a city that is always screaming but where the author is a “ghost, anecdotal,” Mohammadi writes unflinchingly of the reality that faces them and others like them who straddle two worlds. But within this fierce collection there is also room for art, and for pleasure, and for words that invite us all with “gentle patterns of light against light against light.” Khashayar “Kess” Mohammadi (they/them) is a queer, Iranian-born, Toronto-based poet, writer and translator. They are the winner of the 2021 Vallum Poetry Award and the author of nine chapbooks of poetry. The Book of Interruptions is their fifth poetry book. Learn more about your ad choices.

In The Book of Trump: Chapter 36, Ghost welcomes retired Army Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch for a masterclass on warfighting, both kinetic and psychological. Using the Marine Corps' FMFM-1 Warfighting Manual as a guide, they explore how timeless military strategy applies to today's information battlespace. From Sun Tzu's principles of speed and deception to the art of “maneuver warfare,” Oak breaks down how Trump's leadership mirrors tactical command philosophy, trusting his field operatives, shaping the battlefield, and exploiting enemy gaps through narrative tempo. The two dive into the Revolution in Military Affairs (RMA), the rise of drone warfare, and how modern technology has transformed the meaning of conflict. They connect historical lessons, from Blitzkrieg to the Civil War, to Trump's 21st-century campaign of perception and persuasion. A sharp, strategic, and surprisingly philosophical discussion on how the principles of war reveal the playbook for peace.

In The Book of Trump Chapter 14, Ghost welcomes retired Lt. Colonel Oakland McCulloch for a masterclass on maneuver warfare and how its principles apply to today's geopolitical battles. They explore the history and evolution of maneuver warfare from its roots in the Austro-Prussian War to modern applications on the psychological battlefield. Oak breaks down how decentralized command, mission intent, and rapid decision-making cycles, the famed OODA loop, revolutionized military strategy and why Donald Trump has mastered these tactics politically. The conversation spans from tank warfare and battlefield deception to fifth-generation narrative warfare, with insights into how Trump's strategic patience and unpredictability mirror classical military doctrine. They also discuss the economic and political restructuring underway in Africa, the collapse of old-world alliances like NATO, the obsolescence of aircraft carriers, and the revolutionary impact of drone and cyber warfare. This episode is an essential deep dive into understanding the modern battlefield, both kinetic and informational, and why maneuvering faster than the enemy is more critical than ever.

Before Trump, before Russiagate, before the entire media-industrial complex turned into a weapon of mass deception, there was Deflategate—a prequel to the modern information war. In The Book of Trump: Chapter 4 - Narrative Seeding, GhostofBPH, Burning Bright, and Jon Herold break down how the corporate media's playbook was perfected on Tom Brady long before they aimed it at Trump. From fabricated science to a sham investigation, the NFL and its media cronies colluded to take down Brady in a scandal that eerily mirrors Trump's political persecution. But what they didn't count on? The rise of Barstool Sports—a decentralized, first-principles media outlet that broke ESPN's monopoly and set the stage for outlets like Badlands Media. Join us as we connect the dots between sports, media warfare, and the ongoing battle for truth. Oh, and yes—Peyton Manning was the NFL's golden boy, and no, ESPN still doesn't want you to have fun.

In ‘The Book of the Heart Girt with a Serpent,' more commonly known as Liber LXV, many parables abound which are instructive of Thelemic spirituality. But in chapter V we encounter a parricidal pomp of atheists. I'll look at Crowley's commentary and see how this passage exemplifies Thelemic thought, in the first of our episodes highlighting and delving into the Holy Books of Thelema.

As one of Sweden's most prominent music journalists, Jan Gradvall has a close and fond relationship with his nation's top musical export, Abba. In ‘The Book of Abba: Melancholy Undercover', Gradvall explores the love, heartbreak and connections between each member of the pop group, from Eurovision to beyond. He sits down with Georgina Godwin to discuss his journalistic career, his former role as head of the Swedish Music Hall of Fame and the possibility of the pop group coming back again.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Brewed from the dried leaves and tender shoots of an evergreen tree native to South America, yerba mate gives its drinkers the jolt of liquid effervescence many of us get from coffee or tea. In Argentina, southern "gaúcho" Brazil, Paraguay, and Uruguay, mate is the stimulating brew of choice, famously quaffed by the Argentine national football team en route to its 2022 FIFA World Cup victory.  In The Book of Yerba Mate: A Stimulating History (Princeton UP, 2024), Christine Folch offers a wide-ranging exploration of the world's third-most popular naturally stimulating beverage. Folch discusses who drinks mate, and why, and whether this earthier caffeinated drink with its promise of a different buzz and a more authentic, spiritual connection to place can find a market niche beyond South America. Folch traces yerba mate's odysseys across the globe, from South America to the Middle East and North America. She discovers that mate inspired the world's first written tango, powered early Jesuit and German nationalist utopias, ignited one of modern history's most devastating wars, and fueled Catholic conspiracies. And, Folch reports, mate is currently starring in puppet shows put on by Syrian dissidents. By tracing yerba mate production and consumption as they change over time and place, from precolonial Indigenous beginnings to the present, Folch unravels the processes of commodification and their countervailing forces to show how accidents of botany intersect with political economic systems and personal taste. The stories behind the caffeinated infusions we prefer, she finds, are nothing less than the story of how the modern world is put together. Learn more about your ad choices.

Every church needs to listen up! In The Book of The Revelation, Yeshua tells John that He “hates the deeds of the Nicolaitans.” Who were these people? And what did they do that was so terrible?

Who do you trust? In The Book of TRUST, I claimed that there are three entities you trust. You trust yourself, you trust God, and you trust other people. Trusting yourself is the one thing that determines your risk-tolerance level without having to trust anyone else. Trusting other people is what most of my work focuses on. But how about trusting God? Do we all trust God? Do we trust God to the same extent? To answer this question, I brought a guest to this episode. Mike Bronsky is a reverend. You will hear only a fraction of what I know about his life, and what made him a man of God. Mike is one of the only people in the world I know who has completely pure intentions. There are no games with him. He means what he says, and he says what he means. He takes a lot to heart. He helps other people as much as he can. He believes in God and helps others believe in God. So, I decided to ask him this question: do you trust God?

Are we being guided to extinction and if so, by whom? We are watching a world turn anti-human and we must ask why. In The Book of Enoch, the Nephilim are shown to have brought their egos to the forefront and with it, war, drugs, and culture. This war on humanity has never ended no matter who is in charge. What force guides humanity to it's own destruction? Deep inside secret societies like Freemasonry we find the prediluvian tales of the Watchers guiding the rituals. Are they worshipers of Baal invoking the Ghosts of the Nephilim? Is it inevitable that humans would develop computers and robots leading to our own subjugation by an AI god or has this been inserted into our consciousness? If you had access to private libraries and collections of archived materials only those initiated to elite masonic and quasi-masonic orders could get their hands on, what would you discover? Let's ask Frater X Frater X draws a parallel between the "unclean demons" or Nephilim in ancient times and the contemporary state of the world, characterized by war, conflict, violence, and societal challenges. The question of whether the "Ghosts of the Nephilim" still haunt humanity suggesting an enduring concern about the nature of evil and darkness in the world.

Today we are talking with author Carmen Boullosa, in and on-air live interview on radio from New York, New York all the way to Stanford, California. Born in Mexico City, and currently residenced in New york, Boullosa is a multifaceted writer, known for her prowess as a poet, novelist, and playwright. Her literary work revolve around the intricate themes of feminism, the interaction between religion, superstition and skepticism, and the reevaluation of gender roles within the rich tapestry of Latin American culture and hispanic traditions. With an impressive oeuvre of nineteen published novels, Boullosa's work also dwells in different periods, locations and characters, but with her unique and unmistakable stylistic imprint. In “The Book of Eve”, Carmen Boullosa reinterprets of the Book of Genesis, but from Eve's point of view, effectively deconstructing the patriarchal norms that have long underpinned our understanding of the world. From the origins of gastronomy to the domestication of animals, and even the cultivation of land and pleasure, Boullosa weaves a narrative that shifts the focus to the feminine perspective, while explaining the stories of the creation. “The Book of Eve” traverses the narratives that have shaped perceptions of womanhood for centuries with in most cases [...]

Episode 95 - Finding Joy, part 2 - HumilityFeeling joy is different than being happy. Happiness is found in the circumstances of our lives, joy is found in the way we live our lives no matter what the circumstances. In The Book of Joy, the Dalia Lama and Archbishop Desmond Tutu give us 8 pillars of joy. The second pillar is humility. It's about finding connection with each other and value and divinity within ourselves and others. Look at the pillar of humility through the eyes of a coach – why it's important, what gets in our way, and how we can move past the obstacles to developing humility. Are you wondering if coaching is right for you?

No one knows for sure. It's a mystery of modern science. Yet, it's one of the most profound questions confronting humanity. The study of consciousness, from research in biology, psychology, quantum theory, and parapsychology gives us some insight. But the true nature of human consciousness remains elusive. Join us as we explore this profound mystery and look to the world's leading experts, who are searching for the answers to this “missing link” in the new docu-film, The Consciousness Connection.Dr. Robert Davis is an internationally recognized scientist in his field. He graduated with a PhD in sensory neuroscience from the Ohio State University and served as a professor at the State University of New York for over 30 years. Davis has published over 60 articles in scholarly journals, lectured at numerous national and international conferences, and was awarded major grants by scientific organizations to fund research in the neurosciences. He is the author of two popular books: The UFO Phenomenon: Should I Believe? and Life after Death: An Analysis of the Evidence. He has discussed his work at conferences throughout the world and has appeared on many podcast and radio shows. Currently working with David Beaty producing and interviewing the world's leading experts, who are searching for the answers to this “missing link” in the new docu-film, The Consciousness Connection.https://consciousnessfilm.info/https://bobdavisspeaks.com/Claire Goodchild.From an award-winning artist, a beautifully mysterious guide to conducting seances and communing with the spirits in our conscious and unconscious lives.As long as people have lived, they have longed for wisdom and comfort from those who have died. In The Book of Séances, artist, author, and witch Claire Goodchild takes readers on a journey through the historical landscape of spiritualism and guides questers through safe practices for cultivating a connection with the other side.The Book of Séances details the four types of spiritual encounters, teaches us how to protect ourselves, and breaks down the different tools -- from spirit boards and tarot to dominoes and charms -- that are essential for opening a bridge to the afterlife. Whether conducting solitary or group séances, this book offers a way to safely glimpse beyond the veil.Through her evocative writing and singular art, Claire provides a comprehensive history of the séance, alongside an immersive guide to accessing and communing with the spirit world. The Book of Séances provides hauntingly lovely signposts into our own personal mythology as revealed through our conscious and unconscious lives.BioI started Black and the Moon in 2011 because I felt there was a lack of stylish and unique decks on the market, and I wanted my readings to be enhanced by the artwork that I love. I knew if I was feeling this way, other people must be to! My first project was the Antique Anatomy Tarot, which was completed in 2013, and it quickly became a staple in the indie market (now mass-market by Quarto). This love for creating has led me to design many more oracle decks such as the Arcana of Astrology - the first astrology based deck on the market, the Compendium of Constellations, The Oracle of Oddities, and my newest creation Memento Mori.Throughout this journey I have been lucky enough to have my work be featured in many publications like FLARE magazine, American Express, BT Toronto, Refinery29, Urban Outfitters, and Candis UK.

Chapter 33 - The Death EatersWormtail's robes were shining with blood now; he had wrapped the stump of his arm in them. "My Lord..." he choked, "my Lord...you promised...you did promise..." "Hold out your arm," said Voldemort lazily. "Oh Master...thank you, Master..." He extended the bleeding stump, but Voldemort laughed again. "The other arm, Wormtail." "Master, please...please..." Voldemort bent down and pulled out Wormtail's left arm; he forced the sleeve of Wormtail's robes up past his elbow, and Harry saw something upon the skin there, something like a vivid red tattoo - a skull with a snake protruding from its mouth - the image that had appeared in the sky at the Quidditch World Cup: the Dark Mark. Voldemort examined it carefully, ignoring Wormtail's uncontrollable weeping.Q1 - Jenn, how did you know about the tattoo?"You stand, Harry Potter, upon the remains of my late father," he hissed softly. "A Muggle and a fool...very like your dear mother. But they both had their uses, did they not? Your mother died to defend you as a child...and I killed my father, and see how useful he has proved himself, in death...."Q2 - Why does Voldemort call Lily a Muggle?Q3 - At this point, what is your initial impression of Voldemort?"And then I ask myself, but how could they have believed I would not rise again? They, who knew the steps I took, long ago, to guard myself against mortal death? They, who had seen proofs of the immensity of my power in the times when I was mightier than any wizard living?Q4 - Is this why Voldemort didn't die? What is he really talking about here?“You ask for forgiveness? I do not forgive. I do not forget. Thirteen long years...I want thirteen years' repayment before I forgive you. Wormtail here has paid some of his debt already, have you not, Wormtail?"Q5 - Wormtail gets a hand…have you ever seen this kind of magic?Q6 - Lucious was the originator of the Quidditch World Cup fiasco…did you expect him to be a Death Eater?The Dementors will join us…they are our natural allies…we will recall the banished giants…I shall have my devoted servant returned to me, and an army of creatures whom all fear.Q7 - What other creatures is he talking about?"And here we have six missing Death Eaters...three dead in my service. One, too cowardly to return...he will pay. One, who I believe has left me forever...he will be killed, of course...and one, who remains my most faithful servant, and who has already reentered my service."Q8 - Who is he referring to?"He is at Hogwarts, that faithful servant, and it was through his efforts that our young friend arrived here tonight....Q9 - Who is this?!"I miscalculated, my friends, I admit it. My curse was deflected by the woman's foolish sacrifice, and it rebounded upon myself. Aaah...pain beyond pain, my friends; nothing could have prepared me for it. I was ripped from my body, I was less than spirit, less than the meanest ghost...but still, I was alive. What I was, even I do not know...I, who have gone further than anybody along the path that leads to immortality. You know my goal - to conquer death. And now, I was tested, and it appeared that one or more of my experiments had worked...for I had not been killed, though the curse should have done it. Nevertheless, I was as powerless as the weakest creature alive, and without the means to help myself...for I had no body, and every spell that might have helped me required the use of a wand.... "I remember only forcing myself, sleeplessly, endlessly, second by second, to exist....I settled in a faraway place, in a forest, and I waited....Surely, one of my faithful Death Eaters would try and find me...one of them would come and perform the magic I could not, to restore me to a body..., but I waited in vain...."Q10 - What questions is this answering and leaving?Wormtail would have had me use any wizard, would you not, Wormtail? Any wizard who had hated me...as so many of them still do. But I knew the one I must use, if I was to rise again, more powerful than I had been when I had fallen. I wanted Harry Potters blood. I wanted the blood of the one who had stripped me of power thirteen years ago...for the lingering protection his mother once gave him would then reside in my veins too....Q11 - Does Voldy have the protection of Lily now?Dumbledore invoked an ancient magic, to ensure the boy's protection as long as he is in his relations' care. Not even I can touch him thereQ12 - What is he talking about here? Did Dumbly actually prepare?Chapter 34 - Priori Incantatem"We bow to each other. Harry," said Voldemort, bending a little, but keeping his snakelike face upturned to Harry. "Come, the niceties must be observed....Dumbledore would like you to show manners....Bow to death, Harry...."Q1 - What do you think of Voldemort and Harry's character here?"We are not playing hide-and-seek, Harry," said Voldemort's soft, cold voice, drawing nearer, as the Death Eaters laughed. "You cannot hide from me. Does this mean you are tired of our duel? Does this mean that you would prefer me to finish it now, Harry? Come out, Harry...come out and play, then...it will be quick...it might even be painless...I would not know...I have never died...." Harry crouched behind the headstone and knew the end had come. There was no hope...no help to be had. And as he heard Voldemort draw nearer still, he knew one thing only, and it was beyond fear or reason: He was not going to die crouching here like a child playing hide-and-seek; he was not going to die kneeling at Voldemort's feet...he was going to die upright like his father, and he was going to die trying to defend himself, even if no defense was possible....Q2 - What is happening to Harry and Voldemort as they duel?He concentrated every last particle of his mind upon forcing the bead back toward Voldemort, his ears full of phoenix song, his eyes furious, fixed...and slowly, very slowly, the beads quivered to a halt, and then, just as slowly, they began to move the other way...and it was Voldemort's wand that was vibrating extra-hard now...Voldemort who looked astonished, and almost fearful....Q3 - Is this how Ghosts are made?And now another head was emerging from the tip of Voldemort's wand...and Harry knew when he saw it who it would be...he knew, as though he had expected it from the moment when Cedric had appeared from the wand...knew, because the woman appearing was the one he'd thought of more than any other tonight....Q4 - Did you expect his mother and father to show up?Q5 - Did you expect Harry to escape?Q6 - What happened in this chapter?

There are so many things to fear in this world—water, choking, dark forests—and an equal number of things to obsess over—books, grief, things themselves. In The Book of Phobias and Manias, Kate Summerscale collects 99 such fixations, from the fanciful (hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia, a fear of long words) to the debilitatingly real (acrophobia, a fear of heights). No matter if dressed in Greek clothing (koumpounophobia, the fear of buttons) or bluntly named (social phobia), these obsessions account for many of today's most common anxiety disorders. But Summerscale's case studies, spanning 14th-century France to the contemporary psychology lab, reveal that our obsessions' historical origins—and our fervor for categorizing our differences—tell us an awful lot more about modernity than our evolutionary past.Go beyond the episode:Kate Summerscale's The Book of Phobias & Manias: A History of ObsessionListen to our previous interview with Summerscale about The Haunting of Alma FieldingFear of the future is strikingly dramatized in Dorothy Macardle's neglected Gothic tale The UnforeseenTune in every week to catch interviews with the liveliest voices from literature, the arts, sciences, history, and public affairs; reports on cutting-edge works in progress; long-form narratives; and compelling excerpts from new books.

The Gospel and the Children of Israel  Part 1:  All Have Sinned  -  English only.  In The Book of Romans, the Apostle Paul declares that everyone has sinned.  He supports this with a passage from the Psalms.  Yet the Psalm that he referenced is not talking about Jewish people.  Could it be that Paul made a mistake?  Do Jewish people need Yeshua HaMaschiach to find salvation? Recorded July 10, 2022.

In The Book of Revelation symbolism, is the clue to how the World will react, to the coming of Yeshua/Jesus. What will the world as we know it really look like. The prophecy holds the clues and signs.

Wonder at the natural world has inspired people and fuelled curiosity for millennia. The ancient Greek Theophrastus had interests that spread far and wide, from biology and physics to ethics and metaphysics. But although he was Aristotle's friend and collaborator, and his notes on botany inspired Linnaeus, his name has mostly been forgotten. The writer Laura Beatty's new book, Looking for Theophrastus, aims to rescue him from obscurity. The scientist, Suzie Sheehy, still feels a childlike wonder at the way physics seems to be able to describe everything – from the smallest subatomic particle to the scale of the Universe. In The Matter of Everything: Twelve Experiments That Changed Our World, she looks back at the people who engineered ground-breaking experiments, and the human ingenuity, creativity and curiosity, as well as luck and serendipity that propelled them forward. While physicists attempt to describe and define the universe, the workings of the human mind still remain a challenge to scientists and philosophers. In The Book of Minds, the science writer Philip Ball looks at what we know about the minds of other creatures, from octopuses to chimpanzees, and of the workings of computers and alien intelligences. By understanding how minds differ, he argues, the better we can understand our own. Producer: Katy Hickman

In "The Book of Matthew" Pastor Brandan Richardson reminds us that we can't save anybody, only Jesus can, but we have an important role in leading others to Jesus.

c Listen in as I read today's 101 Ways to Inner Peace tip from Dr. Hawkins teachings In The Book of Slides. I provide insights I've come across along the way on my journey to cultivating inner peace.I also provide insights into removing the blocks to align with true inner peace on a wide variety of intentions and topics.Some levels of "Inner Peace" you can aspire to calibrate as follows:1.       "Peace-Enlightenment" at 6002.       "Acceptance & Forgiveness" of anything, including yourself, calibrates at 3503.       Being "Neutral" about anything calibrates at 250. You really step into freedom when you let go of positionalities and the egoic need to be right (LOC 175) Each week I intend to help you put into context where higher levels of truth and power exist based on consciousness calibrations.Just because one thing is of higher consciousness than another does not make it "BETTER."  All levels of consciousness above 200 are positive aspect-oriented, constructive, and uplifting to all humankind's consciousness. Each level holds the energy of different ways of being and functionality.Levels of consciousness above 600 are spiritually enlightened levels of consciousness and not easily understood by most humans as we are not there yet.So, enjoy Your Weekly Dose of Higher Consciousness 101 Ways to Cultivating Inner Peace #9 & #10 and embrace the consciousness levels that draw you to your consciousness evolution.Here are some other resources:Many of the calibrations I share come from ConsciousnessCalibrations.comThe Mind Body Spirit Network: Our website that has been calibrated at 335 on the Map of Consciousness consciously created and curated content intend to raise your level of consciousness on a wide variety of topics and assist you to “Be the change you want to see in the world.”Professional Directory at The Mind Body Spirit Network that has been calibrated at 320 on the Map. Here are Links to Purchase Dr. David R.

In The Book of Revelation and Its Eastern Commentators (Cambridge UP, 2021), T. C. Schmidt offers a new perspective on the formation of the New Testament by examining it simply as a Greco-Roman 'testament', a legal document of great authority in the ancient world. His work considers previously unexamined parallels between Greco-Roman juristic standards and the authorization of Christianity's holy texts. Recapitulating how Greco-Roman testaments were created and certified, he argues that the book of Revelation possessed many testamentary characteristics that were crucial for lending validity to the New Testament. Even so, Schmidt shows how Revelation fell out of favor amongst most Eastern Christian communities for over a thousand years until commentators rehabilitated its status and reintegrated it into the New Testament. Schmidt uncovers why so many Eastern churches neglected Revelation during this period, and then draws from Greco-Roman legal practice to describe how Eastern commentators successfully argued for Revelation's inclusion in the New Testaments of their Churches.

The body count rises at Helm's Deep, but Gimli continues to be a comedy goofus in the midst of tragedy. Elves die, so we ask the question "what happens when elves die?" and dammit, we answer that question. Also: the relative dignity of characters in the Jackson movies vs. In The Book. Finally: Faramir at peak dickishness!

The word forgiveness comes from the Latin word perdonare which means 'to give completely, without reservation.' In The Book of Forgiving, Desmond Tutu calls forgiveness the greatest gift we can give ourselves when we have been wronged. However, most of us find forgiving others and ourselves to be one of the most challenging acts in life. Why is it so hard to forgive? How can we do so more easily, and what is the greatest gift awaiting us in this act? Can we forgive and forget when we are wronged?In this interview with Dr. Fred Luskin, Director of Stanford University's Forgiveness Projects for over 20 years, we'll explore these and other profound questions surrounding forgiveness. He is currently a lecturer at the Stanford University School of Medicine and the School of Business as the co-founder of the Wellness Education Program. He is the author of the best-selling books Forgive for Good and Forgive for Love. He has created a train-the-trainer program for forgiveness and has helped people recover from grievous wounds in Northern Ireland, Sierra Leone, Columbia and the World Trade Center.Stay with us and find out if the gift of forgiveness can bring you the joy that you deserve.karuna is a social enterprise with one mission - to make happiness accessible to all. If you believe that happiness should not be a privilege of the few, but instead a birthright of all, come join us.

How excited do you get when the name of a book is said IN THE BOOK!? Laura Marie and Jessica Marie get pretty excited. How many times does Laura Marie say " love that" in this episode? It's a lot. Come along with Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they jump right in to A Kingdom of Flesh and Fire and discuss how, maybe, “we” have become desensitized to monsters while becoming more accepting of raunchy sex immediately following a battle surrounded by guards who have advanced hearing... Daggers are flying, honeydew is in the air, and poor Kieran has to see, hear, and smell it all. "Join" ha ha Laura Marie and Jessica Marie as they revisit the world of Poppy, Casteel, and Kieran in preparation for the release of A Crown of Gilded Bones. Strong capable women. We love that. Spoiler warning: Sarah J. Maas universe and The Vampire Diaries Trigger warning: violence and sex *Thank you for listening to us!

While being a kid can be fun, adults are in charge. Have you ever imagined being the boss? What would you do? In "The Book of Beasts" a young boy discovers that he has the power to change the lives of others. This story is one of Readasturus' new favorites.

Sandra Ingerman is a beloved guest on The Soul-Directed Life. She has been teaching shamanism for 30 years. In The Book of Ceremony, she takes us deep into the heart of shamanism to create sacred rituals that open the beauty, wisdom, and potential in your life. These are not rituals you follow—these are ceremonies you create.

Late last season we took a look at Brandon's first novel and did some line-editing and critiquing. It was so much fun we decided that Dan needed to take a turn in the dunking booth. He totally gets wet. In the course of dunking Dan we cover beginnings, descriptions, character development, pacing, and viewpoint as we tear into the first couple of pages of this novel. Brandon and Howard argue a bit over stylistic approaches, and of course Dan doesn't get a say in things because he drowned. (Note: Dan does get a say in things, but mostly because he is not defending his old work at all.) Audiobook Pick-of-the-Week: I Shall Wear Midnight, by Terry Pratchett, read by Stephen Briggs Writing Prompt: Take an idiomatic expression and make it literal (not as a pun.) For instance, "the crack of dawn" as an actual crack in the sky through which dawn's light shines. Word That Is Not A Word But Totally Should Be: Discontiguity: [dis-kon-ti-gyoo-i-tee] - noun. A break in a series of things in continuous connection. A severance of contact. Word That Isn't In The Book, But Brandon Totally Put It There: Scrumptiously.
