Littérature étrangère de Gorian Delpâture : « The Westing Game » d'Ellen Raskin (Monsieur Toussaint Louverture). Sam Westing, le richissime magnat du papier, est mort, et en guise de funérailles, ses proches sont invités à jouer à un jeu macabre : découvrir lequel d'entre eux l'a assassiné et ainsi empocher l'héritage. Parmi eux, un athlète rapide comme l'éclair, une secrétaire mythomane, un bookmaker, un poseur de bombes, et une erreur… quelqu'un qui n'aurait jamais dû être là. Enfin, il y a Turtle Wexler, tradeuse en herbe particulièrement irritable, surtout en ce qui concerne sa tresse. Obligés de former d'improbables duos pour résoudre le mystère et empocher le pactole, tous devront se creuser les méninges pour décrypter les indices sans rien laisser filtrer. Mais dans ce jeu de dupes, rien n'est vraiment ce qu'il semble être, et chaque participant a ses petits secrets. Déchiffrez les énigmes et accompagnez Turtle dans sa quête de la vérité, découvrez ce qui se cache derrière les façades étincelantes des Tours du Soleil Couchant et les sourires de ses locataires. Faux-semblants et mensonges s'entrecroisent pour nous dévoiler des êtres en vérité très attachants. Dans la lignée d'Agatha Christie, le roman inédit d'Ellen Raskin, est un bijou intemporel qui a autant inspiré Gone Girl de Gillian Flynn ou The Inheritance Games de Jennifer Lynn Barnes, que le film À Couteaux Tirés.

(Genesis 49:1-7) Jacob gathers his Sons and give them...A blessing? A curse? A prophecy? Whatever it is, it will shape the generations of Israel forever.

A microphone, a laptop, a YA novel, a notepad... these aren't clues to your next Tobias Hawthorne puzzle, instead it's time once again for Laura and Meggie to bid adieu to their 15th season: The Inheritance Games. The first book graced bookshelves in 2020 and just a few short years later, your hosts dived in and couldn't get enough of the twists, the turns, and talking about the ever present love triangle between Avery, Jameson, and Grayson. Are we satisfied? Is everything really solved? Let's discuss. 

Gather round ye' listener! For another tale of puzzles, riddles, deception, and love triangle! Laura and Meggie are back at the mic to discuss the second Inheritance Games novel, The Hawthorne Legacy.  Xander's puzzle left from Tobias has finally revealed itself and now it's time to find the Hawthorne uncle that everyone thought was dead. Can the Hawthorne gang work together to find the answers their looking for? 

Today I am chatting with my friend and author Victoria Koops about The Lies We Conjure by Sarah Henning. If you love magic, witches, The Inheritance Games, murder mysteries, and treasure hunts, this book is perfect for you! Take a listen as Victoria and I take a deep dive into all things magical and witchy! We chat about the characters, plot, witches, magic, scavenger hunts, murder, how our personalities relate to the lead characters, Renaissance festivals, and so much more! We had so much fun chatting about this fantastic book and I know you'll enjoy listening.  A little about The Lies We Conjure: Ruby and her sister, Wren, are normal, middle-class Colorado high school students working a summer job at the local Renaissance Fest to supplement their meager college savings.So when an eccentric old lady asks them to impersonate her long-absent grandchildren at a fancy dinner party at the jaw-dropping rate of two grand―each―for a single night… Wren insists it's a no-brainer. Make some cash, have some fun, do a good deed.But less than an hour into the evening at the mysterious Hegemony Manor, Ruby is sure she must have lost her mind to have agreed to this.The hostess is dead, the gates are locked, and a magical curse ensures no one can leave until they solve both her murder and the riddles she left behind―in just three days. Because everyone else at this party is a powerful witch. And if the witches realize Ruby and Wren are imposters? The sisters won't make it out of Hegemony Manor alive.Follow Victoria on social media: Instagram, FacebookCheck out her website.Purchase her book HERE or HERE.Send us a textHave a question about today's book or author?

Avery Kylie Grambs is an exceedingly normal girl who gets catapulted into notoriety and fortune after inheriting billions of dollars from the now deceased puzzle-master Tobias Hawthorne. The catch?

In his tracks, Tobias left one last hurrah of a puzzle for his grandsons and now Avery to solve. Join us for mystery, romance, riddles and more on this season of YA, We Read It! 

1046. Jennifer Lynn Barnes, author of the "Inheritance Games" books, discusses how writing from different points of view can help readers connect with characters in different ways. We also talked about her book recommendations, and how the "Grey's Anatomy" pilot surprised her by having almost all the elements she had identified as important for the success of novels.

This December episode of the Fully-Booked podcast is one of those free-for-all episodes where we cover anything we like, without a specific theme. This week's discussion is about upcoming 2025 book adaptations we are excited for. This episode was notably pre-recorded, as Sireen was scheduled to be on maternity leave by the time of its airing. Current Reading Discussion: Contemporary Literature Analysis The hosts begin by sharing their recent reading experiences. Sireen discusses Ali Hazelwood's "2 Can Play," offering a critical analysis of its workplace romance narrative structure and problematic relationship dynamics. Meaghan shares her experience with two recent reads: "The Glimmer in the Hollows" from Round Fire Books, which she describes as a genre-bending mystery that evolves into science fiction, and "We Used to Live Here" by Marcus Kleewer, a thriller that originated from Reddit's NoSleep community. Adaptation Discourse and Fan Culture Analysis A significant portion of the discussion centers on the complex relationship between book adaptations and fan reception. The hosts explore how fan expectations and reactions can impact production decisions, citing specific examples: The shelving of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" adaptation by Hulu The successful casting decisions in "Shadow and Bone" The controversy surrounding various casting choices, including Idris Elba in "The Dark Tower" The debate over Hermione's casting in theatrical production We then move into a detailed examination of upcoming adaptations scheduled or anticipated for 2025: Horror and Thriller Adaptations "Welcome to Derry" (HBO) - A prequel series to "It" featuring Bill Skarsgård "The Housemaid" by Freda McFadden, starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" for Netflix, featuring a stellar cast including Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth Young Adult and Mystery Adaptations "We Were Liars" coming to Amazon Prime "The Good Girl's Guide to Murder" Season 2 "The Inheritance Games" adaptation (in development) Contemporary Literature Adaptations Emily Henry's "People We Meet on Vacation" - the first screen adaptation of her work "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid "Verity" by Colleen Hoover, starring Anne Hathaway Production Analysis and Industry Insights The hosts provide valuable insights into the adaptation process and industry trends throughout their discussion. The industry's approach to casting has evolved significantly, particularly in how productions handle fan expectations versus creative decisions. We see this exemplified in multiple upcoming projects: Anne Hathaway's casting in "Verity" represents a strategic choice to bring established star power to complex source material The casting of Tom Blyth and Emily Borden in "People We Meet on Vacation" shows a careful balance between emerging talent and proven performers The ensemble approach for del Toro's "Frankenstein" demonstrates how productions are leveraging diverse talent pools to create compelling ensemble casts We're witnessing a remarkable trend in how different types of adaptations are being scaled: Premium television series like "Welcome to Derry" are receiving feature-film level budgets and production values Smaller, character-driven stories like "The Housemaid" are being positioned as mid-budget prestigious productions Streaming platforms are investing heavily in multi-season potential, as evidenced by "The Good Girl's Guide to Murder" renewal strategy The industry is embracing innovative production techniques to translate complex literary narratives: Advanced visual effects integration for fantasy and horror adaptations Sophisticated narrative structuring for non-linear storytelling (particularly relevant for "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo") Enhanced production design capabilities that allow for more faithful recreation of literary worlds We're seeing carefully orchestrated release strategies that consider: Strategic timing of releases to avoid oversaturation in specific genres Coordinated marketing campaigns that engage both book fans and new audiences Platform-specific release models (binge vs. weekly episodes) tailored to content type Key trends emerging in the adaptation landscape: Increased focus on diverse source material and representation Growing emphasis on author involvement in adaptation processes Rising importance of social media engagement and fan community management Strategic franchise development potential for successful adaptations Closing Observations The episode concludes with reflections on how 2025 is shaping up to be a significant year for book-to-screen adaptations, with both hosts expressing particular interest in how these various projects will handle their source material and meet audience expectations. The discussion consistently returns to the theme of balancing faithful adaptation with creative interpretation, suggesting that the success of these upcoming projects will largely depend on how well they navigate these competing demands while maintaining the core essence of their source material.

Halli Hallo Hallöchen. Eigentlich könnte diese Folge auch schon als Comeback gelten da meine letzte Folge dieses Mal nicht ein halbes Jahr sondern nur eine Woche her ist. Wie lang ich das wohl durchhalte? Naja wie auch immer in dieser Folge geht es um eine Buchreihe die ich nach zwei langen Jahren endlich mal beendet habe, und die euch aus meinem vorletztem Geburtstagsspecial bekannt vorkommen sollte: The Inheritance Games. Hier gibt es neben Mordversuchen, einer unbekannten Erbin und heißen Enkelsöhnen außerdem eine große Villa (wenn ihr so eine auch besitzt bitte bei mir melden) und am Ende erwarten euch noch interessante News von mir. Wie auch immer, viel Spaß bei dieser Folge! Der Link zu meinem WhatsApp Channel: https://whatsapp.com/channel/0029VaxLYUE05MUlzIJNOo24

Are you ready to fall in love with a high octane thrill ride that's ALREADY been optioned for a motion picture!? Are you ready to read a book that's been described as a cinematic thriller that combines The Inheritance Games and Ocean's Eleven!? Then look no further, as Kayvion Lewis has the books you need! Kayvion is on the show today to discuss her latest book, 'Heist Royale'. She also discusses the unique circumstances where she even started writing and how wild it was to have your book optioned for a movie BEFORE it's even published! Enjoy! About Kayvion Lewis KAYVION LEWIS is a young adult author of all things escapist and high-octane. Her THIEVES' GAMBIT duology has been published in over 25 languages, and is being adapted for film by Lionsgate. A former youth services librarian, Kayvion's been working with young readers and kidlit since she was sixteen. When she's not writing, she's breaking out of escape rooms, jumping out of airplanes, and occasionally running away to mountain retreats to study kung fu. Though she lives in Louisiana and often visits her family in The Bahamas, Kayvion never really knows when she'll take off on her next adventure, which could take her anywhere in the world.+ About 'Thieves' Gambit' The Inheritance Games meets Ocean's Eleven in this cinematic heist thriller where a cutthroat competition brings together the world's best thieves and one thief is playing for the highest stakes of all: her mother's life. At only seventeen years old, Ross Quest is already a master thief, especially adept at escape plans. Until her plan to run away from her legendary family of thieves takes an unexpected turn, leaving her mother's life hanging in the balance. In a desperate bid, she enters the Thieves' Gambit, a series of dangerous, international heists where killing the competition isn't exactly off limits, but the grand prize is a wish for anything in the world—a wish that could save her mom. When she learns two of her competitors include her childhood nemesis and a handsome, smooth-talking guy who might also want to steal her heart, winning the Gambit becomes trickier than she imagined. Ross tries her best to stick to the family creed: trust no one whose last name isn't Quest. But with the stakes this high, Ross will have to decide who to con and who to trust before time runs out. After all, only one of them can win.   About 'Heist Royale' In this high-stakes, high drama sequel to Thieves' Gambit, Ross must find a way to out-heist the boy who betrayed her to protect her family—and her heart. It's been six months since the end of the gambit. Instead of winning an impossible wish, Ross has the threat of her family's execution hanging over her head. Devroe, the only person Ross thought she could trust, could wish the Quests into oblivion at any time. And shockingly, despite his betrayal and the two being forced to pull jobs together for the Organization, Devroe is still making a play for Ross's heart. But Ross has learned her lesson. A Quest can only trust another Quest. When Ross finds herself at the center of a power struggle within the Organization, she sees her chance to change her fortunes. As a new deadly Gambit develops for control of the criminal underworld, Ross strikes a risky deal to guarantee protection for herself and her family. In this final clash, Ross will square off against a ruthless opponent who will stop at nothing to seize power, and in their corner will be not only Devroe, but his mother, who wants to destroy the Quests at any cost. The new Gambit takes Ross and her crew into the intoxicating casinos of Monte Carlo and across treacherous snow-covered slopes in Antarctica, as Ross competes against Devroe in a fight for her life. Loyalties will be tested, backs stabbed, hearts broken. May the best thief win.   Make sure to check out the Dtalkspodcast.com website! Thanks to Empire Toys for this episode of the podcast!

Hi, my name is Shenequa Williams, and I am an Instructional Specialist at Cedar Ridge Elementary. Today, I'm reviewing The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.

From getting lost in a novel to binge-watching a favorite TV show, we humans spend a lot of time in fictional worlds. Jennifer Lynn Barnes, PhD, a psychologist and novelist, talks about why we're drawn to fictional worlds; the psychology of fandom and fan fiction; and how insights from psychology helped her write her best-selling series “The Inheritance Games.”

We love puzzles and we love discussing a longtime Staci favorite-The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes.  This book is kind of like YA "Knives Out" meets "Ready Player One" and we're here for all the twists, turns, riddles, and games.

We will not only be chatting about the plotline, but about all the characters (including those we love to hate), the Hawthorne family secrets, Hawthorne Manor, our favorite Hawthorne brothers, if we are Team Jamison or Team Grayson, and more! First 15 minutes are spoiler free!A little about The Inheritance Games:Avery Grambs has a plan for a better future: Survive high school, win a scholarship, and get out. But her fortunes change in an instant when billionaire Tobias Hawthorne dies and leaves Avery virtually his entire fortune. The catch? Avery has no idea why - or even who Tobias Hawthorne is. To receive her inheritance, Avery must move into sprawling, secret passage-filled Hawthorne House, where every room bears the old man's touch - and his love of puzzles, riddles, and codes. Unfortunately for Avery, Hawthorne House is also occupied by the family that Tobias Hawthorne just dispossessed. This includes the four Hawthorne grandsons: Dangerous, magnetic, brilliant boys who grew up with every expectation that one day, they would inherit billions. Heir apparent Grayson Hawthorne is convinced that Avery must be a con-woman, and he's determined to take her down. His brother, Jameson, views her as their grandfather's last hurrah: A twisted riddle, a puzzle to be solved. Caught in a world of wealth and privilege, with danger around every turn, Avery will have to play the game herself just to survive.Support the showHave a question about today's book or author?

Happy Sunday and Time Change!! We hope you remembered to put your clocks back one hour for our American listeners!    This week we are discussing The Rosewood Hunt by debut author Mackenzie Reed  We hope you enjoy the episode and don't forget to follow our socials here :)   Summary: Irresistible intrigue, captivating suspense, a swoony friends-to-rivals-to-lovers romance, and heartbreaking betrayal drive this thrilling debut novel that is perfect for fans of The Inheritance Games and Knives Out. Lily Rosewood has lived with her grandmother since her dad's death a year ago. She and Gram have always been close—Gram's role as chair of their family's luxury coat business has inspired Lily's love of fashion, and Lily hopes to follow in Gram's footsteps one day. Then Gram dies suddenly, and Lily's world is upended. Gram's quarter of a billion dollar fortune is missing, and Lily has been banned from the manor she and Gram shared. But Gram has always loved games, and even in death, she still has a few tricks up her couture sleeve. When Lily and three other seemingly random teens get letters from Gram sending them on a treasure hunt around Rosetown, they hope the fortune will be the reward. But they're not the only ones hunting for Gram's treasure, and soon the hunt becomes more dangerous than they ever could have imagined.

In the funnest episode yet, Ben and Wes break down two monumental weeks. They sing songs to listeners as easily as they break down all of the biggest Taylor Swift news.

A trendy book many adults have picked up is YA novel "The Inheritance Games" by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. It's a whimsical little mystery and the first in a trilogy. The Busy Girls hosts dive into whether it's worth the pick up or if it should stay in a middle school library.

In this episode, we discuss "The Final Gambit", the third book in the Inheritance Games trilogy by Jennifer Lynn Barnes. This book has nothing to do with ham or hot pockets, so be forewarned if you were here just for the meat. Join us as we discuss a veritable Winchester Mystery House, Roombas for werewolves, and what the appropriate cocktail-to-peanut ratio is for safe air travel. Karen is NOT Cliff, Kelly eats the scenery with her pronunciation of "milieu", the Phantom of the Opera is the most emo, Coldplay is not emo at all, and Grayson should hie himself back to Harvard for additional baking. Rated 12 out of 12 brooding brothers.Support the showhttps://www.instagram.com/itsacluepodcast/

This week we decided to do an episode suggested by a fan! We matched Taylor Swift's new album Midnights with books and kdramas that have the same storyline. Tune in for the controversial opinions on many of the Midnight songs like Bejeweled and Sweet Nothing while also having lots of fun pairing them with the many books we love. We mention books like Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, It Ends With Us, Inheritance Games, and kdramas like 2521 and Hometown Cha Cha Cha!

Marissa chats with Jennifer Lynn Barnes about the conclusion to The Inheritance Games Trilogy - THE FINAL GAMBIT - as well as being flexible with your creative process in order to strike a life-work balance that can change and adapt throughout the various phases of your life; prewriting your scenes in stages when you don't have the mental bandwidth to write them in their entirety; using the similarities between fiction and gossip to make your work compulsively readable; lots of fascinating tips for developing a story using the psychology of fandom (groups, theme parks, and parties, oh my!); auditioning archetypes for your cast of characters, then digging into backstory in order to develop them into fully realized people; and how to pivot into a new genre while maintaining your sense of joy. Books discussed in this episode can be purchased from your local independent bookstore or buy them online from the Happy Writer bookshop.org store (that benefits indie bookstores) at  https://bookshop.org/shop/marissameyer
