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?

The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn BarnesAvery was having a really bad day, or week, or maybe years? After losing her mother at the age of 15, two years later she is living with her half sister Libby and they are both trying to make ends meet. So when a strange boy shows up, telling Avery her presence is requested, no required, at the reading of his dead grandfather's will, it all seems just too crazy to believe. And then the will is read!Recommended for grades 8 and up.
Hi Fam! Just a quick rundown of this week's happenings. This includes Rowell & Riordan news, a TBR rundown, & bookshelf reorganization. Current new reads: Jennifer Lynn Barnes's Inheritance Games and Holly Black's The Cruel Prince. Current reread which is worth a million rereads: Madeline Miller's Song of Achilles.
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
