Podcast appearances and mentions of Julie Berry

 On this episode, we celebrate Women's History Month with fiction and nonfiction about women's history, one of the prompts on the Winter-Spring 2024 Books & Bites Bingo reading challenge. From a graphic novel about Soviet women fighter pilots to a page-turning book about the evolution of female bodies, we'll show you that there's nothing dull about women's history. Michael's PickThe Night Witches is a graphic novel written by Garth Ennis and illustrated by Russ Braun. During World War II, the Soviet Union formed the 588th Night Bomber Regiment, recruiting women to fly night missions, bombing the invading Nazis as they cut deeper into Russia. The Nazis came to dub them the “Nachthexen” or “Night Witches.”The novel follows Anna Kharkova, a fictional Night Witch. It opens as Anna is recruited to join the 588th regiment with her friend and gunner, Zoya. If you're a World War II history buff or a fan of military history, you might enjoy this powerful story.Pairing: A glass of Kompot, homemade fruit juice enjoyed by many Russian and Ukrainian families.  Carrie's PickEve: How the Female Body Drove 200 Million Years of Human Evolutionby Cat Bohannon upends popular and scientific belief to argue that female bodies have been the primary agents of humans' evolutionary change. Bohannon builds her case over nine well researched and lively chapters: Milk, Womb, Perception, Legs, Tools, Brain, Voice, Menopause, and Love.Pairing: Chocolate Covered Frozen Bananas in honor of our matriarchal primate relatives.Jacqueline's PickThe Lovely War by Julie Berry tells the love stories of two WWI couples through the frame of the Goddess of Love's own love story.She seeks to answer the age-old question: "Why are Love and War eternally drawn to one another?" but her quest for a conclusion that will satisfy her jealous husband, Hephaestus, uncovers a multi-threaded tale of prejudice, trauma, and music, revealing that War is no match for the power of Love.Pairing: The war-time treat Lemon Sponge Cake. It's made with rice flour instead of wheat, which was in short supply during World War I. Books & Bites Reading PartyThursday, March 14, 6:30 pm to 7:30 pmConnect with fellow book lovers at a party that celebrates readers!

No 3 The Château is a stunning venue in the Cognac region which hosts many weddings through the warmer months each year, as well as other "experiences", but it has not always been that way.After developing various properties in the UK, interior designer Julie Berry (aka Jules) decided to take up a challenge of renovating a château in France. She settled on the Cognac area and started a search which resulted in the wonderful find of the château she calls home today. No 3 The Château is surrounded on all sides with miles of cognac vines, and walking distance to the village complete with boulangerie. Even though it was in a state of disrepair, Jules could sense the potential and could see the light-filled rooms with huge windows being a beautiful place to both retreat and be calm, as well as come together and celebrate.A recommendation from Jules which I will definitely use in the future, is the program Explore Cognac. This website highlights a number of experiences that tourists can uncover in the Cognac region. There are activities such as jewelry making, bike riding, barrel making, just loads of ways to discover all there is to do in Cognac. No 3 The Chateau has 2 experiences on the site, one for bread making in their old bread oven and another to host a dinner for 12 in the château dining room with a Michelin Starred chef! No 3 The Château is a highlighted château on the Château Bee website and is booked out for a couple of years in advance! So if you're considering planning a wedding in France, get cracking! Booking a long way in advance is going to be a must!**Louise Prichard is the host of the Loulabelle's FrancoFiles podcast.**Other Loulabelle's links:FrancoFile Fix on YouTubeLoulabelle's FrancoFiles Spotify Playlist Loulabelle's FrancoFiles InstagramLoulabelle's FrancoFiles website

During season 9 on the islands of Vanuatu, Jeff fell for the Survivor player Julie Berry, a 24-year old from Maine. Jeff emailed Julie after the season ended, and the two enjoyed a “love affair” that lasted four years.  We're joined by Kel's sister Shannon, a Survivor expert, to look back at the early seasons of the show, recall Jeff's iconic catchphrases, and tell the unusual story of Jeff & Julie.

Join us for this discussion of Julie Berry's young adult novel Lovely War. A romance that takes place during WWI as told by the gods of olympus. Highly readable, and highly serendipidous that I was able to find the recording of this podcast! I thought it was lost forever. Enjoy.

Happy Discussing-Niche-Topics Day! This week, Elyse and Claire again fail to make their episode shorter than one hour. Baby steps, listener. Baby, virtually non-existent steps. Elyse leads this episode with one of the most popular shows on Netflix right now - Bridgerton. A cross between Pride & Prejudice and Gossip Girl, this show really has it all. Drama, scandal, gossip, romance, balls, and most importantly, HANDS. A fun revamped version of the period romance, this indisputably trashy TV show set in the Regency area really has something for everyone. Before we go: Claire: Lovely War, a novel by Julie Berry. Lovely War is a spiral narrative, with the outer narrative following Aphrodite defending her infidelity with fellow god Ares to her husband Hephaestus. In order to do so, she tells the story of four lovers during World War I - and through these stories show how love and war are inevitably drawn to each other. Elyse: The Tinder Swindler, a Netflix documentary about a romance Ponzi scheme. A con artist scams women through connecting with them on Tinder, and subsequently uses the money he gains from them to pursue the next victim of his scheme. Be sure to watch the whole documentary to see the satisfying petty vengeance one woman pulls on this conman. Warning: This episode contains plot spoilers for the television series Bridgerton.

In Episode 2 of Life on Rails, Juliette Maxam and Lucy Wright take another look behind the scenes at Greater Anglia. Have you ever wondered who decides what colour trains should be and designs the interior? In this episode we speak to Jason Brandon, who as brand manager of Greater Anglia, was responsible for what the new trains should look like – and answers the question - "why do they have carpets?” Engineering director Martin Beable picks his favourite green features of the new trains, while accessibility manager Rebecca Richardson explains some of the innovative features which are making the railway more accessible for all. Resident fares guru Ken Smith gives his top tips on cheap travel for nights out in London. Listen in to meet Julie Berry, voice over artist and the woman behind Greater Anglia's announcements. Finally, Juliette and Lucy talk about snow and ice, and what the railway does to cope with it.

Feedback Tess of the Road by Rachel Hartman (tw: for sexual assault and miscarriage) (rec’d by Margot) The Secret History of the Pink Carnation by Lauren Willig (rec’d by Rose?) Current Futures: A Sci-Fi Ocean Anthology, edited by Ann Vandermeer (rec’d by Stephanie) Questions 1. Hey y’all! Could I ask for two separate recommendations? One is for my job and one is for my personal reading. I would appreciate it.  My professional recommendation: I am a 7th and 8th grade history teacher and I’m looking for some middle grade historical fiction books for the classroom, preferably Texas history and US history since those are the subjects I teach.  My personal recommendation: I really, really enjoyed True Detective, especially season 1 with Matthew McConnaughey and Woody Harrelson. I would like to read dark crime/detective/mystery/thriller books similar to True Detective.  Thank you so much for your help, I really enjoy the podcast! Respectfully, -Mason 2. I would love some recs for my Dad. He is basically retired bc of Covid. He has worked from home since March 2019 and watched ALL the tv shows and I want him to have some mental stimulation. I can’t remember the last book he read but I can tell you he loves sports, westerns, detective stuff and small town America. He would HATE anything with fantasy, sci-fi or true crime.   -Donya 3. I just finished Ask Again, Yes. And I absolutely loved it! I’m wanting to find another novel similar to it. I think I loved how the characters were so fully drawn and rich. The author did such a great job exploring all the characters personal backgrounds that way you fully understood who they were in all their complexities. I enjoyed the dynamic between the two families and the special, almost idyllic, childhood friendship between Peter and Kate. I also loved watching how the people changed over time. Books that I’ve enjoyed before that felt similar to this one are Little Fires Everywhere and Commonwealth. Thanks! -Emily  4. I’m finishing up with all the fall mysteries and spooky reads, and would love a recommendation for something heartwarming to read around the winter holidays/darkest week of the year. I typically like to read something lighthearted or at least with a happy ending, about characters with some emotional complexity and strong chosen-family relationships. LGBTQIA characters are pretty important to me, but the chosen family storyline is most important. Last year I read The Snow Child and loved it, but I could also go for something like House in the Cerulean Sea. Holiday or wintery themes are welcome but not necessary. I love fantasy, literary fiction, and memoirs (but am not into reading short stories or books that really center romance). Thanks so much, -Angela 5. I’ve been listening to your podcast for years and now need help. I finished reading The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune recently and completely fell in love with it. I loved the story, I loved the adult characters and I loved the children characters. I loved their relationships with each other and I loved the growth throughout the book of Linus. This is just such a sweet cozy read and I would love to find something similar. Any suggestions you can give me would be greatly appreciated. Thank you! -Ashley 6. I have desperately been trying to find a book like Lovely War by Julie Berry. I read it back in June and haven’t found a book that even compares since.  My favourite things about this book were the mythology, the romance, the time period (1920s), the way the gods interacted with the humans, the portrayal of death, the settings (England and France with a little bit of Belgium and America), etc.  It would be SO SO amazing if you could find any books like it! Thank you.  PS: LOVE your show and have so many new amazing books because of it.  -Niamh 7. So I’m looking for poetry audiobook recommendations. I recently bought Lana Del Rey’s Violet Bent Backwards Over the Grass on audio and found it to be extremely therapeutic. I’m in law school now and don’t have the time to read anything except case books. I also found I have about zero capacity for concentration left outside of my class material and find my mind wandering during even my most favorite podcasts (Get Booked) which I listen to for the therapeutic aspect. But I found that Violet is something I can listen to over and over again and I feel soothed. I like that it’s ethereal and nostalgic. I like themes of love and love for your city and the personification of a city. I like the dreaminess of it too. I do like spoken word but I’d prefer things that aren’t particularly heart wrenching or political. I’m looking more for an escape than an awakening. Hope I haven’t made this impossible! Thanks

Our guest this week is children’s fiction and YA author Julie Berry, and here’s why: she gave a talk at a conference about visualizing and imagery that Sarina has “been thinking about for 7 years.” That should tell you how much gold there is in this episode—all kinds of useful stuff about how we use images and senses to spark our own creativity and build a connection with our readers in every genre.

(Note: This show originally aired last year.) Our guest is Julie Berry, the bestselling young-adult novelist. She joins us to discuss her latest book, "Lovely War: A Novel." As was noted of this work by School Library Journal: "The Greek gods relate the tale of how four young people's fates collide in a love story for the ages. Caught by Hephaestus in an compromising position with Ares, the god of War, Aphrodite is put on trial by her husband in a Manhattan hotel. World War II is waging, but the goddess of Love hearkens back to the first World War to present the romantic epic tale of Brits Hazel (a shy pianist) and James (a reluctant soldier). Hazel follows James to the Western Front, where she meets Colette (a grieving Belgian) and Aubrey (an African American musician from Harlem).

As the mother of two young children, all of Julie Berry’s focus was on keeping them safe, happy, and healthy, but despite loving them fiercely, Julie also felt intensely isolated. Walking around in maternity clothes with spit up and pieces of breakfast clinging to her, Julie couldn’t help but feel frustrated with her limited sphere of influence in the world. What had been the point of going to college? Was this really all she was made to do? Julie’s story is beautiful, and especially dear to me as Julie was a “late bloomer.” She may not have left college as a bestselling author, but her stories are made all the richer by the experiences that have led her to this point. Join us as we discuss her circuitous career path, the inspiration behind All the Truth That’s In Me, and how we should pursue the things that matter most to us.

They talk murder, visions, character depth, the Great War and more. They also dive into the Jar of Teen Angst and answer three questions. Did you have a curfew and did you ever break it?

What was your first concert?   And don't forget you can join the conversation, share stories, ask questions about library life or add questions to our Jar of Teen Angst at teentitletalk@gmail.com

In this episode, we discuss All the Truth That's In Me by Julie Berry. We talk about the nuances of young adult literature, the book's compelling parallels with the current #MeToo movement, what makes this novel's unusual structure so effective, and so much more. Book Description: Four years ago, Judith and her best friend disappeared from their small town of Roswell Station. Two years ago, only Judith returned, permanently mutilated, reviled and ignored by those who were once her friends and family. Unable to speak, Judith lives like a ghost in her own home, silently pouring out her thoughts to the boy who’s owned her heart as long as she can remember—even if he doesn’t know it—her childhood friend, Lucas. But when Roswell Station is attacked, long-buried secrets come to light, and Judith is forced to choose: continue to live in silence, or recover her voice, even if it means changing her world, and the lives around her, forever. Show Notes: First Draft Podcast with Sarah Enni We reference our discussion of Ken Greenhall's Elizabeth with Stephen Graham Jones. Go back one episode (LOTF 11!) to catch up on that convo!  Unbury Carol and Bird Box by Josh Malerman The King's Shadow by Elizabeth Alder Roses and Rot by Kat Howard (and listen to our thoughts on the book in episode LOTF 10)

Because of some major technical difficulties, you can expect this episode to be less well-edited: sound levels are not fully set, and we meander far more than Nathan generally allows. BUT, we do have an in-depth discussion of Laini Taylor's Strange The Dreamer, complete with wildly divergent opinions, (srsly, though, we love you Laini Taylor, come on the show!), We discuss the concept of crafting read-a-likes today and during this informal discussion, Lindsey suggests I Am The Messenger by Markus Zusak, and Nate suggests Challenger Deep by Neal Shusterman. Additionally, Lindsey suggests Bitter Blue by Kristin Cashore and the Netflix series Jessica Jones. Cash Money suggests The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry and Scythe by Neal Shusterman. Amy seconds Scythe. Kim suggests Daughter of Smoke and Bone by Laini Taylor and Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. Nathan suggests the 1985 feature film Ladyhawke and the anime series Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood (you should also read the manga by Hiromu Arakawa). Nate suggests The Darkest Part of the Forest by Holly Black and Shadow Shaper by Daniel José Older. There is also a lot of discussion of the book And I Darken by Kiersten White: our sort of perennially favorite divisive title.

Join us as we say "Bye Felicia" to 2017 and ring in 2018. We decided to recount the books that got us through 2017. So the gang discusses their faves whether they were published this year or not. Amy in her Is It Teen Enough debut discusses Paper Girls by Brian K. Vaughn, Cliff Chiang, and Matt Wilson. (That new Archie Amy talks aobut is by Mark Waid—who did an awesome Daredevil Run—and Fiona Staples). Katie discusses Aristotle and Dante Discover the Secrets of the Universe by Benjamin Alire Sáenz. Molly sent a recording and suggested a barrage of titles: Scythe by Neil Shusterman, The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry, The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas, Real Friends by Shannon Hale, Tell Me How it Ends by Valeria Luiselli, The Upside of Unrequited by Becky Albertalli (which we totally did NOT discuss on the podcast; what were we thinking missing out on that one?), and Girl Mans Up by M-E Girard! Kim's favorite of the year was The Hate U Give by Angie Thomas (she also mentions The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, which we'll discuss in a future episode, The Rules of Magic by Alice Hoffman (which I think she accidentally calls The Color of Magic because of her love of Terry Pratchett. R.I.P.), and Turtles all the Way Down by John Green. Cash Money discusses the Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry. Nate discusses You Don't Have to Say You Love Me by Sherman Alexie. Lindsey discusses Far From the Tree by Robin Benway. Nathan discusses All's Faire in Middle School by Victoria Jamieson

In this episode we discuss And I Darken by Kiersten White (the first book in the Conqueror's Saga). We talk a lot about The Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry (read ahead; it'll be featured in a future episode). Molly suggests the Passion of Dolssa by Julie Berry and anything by Donna Jo Napoli. Nathan suggests Shadow Scale by Rachel Hartman. Nate suggests the Gilmore Girls: A Year In the Life. Kim totally does not suggest Twilight by Stephenie Meyer or A Song of Fire and Ice by George R. R. Martin (*wink*), but does suggest Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard. Amanda aka Ca$h Money suggests Outlander by Diana Gabaldon and The Winter's Curse by April L. Wood.

Julie Berry was inspired to write her new historical novel, “The Passion of Dolssa,” while listening to a college lecture she found online about medieval France. Fascinated, Berry began a two-year dive into research on the era, learning about the lives of several medieval female mystics like Clare of Assisi, Marguerite Porete, and Catherine of Siena, women who rejected marriage, almost unheard of at the time, and bucked the authority of the church with their own religious visions. “The Passion of Dolssa” is set during the 13th Century in southern France (the area now known as Provence), in the aftermath of the Albigensian Crusade.
