Welcome back to the UNTOLD LEGENDS podcast hosted by Natalie C. Parker & Zoraida Córdova. We've had a little bit of a rebrand, so if you remember VAMPIRES NEVER GET OLD, we are still the same editors and writers, we've just expanded. Our second episode brings in two awesome guests: Julie C. Dao and Gretchen Schreiber! We revisit the original short story "The Little Mermaid" by Hans Christian Andersen, how embedding your culture into fantasy storytelling can be cathartic, and dismantling generational trauma, one mermaid tale at a time.

Iron Widow By Xiran Jay Zhao | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com/blog/ Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3FDWgxe "[An] incredible novel, fun and exciting, sometimes horrible to read, but in all the ways that make you fall in love with a character." —Tor.com "Like its ferocious heroine, Iron Widow is brutal, bloodthirsty, and full of rage. Zetian's fight to shatter patriarchal definitions of power makes for a truly thrilling read." —Julie C. Dao, author of Forest of a Thousand Lanterns "A primal scream of a book, Iron Widow delivers on all that fury and more, combining meticulous pacing and brilliant world building to make a truly epic read." —E.K. Johnston, #1 New York Times bestselling author of Aetherbound “Zetian is the take-no-prisoners heroine you'll love to cheer on as she crushes everyone who tries to bring her down.” —Rebecca Schaeffer, author of Not Even Bones "A bold and brash story that will grab you by the throat from page one. Zhao expertly weaves a story that polishes off classic sci-fi themes and re-imagines them in a lush futuristic world inspired by Ancient China. With an unapologetic heroine who pushes so far beyond the boundaries of expectations, the reader will go on a journey of twists and turns that will make them gasp with each page turn. Thrilling, heart-wrenching, and epic!” —Kat Cho, internationally bestselling author of Vicious Spirits "In Iron Widow, Zhao crafts a thrilling, brutal tale with jaw-dropping action and a fierce and unyielding heroine. Zetian is unstoppable, and I dare you not to cheer her on." —Elizabeth Lim, bestselling author of Spin the Dawn "Iron Widow is a gut punch from the very first pages. The action is riveting. The story relentless. The heroine ruthless and unapologetic. Zetian is here to set the world on fire, and her pursuit of vengeance is thrilling and empowering to behold. Sit back and enjoy the show—and stay the hell out of her way." —Nicki Pau Preto, author of Crown of Feathers "A searing, cinematic, gut-punch of a tale, Iron Widow is both wickedly fun and brutally incisive when it comes to the Chinese history and culture it draws inspiration from. There's no resisting Wu Zetian; once she sinks her claws in you, you'll be racing alongside her to a shocking, subversive end." —Joan He, New York Times–bestselling author of The Ones We're Meant to Find "Absolutely epic. This is the historical-inspired, futuristic sci-fi mash-up of my wildest dreams. Iron Widow charges headfirst into a world of giant mechas and uncompromising characters. The brutal beauty of Xiran Jay Zhao's writing kept me glued to the page from start to finish." —Chloe Gong, New York Times–bestselling author of These Violent Delights --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

Amanda and Jenn discuss light nonfiction, novels in verse, thrillers, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Temper by Nicky Drayden and Book Riot Insiders.   Feedback:   The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation by Lawrence Venuti The Translator by Nina Schuyler   Questions:   1. I typically read fantasy/science fiction books, but I have recently been trying to branch out. So recently, I read Cork-Dork by Bianca Bosker, which I found both charming and informative. Can you recommend similar nonfiction books? When I say similar I don't necessarily mean the topic, but rather in style. I loved the experience of a light non-fiction book where I felt I was joining the author in their immersive learning process about a particular topic. I am not looking for anything that is emotionally heavy, but rather something that sparks the desire to learn about something new. Thank you, --Jessica   2. Hello Amanda and Jenn! (And possibly, Liberty and/or Rebecca!) I'm writing to request help with birthday gifts for my niece and nephew. They have birthdays in early September. 1) NIECE - She will be 6. She likes books but doesn't reach for them herself. If I'm reading a book out loud, she drops what she's doing and will come sit by me to listen to the story. She has an older sister who is a bookworm, and she feels left out if anyone talks about books and she can't join in. She has started learning to read and will sound out letters with her parents or me. But she is self-conscious about it and hasn't really learned to enjoy a story yet because of that. Despite these difficulties, she is a great little girl - so curious about the world! She is very quick at math, loves riddles, and is very extroverted. She loves to wear matching accessories with her dresses. She once told me that her most favorite thing in the world is to eat dinner every day with her family. 2) NEPHEW - He will be 4. He loves to be read to. He especially likes picture books with a good dose of facts with fiction, e.g. Pop's Bridge (his favorite). I would like to buy him another picture book about famous bridges. No car/train/plane/construction/emergency vehicle books, please. He has all of them and insists that he's moving on from that phase of life (we have our doubts based on observations but haven't said anything either way). Hope this request isn't too long! Thanks for your help! --Sel   3. Hello Ladies, I am curious if you could recommend any novels told in verse? I have recently read and enjoyed The Watch that Ends the Night and Long Way Down (which was excellent on audio as read by Jason Reynolds himself). When I was younger and much angstier, I also read and enjoyed several Ellen Hopkins books which, upon reflection, are in line with what I want in regards to form, but not content. Aside from avoiding exploitative melodrama, I don’t have any particular topics or genres in mind for this request. The Poet X is already on my list. Thank you for the show, which always keeps my TBR way too long! --April   4. Hello! I tend to read a lot of "literary" fiction, but I love a page-turning psychological thriller every now and then. Unfortunately, all the thrillers I read seem to be by white (usually British, but sometimes American) women. Can you please recommend some twisty thrillers by people of color (still women, if possible!)? Just to clarify, I have read and enjoyed authors including Attica Locke and Sujata Massey, but I'm looking for more of a pure thriller (along the lines of B.A. Paris, Clare Mackintosh, etc.) - something fun and easy to read, not a cerebral mystery. I know you addressed a similar question for mysteries a few weeks ago, which really helped my TBR, but still didn't quite hit my thriller fix. Thanks! --Megan   5. My sister loved The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne and she is pining for another long drawn out depressing story (my take ;)). She also loves East of Eden and The Awakening. Thanks! --Maggie   6. I'm a fairly recent romance reader, and I have a few go-to authors (Courtney Milan, Tessa Dare, Rose Lerner, Alyssa Cole, Alisha Rai come to mind immediately). I've recently been reading Courtney Milan's Worth series, and Alisha Rai's Forbidden Hearts series. I love them both, and the thing that has drawn me in the most isn't so much the romantic relationships, but the family dynamics, secrets, and intrigues. I'm especially a sucker for reunion scenes with lost or estranged family members. Do you know of other romance series that center around families with similar themes? If it wasn't clear from my list of authors, I have a strong preference for romance with a feminist bent. Any romance subgenre is good. --Leslie   7. Most of the time I prefer more “serious” novels, but when I’m in a reading slump (or just exhausted from a heavy book), I like to pick up quick indulgent reads to get me back on track. The last few times this has happened, I’ve picked books like Kiera Cass’s The Selection series and Jillian Dodd’s Spy Girl series. Unfortunately, both have kind of let me down—I love the premises: strong female lead, escapist settings, some political conspiracy, sort of wish fulfillment-y in that a “regular” girl ends up hanging out with royalty, etc. However, I feel like these books miss so many opportunities to really be amazing: the girls get so caught up in the romances that the political intrigue gets put on the back burner (though I don’t mind some romance!), they are very white/heteronormative, and the lead (especially in The Selection) doesn’t have much of a growth arc even though the story totally sets up the possibility. Can you recommend some similar but, uh, better options? Doesn’t have to be YA (maybe that’s part of my problem) or series but should be something I can read in only a few sittings! Thanks! --Carol   Books Discussed: Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse Changeless by Gail Carriger The Earth Moved by Amy Stewart I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong Here to There and Me To You by Cheryl Keely Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson The Lost Ones by Sheena Kamal Yesterday by Felicia Yap Pachinko by Min Jin Lee Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Sweet Tea and Sympathy (Southern Eclectic #1) by Molly Harper It Takes Two to Tumble (Seducing the Sedgwicks #1) by Cat Sebastian Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C.

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we chat with YA superstar Marie Lu about her new novel Warcross as well as her upcoming YA adaptation of Batman, Batman: Nightwalkers. Marie recommends Force of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao. "It is a fantastic, East Asian retelling of the Snow White story but from the Queen's perspective. It is so good, and it is dark, and lush and awesome. I can't believe it's a debut." She also recommends Bob's Burgers. "That's my happy show. I always leave that show feeling good." Aliza recommends the TV show Outlander. "It is essence a period soap opera, but it's so much more than that ... the writing on that show is amazing, and the way they portray people dealing with drama is really, really good." MJ recommends Adam Silvera's new novel They Both Die At The End. He also recommends reading the New York Times "Modern Love" essay "Who Is Allowed To Hold Hands." "It's this heartbreaking, impassioned essay about who is allowed to hands and when and where and why."
