Payback's a Witch By Lana Harper | Book Review Podcast Website: https://gobookmart.com Buy Now: https://amzn.to/3138Je5 “Payback's a Witch is like the first Halloween wind through the corn: brisk, breezy, and altogether refreshing. This is a sweet, charming read, absolutely designed to be enjoyed on a crisp fall evening. I want to go to Thistle Grove. My greatest regret about this book is that it isn't a five-season TV show that I can already sit down and just binge.”—Seanan McGuire, New York Times bestselling author "A sexy, charming, and completely magical romance full of sparkling dialogue and loveable characters. Emmy's quest to find out where she belongs is so relatable, with some spells and supernatural elements included to spice things up. And Emmy's hometown, Thistle Grove, is so enchanting that I found myself wishing I could plan a visit! Reading Payback's a Witch is like curling up with a big mug of cider on a perfect autumn day."—Kerry Winfrey, author of Very Sincerely Yours "No tricks, all treat! Lana Harper's debut Payback's a Witch is a compulsively fun read.”—Jacqueline Carey, New York Times bestselling author of the Kushiel's Legacy series "Harper makes her adult debut with a queer rom-com that bewitches from the very first page...This magical joyride manages to feel both vibrantly current and timelessly mystical while avoiding the typical queer rom-com stereotypes. Combining John Tucker Must Die with a helping of an adult Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and a dash of Charmed, this addictive concoction begs for adaptation."—Publishers Weekly, starred review --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/gobookmart-review/support

In this podcast episode, we discuss books: Not Like The Movies by Kerry Winfrey and Instructions For Dancing by Nicola Yoon.   Not Like The Movies: What happens when your life is a rom-com...but you don't even believe in true love?Chloe Sanderson is an optimist, and not because her life is easy. As the sole caregiver for her father, who has early-onset Alzheimer's, she's pretty much responsible for everything. She has no time—or interest—in getting swept up in some dazzling romance. Not like her best friend Annie, who literally wrote a rom-com that's about to premiere in theatres across America...and happens to be inspired by Chloe and Nick Velez, Chloe's cute but no-nonsense boss. But unlike the romance Annie has written for them, Chloe isn't so sure her own story will end in a Happily Ever After. + + Instructions For Dancing: Evie Thomas doesn't believe in love anymore. Especially after the strangest thing occurs one otherwise ordinary afternoon: She witnesses a couple kiss and is overcome with a vision of how their romance began . . . and how it will end. After all, even the greatest love stories end with a broken heart, eventually. As Evie tries to understand why this is happening, she finds herself at La Brea Dance Studio, learning to waltz, fox-trot, and tango with a boy named X. X is everything that Evie is not: adventurous, passionate, daring. His philosophy is to say yes to everything--including entering a ballroom dance competition with a girl he's only just met.Falling for X is definitely not what Evie had in mind. But as she and X dance around and toward each other, Evie is forced to question all she thought she knew about life and love. In the end, is love worth the risk?As always,  will either of these books make it onto the shelf? Or will it split the sand for these two hosts?In this episode, we mention a spoiler, which we cut from the episode.

Meredith and Kaytee have a special guest again this week to discuss our favorite picture books for the 2-5 year kiddos in your life! You’ll hear a “bookish moment of the week” from each host: an author event, kid librarians, and a fantastic iTunes review. Next, we discuss our current reads for the week. We are each talking about two recent reads and we’ve got a variety of new titles that we cannot wait to discuss this week. For our deep dive, we are discussing our very favorite picture books for the 2-5 year old range. These kids are enraptured by great pictures, willing to sit for a great story, and ready to laugh at great jokes, so we’ve chosen some stand-out titles to share with you or the littles in your life. Abbey has a lot of great expertise in this area, so we are only too happy to have her input. As always, we finish up with A Book (yep, capitalized) that we’d like to press into every reader’s hands. We’ve got a childhood favorite, which may not be for kids, that has been read over and over again, a WWII novel told in a totally new way, and a reference book that belongs on every parent’s shelves. As per usual, time-stamped show notes are below with references to every book and resource we mentioned in this episode. If you’d like to listen first and not spoil the surprise, don’t scroll down!  .  .  .  .  .  2:39 - City of Girls by Elizabeth Gilbert 6:11 - The Secret Garden by Frances Hodgson Burnett 7:07 - The Silent Patient by Alex Michaelides 8:43 - Recursion by Blake Crouch 11:29 - Dark Matter by Blake Crouch 13:45 - Pines (Wayward Pines Series) by Blake Crouch 14:55 - Parkland by Dave Cullen 15:01 - Columbine by Dave Cullen 16:40 - The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker 19:08 - The River by Peter Heller 19:45 - Dog Stars by Peter Heller 24:14 - Stay Sexy and Don’t Get Murdered by Karen Kilgariff and Georgia Hardstack 24:26 - My Favorite Murder podcast 26:21 - The Gift of Fear by Gavin de Becker 30:01 - The Bookish Life of Nina Hill by Abbi Waxman 31:58 - Waiting for Tom Hanks by Kerry Winfrey 33:37 - Other People’s Houses by Abbi Waxman 33:30 - The Garden of Small Beginnings by Abbi Waxman 34:17 - Beartown by Fredrik Backman 36:09 - A Man Called Ove by Fredrik Backman 39:37 - Us Against You by Fredrik Backman 42:18 - Books, Inc Campbell - Abbey’s local bookstore Abbey’s favorites from Henry and Isaac: 43:02 - Elephant and Piggie books - especially Can I Play Too? by Mo Willems 43:54 - Eat Pete by Michael Rex 43:56 - Julia’s House for Lost Creatures by Ben Hatke 44:01 - Warning: Do Not Open this Book by Adam Lehrhaupt & Matthew Forsythe 44:08 - The Book with No Pictures by BJ Novak 44:23 - Beyond the Pond by Joseph Kuefler 44:43 - We Don’t Eat Our Classmates by Ryan T.
