Hi Monday! its bookclub day!! This month we FINALLY read a good book. Thank you so much to libro.fm for the ALC of the Favorites by Layne Fargo. So much drama we were ill but absolutely loved this one enjoy xx

Layne Fargo's new novel, "The Favorites," explores the dazzling but brutal world of elite ice dancing.

The best way to listen to Virtual Book Tour is in the Book of the Month app. Layne Fargo, author of The Favorites, joins us on this week's episode of VBT to discuss her new book—plus love, hate, spite, and ice dancing. We cover everything from Tonya Harding, to early 2000s fashion, to Layne's very first time ice skating. (Spoiler: It was the day before this episode was recorded). Childhood sweethearts turned famous figure skating duo find their relationship at a halt after a shocking incident at the Olympic Games. Ten years later, the past comes back around and the truth threatens to come out as they become the subjects of an unauthorized documentary. Get The Favorites at bookofthemonth.com. New members get their first book for just $9.99 with code VBT at checkout.  Learn more about Virtual Book Tour at virtualbooktour.com.  

This week, Halley Sutton, Steph Lauer and I talk with Layne Fargo about her new book The Favorites! We dive into her inspiration for the book, trips Halley and Layne took to research the book, how she used character names from Wuthering Heights in The Favorites, and her lifelong love for figure skating!The Favorites SynopsisShe might not have a famous name, funding, or her family's support, but Katarina Shaw has always known that she was destined to become an Olympic skater. When she meets Heath Rocha, a lonely kid stuck in the foster care system, their instant connection makes them a formidable duo on the ice. Clinging to skating—and each other—to escape their turbulent lives, Kat and Heath go from childhood sweethearts to champion ice dancers, captivating the world with their scorching chemistry, rebellious style, and rollercoaster relationship. Until a shocking incident at the Olympic Games brings their partnership to a sudden end.As the ten-year anniversary of their final skate approaches, an unauthorized documentary reignites the public obsession with Shaw and Rocha, claiming to uncover the "real story" through interviews with their closest friends and fiercest rivals. Kat wants nothing to do with the documentary. But she can't stand the thought of someone else defining her legacy either. So, after a decade of silence, she's telling her story: from the childhood tragedies that created her all-consuming bond with Heath to the clash of desires that tore them apart. Sensational rumors have haunted their every step for years, but the truth may be even more shocking than the headlines.Inspired by the powerful love and hate that fuel Emily Bronte's classic, Wuthering Heights, The Favorites is an exhilarating dance between passion, ambition, and what it truly means to win.

Four very different women have just lost the loves of their lives: Justine, a former fashion model adjusting to suburban life; Camille, a beautiful, young second wife some suspect is a gold digger; Krystle, committed to leaving the firm to her sons after her husband worked his whole life to support them all; and Meredith, a stripper at the local club who was in a secret relationship with the firm's sole female partner. While the crash is initially ruled a tragic accident, something's not adding up: The team wasn't supposed to be in New York that day, and it's soon revealed that there was a very large sum of cash that burned up with the plane. The women find themselves thrown together in search of the truth, with new danger and threats unfolding at every turn.Could a dissatisfied client be seeking revenge? Or were the partners involved in something bigger—something dangerous and deadly? What other secrets were the partners keeping, and how far might people go to ensure they stay hidden?

I liked today's book. And then I felt very weird that I liked it. Olivia Day, my guest who brought this confusing, twisty book into my life, is the co-host of the Thrillers by the Book Club pod. She is a long-time lover of thrillers, crime, and mystery stories, and a graduate of International Thriller Writer's Online Thriller School. Despite the grim thesis of the book we are discussing, Olivia and I had a lot of laughs as we discussed this book. And we drew a pretty effective through-line between the books that represent women's ultimate fantasies, whether they are sexual or, you know, murderous.   Host: Julie Strauss Website/Instagram   Guest: Olivia Day Instagram/Twitter   Join the Best Book Ever Newsletter HERE!   Subscribe for FREE to receive weekly emails with complete show notes, photos of our guests, and updates on what Julie is reading on her own time.   Support the podcast for just $5/month and you'll receive the weekly newsletter AND a monthly themed curated book list.   Become a Founder for $100 and you'll receive the weekly newsletter, the monthly curated book list, AND a personal thank you on the podcast AND a Best Book Ever T-Shirt in your favorite color and style.   Discussed in this episode:   Thrillers by the Book Club Podcast Chelsea Hofman on the Best Book Ever Podcast: Episode 137 and Episode 108 Pretty Girls by Karin Slaughter They Never Learn by Layne Fargo Temper by Layne Fargo The Collective by Alison Gaylin The Last Mrs. Parrish by Liv Constantine Best Book Ever Episode 013 Asha Sabella on The Last Mrs. Parrish Heartsick: A Thriller by Chelsea Cain What Lies in the Woods by Kate Alice Marshall Legends & Lattes by Travis Baldree   (Note: Some of the above links are affiliate links.

hello listeners! first i come to you with news of The Lavender Menace match making service currently live on the Patreon! SINGLES/NON-MONOG ONLY!!! also butches please fill out the form... the numbers are in your favor right now.episode 15 of season 4 was filmed in december 2022 and is a part of the collection of Sunnaissance IRL video content. we respond to a hot take that references The Will to Change by bell hooks and the necessity of communicating with men. we return to the question of how to decenter men without falling into the fallacies of lesbian separatism (a really good question). then we respond to a hot take about bisexual people not having a slur and also the bi vs pan distinction when moving in online spaces.our shared media portion of the episode is the Céline Sciamma directed film Petite Maman (2022). we were very excited to talk about this movie because we got to watch it on the big screen together in a theater to ourselves. we find ourselves at the beautiful intersection of Sunny's love for speculative fiction and Renaissance's love for French Romanticism (psst... read Renaissance's Taylor Swift x Romanticism essay on substack). it should not be a surprise that our passions overlap in a movie about mother-daughter relationships. a classic motif of the reviewed content here.like usual, we end the episode recommending each other pieces of media. Renaissance recommends A Girl Walks Home Alone at Night (2014) directed by Ana Lily Amirpour. It is a contemporary Iranian noir vampire film with a proclivity for showing feminist acts of violence. (yay!!) Sunny references The Never Learn by Layne Fargo in response to the film. Sunny recommends the (FRENCH) graphic novel Thieves by Lucie Bryon. "It's kind of like Heartstopper if it was French and for girls" - Sunny describing the book.hope you enjoy this episode!PatreonTwitterYoutube

In this episode, our hosts discuss the book, Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo. There are spoilers in this episode. If you don't mind spoilers continue at your own risk.

Now this book was twisted, BOTH because it had a great plot twist but also because every character had something dark about them, especially our serial killer protagonist who has such interesting morals in regards to the men she killed. This book reignited my obsession with anti-heroes (who will always be the most interesting characters), but also made me thing about how far can you push someone before they CRACK, or in this case, turn to murder… TW: mentions of violence against women (sexual assault). (Also SPOILER ALERT for Peaky Blinders, Umbrella Academy and Breaking Bad). SYNOPSIS:Scarlett Clark is an exceptional English professor. But she's even better at getting away with murder. Every year, she searches for the worst man at Gorman University and plots his well-deserved demise. Thanks to her meticulous planning, she's avoided drawing attention to herself—but as she's preparing for her biggest kill yet, the school starts probing into the growing body count on campus. Determined to keep her enemies close, Scarlett insinuates herself into the investigation and charms the woman in charge, Dr. Mina Pierce. Everything's going according to her master plan… until she loses control with her latest victim, putting her secret life at risk of exposure. Meanwhile, Gorman student Carly Schiller is just trying to survive her freshman year. Finally free of her emotionally abusive father, all Carly wants is to focus on her studies and fade into the background. Her new roommate has other ideas. Allison Hadley is cool and confident—everything Carly wishes she could be—and the two girls quickly form an intense friendship. So when Allison is sexually assaulted at a party, Carly becomes obsessed with making the attacker pay... and turning her fantasies about revenge into a reality.
