Netflix reminded your hosts that Shadow and Bone exists, so they decided that they'd read the first novel in Leigh Bardugo's trilogy. They are DEFINITELY not the target audience for these books. They discuss fantasy settings, chosen one tropes, and whether or not the Darkling is actually hot enough to warrant all of the conflict in this book. This episode also features a “Words are Weird” debating when, exactly, next Saturday is.Thanks to the following musicians for the use of their songs:- Amarià for the use of “Sérénade à Notre Dame de Paris”- Josh Woodward for the use of “Electric Sunrise”Licensed under Creative Commons: By Attribution 4.0 License
March 16 brings the beginning of spring, but it also bring the second season of Netflix's Shadow and Bone. To celebrate this incredible show adapted from a beloved Young Adult series, Sydney shares a fanfiction from a friend of the podcast, Chel (a.k.a. destinies), villainy lover, amazing guest, and an even more amazing fanfiction author. Her fanfiction welcomed the new Grishaverse/Darklina fans that came from the show, and with season 2 on the horizon, she will do it again with her fan-favorite fanfiction, Out of Time. Will this be everything we want from the new season and more? Will we walk away hoping this was actually what was coming in the show? Probably not because Leigh Bardugo is a very gifted writer... but so is Chel.

When I think of morally grey Kaz Brekker is at the top of that list! Each crow has such a special place in Maddie's heart, she's so glad that Tori now understands just how much better this book is than the Shadow and Bones series!!! We love and stan all of these couples and Leigh Bardugo has once again outdone herself. Leigh, PLEASE NEVER STOP WRITING.- Love, your two biggest book bitches
This episode, we come out firing, dicussing the editing of Roald Dahl texts, which we are very much troubled by. So, you die and then they change your texts? That seems dangerous and a search for fool's gold. Children are not some delicate class that needs to be protected from all potential language harms. This leads seamlessly into a discussion of Tom Crewe's "The New Life," an important new piece of fiction exploring gay life in the late 1800s, and the language choices Crewe makes, which leads to "After Sappho," which Hannah was ensorceled by, and explores the lives of lesbian women. But there's more! Campus novels! Hannah read "My Last Innocent Year" and enjoyed its lack of easy answers; Sam read "Hell Bent" and thinks it's maybe not Leigh Bardugo's best; Hannah read "A Likely Story" and you know she's a sucker for books about writers (but it's a bad-dad story, which sorta sucks).

Can a dark academia author recognize the names of demons? Can she tell us what really goes on behind closed doors in a secret society? Today, we're talking with Leigh Bardugo about her experience at Yale, the way hell is portrayed in her newest novel, and why demons and failed companies have eerily similar-sounding names. Hell Bent is the epic follow-up to Ninth House. Alex Stern thinks one can just casually go to hell and bring friends back, but the journey is a lot darker and more dangerous than she realized. This attempted rescue could cost her a future at Lethe and at Yale, and if she is going to survive, she'll have to reckon with the monsters of her past and a darkness built into the university's very walls.Get Hell Bent at bookofthemonth.com.

Fontana and Green look into the murder of a mob accountant. When his widow (Amy Ryan) messes up on the witness stand, the burglar who killed him is acquitted. Later the victim's best friend, a former cop, shoots him. McCoy and Borgia aren't buying his claim it was self-defense. He threatens to lie on the stand about planting evidence in past murder cases, jeopardizing dozens of convictions. To get a guilty verdict, Jack grants the widow immunity to testify...when she discloses the revenge killing was her plan all along.We're talking about Law & Order season 16 episode 12 "Family Friend." Our guest is Shadow and Bone and Hell Bent author Leigh Bardugo.This episode takes cues from the evidence planting scandal for New York State Police Troop C.
#1 bestselling author Leigh Bardugo joins us to discuss Hell Bent (Flatiron Books, Jan. 10), the second book in her high-octane “Alex Stern” fantasy series, set at Yale University. Kirkus: “The plot is relentless and clever, and the writing is vivid, intelligent, and funny at just the right moments, but best of all are the complex characters…each with a backstory that makes it possible for the reader to trust them to enter hell and have the strength to leave again” (starred review). Then our editors join with their reading recommendations for the week.
Yes, Hell Bent JUST came out. Yes, Yajaira and Cheli read both Ninth House AND Hell Bent in one week to talk about it.

“And I always tend to start a book with a very popcorn sensibility, like, oh, well, this'll be fun, we're gonna have a little romp. And then to tell the story, honestly, you tend — especially when you're talking about things like institutional power and social influence and economic influence — you're going to bump up against some pretty heavy themes. And that certainly happened with Ninth House and again with Hell Bent.” No one does magic and mayhem and unforgettable characters like Leigh Bardugo. She takes readers behind the scenes of Hell Bent, her latest novel and the long-awaited follow-up to Ninth House, riffing on setting the series at Yale University, what she learned from writing movie trailers, the advice Holly Black gave her about screen adaptations, reading The Princess Bride, magic as a metaphor for power (and what happens to the metaphor when the power is real), how Louise Erdrich shifted the way Leigh felt about fiction, writing morally gray characters, vampires, what she's been reading, what's next for her (hint: character-driven standalone) and much more in a laughter-filled conversation with guest host Kat Sarfas.

Daniels This episode of Poured Over was produced and hosted by Kat Sarfas and mixed by Harry Liang. Follow us here for new episodes Tuesdays and Thursdays (with occasional Saturdays).

Thank you to Joanna for commissioning this episode!I'm so VERY into this book, y'all (As of this posting, I have already read the 4 chapters that come after this and OH MY GOD), and I am starting to see the shape of what Leigh Bardugo is doing in this book. At least, I think I am. Sexual assault being tossed around as a plot point is something that I don't love, but she's clearly zeroing in on the way women are treated in a universe run by rich and powerful men, so this feels like it's really going somewhere.I'm here for it.See you soon (but not soon enough!) with a new episode!

Guest host Jo Riccioni chats to fellow debut fantasy author Stacey McEwan about her new release Ledge. Stacey is a well known book tokker who scored her publishing contract as a result of her huge following on Tik Tok. The result is Ledge, the first in a trilogy of fantasy books set in a place known as the Ledge, where a civilization is trapped by a vast chasm and sheer mountain face. There is no way for anyone to escape the frozen wasteland without befalling a deathly drop. They know nothing of the outside world except that it is where the Glacians reside; mystical winged creatures who bring them meagre rations to survive, in exchange for a periodic human sacrifice.Dawsyn, axe wielder and only remaining member of her family, has so far avoided the seasonal culling, but her luck has run out. She is chosen and ripped from her icy home, the only world she knows. No one knows what will happen to her on the other side, least of all Dawsyn. Consumed? Enslaved? Worse?Thankfully, escape may be within her grasp with the help of a half-Glacian called Ryon. But who is to say that the life below will be any better than the one she has run from? Ledge is story of survival, sacrifice, and revenge. Jo Riccioni is the author of The Branded, Book One of THE BRANDED SEASON duology.A century after a virus has decimated the population, the Continent's survivors are divided into two classes: the Branded who are vulnerable to disease, and the Pure who are bigger, stronger and immune. Orphan Nara and her sister, Osha, are sequestered in the citadel of Isfalk, where their pure skin entitles them to a life of privilege as precious immune breeding stock. But when the girls are kidnapped by Wasteland traders, their narrow views of the class system begin to erode. Nara accepts the help of the Wrangler, a southern Brand with a shady past, who knows much more than he should about the sisters' parentage and Nara's strange new powers. The Branded Season is Year of Wonders meets The Handmaid's Tale, kidnapped by Mad Max. It's medieval-inspired fantasy with a post-apolcalyptic twist, served up with all the romance, conflict and quick-fire narrative pace expected by readers of Jay Kristoff, Leigh Bardugo and S.A. Chakraborty. Grab a cuppa and join Jo and Stacey on The Convo Couch as they talk about Ledge, Stacey's path to publication, fantasy tropes and more.

We are very excited to bring to you our 2nd conversation with Leigh Bardugo. We first spoke with Leigh during the middle of the pandemic and the title of Rule of Wolves had not been released yet. Join us as we continue our conversation with her and find out more about the Grishaverse and gain some knowledge into a few things we have all been waiting to know. We finally get Leigh's interpretation of the title of Rule of Wolves. We take a deep dive into the new Demon in the Wood Graphic Novel where we learn more about the Darkling and Baghra's oil and water relationship. Who is to blame for the Darkling's cunning behavior? Which of Leigh's novels did the writers of Season 2 of Netflix Shadow & Bone draw many plot points for the upcoming season? We find out what Leigh is currently working on, and it will definitely not be what you are expecting. Ninth House, Hellbent, Ben Barnes, little Sylivi's a slut! It's all in this episode; so much that you just need to press play and stop reading. We always wish we had more time, but there are plenty of juicy nuggets of information and we promise to keep you satisfied until next time.

Geoff and Julianna have been off on their own amazing adventures in the past few weeks, much like the Darkling in Leigh Bardugo's latest release.

Are there any actual heroes or villains in this story? We aren't 100% sure Julianna runs the Chicago marathon (and it took quite an interesting turn) Geoff performed at Denver LeakyCon We've been so busy on our adventures, we forgot the question we asked our listeners a few weeks ago Next time: chapters 8, 9 and 10!

We're back! It seems like we only closed out Season 2 with the wonderful ‘The Raven Boys' only days ago, but it's been seven weeks! Autumn is now in full swing here in the south of England and it's dark academia season bby. It's only right to start the season with a bang. It's time to bring a Leigh Bardugo novel into our little universe and we're diving into ‘Ninth House' ahead of the release of the sequel, ‘Hell Bent', in just a few months.
Chloe Gong joins Aliah and Caitlin to discuss the anatomy of a spinoff, how to approach writing an extension of your own world and stories that still feels familiar while also being new. Chloe is the #1 New York Times bestselling author of These Violent Delights, its sequel Our Violent Ends, and the first in a new duology set in the same world, Foul Lady Fortune. She is a recent graduate of the University of Pennsylvania, where she double-majored in English and International Relations. Born in Shanghai and raised in Auckland, New Zealand, Chloe is now located in New York pretending to be a real adult. Works we mention in this episode: Leigh Bardugo's Grishaverse and Gideon the Ninth by Tamsyn Muir. Don't forget to check out the sweet signed special editions we're doing for Marissa Meyer's Gilded duology in our shop!

Howdy friends!Instagram: happilybookedpodcastFacebook: Happily Booked Podcast Email: happilybookedpodcast@gmail.com (Anything non-podcast related and/or inappropriate will be reported)Tik Tok: happilybookedpodcastAs always, we are so glad to be able to have our podcast fun and chat away like crazy on Mondays! We are honored that you lovely people want to listen to our rambles...okay, fine! You want to hear about books! But we're a rambly pair and if you ask us to change, you're asking for far too much! But in all seriousness, thank you so much for listening! We (we as in Brooke) trailed off a good bit in this episode, so brace yourselves! There is one spot in this episode where we are chatting about a certain book and accidentally drop the name of one of our dear pals. We did our best to edit it out for privacy reasons seeing as we have not confirmed with this person if it was alright to say her name! So you will probably be able to hear when the slip-up happened as we go from talking calmly to giggling like fools! Oh well! We are who we are. Also, from the time we recorded this episode to its publishing (today, 9/05/22), we gained a wonderful listener from "across the pond" in Europe! Hello friend!! We are so honored you chose to download two of our episodes! Much love to ya! But we wanted to apologize because in this recording we did not have you as a listener just yet and there is a moment we mentioned some other fun locations that we are being downloaded in. We apologize and will rectify that, not in the next episode, but in the one after in Ep. 6! For some unknown reason, I said the author of The Dewberry Farm Mysteries was a "Katherine". That was entirely incorrect, that cozy mystery series is written by a KAREN MacInerney! I apologize for the confusion that I am putting out into the world. Alright, I believe that was all! Below are the treasured show notes! Thanks again for listening and enjoy!P.S.- The movie The Passengers is not as creepy as Brooke makes it out to be. :)10:05 - The Hunger Games Trilogy by Suzanne Collins10:20 - The Wolf and The Woodsman by Ava Reid 10:55 - The Dewberry Farm Mysteries by Karen MacInerney12:30 - Currently Reading Podcast - https://www.currentlyreadingpodcast.com/13:35 - Caron One Pound Acrylic Yarn 14:14 - Psych Tv Show (2006)17:06 - Harry Potter and The Sorcerer's Stone by J.
