Interview starts at 4:03. Bestselling fantasy author Leigh Bardugo ("Shadow and Bone") discusses her new novel, “The Familiar,” with faculty member Canan Bolel in this December 8, 2024, conversation at the University of Washington. In the novel, Bardugo follows the struggles of a “converso” heroine — from a family forced to convert to Christianity and keep its Jewish heritage secret in 16th-century Spain — who draws magic from her family's secret language, Ladino, and the refranes (sayings) that preserve Sephardic Jewish wit and wisdom across time. In the conversation, Bardguo discusses what drew her to this story and setting, how she wove Ladino into her narrative, the family history that inspired her, and the collaboration with Bolel that led to the selection of refranes included in the book.
#1 New York Times bestselling author Leigh Bardugo chats with Zibby about THE FAMILIAR, a spellbinding, lush, richly imagined novel set in the Spanish Golden Age that follows Lucia, a servant with miraculous abilities who becomes entangled in the political and religious turmoil of King Philip II's court. Leigh discusses how this story, inspired by her own Sephardic Jewish heritage, weaves themes of ambition, identity, and survival. She also talks about her journey as a writer, from finding solace in science fiction as a child to overcoming personal and professional hurdles to pen her debut novel.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/49ctW43Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

A security specialist with a life-threatening brain chip. A changeling chef with her own guarded secrets. Bowen and Kaia's love story starts off as a slow burn in “Ocean Light,” but things heat up and combust before the tale is over. This book not only explores the romance and challenges between Bowen and Kaia but also serves as an intense lesson for authors on how to continuously raise the stakes throughout a novel. It is a masterclass on how to maintain suspense and tension all the way to the last page.

Smack and Gabi are facing off in their 4th Annual Showdown Throwdown in which we compete to see who had the better reading experience during Mysterious Galaxy's Summer Bingo. Gabi actually won Mysterious Galaxy's black-out bingo lottery this year, so we begin with an accounting of how those winnings were spent (on books, of course). Then we get into Showdown Throwdown proper, with Smack trying to redeem herself after losing last year largely due to her inability to win our tie-breakers (rock-paper-scissors). Unfortunately, she's up against some heavy hitters as Gabi has had a pretty great reading year and managed to stack her draft picks (a little bit). However, Smack does have some impressive contenders in her corner, including a sequel to a book we both loved (and Smack rated as in her top three books of all time) and a novel by T. Kingfisher, queen of blending fairy tales and horror. Time will tell whose line-up will triumph! In this part one of two, the books showdowned throwdowned include: The Witches' Blade (Five Crowns of Okrith #2) by A.K. Mulford v. Dreadful by Caitlin Rozakis Those Beyond the Wall (The Space Between Worlds #2) by Micaiah Johnson v. Murdle: Vol. 3 (Murdle #3) by G.T. Karber The Familiar by Leigh Bardugo v.
