Podcast appearances and mentions of linsey miller

The Disney Dummies are back for our second edition of Disney Book Club, which you may remember we covered the novel sequel to Pixar's Brave called Bravely (2022) on a previous episode. Well this time we are going back to the world of mermaids and sea witches as we sail the pages of The Little Mermaid universe. Speaking of, have you ever watched The Little Mermaid and wondered "Hm, I wonder what Prince Eric was thinking through that movie and what his whole deal and backstory is?" Well look no further as this week we answer just that by discussing one of the three Disney Prince Novels, with Linsey Miller's Prince of Song & Sea (2022).  The post Disney Book Club – Prince of Song & Sea Book by Linsey Miller (2022) appeared first on PodCavern.

There is always so much optimism as businesses start ringing in the New Year. So many plans for company growth, and sometimes that forward momentum presents an opportunity for a new role. Should you pass it up? If you accept, should you pretend to be like someone you are not?   In my conversation with the Vice President of Global Business Development at Resideo, Linsey Miller, we discuss opportunities, struggles, advice, and authenticity while navigating a leadership role.    Listen to the episode here: https://link.chtbl.com/lyl   In this episode you'll hear:   [1:39] An introduction to Linsey Miller with a brief career history. [3:29] Linsey's love for science and technology guided her decision to a business-focused career journey. [7:01] Paying it forward with mentoring women to have the confidence to take on new roles. [9:29] A self-assessment test that led to surprising results in finding my authenticity. [14:10] As the leader in the room, give yourself the opportunity to be open to feedback with a growth mindset. [17:00] Finding ways to connect the goals of the company to the individual goals of your employees. [21:20] If I could tell my younger self a piece of advice, what would that be? [24:35] How writing a letter to an author gave me some paradoxically wonderful advice. [28:05] Remember that people are promoted to a new role based on potential and not past experience. [32:02] How do you feel about your leadership legacy, and what impact is important to you? [34:28] For all you working moms out there, we know how tough it is and love to provide any guidance and encouragement to keep going in the workforce.

Amanda and Jenn discuss coming-of-age literary fiction, M/M sci-fi, novellas, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Loveboat, Taipei by Abigail Hing Wen (rec’d by Laura) Minor Feelings by Cathy Park Hong and The Starless Sea by Erin Morgenstern (rec’d by Elizabeth) The Raven Cycle by Maggie Stiefvater (rec’d by Maria) Disfigured: On Fairy Tales, Disability, and Making Space by Amanda Leduc Questions 1. I need a book for my book club, preferably fiction. We made the terrible decision of reading both of Sally Rooney’s novels back-to-back and now nothing seems nearly as good as her complex characters and the painfully relatable interactions between them. We are all in our early/mid twenties and enjoy reading books that relate to the painful growing pains of figuring out adulthood and who we are as adults. We love Sally Rooney’s engrossing dialogue, straightforward writing style and her well developed coming-of-age intellectuals. In the past we’ve enjoyed books by Celeste Ng, Anne Patchett and Lydia Davis. Excited to hear your thoughts! -Emily 2. Best underrated Tor novellas?  Thanks!  -Shontelle 3. Looking for fiction/nonfiction about non-cis/non-trans people/characters. I’m interested in people or characters who don’t feel they fit in the gender binary.  -Shaina 4. Hi! First off, I just want to say that I love your podcast. I’ve been listening since the first episode, and it’s been one of my favorite podcasts ever since. I’ve never sent in a recommendation request before, but I figured during quarantine, when I have all the time in the world basically, now would be a good time.  I’m in a strange place in that I consider myself a sci-fi fan because I watch a lot of sci-fi, but I realized recently I haven’t actually read much of it. I’ve read some classic sci-fi, like Dune (which I love), and Foundation (which I didn’t really like), but not much else aside from a lot of Star War novelizations, and Star Trek fanfiction. A few sci-fi books on my radar are Ninefox Gambit, Ancillary Justice, A Memory Called Empire, and The Traitor Baru Cormorant. I think I’m more interested in space opera, or at least sci-fi that isn’t too scientific or mathy, but I’m not really sure. I also would like it if you could recommend to me some gay m/m sci-fi. I’ve found a lot of queer women sci-fi which is awesome, but haven’t been able to find any sci-fi dealing with queer men, which I find a little strange. The only one I have found was Bond of Brass which I picked up because people were saying it was basically finnpoe fanfiction, but I’m not sure why they are saying that since it’s so different in concept as well as the characters. I also found the love interest insufferable, and I’m not sure how much I actually enjoyed the moral question of whether or not the main character should literally fight for the colonists who destroyed his world. I think it could have been an interesting premise, but I didn’t like how it was handled, and the bad love interest on top of it just made it worse for me. I ended up not being able to finish it.  Please no comics or graphic novels please. I’m not sure about YA recs unless you know of a YA that is particularly good, and more on the mature side of things. I don’t usually get on well with YA except for a few exceptions. Thank you again for your amazing podcast!  -Anonymous 5. Hi! I’m looking for a good LGBT read but not a coming out story. I’ve been through the years of figuring out who I am and coming out to people. While that is an important part of my past, it’s not part of my every day. I’m happily married and my wife is pregnant with our first baby. I’m looking for a read where the main character just is gay. I read starless sea and loved it. Any type of fiction is fine except short story or graphic novel.  Thanks! -Jessica 6. I love podcasts and recently listened to Noble Blood about Queen Ranavalona I. And I was fascinated. I love historical regency fiction. Philippa Gregory, Alison Weir, Diana Gabaldon… But I could not find anything on this queen from Madagascar. I would love the help to find something if not on her exactly on any lesser known queens from elsewhere; Elizabeth Bathory, Empress Wu Zetian… I’m up for it all. -Ryeannuh 7. My wife and I have an awesome 8yo daughter. We have a number of picture books that reflect her Two Mom family, but she’s getting older and I would love to find some chapter books that for elementary age kids that feature a character with two moms. Do you have any you can recommend? -Carrie Books Discussed Five Little Indians by Michelle Good (tw: rape, child abuse, racism) Make Your Home Among Strangers by Jennine Capo Crucet Sisters of the Vast Black by Lina Rather The Ghurka and the Lord of Tuesday by Saad Z.

Amanda, Jenn, and guest expert Kelly Jensen discuss all things YA in this week's episode of Get Booked! This episode is sponsored by Mask of Shadows by Linsey Miller and Book of the Month.   Questions   1. I just finished Honesty by Seth King. It was intense, heavy and unlike any other literary experience I've had to date -- I was stuck inside the brain of Cole Furman and I couldn't get out for 291 pages not matter how uncomfortable, intense, exciting, lonely or heartbreaking it was! It's a story of young love. It's is also a story of fear and pain. Cole and Nick are falling in love and they are also both closeted LGBTQ nineteen-year- old's with everything to lose in the South. King acknowledged the need for more books featuring more diverse couples that don't live deep in the romance genre. Until now it's something I never thought twice about. THE QUEST: I want to read more stories of diverse couples that lives closer to the YA genre and maybe even one with a happy ending, but not required. Love the podcast! Shout out to Fiona for introducing me to Book Riot! --Jenna   2. Do you have recommendations for YA books that don't include romance? My almost 13 year old daughter is a somewhat reluctant reader, but likes books with strong female characters and prefers no icky love stuff :) She recently read the Divergent Series and enjoyed it, but could have done without the romantic relationships. Thanks! --Julie   3. I've just read The Selection and Cinder and am looking for more YA dystopian Cinderella stories. Any suggestions? --Shaina   4. Hi! I love listening to your podcast and adding tons of books to my TBR list. I read a book last summer called Fiercombe Manor by Kate Riordan and loved it. I would call it a romance/mystery/ghost story. Can you recommend some similar books for my summer reading list? I love YA, so am open to that as well! Thanks! --Rebecca   5. I used to read YA books all the time when I was little, but once I started high school I decided in all my teenage snobbishness that YA was beneath me, and I'd only be reading the classics... and The Perks of Being a Wallflower (obviously). Now I'm in my 20s working on my doctorate in classics, and no longer want to or feel the need to be so snobby. I've recently discovered bookstagram, and I'm constantly seeing all these beautiful covers of YA novels. The only thing is what to read? I tried reading The Raven Cycle, but I found the characters to be so shallowly written. And the whole extreme/unrealistic wealth and privilege just seemed so far fetched. I thought I might have better luck with fantasy YA but there is so much and I have no idea how to sort the good from the bad. --Keira   6. First, let me tell you I love your podcast! Second, I would love your recommendations (obvs). My son and I just read a great YA book called Away Running by David Wright and Luc Bouchard. It resonated with my son who is sports-obsessed because it's about football but it is deeper than most kids' sports books because it takes place in Paris amid racial tensions and immigrations issues. It's deep. I'd love more books like this to engage my son...some sports but more than just sports. Bonus if there are diverse characters (as there are in Away Running) because my son is biracial and seeing himself reflected in the characters allows for us to have even better conversations after reading. Thank you so much! --Cathy   Books It's Not Like It’s a Secret by Misa Sugiura No Is Not Enough by Naomi Klein Genuine Fraud by E Lockhart Tell Me Again How a Crush Should Feel by Sara Farizan Not Your Sidekick by CB Lee Everything Leads To You by Nina LaCour 100 Must-Read YA Books With Little Or No Romance Code Name Verity by Elizabeth Wein Empress of a Thousand Skies by Rhoda Belleza Life As We Knew It by Susan Beth Pfeffer Ash by Malinda Lo Mechanica by Betsy Cornwell “Glass” in Roses and Bones by Francesca Lia Block A Spy in the House by YS Lee The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma Absent by Katie Williams Saints and Misfits by SK Ali (trigger warning: sexual assault) Ramona Blue by Julie Murphy Piecing Me Together by Renee Watson Miles Morales by Jason Reynolds Mexican WhiteBoy by Matt De la Pena (trigger warning: self-harm) See No Color by Shannon Gibney Leverage by Joshua C.
