We have a REPLAY episode for you this week. Novelist Namrata Patel was on the show last June when her debut novel The Candid Life of Meena Dave came out. Just last week she had a new novel published, The Scent of A Garden. Both books feature complex multi-generational Indian-American families. ** Namrata Patel has been writing for 20 years, but it wasn't until the pandemic that she had more time to work on it. She had always been interested in dual culture and challenges of the diaspora, specifically Indians who had moved to the United States. The isolation of COVID really brought home how lonely life can be if you don't feel like you fit anywhere. Her debut novel The Candid Life of Meena Dave follows a photojournalist who inherits an apartment from a stranger. The apartment in Back Bay Boston surrounds her with a close-knit network of other Indian-Americans. Meena comes to learn more about herself and her culture, as well as understands the gift of found family and friendship through this experience. You can find Namrata Patel on instagram at @namratapatelauthor, on Twitter at Nampatel or on her author website, www.nampatel.com.

Welcome to Episode 165! We can't wait for you to listen to our Author Spotlight with DIANE WILSON! We were honored to talk with Diane about her moving, multi-generational debut novel, THE SEED KEEPER. Diane also talks about her writing process, her next book project, and more. In our Just Read segment, Emily talks about Elle Cosimano's FINLAY DONOVAN KNOCKS ‘EM DEAD, THE KEEPER by Kelcey Ervick (a future guest), and a weird short story by Roald Dahl called “Pig.” Chris finished THE WARMTH OF OTHER SUNS by Isabel Wilkerson, a book of stunning breadth and depth. She both read the paperback edition and listened to the audiobook that was brilliantly narrated by Robin Miles. Both of us also read The Seed Keeper and had such a wonderful time talking with listeners on the Zoom call. Thank you to everyone who joined in on the readalong. In Biblio Adventures, Emily made it to POP! Art Books Culture in Boardman, Ohio. Chris has been binging the Outlander series on Netflix and started Lovecraft Country (HBO) which is based on the novel of the same name by Matt Ruff. Emily got to see the documentary, Hello Bookstore, which was in town for one night only at the Madison Arts Cinema. And both Book Cougars enjoyed some library time at the E. C. Scranton Memorial Library also in Madison, CT. There's lots more book talk in this episode and we hope you enjoy it! If you do, please consider reviewing us on iTunes as it can help other book lovers find us. Thank you, and until next time we wish you lots of happy reading!

  Checking In! Is Gwen a scammer now? She learned how to use OfferUp! Danielle is sleepy because of rainy weather. Deep Dive: Pop Culture Historicals Gwen and Danielle are OBSESSED with costume dramas and historical fiction and romance. We're not sorry about it at all, nor are we sorry about how much fun you're going to have when you watch these shows and movies or read these books. Danielle mentioned a monthly romance blogger twitter chat, hosted by @readRchat. Historicals and Fairy Tales come up a lot! Gwen's Gateway Historicals: Anne of Green Gables, Road to Avonlea, Little Women, Pride & Prejudice Gwen's Sexy Historicals: North and South, The Serpent's Kiss, Dangerous Liaisons, Washington Square, The Favorite, The Great Gwen's Modern/More Recent Historicals: Velvet Goldmine, Never Let Me Go (sorta), Lovecraft Country, Watchmen (THEM is a new show on Amazon), The Crown Gwen's Biopics: Chaplin, Rocketman, What's Love Got to Do with It, Elizabeth and Elizabeth: The Golden Age (we also digressed a bit about the recent Chadwick Boseman episode of NPR's Pop Culture Happy Hour for their thought-provoking commentary on why biopic performances work so well but the movies don't always pan out). Danielle hasn't met an Austen and Little Women adaptation she doesn't love: Emma 2020, Mansfield Park 1999, P&P 2005; LW 1994 and 2019. Special shout out to Clueless (which is sort of a historical film now, LOL to mask our tears)—the best adaptation of Emma to date. Danielle is trash for anything related to the War of the Roses and Tudor England: The White Queen, The White Princess, The Tudors, and Game of Thrones Danielle is here for PRETTY historicals: Downton Abbey (and most Masterpiece historical dramas), Sophia Coppola's Marie Antoinette, Harlots Danielle recommends “literary” shows, too: Dickinson (VERY anachronistic), Lovecraft Country/HBO, Baz Luhrman's Romeo + Julie and The Great Gatsby (even Moulin Rouge!, too), Joe Wright's Anna Karenina Danielle has a TON of historical romance recommendations! Beverly Jenkin's does such a phenomenal job with American history and Black history, portraying the hard things people went through but also showing how joyful their lives could be—she spoke about this on NPR with Karen Grigbsy Bates. TEMPEST is among D's favorites, but you can't go wrong with any of Ms. Bev's books. Alyssa Cole's Loyal League series is about Black spies for the Union army. For regency romances, Danielle turns to authors like Tessa Dare, Olivia Drake, Sarah MacLean, and Vanessa Riley! In terms of historical fiction, Danielle still gravitates to stories with romantic elements. Chanel Cleeton's Perez Family Saga set during the rise of Castro and the Cuban Revolution. Her book NEXT YEAR IN HAVANA was a Reese Witherspoon book club pick. It's also based on her family's history! Gwen loves a true classic of the historical romance genre: Loretta Chase's Lord of Scoundrels. For historical fiction, she enjoys Phillipa Gregory!   Recs from Vanessa: Here's a photo from Vanessa's Instagram that shows her amazing IKEA Bookshelves (something similar to Vanessa's shelves can be found here) You don't have to read Book 1, A DUKE, THE LADY, AND A BABY, to follow along with AN EARL, THE GIRL, AND A TODDLER, but Vanessa recommends it for better insight with some of the references in Book2. Vanessa's website is a treasure trove of information about her historical research! Learn more about Dorothy “Doll” Kirwan Thomas ahead of the release of ISLAND QUEEN this July. Look for *major announcements* coming soon! Vanessa also shared that she has a new historical fiction novel, SISTER MOTHER WARRIOR, about the women who shaped the Haitian Revolution. For more about Vanessa, go to https://vanessariley.com/, sign up for her newsletter, and follow her on the socials: Twitter, Facebook, Instagram.   Goals/Comfort & Joy Danielle's wants to re-read all of Jane Austen this summer! This goal is inspired by the Jane Austen & Co. Race and the Regency webinars. Ibi Zoboi discussed remixing the regency and her YA P&P retelling PRIDE; Dr. Tricia Matthew (who wrote a very detailed review for Bridgerton in the LA Review of Books) talked about abolition and racism tied to Wedgewood china, and so many others. Recordings are available on the Jane Austen Co's website: https://www.janeaustenandco.org/recorded-events Gwen is going to move for to move for 30+ minutes a day, perhaps while listening to the Newcomers podcast with Lauren Lapkiss and Nicole Byer which is tackling Tyler Perry's oeuvre this season; also lighting a candle every day helps her set a routine and signal to her brain to start working!     Find us on the Socials!

Crescer numa sociedade heteronormativa, branca, magra e com vários outros padrões sociais não é fácil: crianças negras não se sentem representadas por seus heróis e bonecas, crianças gordas são vistas como doentes, jovens não veem sua sexualidade mostrada nos filmes e novelas, mulheres não se sentem representadas na política ou até mesmo em cargos de liderança. Para falar melhor sobre esse assunto, os convidados do episódio são: Mauro Baracho e Bruna Cândido.

Yet if Yossarian makes any attempt to avoid his military assignments, he'll be in violation of Catch-22, a hilariously sinister bureaucratic rule which specifies that a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers which are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind; a man is considered insane if he willingly continues to fly dangerous combat missions, but a request to be removed from duty is evidence of sanity and therefore makes him ineligible to be relieved from duty."   ‘Central Park Five' (Netflix, 2019) Created byAva DuVernay Starring Michael K.
