The power that can come from seeing your own experiences reflected in stories cannot be understated. This week In the Den, Jen chats with New York Times bestselling author Mackenzi Lee about the importance of representation, and queer representation in particular, in literature. Representation matters because what we see in the media doesn't just reflect reality. It has the potential to shape it. Books that depict and normalize queer relationships, queer identities, and queer stories in books help increase understanding in general, and give LGBTQ young people a vision of what their future could be.  Special Guest: Mackenzi LeeMackenzi Lee holds a BA in history and an MFA from Simmons College in writing for children and young adults. She is the author of ten books, including The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, which was a New York Times bestseller, received a 2018 Stonewall Book Award Honor, and won the New England Book Award; and a series of novels for Marvel which tell the origin story of your favorite MCU antiheroes. Her adult debut, LADY LIKE, is forthcoming from Dial Press. In 2020, Forbes Magazine included her on their list of 30 Under 30 in media.

 This month, we discuss adventure stories, one of the prompts on the Books and Bites Bingo Reading Challenge. Choose your own adventure, whether it's with a group of teens on a road trip, on top of Mount Everest, or on a pirate ship! Jacqueline's PickJacqueline enjoyed Five Survive by New York Times bestselling author Holly Jackson. Red Kenny is on a road trip for spring break with five friends. When their RV breaks down in the middle of nowhere with no cell service, they soon realize this is no accident. They have been trapped by someone out there in the dark, someone who clearly wants one of them dead. With eight hours until dawn, the six friends must escape, or figure out which of them is the target.Pairing: No-Bake Peanut Butter Protein Cookies, a yummy road-trip treat.Michael's PickMichael took a trip to Mount Everest with Jon Krakauer's nonfiction book, Into Thin Air. Working for Outside magazine, Krakauer was given the opportunity to ascend Mount Everest, the tallest mountain in the world, during the 1996 climbing season on Rob Hall's team, Hall being one of the most experienced and respected climbers and guides in the world. They were about to witness one of the deadliest days in the mountain's history. A storm rolled in on summit day that ultimately left eight people dead. This is Krakauer's personal account of that expedition, relying on interviews with others to corroborate his experiences and provide perspective.Pairing: A hot cup of Masala Chai.Carrie's PickCarrie went on an adventure with The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee, a YA novel that takes place in the 18th century. Felicity Montague wants to become a doctor, but the English and Scottish hospital boards she appeals to for apprenticeship turn her down because of her gender. When she learns that one of her medical idols is about to marry her childhood best friend and may need an assistant, she sets out for Germany to plead her case. What follows is a quest with two other young women involving pirates, a voyage to Algeria, and (spoiler alert!) sea monsters.Pairing: Shakshouka, an Algerian dish of eggs poached in a sauce of tomatoes, bell peppers, jalapeno, onion, and spices. Find the recipe in the library database AtoZ World Food.

Plus Midnight Suns DLC release, a Hellfire Gala in real life, and the Loki soundtrack on vinyl. News – 01:23Interview w/ Mackenzi Lee– 21:17Community – 46:07

1954: The Winter Soldier is the Soviet Union's greatest weapon. Assigned the most dangerous covert missions from the USSR's secret military branch and guided by a handler who knows him better than he knows himself, he has only one purpose: to obey orders. But he wasn't always the Winter Soldier . . . 1941: As World War II begins, sixteen-year-old Bucky Barnes is determined to enlist in the US army—if only the local commander will stop getting in his way. When Bucky is offered enrollment in a training program with the British Special Operations Executive—the UK's secret service—he leaps at the chance to become a hero. But Bucky has hardly touched down in London when he finds himself running from a mysterious assassin and accompanied by an English chess champion fond of red lipstick and double crosses. She's in possession of a secret every side is desperate to get their hands on. If only they knew what it was . . . Decades later, the Winter Soldier struggles to solve the same mystery Bucky is just beginning to uncover. As their missions intersect across time, their lives collide too—in a way that neither of them would have expected, and that will change the course of their respective wars. In The Winter Soldier: Cold Front, New York Times best-selling author Mackenzi Lee explores the youth of one of Marvel's most compelling characters, James Buchanan "Bucky" Barnes—and the enemy soldier he is forced to become.

Mackenzi Lee talks about her latest novel for Marvel, "Winter Soldier," which focuses on the intriguing character of Bucky Barnes, Captain America's sidekick, and his origins.

GUESTS:  NY Times Best-Selling author MacKenzi Lee chats new book GAMORA AND NEBULA: SISTERS IN ARMS. Second guest is international ixon, multi-award winning music artist and actor Fahran Akhtar, who stars in the new Amazon Prime Video film TOOFAN.  Farhan became the first male Goodwill Ambassador for UN Women in South Asia, joining a list which includes the likes of Emma Watson, Nicole Kidman and many other high profile actors.

Gamora arrives on Torndune—a once-lush planet that has been strip-mined for the power source beneath its surface—with a mission: collect the heart of the planet. She doesn't know who sent her, why they want it, or even what the heart of a planet looks like. But as the right hand and daughter of Thanos, and one of the galaxy's most legendary warriors, her job is not to ask questions. Her job is to do what she's told, no matter the cost. What she doesn't know is that her sister, Nebula, is in hot pursuit. Nebula has followed Gamora to Torndune in hopes of claiming the planet's heart first and shaming her sister as vengeance for the part she played in Nebula losing her arm. While Gamora falls in with a group of miners attempting to overthrow the mining corporation, Nebula allies herself with the Universal Church of Truth. Both sisters hope their alliance will give them access to one of the massive diggers capable of drilling to the center of the planet. But the closer they get to the heart of the planet—and to each other—the closer they get to uncovering the truth of what brought them there. A competition they can never win . . . unless they learn to trust each other.

This week, Josh's significantly better half joins us to help us put together a playlist based on the hit series Bridgerton that will actually give you some solid suggestions. She discusses several excellent television series, including Reign, Outlander, and Sanditon, as well as the new film adaptation of Little Women. Dietrich and Josh attempt to throw a few suggestions into the ring as well, with Dietrich raving about the outstanding The Great, Josh recommending an excellent novel by Mackenzi Lee, and they wrap up with a contentious discussion about a new Sherlock Holmes adaptation. In addition, they discuss a new Sarah Langdon book, a surreal entry into the Marvel Cinematic Universe, and more. You can send questions or comments to playlistquestions@gmail.com.

Welcome back, friends. It's Sarah's birth month, so she got to choose our topic: BOOKS! It's a good one! Question 1: Name 3 books throughout your life that have shaped who you are today?    Birthday Sarah starts us off.   SARAH'S FIRST BOOK: Grimm's Fairy Tales, the really old, darker, less happily-ever-after versions of so many stories we know and love. Did we say darker? How about WAY darker? Like, Snow White has a lot of hearts being cut out of animals. Some stories have people gouging out eyes.    Sarah regales us with a retelling of a family favorite: “Little One Eye, Little Two Eyes, Little Three Eyes,” a classic Cinderella-type story, where “Cinderella” is named for how many eyes she has (spoiler: It's two). Her stepmother and stepsisters have either fewer or more eyes than that, and they treat Little Two Eyes really badly. A wise woman tries to help out and somehow makes it worse. (You're gonna need this palate cleanser.) But then along comes a knight to make it all better. And then Sarah hits us with the coolest part of this story: Sarah might be a Grimm on her mom's side!   BRYN'S FIRST BOOK: Little House in the Big Woods, by Laura Ingalls Wilder. The first book in a 9-book series of the author's experiences growing up as a little girl in the “big woods” of Wisconsin in 1871. Bryn read it as a child, and has come back to it throughout her life. She has a favorite memory of her mother reading it to her and her brother by firelight one night during a power outage.    Favorite chapters: Christmas, the Sugar Snow, Dance at Grandpa's. Favorite thing about the book: the writing, thanks in large part to Wilder's daughter, Rose Wilder Lane, who made the books into what they became: New Yorker article from August 2009. Resource: Racism and Cultural insensitivity in the Little House books Excellent article by Liz Fields in the American Masters section of PBS.org: Laura Ingalls Wilder: Prairie to Page, What should be done about racist depictions in the “Little House” books?    SARAH'S SECOND BOOK: Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. An 1813  novel that follows Elizabeth Bennett and her sister Jane, who are of marriageable age, and must navigate suitors, social engagements, family and societal pressures. The novel delves into manners and etiquette of English society, the importance of marrying for love rather than money or social prestige, and overall has such delightful depictions of characters that captured Sarah's teenage imagination.    P&P Watch List: Take your pick Or go straight to Sarah's fave, the BBC's excellent 1995 6-part miniseries starring Colin Firth in his breakout role, and Jennifer Ehle. Bonus reading: Pride and Prejudice and Zombies Bonus Watching: Bridget Jones' Diary   BRYN'S SECOND BOOK: The Passion, by Jeannette Winterson, a fairy tale set in an historical place and time. It's the fantastical, magical, often dark story of Henri (a French soldier and Napoleon's chef during the Napoleonic Wars) and Villanelle, the heart-broken red-haired daughter of a Venetian boatman, who has webbed feet and is a free thinker who lives in the moment.   What's a villanelle? The book started to mirror the poetic form in some ways, like unlocking a secret This was Bryn's first introduction to gender fluidity    SARAH'S THIRD BOOK: Heir to the Empire, by Timothy Zahn. After seeing the original Star Wars trilogy for the first time in 1991, Sarah this newly published first book of the Thrawn trilogy at her local library and FREAKED out. It's set 5 years after Return of the Jedi and features Leia and Han as a married couple, starting a family (twins are coming!), working for the Republic and Luke is planning a Jedi Training Academy, while what's left of the Imperials are slowly amassing under Grand Admiral Thrawn. He uses his knowledge of Leia, Luke and the leaders of the New Republic against them in an epic struggle for power.   A book that continued the story of a movie blew Sarah's mind. It unlocked her imagination in a new way. And her knowledge of all those stories and love of those books has connected her with many Star Wars friends with the rise of social media.  Check out Sarah's recap of her chat with the author himself, Timothy Zahn, at a party at Star Wars Celebration Orlando on Skywalking Through Neverland episode 165!     BRYN'S THIRD BOOK: Still Life with Woodpecker, by Tom Robbins, in which an exiled princess and a libertarian anarchist, who are both redheads, meet and sort of fall in love. Bryn didn't want to choose this book as her third pick, but she did anyway because of her husband's wisdom.   Bryn read it while temping at offices in Orange County (she also read The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, by Douglas Adams during that time, but didn't love it.) Felt sort of dangerous and bold and funny and true at the time to naive 21-year-old Bryn WISDOM FROM BRYN'S HUSBAND, ELON:  Books or art or music sometimes show you something you've never seen or known or understood before, and they allow you to imagine something that's possible that you hadn't ever imagined before You don't know how a book is impacting you while you're reading it Bryn's learning from this: This book is one of those for me. It's OK to move on from a book that affected you deeply. Extra homework: Ralph Nader Bryn cheated and included an HONORABLE MENTION book: The Moosewood Cookbook, by Mollie Katsen   Question 2: What we want to learn about/deep dive?   Sarah asked, “How did the printing press change history?”   Real talk: Johannes Gutenberg was NOT the inventor of the printing press! 1st-9th century in China with woodblock printing Metal type printing in Korea began in the 1300s and the first book printed this way is “Anthology of Great Buddhist Priests' Zen Teachings” in 1377. One of these printings is preserved today in the National Library of France.  But he did make some improvements Moveable Type changed everything. Check out this story and this one.   Global news network created thanks to quicker, cheaper printing that was accessible to middle class New information technology adopted by previously silenced voices, those willing to take risks  Revolution! Martin Luther becomes the first religious leader to use printing to his advantage.He's the world's first best-selling author! 1518-1525 his writings accounted for ⅓ of all books sold in Germany.  Scientific Revolution: With printed formulas and mathematical tables in hand, scientists could trust the fidelity of existing data and devote more energy to breaking new ground.   Bryn looked a little into the future (and the present) of books, especially print books   After watching the documentary,  The Booksellers, a film about the rare book business, but also about the future of books, Bryn did a small amount of research to look into the state of print books. When e-book readers first became viable, she remembered hearing the media wonder if paper books were dead. Spoiler: They're not! Book statistics: U.S. book industry statistics and facts Print book sales figures have improved over the last five years and unit sales now amount to over 650 million per year. Print also remains the most popular book format among U.S. consumers, with more than 65 percent of adults having read a print book in the last twelve months. Publishers Weekly: Print Book Sales Rose 8.2% in 2020 E-books statistics Audiobooks: 2019 more than $1 Billion in audiobook sales   Question 3: What are you excited about regarding books?   Sarah is all about audiobooks!    Whispersync She also put a call out for Star Trek or Marvel books suggestions.  And hipped us to the fantastic International Printing Museum    Wayward English major Bryn is excited to become a reader of books again. She might start with Loki, Where Mischief Lies, by Mackenzi Lee, thanks to Sarah's recommendation.   Final Thoughts   Sarah brings us home: When creating our show notes, both Bryn and I were writing so much more about the books that shaped us, rather than the history of books. When we were discussing our focus for this episode, Bryn texted something profound: “Books are so personal.”   So I think that is the perfect way to think of it. Any other two people in the world could have a completely different discussion than we did. So we want to know: what are your top 1-3 books that have shaped you? Please write us and we will share in our NEW segment, Totally Talk To Us.   Thanks to those of you who have written to us, either on Instagram or the Skywalking Through Neverland Facebook Group, with your feedback on our first two episodes: @iamstarwarstime, Peter Heitman and Cadien Clark. We love hearing your thoughts!   About Totally Tell Me Everything   Two friends, one fun topic, three burning questions = lots of fun conversation!

Author Mackenzi Lee chats with Star Wars books editor Alex Davis about their short story, "There Is Always Another," from the Star Wars anthology book, From A Certain Point of View: The Empire Strikes Back.

Enjoy our presentation of The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee and published by HarperCollins. Henry “Monty” Montague doesn't care that his roguish passions are far from suitable for the gentleman he was born to be. But unfortunately his quests for pleasure and vice are in danger of coming to an end. Not only does his father expect him to take over the family's estate upon his return from his tour of continental Europe, but Monty is also nursing an impossible crush on his best friend and traveling companion, Percy. So Monty vows to make this yearlong escapade one last hedonistic hurrah and flirt with Percy from Paris to Rome. But when one of Monty's reckless decisions turns their trip abroad into a harrowing manhunt, it calls into question everything he knows, including his relationship with the boy he adores.This title is recommended for ages 14+.

After last week's return, it feels really great to pick up our normal format again! This week, the girls are thrilled to bring you two individuals who paved the way for thousands of people both during their lives and posthumously. First, Kat can't wait to talk about "The Godmother of Rock and Roll", Sister Rosetta Tharpe.

Susanna Clarke has a new book coming out this year and I need something to feed my fix until the big day arrives. I loved the prose, the footnote fairy-tales, the characters, the historical fiction aspects… all good. so good. What do you recommend? -Brandi 2. One of the girls I nanny for (age 12) has a lot of difficulties. She has mood disorders that lead to difficulty expressing emotions appropriately, and so do her sister, and crucially her mother. As far as I can tell, (I don’t know him) her dad has severe anger management issues and her step dad is on his second family and not really interested in doing a lot of parenting. It’s a difficult situation for anyone to manage, but I particularly feel for her as she enters her teens and deals with all the instability and mood swings that brings. I would really like to push her toward some coming-of-age books dealing with handling irrational people who nevertheless have power over you; but I would also love something not too on the nose— my sense is that if she sees herself and her life too closely reflected she will distance herself reflexively so I am hoping for something a bit fantastical. She loves Percy Jackson and, weirdly, Walter Isaacson’s biography of Albert Einstein. As a bonus, she’s a little obsessed with money as a marker of status right now since money has been the only constant factor in her life. If you can find anything with a bit of a Paper Bag Princess element to it, I would love to be able to discuss that with her. Thanks! -Ella 3. Hi ladies! First I just wanted to say I love your podcast! Your enthusiasm for books is so delightful to listen to, I look forward to every new episode! Onto my question: Somehow I missed learning about the Robin Hood story growing up. The only version of the story I am familiar with is the disney version which I know is not the full story (obviously with the talking animals and whatnot) Anyway, I’d like to find a book that tells that story. I know there’s a lot out there that debates on if the story is even true or not, but I’m looking to read the story that everyone seems to know except me. I don’t care if it’s a fictionalized or a more academic book, or even if it’s for children or adults. I’ve tried to read a few retellings, but they seem to assume that the reader is already familiar with the tale, or with the politics of the time, which I don’t know anything about either. Do you know a good starting point for this well loved story? Thank you! -Dana 4. Hello, hello! I am looking for books that give me what I think of as a 90s-rom-com type feel. Usually these are adult books that have a romance story line, but aren’t overly steamy; feature a few quirky friends; and most importantly have some humor. Examples include: Bridget Jones’s Diary (of course); Rainbow Rowell’s and Meg Cabot’s adult books; and the Walsh family series by Marian Keyes. Diversity is always a plus. Thank you! -Leann 5. Hi! I’m normally a big reader of fantasy (Night Circus, Little Big, The Magicians) or things set in the Victorian era (The Fair Fight, Misfortune, The Crimson Petal and the White.) My book choosing Mojo seems to be off lately so I’m wanting to try something totally new. Would you be able to recommend any books similar to movies such as Dan in Real Life, This is Where I Leave You (I know it’s a book, but I saw the movie first), etc? I’ve recently realized a pattern in my life of loving modern family dramas, especially when it’s a family coming together for a life event such as in these films. Realism is great, but elements of the fantastical and the weird are totally fine as well. Can’t wait to hear! -Anya 6. Last summer I read the book the Selection and loved it. I then read all of the sequels and Kiera Cass’ other book. I am now in the market for similar books. I loved the combination of royalty, romantic comedy, and reality TV type dating competition. I’ve also read the Glittering court books, the red queen, the jewel, , and the lunar chronicles. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. I love the show. Thanks, -Shaina 7. I’m going through a stressful time right now and have totally stopped reading books. However what I am reading is a lot of slash fanfiction! I am looking for books that give me some of the same feels as I edge my way back to reading actual books. I don’t read much adult romance but I love YA romance like Becky Albertalli, Mackenzi Lee and Rainbow Rowell. Can you recommend me something easy going and fairly fluffy?

I avsnitt 79 dömer Åsa och Sissel boken efter titeln. Vad är att föredra, långa titlar som rullar fint av tungan, som “The Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue” av Mackenzi Lee eller enordstitlar fullpackade med betydelse, som "Hunger" av Alma Katsu? Oavsett om "Avlivningskliniken Tusenskönan" av Martina Montelius är en lång eller kort titel vill Åsa rekommendera den till alla som suktar efter riktigt svart humor.Sissel kan inte helt bestämma sig för om den relationsdriva pusseldeckaren "Nyårsfesten" av Lucey Foley har bäst klang i översättning eller i sin originaltitel "The Hunting Party". Spännande är den oavsett! Och att "Vindens skugga" av Carlos Ruiz Zafon är en vacker titel, en modern klassiker och en efterlängtad ljudbok är klart som korvspad, men är den kanske en aningens överskattad?Hyllningskör blir det gällande "Gun. Love" av Jennifer Clement, "Vi kom över havet" av Julie Otsuka, "Andarnas hus" av Isabel Allende och en hel massa andra titlar. Månadens Smash Hit är den nionde delen i Denise Rudbergs serie om Marianne Jidhoff - "Under nio nätter". På med lurarna och lyssna nu!

I was hoping you girls could recommend me some books to bring for the trip Summer books are good, I also like thriller and horror, weird for summer but oh well! I like authors like Taylor Jenkins Reid No YA if you can -Tamika 2. Time Sensitive: My son is turning 15 next week and I always get him a book (or five) for his birthday. This past year, he’s really been into graphic novels: he loved Scott Pilgrim (and the movie) and having read The Watchmen myself some years ago, I gave him a copy and he loved it. We have Neil Gaiman’s The Sandman and Marvel 1602 in the house (which I have not yet read yet), but I am looking for some other graphic novels he might enjoy. Any suggestions? -Neda 3. Hello Get Booked friends! Last year I was #blessed to get a job at my dream company, and am currently moving from entry-level to mid-career level responsibilities (aka “Big Kid stuff” as I like to think to stave off imposter syndrome). I have such a supportive work community as I grow into these new responsibilities, but I am wondering if you could recommend books (fiction or non-fiction) with practical advice for women stepping into leadership and “big-girl” responsibilities for the first time. I’ve read Lean In, You are a Badass, and a lot of Brene Brown, and tested the waters of some general business books, but I’d love the practical, Millennial perspective of women moving from entry-level to a management role (and managing people) for the first time. -Lauren 4. Aloha Ladies! This podcast has been a godsend for me as I’ve recently rediscovered my love for books after a long hiatus. With my re-entry into the world of bibliophiles, my best friend and I created a long-distance book club (Hawaii to Boston!) with some other wonderful women who were interested. I’ve never been part of a book club before and am so nervous about picking an interesting read that will spark discussion. There are no restrictions on genre, author, etc., but I would prefer to select a book that’s written by a woman. My personal preferences lean heavily towards fantasy (not sure that’s the best for a group), true crime and mystery/thrillers. Any suggestions for books that will drive thought-provoking discussion would be greatly appreciated! Many Mahalos! -Christina 5. Hello! I have a wonderful colleague who is preparing to adopt a child from Colombia. She doesn’t know a great deal yet, but knows that the child will be around 8-10 years old. I would love to get her some books that they could read aloud together. My colleague and her family are all currently taking Spanish classes, and the child will be in the process of learning English. Any thoughts on a good read that might help to ease the adjustments that will be happening in some small way? Thanks so much, for this and for your great recs in general! -DK 6. hi, i’ve been a fan for a while and so i’m looking for recommendations by authors who are not from the u.s., or more specifically just anything from the other side of the world. i have so little international books, it feels like i’m limiting myself to one country, one kind of book. i recently read “gumiho” by kat cho, which i really liked, and am reading “i am not your perfect mexican daughter” by erika sanchez, a book which i’m relating to a lot since i am latinx. some books i really like/love are “the rest of us just live here” by patrick ness, “eliza and her monsters” by francesca zappia, and any series/book that rick riordan has worked on or presented. i’m open to any genre though i have a tendency to like books that mix the real world with a bit of fantasy/supernatural. bonus if there is lgbt and mental illness rep in the book. -Ru 7. I am looking for a new book/books to read after finishing the books by Nina LaCour. I like books with queer characters (especially wlw and trans characters) set in western cities (LA, San Francisco, Seattle, Portland) where the city plays a big part of the book. I have read “Little and Lion” “Juliet takes a breath” and “when dimple met rishi” Love the show!

Welcome to the first ever episode of the This is totally fine podcast. Thanks for stopping by! This episode covers the recent controversy that surrounds the Madness Blooms by Mackenzi Lee and the debate that started online from the book's prerelease blurb. Fans were angry about the misgendering of the protagonist on the book cover but let's really analyse this debate for you!

We recorded this discussion waaaaaay back when we could still have Kim around to talk about books with. She's doing committee work that means she can't really talk to us about any YA books this year. We miss her, so we figured you might too. This discussion gets off to a less than professional start because we were intending to talk about a different book, but the gravity of this one pulled us in at the mention of its name.

Amanda and Amber discuss The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee, featuring music by Lyss Emerson.

This month we're going further back than this podcast has gone before: decades before Mrs Beeton, there was Catharine Parr Traill, a woman whose letters we study and whose symbolism we have a hard time coming to grips with. To everyone's surprise, our fashion segment this month actually covers fashion: we're looking at the late Regency period and the relatively loose dresses that came with it. In another podcast first, we're also taking a stab at some meaty dishes. Both Torey and Steph fry up some venison steaks, and we talk about the history and ethics of game meat in Canada. Less controversially, we also serve up some cranberry sauce and tarts, to mixed reviews. What we're obsessed with in history Steph: An old favourite: Lucy Worsely, an English historian and author, and two of her books: Jane Austen at Home: A Biography and Queen Victoria: Twenty-Four Days that Changed Her Life. Get in that library queue, these books are going fast. Torey: A new novel with fun nods to female scientists in history: The Lady's Guide to Petticoats and Piracy by Mackenzi Lee (the sequel/companion to The Gentleman's Guide to Vice and Virtue, also a fun read).

In this episode, we talk about media consumption - what media held a deep influence in our early years, what’s been recently life-changing and what we’re currently enjoying. We talk about what it’s like to give ourselves permission to simply enjoy the media we love, and how it enriches our lives and relationships. And we wonder if we need to be more critical about our indulgences, making room for other activities. All of this leads into next episode’s topic: Kids and Media.Support Glimmering PodcastLinks:The Gentleman's Guide to Vice & Virtue | The Lady's Guide to Petticoats & Piracy — Laura's enjoying these books by Mackenzi Lee.Play the original Civilization online! — Laura's in full nerdy ecstasy, having found this.The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel — One of our favorite shows right now.Watch Survivor | Prime Video — Several seasons are available on Amazon Prime.OverDrive: eBooks, audiobooks and videos for libraries — One of Laura's favorite apps.Seeing White – Scene on Radio — Why?

From the official website, "Robotech is a sweeping science-fiction anime epic of humans defending their home world against alien domination. The saga is told through the eyes of characters caught up in a series of wars that erupts when a mysterious spacecraft crash-lands on Earth at the turn of the millennium. The secrets of alien knowledge aboard this vessel were unlocked, leading to the development of "Robotechnology" and the creation of a vast arsenal of robotic "mecha" to defend the Earth against the alien threats that would eventually strike to lay claim to the mysterious power source known as "protoculture." ROBOTECH has often been called a "space opera" because it is not just action-packed entertainment, but also an engaging drama.ROBOTECH™ OPENING HD with Original Robotech™ opening theme (From pachinko™ machines) - YouTube — Robotech opening title sequence. This one has been remastered by a super fan for HD. [Monty Python] The Beatles of Comedy - The Atlantic — "It’s a pity that the word irreverent has lost its weight, so that it’s come to seem a mere synonym for cheeky. The Pythons were irreverent in the deepest sense. They had automatic respect for nothing. Everything was fit matter for comedy: religion, national differences, cannibalism, Hitler, torture, death, crucifixion. They created a parallel world in which nothing was serious. They were like boys: they not only weren’t afraid; they didn’t know they should be afraid."Why Modular Productivity Softwares Are Only Just Beginning — “Modular Productivity Software” is a term to explain applications that allow you freedom to customise layout and help you to get things done. Software like Notion, Airtable, Coda and Milanote are perfect examples of modular productivity software. Helping you to plan your tasks, manage lists, co-ordinate projects and bring forward ideas, all in one workspace. The best way to describe modular productivity software is as online lego."

In episode 34, Heather and Bennett get way too invested in Olympic ice skating. They also discuss the TV show The Good Place and the novel "The Impossible Lives of Greta Wells" by Andrew Greer. Other topics include: Jennifer Aniston, Michelle Obama, Sally Field, WEEI, gun control, Google images, Jake Peavy, Spyro the Dragon, Mackenzi Lee, Janelle Monae, and Black Panther.

Our 18th century scholar operated as self-avowed "fun police," but didn't dampen our enthusiasm for Mackenzi Lee's Gentelman's Guide to Vice and Virtue. And we're awaiting her sequel with bated breath. Kim suggests Libba Bray's Great and Terrible Beauty (which kicks off a brief love-fest for Libba Bray), Gail Carriger's Etiquette and Espionage, and Bloodly Jack by L.A. Meyer. Nate suggests Libba Bray's The Diviners and also offhandedly Beauty Queens. Amy suggests Alexandra Bracken's Passenger. Nathan suggests The Importance of Being Earnest by Oscar Wilde, Tobias Smollett's The Expedition of Humphry Clinker, and "The Last of the Famous International Playboy" by Morrissey. Margaret suggests Roxana by Daniel Defoe and Captain Singleton by Daniel Defoe.

Amanda and Jenn discuss international reads, Star Trek readalikes, bisexual characters, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by As You Wish by Chelsea Sedoti and OwlCrate. Enter our Best of 2017 books giveaway! bookriot.com/bookriottop20   Questions 1. Hi girls! I love reading about people from different countries or people currently living in different countries and would love a recommendation! I'm trying to find something that isn’t about war or racism. Maybe something a little more lighthearted- if that exists. I love both fiction and nonfiction and am very open to translated works, poetry, plays, short story collections, etc. None of my book friends have been able to help, but I'm hoping you can :) Thank you! --Bianca   2. Hi Amanda & Jenn, I'm looking for a recommendation for my book club. We're all women ranging in age from mid-twenties to mid-sixties and, as individuals, read everything from literary fiction to romance to science fiction and fantasy. We've only been meeting for the past 6 months so we're still figuring out what types of books work best. Right now, we've read Where'd You Go Bernadette (which everyone really enjoyed), Small Great Things (most people liked), Elsie and Mairi Go to War (awful, didn't even finish), Exit West (another strong pick), When Dimple Met Rishi (good, but not substantial enough), and God: A Human History (haven't discussed yet, but from our group emails, I'm thinking it's a bit too academic). Contemporary fiction with interesting, strong female protagonists seems to be our sweet spot. We have The Mothers on our to-read list as well as A Gentleman in Moscow, My Cousin Rachel and The Summer Before the War. We read diversely, don't shy away from difficult/sensitive subjects, nonfiction is ok but we've read a decent amount lately, and prefer adult to YA. Thanks so much! --Megan   3. Hi there - I'll be moving to the Bay Area soon for a software engineering program, and I'm a little nervous about feeling lonely/missing home. I'd love some recommendations for: escapist/comforting reads and/or fiction with an awesome female lead and/or books set in San Francisco. I've been reading through the October Daye series by Seanan McGuire and have enjoyed them. I'm also planning to take Sourdough by Robin Sloan with me. I enjoy most sci-fi/fantasy and read a lot of literary fiction as well. Some of my favorite authors are Miriam Toews, Mary Doria Russell, Peter Heller and Connie Willis. Thanks for your help and for the show - this podcast has helped me find so many great books! --Rachel   4. What sci-fi books would you recommend to someone who loves Star Trek? I've of course read some of the novelizations, but I'd like to read some novels that are unconnected but have a similar enough feel to Star Trek. I love the space exploration, philosophy, and different alien races working together, but most of all I loved the idealized future. It seems every futuristic novel I read, we all live in a terrible future that is terrible, and OH LOOK AT HOW EVIL TECHNOLOGY IS. There are no words to describe how tired I am of that. Thanks in advanced guys. I can't wait to hear your recs. --Eliza   5. Hi, I recently listened to your podcast about biography recommendations and can't wait to check out Cleopatra. I would love some other great biographies/memoirs about women. I would prefer people of color or/not already widely famous people. For example, I loved Stolen Lives; Twenty Years in a Desert Jail by Malika Oufkir, Persepolis by Marjane Satrapi, Unbowed by Wangari Maathai, and Mennonite in a Little Black Dress by Rhoda Janzen. Thanks! --Carrie   6. I'm on a search for bisexual characters in literature (who actually call themselves bi- too often authors try to skirt around the word). I'm bisexual myself and I'm craving representation. I find so many gay and lesbian characters, but rarely bi. I don't mind if the character is in a same sex or opposite sex relationship, I would just really like to read about a bi character. Also, while I would love to see some bi women, I encounter bi women much more than I encounter bi men, so I would appreciate it if your suggestions had both genders (if that is at all possible). Thank you so much, and I absolutely adore the show. --Virginia   7. Hi Amanda and Jenn! I love listening to your podcast! Im wondering if you can recommend some books set in the Middle East. I recently read When the Moon is Low by Nadia Hashimi and loved it. I'd particularly like books told from the perspective of a female character(s). Thanks! --Becky   Books Discussed Sunshine by Robin McKinley A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab The Rabbit Back Literature Society by Pasi Ilmari Jääskeläinen, translated by Lola Rogers The Woman Next Door by Yewande Omotoso (rec’d by Rebecca) White Oleander by Janet Fitch Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Wallbanger by Alice Clayton A Dirty Job by Christopher Moore Shards of Honor by Lois McMaster Bujold Provenance by Ann Leckie Wild Swans by Jung Chang Mighty Be Our Powers by Leymah Gbowee A Gentleman’s Guide to Vice and Virtue by Mackenzi Lee 100 Must Read Bisexual Books post Swordspoint by Ellen Kushner Escape from Aleppo by N.H.

YA author Mackenzi Lee joins me to talk about, well, almost everything, from book deal depression to hitting milestones like the NYT Bestseller List. We also cover: how to tackle historical research (and when to get anachronistic); cross-dressing fencers; Dutch tulip-mania; a lady painter of the Italian Baroque; 1980's women wrestlers -- this is a wide-ranging conversation with a fascinating author.
