“Father Kavanagh. Pen in hand and his notebook open before him, he was ready to do what he did every November: Get started on his Christmas list. By seven thirty a.m., he had prayed with his wife, checked his sugar, had his shot, and polished off his stone-ground oatmeal with raw honey and multigrain toast. This upbeat start on the morning had made him overconfident - his pen was poised but nothing was happening. The grand expectation of churning through the list was morphing into a muse.”

In this Write Big episode, Jennie Nash is joined by AJ Harper, author of Write a Must-Read: Craft a Book That Changes Lives—Including Your Own, to talk about a more meaningful way to define success as a writer. AJ shares her concept of writing a “Top Three” book—one that becomes a reader's personal favorite, the kind they keep forever, recommend constantly, and return to again and again. Together they explore why chasing external metrics like speed, bestseller lists, or book deals can distract from what really matters, and how focusing on writing something truly beloved often leads to those wins anyway.

Heated Rivalry von Rachel Reid ist eine MM Hockey Romance und aktuell die trendigste Gay Romance-Neuerscheinung – und das nicht nur, weil das Buch verfilmt wurde und gerade erst auf HBO Max in Deutschland angelaufen ist. Wir fragen uns (und gemeinsam mit Nadja): Ist diese Hockey Romance / Sports Romance wirklich so außergewöhnlich, wie der Hype in der Buch- und Social Media-Welt vermuten lässt? In dieser Folge von Hey Booklovers sprechen wir mit unserer Freundin und Romance-Expertin Nadja Katzenberger über das Buch. Nadja und Kati haben beide Heated Rivalry schon gelesen und sind der Meinung: Heated Rivalry ist ein Must-Read und sticht innerhalb der Romance-Welt besonders heraus – vor allem wegen der Figurenentwicklung, wie Gleichberechtigung und Konsens dargestellt wird und wegen der emotionalen Dynamik zwischen Shane und Ilya. Tina hat das Buch noch nicht gelesen, geht also unvorbereitet und eher skeptisch in das Gespräch. Sie kennt weder Autorin noch Reihe oder Fandom und fragt sich, ob MM Sports Romance wirklich das richtige Genre für sie ist. Was meint ihr? Schaffen es Kati und Nadja, Tina davon zu überzeugen, das Buch tatsächlich zu lesen? Die Antwort (und noch einiges mehr) hört ihr in dieser Folge. Diskutiert gerne weiter mit uns auf Instagram unter @heybooklovers.
“New Orleans - 1866. I had few pleasures to call my own. There was the peace found in the attic where I was made to board, the transporting comfort of the books in Mrs. Harper's library, the deliciousness of the sweet bread I purchased with my allowance from the bakery down the road each Sunday of rest. But all of it paled in comparison to the joy brought upon me by Oliver, the terrier I considered my own.”
“Thursday, December 27th, eleven p.m. Kuldesh Sharma hopes he's in the right place. He parks up at the end of the dirt track, hemmed in on all sides by trees, ghoulish in the darkness. He had finally made up his mind at about four this afternoon, sitting in the back room of his shop. The box was sitting on the table in front of him. He made two phone calls, and now here he is."

Lurking in the basement of her life is the ache of depression and the torment of life as an addict. Meet Amelia, a character closely based on the tumultuous youth of author Anna Binder Reardon. In Reardon's dramatization of her own life, Wethersfield Road is a moving story of healing. Through it all, Amelia has her besties by her side: a bottle and a bong, the binge-purge cycle, and risky hookups. She's the cross-faded chaos queen of nobody's dreams. Feeling lost, Amelia's connection with her horse, Hope, seems to be her last reason to stick around. But even that simplest love can't save her by itself. She topples into a shameful series of crash landings. From domestic violence to cringeworthy sexual encounters and drug-induced shame spirals, she can't catch her breath. A brutal equine wake-up call propels Amelia to rescue herself in the way only she can. She must first resist her default setting: self-sabotage.Become a supporter of this podcast: https://www.spreaker.com/podcast/arroe-collins-unplugged-totally-uncut--994165/support.

Why does prayer often feel difficult or unfruitful, even when we're trying our best? Prayer often struggles not because we lack effort, but because we skip what prepares the heart. In this episode, Fr Columba reflects on the role of spiritual reading and why prayer bears fruit only when we first learn how to receive. Drawing on the Church's wisdom, he invites us to slow down, begin again, and let God lead the work.

This book is a MUST-READ for anyone leading people, especially up-and-coming leaders!"

Text Me Here!!!Another Monday...Another Conference Talk...and I'm not mad about it at all!And also Day 1 of 12 Days of Munch & Mingle!Today we go through Elder Johnson's conference address and I say it every week, this might be my new favorite talk! Elder Johnson used to be a forensic accountant and so it would make sense why the word 'reconcile' would stick out to him.But his talk goes so much deeper about our relationship with the Savior than I expected and yet I walked away with so much more emotion and motivation to guard my connection with the Savior and Heavenly Father and do all I can to strengthen it.He also uses an analogy with a cherry shaker, have y'all seen one of those things before? I've got a link for you below!Also, I linked another talk of Elder Johnson's, a BYU speech from 2022, it is a MUST READ! It will change how you are viewing your priorities!Let me know your thoughts or any other inspirations that came to you while you were studying this talk.***Links:Elder Johnson's Conference Talk:https://www.churchofjesuschrist.org/study/general-conference/2025/10/17johnson?lang=engElder Johnson's BYU Speech: https://speeches.byu.edu/talks/kelly-r-johnson/conquering-lifes-daily-distractions/Cherry Shaker Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mDVY053vTeA&t=53s E-mail: munchandminglepodcast@gmail.com Insta: @munchandminglepodcast

Revealing, insightful, necessary, candid conversation with the incomparable Jerry Craft, NYT bestselling author of the groundbreaking book New Kid.* Craft is the ONLY PERSON IN THE HISTORY OF EVER to have a book win the:Newbery Medal, the Coretta Scott King Author Award, and the Kirkus Prize for Young Readers' Literature* New Kid was the FIRST graphic novel to receive the prestigious Newbery Medal* New Kid is billed as a book for middle grade readers (ages 8 - 12, grades 3 - 7) however it is just as riveting and important a read FOR ADULTS An actual middle schooler, KJ Fletcher got to join his mom, host and producer Samantha Fletcher for this one of a kind opportunity. They caught up with the multi-talented and in-demand busy author, illustrator and all around wise guy – literally for his wisdom as well as his wit – Jerry Craft.Craft graciously answers 10 questions -- plus a few more because the host Samantha can't allow a good dig-in or follow up question to pass -- and shares why he wrote the book, why it's great for young people, AND why it is an ASSET and a MUST-READ for GROWNUPS, too.WHAT IS NEW KID ABOUT? Described as "heartbreakingly accurate" by Kirkus, here is an AI overview summary: "New Kid is a graphic novel by Jerry Craft about a Black seventh grader named Jordan Banks who is one of the few students of color at a prestigious, mostly-white private school. The book follows Jordan as he navigates this new environment, torn between his familiar Washington Heights neighborhood and the new school's culture, exploring themes like microaggressions, racism, and socioeconomic disparity. It's a coming-of-age story about making friends, fitting in, and staying true to himself while dealing with the challenges of being a new student from a different background."WHY KIRKUS CHOSE THIS AS ITS WINNER: "Kirkus chose Jerry Craft's New Kid for its honest portrayal of being a Black student in a predominantly white private school, handling race, class, and microaggressions with humor and a relatable protagonist. The graphic novel was praised for its "heartbreakingly accurate" and "funny, sharp, and totally real" story that allows readers to see themselves in a narrative that isn't based on "misery" or historical hardship, but instead on the everyday experiences of a young person navigating identity and belonging. Kirkus specifically highlighted how the book combined a middle-grade narrative with important social commentary, using the protagonist's art to visualize his dual worlds."www.samanthafletcher.comhttps://jerrycraft.com/https://creators.spotify.com/pod/profile/dailybordercrossings/ https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/daily-border-crossings/id1517113315
