Amanda and Jenn discuss talking cats, dog books for toddlers, defeating internalized racism and sexism, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Moloka‘i by Alan Brennert (rec’d by Lauren) The Moon–Spinners by Mary Stewart (rec’d by Kelly) A Thousand Ships by Natalie Haynes and Ariadne by Jennifer Saint (rec’d by Hannah) Questions 1. Let me preface by stating, for the record, that I fully realize how ridiculous this question is. :-p  I adopted a senior cat not too long ago, and after many years of thinking I was a dog person I’ve realized that, in my heart of hearts, I am absolutely a cat person.  I love that they have moods, and can be a total sweetheart one moment and a complete butthead the next. Anyway, on your recommendation I recently read Sabriel. I really enjoyed it, and hands down my favorite character was Mogget (because of course it was).  Can you recommend any other books in which a cat is one of the main characters? Especially if a) they are a talking cat and b) they are kind of snarky or a smart aleck/jerk?  Mimi Lee Gets a Clue is already on my TBR list, but any other recs in any genre are welcome. Thank you! -Diane 2. Hi guys, I’m currently in the process of curating my book list for summer. I just finished We Were Liars and am honestly devastated. I was entranced the whole way through. The setting, dialogue and characters were vivid. The writing had an air of poetry that I loved. The plot was wildly intriguing, slowly unfolding piece by piece. I am wanting something else like it. Other books I’ve read that I’ve enjoyed are The Mothers, Ask Again, Yes and Little Fires Everywhere. Please help me find something like this! Thanks! -Emily 3. I am going to Michigan for vacation in July with my two best friends. I would love a book set there. We will be going to Mackinac Island and Frankenmuth in particular. If you know of any fiction or non fiction set in those areas or around. I am aware of the movie / novel Somewhere in Time as that is a large reason I am going there -Lauren 4. Hi! I’m looking for a book series for a 7 year old who’s really digging the Princess in Black and the Princess Pulverizer books (she’s been toting them around like pirate booty). I’m pretty sure you guys have answered a similar question in the past and I dug through about 20 past episodes, but can’t seem to find it! Any help would be much appreciated!! -Kristi 5. My toddler is currently obsessed with dogs.  She seeks them out on our walks, wants to help do ALL of the doggy chores for our pups at home, etc.  I am looking for books featuring dogs to get for her.  We have read most of the Good Dog Carl books, Pig the Pug, Skippy Jon Jones, and also a board book called Doggies.  Do you have any other dog books that you think a 13 month old would enjoy?   -Marelis 6. I have a friend who grew up loving vampire books but doesn’t read them any more because the relationships are always *problematic*. Any recs for more recent vampire books that avoid or undermine the bad tropes, specifically creepy age differences, iffy coercion and consent issues and lots of gaslighting and manipulation? She really liked how those issues were handled in the Daevabad series and she also loves the Greta Helsing books, Good Omens, and anything Witchy. Steampunk vibes, queer characters and F/F romance is always a plus.  -Margot 7. Hi! I’ve been looking for books specifically on internalized misogyny and internalized racism to help my family understand how they’ve absorbed harmful ideals and aren’t immune to perpetrating white supremacy, anti-blackness, and sexism. We’re a hispanic family, but I can tell some of my family members don’t quite understand how entrenched they are in white supremacist beliefs. I haven’t seen anything just yet on this particular topic in books about race so if anyone has any suggestions I’d be super grateful! -Ashley Books Discussed Chilling Adventures of Sabrina comics by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa and Robert Hack The Song of the Lioness Quartet (Alanna: The First Adventure #1) by Tamora Pierce If We Were Villains by ML Rio (tw: domestic violence) The Walls Around Us by Nova Ren Suma (tw: death by suicide, lots of body-shaming) Snowed In by Rachel Hawthorne Once Upon A River by Bonnie Jo Campbell (tw: violence against women and children including rape, graphic violence, drug abuse) Mia Mayhem series (#1 Mia Mayhem is a Superhero) by Kara West and Leeza Hernandez Chronicles of Claudette (Giants, Beware! #1) by Jorge Aguirre and Rafael Rosado et al Stormy by Guojing Zorro and Mister Bud (Say Hello to Zorro!) by Carter Goodrich Better Off Red by Rebekah Weatherspoon Iron & Velvet by Alexis Hall For the Love of Men by Liz Plank Me and White Supremacy by Layla F.

Nova Ren Suma writes haunting, female-fronted tales about sinister things, exploring the complexities of family, different kinds of ghost stories, and what it means to be a woman in the world. Her latest, A Room Away From the Wolves, takes place in the stifling rooms of an all-female boarding house in New York City. Deeply unreliable teen narrator Bina flees to Catherine House after an unnamed trauma, and there she falls under the sway of long-dead founder Catherine de Barra, and of fellow boarder Monet, who may just be the key to breaking Catherine House's spell. We talked to Nova about New York stories, girls gone astray, and her path to becoming a writer.

Bina has never forgotten the time she and her mother ran away from home. Her mother promised they would hitchhike to the city to escape Bina’s cruel father and start over. But before they could even leave town, Bina had a new stepfather and two new stepsisters, and a humming sense of betrayal pulling apart the bond with her mother—a bond Bina thought was unbreakable. Eight years later, after too many lies and with trouble on her heels, Bina finds herself on the side of the road again, the city of her dreams calling for her. She has an old suitcase, a fresh black eye, and a room waiting for her at Catherine House, a young women’s residence in Greenwich Village with a tragic history, a vow of confidentiality, and dark, magical secrets. There, Bina is drawn to her enigmatic downstairs neighbor Monet, a girl who is equal parts intriguing and dangerous. As Bina’s lease begins to run out, and nightmare and memory get tangled, she will be forced to face the terrible truth of why she’s come to Catherine House and what it will take for her to leave… The post A Room Away From The Wolves – Ep 43 with Nova Ren Suma appeared first on Read Learn Live Podcast.

Segunda Temporada Capitulo CatorceHola a todes, estimades oyentes y compañeres lectoris. Bienvenides a Una Dosis de Ficción, un podcast dedicado a la fantasía y la ciencia ficción en novelas y comics. Este es el capítulo catorce de la segunda temporada, un capítulo dedicado a tres novelas que giran en torno a la temática de la identidad, desde sus distintos géneros y enfoques. Las Paredes a Nuestro Alrededor (The Walls Around Us) , de Nova Ren Suma .(00:00:25)     Dos asesinas, y una bailarina. Dos bailarinas, y una asesina. La verdad es una pirueta en el ballet de la justicia. Memoria (Memory) Escrita por Linda Nagata .  (00:22:55)  Un misterioso mundo lleno de tecnología mágica, y misterios. Una aventura de una chica, cambiará el mundo.Falsa Identidad (Fingersmith) , de Sarah Waters.  (00:42:40)  Dos jovenes cuyos caminos se cruzan por un crimen. ¿Quién será la víctima? Demasiado Largo, no lo Escuche (55:50) Como las tres novelas tienen un tema común, se habla de la identidad en contexto de las dificultades dispuestas por el mundo de les personajes:las vidas truncadas de las prisioneras en la primera novela, las relaciones obligatorias y la reencarnación en la segunda, y los cambios de identidad y falta de libertad para formarse ideas de une misme en la tercera.   Se habla del problema de la caracterización de personajes criminales, y se elogia como Nova Ren Suma logra construir simpatía para sus personajes no basándose en “encanto” si no en escribir cuidadosamente personajes muy finamente caracterizades. Se discute la necesidad de acotar las historias, y no intentar abarcar más de lo que se puede mantener. Se comenta cómo algunas novelas levantan muy finamente temas de novelas anteriores clásicas, y cómo se puede hacer un choreo muy fino y sútil, y sobre todo entretenido.  El próximo jueves, 07/07 hablaremos de la Liga de la Justicia Dark, un comic que tomó diverses personajes del universo DC relacionades con la magia, y los juntó para bizarras misiones.Pueden escribirme comentarios, preguntas, sugerencias, o lo que deseen, o encontrar más información y otros programas:☆   En iTunes, donde pueden recomendary favoritear este podcast para que más gente lo escuche.
