YA Romance has been a big part of my parenting and reading journey. Susan Lee has been one that I have read from her beginning. Her books are fun and swoony, but also provide a picture of life and culture that we don't always see. In this episode, we discuss her books, her perspective on books and how she decided to write YA romance.

In this episode of the Fully-Booked podcast, we welcomed Shirin back to the podcast after a six-month hiatus! The return wasn't pre-planned but fell into place organically, creating a light-hearted surprise for everyone. Shirin has been away dealing with personal life changes, including taking care of a new baby and adjusting to a new rhythm at home.The hosts, Meaghan, Arthur, and Shirin, agreed that May would be a transitional month, easing out of the structured April theme of "fools and tricksters" into a looser, more fun assortment of topics. With Shirin returning and the team unsure how often all three would be recording together, the trio decided to start casually and reconnect with listeners through conversation.They introduced the theme for this episode as book hangovers - an experience that most readers encounter at some point. The discussion would focus on what book hangovers are, how they affect each of the hosts differently, and what strategies they use to overcome them. This theme is particularly timely for Shirin, who is not just returning to the podcast but also to the act of reading for pleasure after a long break.What's On Our Nightstands: Current ReadsBefore diving into book hangovers, the hosts shared what they're currently reading.Shirin talked about trying to get through Quicksilver, a fantasy novel that she found compelling but difficult to consume via audiobook. She experimented with switching between audio and print versions but found that listening to complex fantasy without visual reference, especially for unfamiliar names and terminology, was frustrating. Shirin typically prefers audiobooks for lighter reads like romance, where the stakes and structure are easier to follow. Her experience illustrated how personal reading preferences can vary widely depending on format and genre.Meaghan echoed this sentiment, sharing that she, too, only listens to audiobooks for titles she's already read. That way, she doesn't worry about missing important plot points if her attention drifts. The group touched on the trend of duet narration in audiobooks and how multiple narrators can enhance the listening experience, especially in genres like romance or fantasy where character differentiation is crucial.Arthur, on the other hand, has been diving into Station Eternity by Mur Lafferty, a sci-fi murder mystery about a detective who flees Earth only to find trouble on an alien space station. This choice stood in stark contrast to Meaghan and Shirin's current reads and highlighted the diversity of interests among the hosts. Meaghan and Shirin both admitted they wouldn't have picked it up on their own, which Arthur found amusing. Their differences offered fresh perspectives and ensured that listeners received a range of book recommendations.Meaghan had recently finished Forged by Magic by Jenna Wolfhart, a cozy fantasy that suited her seasonal preference for lighter reads in the spring. She also reviewed The Book Club for Troublesome Women by Marie Bostwick, a 1960s period piece that explores themes of identity and societal roles through the lens of suburban housewives discovering The Feminine Mystique. Meaghan was pleasantly surprised by how much she enjoyed the latter, even though literary fiction isn't typically her go-to.What Are Book Hangovers, And Why Do They Hit So Hard?Once everyone had shared their current reads, the discussion turned to the heart of the episode: book hangovers. Shirin kicked things off by defining a book hangover as the feeling of emotional or mental paralysis after finishing a phenomenal book or series, to the point where it becomes difficult to start another. She cited A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) as the most intense book hangover she's ever experienced.Meaghan agreed with this definition and emphasized that series often make hangovers worse because readers become deeply immersed in their fictional worlds. She admitted that while she's had lulls in reading motivation, they haven't always been hangovers per se. Sometimes, they're just due to low interest or life distractions.Arthur added a different perspective: for him, hangovers can stem from finishing books that were simply bad. He explained that after reading something disappointing, he becomes hesitant to start anything new, fearing more letdowns. Meaghan and Shirin found this relatable and described similar experiences of slogging through mediocre reads and then losing momentum.They also discussed academic hangovers, particularly the one Shirin experienced after completing her English degree. Having been forced to read and analyze so many dense or unenjoyable texts, she lost her passion for reading for a time. All three agreed that required reading - especially when it involves analyzing books you don't enjoy - can suck the joy out of literature.The hosts reflected on how doing the podcast has made them more self-aware about their reading habits. It's helped them track how and when hangovers happen and reevaluate how to navigate them. This awareness has even affected their attitudes toward DNFing (Did Not Finish). They now feel less guilty about putting a book down if it's not enjoyable, prioritizing quality reading experiences over completion.Breaking The Cycle: How We Escape Book HangoversThe group discussed personal strategies for overcoming book hangovers. Meaghan's go-to remedy is to switch to something fast-paced like a thriller. These books don't require the same emotional investment as fantasy or character-driven novels, making them easier to read when she feels drained. She also prefers standalones during this time, since she usually gets hangovers from involved series.Shirin agreed and said that switching genres often helps her reset. She leans toward romance or beach reads, especially as summer approaches. Titles like Love and Other Words or Novel Love Story are perfect for pulling her out of a slump. She also mentioned that thrillers work well because they're plot-driven and don't demand deep emotional attachment to the characters.Arthur had a unique approach. He recommended short story collections as a way to recover. Because each story is self-contained and relatively short, readers can sample a variety of tones, plots, and genres without long-term commitment. This keeps things fresh and can reignite interest in reading. He also noted that he enjoys sci-fi short stories, even though he doesn't usually gravitate toward full-length sci-fi novels.The group talked about how jumping into something too similar to what caused the hangover can backfire. Shirin realized she made this mistake with Quicksilver, reading it too soon after Onyx Storm, which had similar themes and pacing. The comparison made it harder for her to enjoy the new book. She decided to pause and pick up Legends & Lattes, a cozy fantasy that Meaghan recommended, which is often suggested as a perfect “palate cleanser” after an intense series.They also addressed how thrillers rarely cause book hangovers, which is why they often serve as effective cures. Meaghan pointed out that cozy mysteries and cozy fantasies fall into the same category - low stakes, resolved plots, and comfort-driven narratives. According to polls, cozy mysteries are the least likely to induce book hangovers, a conclusion that made complete sense to the hosts.Prolonging The High: Fandom, Spoilers, And The Hangover SpiralThe conversation shifted to how modern fandoms influence reading behavior. Arthur talked about how finishing The Dark Tower series led him into an obsessive search for forums and fan theories. He wanted to explore the lore beyond the books themselves, trying to prolong the experience.Meaghan and Shirin recognized this tendency in themselves, too, especially with incomplete series like Fourth Wing or Crescent City. They admitted to going down internet rabbit holes, diving into Reddit threads, and TikTok speculation.Shirin, however, tries to avoid spoilers at all costs. While she's aware of some major plot points in popular series due to the nature of the Internet, she prefers to go in as blind as possible. She compared this to how she enjoys going to film festivals without knowing much about the films. Arthur and Meaghan, on the other hand, are more flexible about spoilers, especially in non-book contexts.The episode ended with some light teasing and banter about reading habits, particularly Shirin's aversion to Nicholas Sparks and sickly sweet romances. Everyone shared a laugh, wrapping things up with a sense of camaraderie and mutual understanding.

She worked closely with each of these thought leaders in the perfecting process of works they authored. She followed in the footsteps of these and other mentors by authoring books herself: Letters from Kazakhstan, which details her family's 1998 adventures in post-Soviet Kazakhstan; Your Kids are Human, which teaches parents and teachers how to educate their children in a way everyone loves (no resistance!); and “I Meant Well” And Other Words That Kill Relationships, wherein she shares a wealth of knowledge on how to make bad relationships good and good relationships vibrant. She has developed a course called "Expand Your Influence" by which she trains executives—through the development of specific mindset and relationship skills—how to fast-track their way to greater influence (thus success) in their personal and professional lives. She has been referred to as "The Relationship Scientist" and her most recent book has been referred to as "The Relationship Bible." She also developed a revolutionary system, called MathHacked, for teaching times tables to kids without the use of rote memorization or coercion.

Episode 81 of The Walk A Little Slower Podcast with Tanner Olson About Continue: Poems and Prayers of Hope: "This book was written for you. For the ordinary person made extraordinary in Christ who's working through life. For those of us that burn our toast on Monday mornings. For those of us that need our cup-of-joe to be more creamer than coffee. For those of us who have specific playlists to fit each and every one of our moods. For those of us who chase little ones around the house trying to get them ready for a busy school day. This poetry is for you. My hope is, through these 100+ poems and prayers, you will find hope in Christ and the motivation to continue through your days."

Well a ⁠familiar scene seems to have played out at a Georgia high school soccer match⁠ - white players lobbing racial epithets and officials on the field somehow don't hear it while coaches on the sideline and parents in the stands do. Yeah, that scene. In care you're wondering, the school alleging the racism went on to win the state title tonight, so there's that. Lastly, a ⁠Washington. Monthly opinion piece⁠ sums up nicely how President Biden's in a "damned if he does/doesn't" situation with the debt ceiling and how the GOP's sole aim is to sabotage his presidency even if it means American citizens suffer.

MEDITATION: The Choices that Determine Your Future PASSAGE: Proverbs 2 Our unfaithfulness is often the result of cultivating foolish desires in our hearts/minds rather than setting our hearts/minds on the Lord/his ways/purposes. So how can we live in order to avoid walking away from the Lord? The Clear Progression in Proverbs 2 “IF” you prioritize God's Word, 2:1-4 “THEN” you will understand the fear of the Lord and the proper way to live, 2:5, 9 AND this wisdom will deliver you from evil people and the road to death, 2:12, 16 “SO” you will live abundantly, 2:20 The “IF” of 2:1-4 MUST BE present in our lives in order to experience the “THEN” of 2:5-19 so that we can experience the “SO” of 2:20-22. The Main Teaching Point Proverbs 2 with an emphasis on 2:20-22 for the church: “So, IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the Lord and his word, THEN YOU WILL LIVE in the power of the Holy Spirit and keep your hands on the plow as you follow Jesus. For those who are transformed by the word of God will know rest in the midst of the difficulties of this world, and those who live out the truths they have been taught will know a peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the uncertainties of life. You will live the abundant life. But IF YOU DISREGARD the Lord and his word, THEN YOU WILL LIVE with worry, anxiety, idolatry, frustration, desperation, emptiness, and ultimately death. You will live a futile life.” “THEN…SO”—Two Possible Results 1)The Abundant Life 2)The Futile Life Which “result” we experience is dependent on the choices we make. If you could choose between… 1)faithfulness in following Jesus, rest, peace—abundant life! 2)worry, anxiety, idolatry, frustration, desperation, emptiness—futile life… …which would you choose? The result depends on a decision that you will have to make. “IF”—Two Possible Decisions 1)Follow the Lord and his word 2)Disregard the Lord and his word I.The Proper Focus on God's Word, 2:1-4 2:1-4, Note each colorful, active, and intentional verb! This is more than “a verse a day keeps the devil away!” Deut 6:6-9, “shall be on your heart” Joshua 1:7-8, “meditate on it day and night” To use the words of Deuteronomy, we are “to know” certain truths, then “to remember” those truths, followed by the warning “to not forget” those truths. Exhortations to Focus on God's Word (Deuteronomy) “know” – 10 times; “remember” – 16 times; “do not forget” – 14 times; OTHER WORDS: “be careful” – 30 times; “beware” – 9 times; “be diligent” – 2 times; “watch” – 6 times; “take heed” – 27 times THE POINT It is essential for us to KNOW certain truths and then to REMEMBER what we know and then to NOT FORGET what we are supposed to “remember.” This means that it is possible to FORGET, no matter who you are or how long you have walked with the Lord. We need these truths to be CEMENTED and re-cemented in our hearts, so we LIVE these truths! If not, we may find ourselves living rebelliously/missing out on the abundant life that God so graciously wants to give us. APPL: This is why we have devotions, go to church, meet in small groups, attend Bible studies, etc. PROBLEM: The word of God can often be seen as simplistic. And we might find ourselves gravitating toward other options: a self-help book, a quick-fix seminar, commiserating with a friend, or bowing to any of the “created things” we look to for life or satisfaction or deliverance from our pain. We have heard/said: “Christians just use God's word as a crutch” or “Don't give me some kind of ‘God-talk' answer!” BUT God's word is exactly what we need. We may not drink deeply of the truths of God's word or we might too quickly deflect reality with a quick chapter and verse…BUT we need God's word. We may offer to someone a chapter/verse with bad timing…BUT what they need is God's word. C. S. Lewis, “The process of living seems to consist in coming to realize certain truths so ancient and simple that, if stated, they sound like barren platitudes.” Ancient/simple truths… QUESTION: What can we do so that we know, remember, and not forget these truths? Meditation is the necessary practice that needs to be present in our lives so that we can “know,” then “remember,” and then “not forget.” PRINCIPLE: Meditation is reading the word of God over and over and over until it becomes who you are! Presupposition: We are all meditating or setting our hearts/minds on something, and that mindset or heart set has everything to do with the direction of our lives. (can't say, “thinking ‘bout nothing”) II.The Results of a Proper Focus, 2:5-19 (SEE SLIDE) These verses capture the sense of Romans 12:1-2. The renewing of our mind by God's word transforms us and helps us resist conforming to the world. First, it will transform us. RESULT #1: The Transformation to Wise Living, 2:5-11 Note the Progression of Proverbs 2 A commitment to God's word will have an impact in your life. It transforms who you are into the person God redeemed you to be. You will know the source of wisdom. 2:5-8 You will discern the fear of the Lord and discover the knowledge of God, 2:5 HOW? 2:6-7 The Lord gives it. RESULT: 2:8, The Lord will protect us. You will live a life of wisdom, 2:9-11 You will discern righteousness and justice and equity and every good course, 2:9 RESULT: Wise choices will protect us. RESULT #2: The Deliverance from Foolish Living, 2:12-19 Second, God's word will help us resist conformity to this world. Your wisdom will deliver you from evil people and their evil ways, 2:12-15 Your wisdom will deliver you from foolishness and the death it brings, 2:16-19 You will be delivered from all that opposes God, the “strange woman,” who seeks to lure you away from relationship with him. You will see evil for what it is. Foolishness is simply living as if God is NOT, but you will be delivered from that! III.The Abundant Life, 2:20-22 The main focus is for the Mosaic Covenant Community: Your obedience will allow you to dwell in the Promised Land and not be cut off from it. For us… “So, IF YOU PAY CLOSE ATTENTION to the Lord and his word, THEN YOU WILL LIVE in the power of the Holy Spirit and keep your hands on the plow as you follow Jesus. For those who are transformed by the word of God will know rest in the midst of the difficulties of this world, and those who live out the truths they have been taught will know a peace that passes all understanding in the midst of the uncertainties of life. You will live the abundant life. But IF YOU DISREGARD the Lord and his word, THEN YOU WILL LIVE with worry, anxiety, idolatry, frustration, desperation, emptiness, and ultimately death. You will live a futile life.” So, remember the clear progression of Prov 2? LET'S FLIP IT: If we want the “then” of 2:5, 9 and the “deliver” of 2:12, 16 and the “so” of 2:20, we must be committed to the “if of 2:1-4. READ THEM again! Perhaps we learned the children's song when we were young, “Read your Bible, pray every day, and you'll grow, grow, grow…Neglect your Bible, forget to pray, and you'll shrink, shrink, shrink….” (Sing the song!!) PRAYER: Let's take a moment and commit ourselves to the Lord, asking that he would give us deepened desires to mediate on his word in a manner that leads to our personal transformation.

Hippos named Fiona, whether robots feel afraid, stories as gateways for building empathy and compassion, broadening what is perceived as diverse literature, and creatively avoiding silos. We talk about all of that and more with Newbery Honor winner Jasmine Warga on today's episode of the Adventures in Learning podcast. Jasmine Warga is The New York Times best selling author of middle grade novels Other Words for Home, The Shape of Thunder, and A Rover's Story. Other Words For Home earned multiple awards, including a John Newbery Honor, a Walter Honor for Young Readers, and a Charlotte Huck Honor. The Shape of Thunder was a School Library Journal and Bank Street best book of the year, a finalist for the Barnes & Noble Children's and YA Book Award, and has been named to several state award reading lists. A Rover's Story, her latest novel, was an instant New York Times bestseller, a Indie Next List and a Junior Library Guild selection, and was named a best book of the year by Publishers Weekly and The Washington Post. And I will say I laughed and cried all the way through this beautiful book, so run and grab it. She's also the author of young adult novel My Heart and Other Black Holes, which has been translated into over 20 different languages.[03:00] What do baby hippos have to do with resilience?[04:12] Resilience and A Rover's Story[09:37] Storytelling and STEM Connections to A Rover's Story[13:29] Diversity and Storytelling[17:17] Do you remember the first story that you were told or that you read that really stuck with you?[19:38] Did those family stories inform Other Words for Home?[21:36] What were the books that influenced you growing up?[30:53] Given all of the book banning challenges, what would you tell teachers and librarians who are in the trenches right now?"But I think recognizing that by and large, the kids are with you. And I think by and large, most of the community is with you. And so just getting the kids the books they can the best that you can, and sort of, I think, trying to proceed with sort of radical empathy and kindness of sort of advocating for these books, but through the lens of why these books are so great."[35:17] What are your hopes for the future?Buzzsprout - Let's get your podcast laun Start for FREEDisclaimer: This post contains affiliate links.

This week we're (figuratively) ripping our skin off and talking about the books we're writing! This is an appetizer to a series we're planning to do this summer all about how a book gets made. We give a mini preview about what our books are about, and break down what our book writing process was like, from what made us finally start writing to what we wish we knew before we wrote our books. We also share the resources that helped us along our process and talk about what's coming next for our books!   We also recap our long weekend trips and our feelings about hot dogs
