Known for books like Beach Read and People We Meet on Vacation, Emily Henry is the patron saint of millennial romance. But for her latest novel, the author says she wanted to challenge herself in a new way. Great Big Beautiful Life is a story within a story about two journalists who are competing to write the biography of a fictional media heiress. There's romance at the center of the novel, but the story also follows a century-long family drama. In today's episode, Henry speaks with NPR's Miles Parks about braiding these two plots together, her interest in mother-daughter relationships, and grief as the flipside of love.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy

This December episode of the Fully-Booked podcast is one of those free-for-all episodes where we cover anything we like, without a specific theme. This week's discussion is about upcoming 2025 book adaptations we are excited for. This episode was notably pre-recorded, as Sireen was scheduled to be on maternity leave by the time of its airing. Current Reading Discussion: Contemporary Literature Analysis The hosts begin by sharing their recent reading experiences. Sireen discusses Ali Hazelwood's "2 Can Play," offering a critical analysis of its workplace romance narrative structure and problematic relationship dynamics. Meaghan shares her experience with two recent reads: "The Glimmer in the Hollows" from Round Fire Books, which she describes as a genre-bending mystery that evolves into science fiction, and "We Used to Live Here" by Marcus Kleewer, a thriller that originated from Reddit's NoSleep community. Adaptation Discourse and Fan Culture Analysis A significant portion of the discussion centers on the complex relationship between book adaptations and fan reception. The hosts explore how fan expectations and reactions can impact production decisions, citing specific examples: The shelving of "A Court of Thorns and Roses" adaptation by Hulu The successful casting decisions in "Shadow and Bone" The controversy surrounding various casting choices, including Idris Elba in "The Dark Tower" The debate over Hermione's casting in theatrical production We then move into a detailed examination of upcoming adaptations scheduled or anticipated for 2025: Horror and Thriller Adaptations "Welcome to Derry" (HBO) - A prequel series to "It" featuring Bill Skarsgård "The Housemaid" by Freda McFadden, starring Amanda Seyfried and Sydney Sweeney Guillermo del Toro's "Frankenstein" for Netflix, featuring a stellar cast including Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth Young Adult and Mystery Adaptations "We Were Liars" coming to Amazon Prime "The Good Girl's Guide to Murder" Season 2 "The Inheritance Games" adaptation (in development) Contemporary Literature Adaptations Emily Henry's "People We Meet on Vacation" - the first screen adaptation of her work "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo" by Taylor Jenkins Reid "Verity" by Colleen Hoover, starring Anne Hathaway Production Analysis and Industry Insights The hosts provide valuable insights into the adaptation process and industry trends throughout their discussion. The industry's approach to casting has evolved significantly, particularly in how productions handle fan expectations versus creative decisions. We see this exemplified in multiple upcoming projects: Anne Hathaway's casting in "Verity" represents a strategic choice to bring established star power to complex source material The casting of Tom Blyth and Emily Borden in "People We Meet on Vacation" shows a careful balance between emerging talent and proven performers The ensemble approach for del Toro's "Frankenstein" demonstrates how productions are leveraging diverse talent pools to create compelling ensemble casts We're witnessing a remarkable trend in how different types of adaptations are being scaled: Premium television series like "Welcome to Derry" are receiving feature-film level budgets and production values Smaller, character-driven stories like "The Housemaid" are being positioned as mid-budget prestigious productions Streaming platforms are investing heavily in multi-season potential, as evidenced by "The Good Girl's Guide to Murder" renewal strategy The industry is embracing innovative production techniques to translate complex literary narratives: Advanced visual effects integration for fantasy and horror adaptations Sophisticated narrative structuring for non-linear storytelling (particularly relevant for "The Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo") Enhanced production design capabilities that allow for more faithful recreation of literary worlds We're seeing carefully orchestrated release strategies that consider: Strategic timing of releases to avoid oversaturation in specific genres Coordinated marketing campaigns that engage both book fans and new audiences Platform-specific release models (binge vs. weekly episodes) tailored to content type Key trends emerging in the adaptation landscape: Increased focus on diverse source material and representation Growing emphasis on author involvement in adaptation processes Rising importance of social media engagement and fan community management Strategic franchise development potential for successful adaptations Closing Observations The episode concludes with reflections on how 2025 is shaping up to be a significant year for book-to-screen adaptations, with both hosts expressing particular interest in how these various projects will handle their source material and meet audience expectations. The discussion consistently returns to the theme of balancing faithful adaptation with creative interpretation, suggesting that the success of these upcoming projects will largely depend on how well they navigate these competing demands while maintaining the core essence of their source material.

Some of her fondest childhood memories involve long afternoons at the library and then reading late into the night. More than ten years ago, she began journaling about the books she read and turned that passion into writing about books. Her first forays were as a guest reviewer on a friend's blog, but she soon realized she wanted to be reviewing and talking about books on a blog of her own. From there, Novel Visits was born. That was in 2016 and, though the learning curve was steep, she loves being a part of the book community. Novel Visits focuses on new novel reviews (print and audio), previews of upcoming releases, and musings on all things bookish. Next Episode In two weeks (October 30), Catherine and I will be back with our Fall 2024 Circle Back episode.

I'm Annette Leonard of https://www.annetteleonard.com find me on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/theannetteleonard I recently read Emily Henry's, "The People We Meet on Vacation." She did a great job putting to language the ways we are confident and insecure, and how relationships expose us to new layers of ourselves. In the book one of her characters said that the more someone got to know her, the more she was afraid they'd discover the ugly and unlovable in her. I highlighted that passage and returned to it because I think that any of us who carry any shame or worthiness wounds -- that's what's at the heart of it. That when all the trappings are stripped away, we'll come up short and be rejected. That anxiety is often to difficult to bear and so we: hustle, people-please, distance, get addicted, hurt others first, and many more habits of self-defense. What's also interesting about this is that it's a commentary on the other person, too. It suggests that I'm so skilled at maintaining a façade that you can't see through, but if you did you wouldn't like what you'd see... So it also suggests that the other person (whose opinion we seem to care a lot about) is dupable or dim. Perhaps in a life without many obstacles, it might be easy to never have to examine these questions. However, chronic pain and illness stops you short and requires facing these kinds of questions. This weekend I was talking with a friend of a friend who had a life-altering surgery. They're questioning things like "What is my worth?" "What is my value if I'm not in the world of work?" "Will my partner stay if I'm significantly transformed?" These aren't simple questions. In a world where productivity is tied to output, it's difficult to not see that as a commentary on our worth. While it's so simple for me to see that YOU have intrinsic worth, your value is your existence, your value is your YOUNESS. But, it's much more difficult for me (on a hard day) to say it about myself -- but that is the goal. Do you struggle with these questions? This is the Chronic Wellness Podcast. I'm Annette Leonard, speaker, coach, and sick person who believes that my illnesses do not define me. If health is the absence of disease and wellness is the presence of wholeness, then no matter what your disease status, we can work toward your wellness, your wholeness.

We're kicking off a new month with an interview with our friend Elizabeth Martin! Elizabeth and our host Sarah Schalow met for the first time in the Grand Canyon - you'll hear that story right at the beginning of the conversation. Elizabeth recounted the Lord's faithfulness through stories of the friends God has brought her along the way. Elizabeth first tells us of her friend Abigail in high school who did not give up on getting to know Elizabeth even though she was a little more introverted. Elizabeth and her family had recently moved to Arizona from Iowa and to have someone reach out was meaningful. It was through this relationship that Elizabeth came to know the Lord. The rest of this interview is filled with story after story of God bringing along just the right person at just the right time. From multiple moves to personal struggles, to questions in parenting to teaching during covid, Elizabeth feels that God has been incredibly faithful in providing community for her and her family in each stage of their life. She gives us a lot of encouragement on how to seek out friendships and to ultimately be a good friend to others. She closes with this verse from Philippians 2:4, "Do not merely look out for your own personal interests but also for the interests of others." We were not called to live in isolation but to live in community. Don't miss out on what God could have for you in His people!Connect Groups at DSCC: https://dscchurch.churchcenter.com/registrations/events/1391282Would you please subscribe and leave us a review?
