El Cuaderno de Desafíos de Dash & Lily, escrito por Rachel Cohn y David Levithan, es una novela de romance juvenil publicada por primera vez en 2010. Es el primer libro de la serie “Dash & Lily” y tiene un tono festivo, ingenioso y aventurero.La historia transcurre en la ciudad de Nueva York durante la temporada navideña, con muchas escenas ambientadas en lugares icónicos como la librería The Strand.Lily, una adolescente optimista y peculiar, deja un cuaderno rojo lleno de desafíos en un estante de The Strand con la esperanza de encontrar a alguien especial que acepte el reto. Dash, un amante de los libros con una perspectiva algo cínica, encuentra el cuaderno y decide participar. Lo que sigue es un intercambio de desafíos, pensamientos y sentimientos a través del cuaderno, que revela las personalidades y los miedos de ambos.La historia explora temas como el amor, el autodescubrimiento y la belleza de salir de la zona de confort.• Dash: Un adolescente sarcástico, intelectual y poco entusiasta de la Navidad, que prefiere la soledad y los libros al bullicio navideño.• Lily: Una chica alegre y excéntrica que adora la Navidad, pero se siente sola durante la temporada porque su familia está ausente.• Los personajes secundarios incluyen a la familia excéntrica de Lily y los amigos de Dash, quienes añaden humor y profundidad a la historia.El cuaderno rojo y los desafíos crean una forma original y poco convencional para que los personajes se conecten.Con capítulos alternados escritos por Cohn y Levithan, las voces de Dash y Lily son distintas, encantadoras y llenas de humor.El escenario festivo de Nueva York aporta una atmósfera mágica a la historia.Netflix adaptó el libro en una serie de televisión navideña, Dash & Lily, que se estrenó en 2020. Captura gran parte del encanto de la novela y su espíritu festivo, aunque con algunos cambios creativos.El cuaderno de desafíos de Dash y LillyClub de lectura para alérgicas al muérdagoRecuerda que si gustas apoyarnos en nuestras lecturas y reseñas, lo puedes realizar mediante ☕️ Paypal o a través de nuestras redes sociales o correo electrónico.También te agradeceríamos

Super Noël sur Disney+ Cela fait deux saisons déjà que Scott Calvin (toujours sous les traits de Tim Allen) a repris du service en tant que Père Noël. Tout le monde le connaissait dans la trilogie de films Super Noël, mais le connaissez-vous dans la série Super Noël ? Toute la famille habite au Pôle nord entourée des elfes et des rennes. Les deux enfants Calvin ont bien grandi puisqu'ils sont devenus ados avec leurs crises existentielles. Dans la saison 1, sur le point de fêter son 65e anniversaire, Scott Calvin se rend compte qu'il ne peut pas être le Père Noël éternellement. Décidé à passer le relais, Scott se met à la recherche d'un successeur tout en préparant ses proches à une nouvelle aventure. Dans la saison 2, c'est vers Cal son fils qu'il se tourne pour reprendre l'affaire familiale, mais évidemment, tout ne se passe pas comme prévu. Il n'y pas plus « Noël » qu'une série aux côtés du Père Noël. https://youtu.be/SUPG9KWQMGw?si=87Yu9pr1u3onxYlo [bs_show url=the-santa-clause-wt"] Dash et Lily sur Netflix Peut-être qu'il n'y a eu qu'une seule saison de Dash (Austin Abrams) et Lily (Midori Francis), mais elle réconforte tellement que c'est toujours une piqûre de rappel que de voir cette mini-série sortie il y a déjà quelques temps sur Netflix adaptée d'un livre de Rachel Cohn & David Levithan. Pour rappel : Dash et Lily sont deux ados qui vivent à New York. Ils communiquent par le biais d'un carnet de notes que Lily cache dans une librairie (clin d'œil à plein de comédies romantiques et leurs relations épistolaires). À travers ce carnet, ils se lancent une multitude de défis pour sortir de leur zone de confort et aussi retrouver une petite étincelle dans la vie morne. Leurs caractères sont à l'opposé l'un de l'autre, Dash étant plus solitaire, cynique et méprisant les fêtes à cause de ses parents divorcés. Quant à Lily, elle est pleine de joie de vivre, adore sa famille, et bien évidemment les fêtes de fin d'année. Pour trouver l'amour, elle va laisser un carnet de défis dans une librairie que Dash va trouver. Un mélange d'amour, d'humour et de bonne humeur pour la période des fêtes, que demander de plus ?! https://youtu.be/awJtIQYNE-k?si=BkJ2FxiPfqrLX0s7 [bs_show url="dash-lily"] Ton Noël ou le mien 1 & 2 sur Prime Video Certes, il s'agit de deux films en fait, Ton Noël ou le mien avec Asa Butterfield. À Noël, Hayley Taylor (Cora Kirk) et James Hughes (Butterfield), un couple de jeunes étudiants, se préparent à passer les fêtes dans leurs familles respectives. Au moment de prendre leurs trains respectifs, chacun décide, sur une impulsion, de faire une surprise à l'autre et de changer de train pour aller passer Noël dans sa belle-famille. Finalement séparés et bien piégés par une météo catastrophique qui empêche tout mouvement, les deux amoureux vont peu à peu découvrir qu'ils sont loin de tout savoir l'un de l'autre. James débarque dans la famille Taylor, une famille haute en couleur où Noël est le point culminant de l'année, tandis que Hayley entre dans l'immense et intimidante propriété des Hughes où Noël ne semble pas pointer le bout de son nez Leur amour survivra-t-il aux révélations qui les attendent sous le sapin ? En tout cas, c'est bien la période des fêtes. https://youtu.be/ObRmLzY3ulA?si=v9c-Wss5tl482G6M

This month, we discuss books about music or musicians, one of the prompts on the Books and Bites Bingo Reading Challenge. From mixtapes to AI, music memoirs to YA novels, we share our thoughts on both music and books. Michael's PickMichael recommends The Storyteller: Tales of Life and Music by Dave Grohl. This memoir describes the passion that Grohl has had for music since he was a kid and goes into his punk-rock roots. He tells stories that are hilarious and heartfelt, from his days in Scream to the rise and fall of Nirvana and the formation of the Foo Fighters and everything in between.Pairing: KFC and champagne, a staple the Foo Fighters enjoy after special occasions.Carrie's PickCarrie enjoyed Don't Tell Anybody the Secrets I Told You by Grammy award-winning singer-songwriter Lucinda Williams. Williams writes about her journey to becoming an artist, from her chaotic childhood to her struggle to get signed by a recording company to her eventual success. If you've ever aspired to make art, whether music, literature, or something else, you'll find her persistence inspiring.Pairing: Monday's Red Beans from Melissa M. Martin's cookbook, Mosquito Supper Club: Cajun Recipes from a Disappearing Bayou.Jacqueline's PickJacquelline chose Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist a YA romance by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. The authors write alternating chapters for each character's point of view, with Cohn voicing Norah's point of view and Levithan doing the same for Nick. The characters bond through their shared love of musicians and music. The novel takes readers through a catalog of music from rock and roll to mainstream punk, as the characters navigate New York's Indie rock scene.Pairing: Mai Tai Mocktail Party Punch.

“We're coming to a place in time where life itself is making us go inner world focused.” –Kristin HanggiThere's more than the hero's journey. Kristin Hanggi and I are talking about the heroine's journey and feminine productivity. Kristin is a multi passionate director, writer, producer, artist, and poet, who compares the hero's journey — or the outer world journey — and the heroine's journey — or the inner world journey.The hero's journey is an amazing framework, and when I first heard Kristin speak about the heroine's journey, there was no doubt in my mind, I needed to get her on the podcast. Right now we are living the heroine's journey individually and collectively. We need to heal our feminine and masculine.The creative path will take you to your stuck places. You need to stay in the process to evolve. It's not always comfortable and is often hard. We talk about overcoming limiting beliefs and thoughts of scarcity. Most importantly, Kristin shares the framework that helps navigate our sould's journey.We talk about: The role of mentors in the heroine's journeyThe Dark Night of the Soul and what comes afterSeparation from the feminine, losing connection to the earth and our bodiesThe outward quest for success and spiritual aridness and not feeling fulfilled Healing our relationships with our bodies and the earth and reconnecting to and learning to trust the original wisdom that lives inside Finding the integration or sacred marriage between the masculine and feminineABOUT KRISTINKristin Hanggi is a theater, television, and film director as well as a passionate multi-hyphenate — writer, producer, artist and poet.She is best known for directing and developing the international smash-hit Rock of Ages, which received five Tony Award nominations, including a nomination for Best Direction of a Musical.

It's the end of the year, so we are once again reading a Levithan & Cohn collaboration. Unlike Dash & Lily... last year, though, we're not quite as satisfied this time around. Is it the manic pace of this "all in one night" romantic adventure or just the fact that the book doesn't offer enough beyond its obvious romance?Sadly the film only fares a little better! While Ari Graynor's Caroline is a runaway delight and Kat Dennings can do no wrong, Michael Cera has baggage, the queer representation is not GLAAD award-worthy and the repeated, egregious use of the "R" word is a major distraction (oh these 2000-2010 YA films). Neither book nor film are a slam dunk, but overall this is a step-up from recent full-length episodes. Hopefully we'll have better luck in 2022!Wanna connect with the show?

The Baby-Sitters Club. You may know the books, but do you know their story? David Levithan--Editorial Director at Scholastic; Founding Editor of Scholastic's PUSH imprint; and New York Times bestselling author of 23 books, including Boy Meets Boy, Nick & Norah's Infinite Playlist (co-written with Rachel Cohn), and, most recently, The Mysterious Disappearance of Aidan S. as told to his brother--invites Eve and Julie into the Baby-Sitters clubhouse to talk about the impact and legacy of the 300-book (and counting) series. With more than 176 million copies sold, this juggernaut has inspired spinoffs, graphic novels, a movie, and two different TV series. Julie and Eve discuss David's journey editing the series for nearly three decades--starting as a 19-year-old Scholastic intern--and what it's taught him about writing and editing; what it was like to work with Ann M. Martin--the original author of the series--to create a literary world that multiple authors have collaborated on; and how the series has influenced a generation of writers, from Elizabeth Acevedo to Jenny Han. Eve also shares with David her personal connection to Scholastic. Find us on Twitter (@bookdreamspod) and Instagram (@bookdreamspodcast), or email us at contact@bookdreamspodcast.com.

2020 has been one for the books, hasn’t it. See my pun there? A worldwide pandemic, a truly historic election, racial unrest, murder hornets, shortages of toilet paper, and massive fires in California are just a few weird things that happened this year; we all took solace where we could. For book lovers like us, it usually meant a book but could also include new hobbies like puzzles and baking for me, crocheting for Carrie, and wine for the both of us. For this last episode of 2020, Carrie and I decided to talk about some notable books that we didn’t have a chance to talk about during the year and also take a look forward to 2021 to some books we are anxious to read. Technology has really been messing with us at the end of 2020. Several pieces we recorded didn’t work, or disappeared, or just plain sucked. Anything that could go wrong did. So we had to get creative with this episode. And like many things about 2020, that creativity to do something different sometimes makes something better. I hope in this case this episode is better than the one we started with before the gremlins inside our computer got a hold of it. We will be taking a few weeks off. While we are gone, we will re-play some older episodes that we think deserve another listen. Then we will be back January 13 with all new episodes with cool interesting people who are book lovers too.

Join us for our Holiday Special. This year we take a look at Netflix's mini-series: Dash and Lily. Based off the Book from the creators of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (One of Chris's favorite movies), Rachel Cohn and David Levithan. The show is just joyful, fun and exciting. We teased that the show seemed to be a teenage Serendipity, but it's got more layers. We also discuss few other holiday watches (A very nutty christmas, princess switch, and the lego star wars holiday special) Plus we do Crossovers and 30 second pitches!

Spoiler Alert: Dustin lists off the differences between the book (written by Rachel Cohn & David Levithan) and the first season of the Netflix series (Dash & Lily).

In this episode, Ryan takes a look at Dash and Lily, a Christmas romantic comedy created by Joe Tracz, based on the young adult series Dash & Lily's Book of Dares by David Levithan and Rachel Cohn. It follows cynic, Dash, who has hated Christmas ever since his ex-girlfriend, Sophia dumped him, and Lily, a hopeless romantic who loves the holidays. Ryan talks about the surprisingly entertaining plot, his love and hate for some characters, and some possible season 2 theories. --- This episode is sponsored by · Anchor: The easiest way to make a podcast. https://anchor.fm/app

It's the most wonderful time of the year...for a scavenger hunt across NY city! Brenna and Joe are feeling nostalgia for Big Apple circa Dec 2019 (when the series was filmed), though there's a bit less passion for stars Austin Abrams and Midori Francis, who are well-cast and also mildly aggravating.Plus: we speculate who writes who in the book, tackle the ridiculous written ending, praise director Fred Savage and disagree about the use of holiday music. It's a magical episode!Wanna connect with the show? Use #HKHSPod on Twitter:Brenna: @brennacgrayJoe: @bstolemyremoteHave something longer to say or a minisode topic? Email us at hkhspod@gmail.com.

December is almost upon us, and with it a plethora of original holiday-related programming. Instead of focusing on of of the ones with a Christmas ghost or some other supernatural hook (next time!), we discuss a Netflix original miniseries we all found ourselves binging very very quickly, Dash & Lily. As another adaptation based off of a jointly-written Rachel Cohn and David Levithan young adult novel, this could have easily been Naomi and Ely's No Kiss Christmas but somehow blessedly it ended up being delightful and charming and fun. A TRUE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Listen to us gush about what we liked, the few things we didn't care for, and plan our annual Christmas spectacular movie (and corresponding elaborate drink exchange).

As another adaptation based off of a jointly-written Rachel Cohn and David Levithan young adult novel, this could have easily been Naomi and Ely's No Kiss Christmas but somehow blessedly it ended up being delightful and charming and fun. A TRUE CHRISTMAS MIRACLE! Listen to us gush about what we liked, the few things we didn't care for, and plan our annual Christmas spectacular movie (and corresponding elaborate drink exchange).

Published in 2002, Gingerbread is the story of Cyd Charisse, a teen who makes her way from a posh New England boarding school to her home in San Francisco and then to the larger-than-life streets of New York City, where she hopes to bond with the biological father she's idealized for over a decade. In the book, author Rachel Cohn explores the ideas of blended families, chosen families, unhealthy relationships, and tough choices. On Episode 69, Alli and her guest Kristina fangirl over Cohn's writing, take a deep dive into the way the book portrays abortion, recap Cyd Charisse's highly emotional journey through the novel, and so much more. Kristina Forest is the author of the YA rom-com I Wanna Be Where You Are. Follow her on Twitter (@KristinaForest) and Instagram (@kristinaforest_).

This month, Ryan Van Winkle and our own Sasha de Buyl interview best-selling YA authors Garth Nix (@garthnix), Leigh Bardugo (@LBardugo) and David Levithan (@loversdiction) about returning to different worlds, crafting a series and creating characters that break the mould.Garth Nix is the Australian-born author of the Old Kingdom series, the Keys to the Kingdom series and the Seventh Tower series. Written almost 20 years ago, Sabriel was the first book in the Old Kingdom series and told the story of a young girl tasked with making sure the dead stay dead. Though Garth hasn't returned to the world of the Old Kingdom since 2003's Abhorsen, last year's Clariel found him back there, this time several hundred years before the events of Sabriel. Garth talks to Sasha about what it was like to go back, and why he went there again.Leigh Bardugo is the Jerusalem-born, LA-raised author of The Grisha Trilogy, a YA fantasy series that comprises Shadow and Bone, Seige and Storm and the third in the trilogy, Ruin and Rising. Shadow and Bone tells the story of Alina Starkov, an orphan who has to harness powers she didn't even know she had in order to save her best friend. The novel debuted on the New York Times bestseller list and the series has proved incredibly popular. Leigh talks to Ryan about crafting a trilogy, realising your potential and never taking a break. David Levithan is the hugely popular American author of a number of YA books, including Boy Meets Boy and The Realm of Possibility, and books for adults including The Lover's Dictionary. In collaboration with Rachel Cohn, he wrote Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, which was adapted into a film in 2008. His newest novel Every Day tells the the story of A, a character that wakes up in a different body and in a different life each morning. David talks to Ryan about creating a character without physical characteristics, what makes us ourselves and the nature of love.Podcast contents00:00 - 01:02 Introduction01:10 - 14:08 Garth Nix interview14:09 - 22.39 Leigh Bardugo interview22:40 - 36:27 David Levithan interviewBook Talk is produced by Colin Fraser of Culture Laser Productions.

Written under the joint pen name David Van Etten, Likely Story and its sequels All That Glitters and Red Carpet Riot (on sale July 9, 2009) tell the story of Mallory, just your typical teenage girl living in SoCal–except that her mother is an over-the-top soap opera diva and she's caught up in a hot love quadrangle with a teen soap hunk. After an explosive confrontation with the aforementioned diva (Mal's mom is so fab, her name is never mentioned!), Mallory blogs about how ridiculous and unbelievable the soap opera her mother stars on can be. Mal writes about how if she had the chance to write a soap, it would be realistic and find its drama in real life situations, in other words a likely story. Imagine Mal's surprise when the network gets wind of the blog post and decides to cancel their long-running daytime drama and greenlights a new teen soap based on Mallory's premise! Did we mention the soap the network cancels is the one Mal's Mommy Dreariest stars on?You'll want to tune in to hear Van Etten, Levithan and Ozanich talk about how the Likely Story book series came into being. Learn how OLTL ultimately facilitated Van Etten and Ozanich becoming writing partners when the soap hired Ozanich an intern. Find out how at a Gotham party one night, Levithan, author of such teen classics as Boy Meets Boy and Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist (with Rachel Cohn) and editor of the smash hit The Babysitters' Club novel series for Scholastic, became intrigued by the idea of helping the pair bring Mallory's story to life.You'll learn what it's like to write a book series with not one, or two authors, but three. Van Etten and Ozanich, while swearing none of the characters are based on anyone they've met in their soapy pursuits (Talk about a likely story!), reveal how their day jobs did in fact help color Mallory's world. Is Mallory speaking for every disgruntled soap opera fan with the impassioned rant she posts on her blog? What about when she actually lands her dream job? As Mallory quickly finds out writing a daily soap opera, while dealing with temperamental divas, a reluctant hottie leading man and network interference, isn't as easy as she once believed, are we getting a glimpse of what it's really like for the harried men and women who bring us our favorite soaps five-days-a-week? What about Van Etten, do he and other real life soap scribes ever log on to blogs like DC or message boards to read what we're saying about their work? If so how does it effect the writing process?Ozanich, also an acclaimed playwright (The Lightening Field) shares how he's dealt with some of the sticky situations Mallory finds herself facing in the Likely Story books, such as having to let down friends who thought they were a shoe-in for a role in one of his dramatic works. Onzanich also runs hilarious, SNL-worthy interference for his pal Van Etten, when Jamey and Luke try to pry a few juicy spoilers about ABC Daytime's hottest soap out of the Emmy-winning breakdown writer. Levithan, an admitted novice to the wonderful and wacky world of daytime soap operas, talks about how he brought to the table the basic tenets of characterization and story to help make even Mallory's more larger-than-life adventures ring true. The editor for Scholastic's PUSH imprint shares how the coming of age tale, despite its soapy flavor, is quite universal. Levithan also tells us how he feels about the success of the big screen adaptation of Nick and Norah's Infinite Playlist, and gives other writers a bit of advice on how to make their books readily adaptable for film. Speaking of adapting literary works for the screen, could a Likely Story television series or film project be in the works? Tune in to find out.
