Today I am joined by Bethanie of the Prince Kai Fan Pod podcast and my friend Lily, and we will be chatting about Red Wolf by Rachel Vincent. Join us as we dive into this fantastic Red Riding Hood retelling that is also a Big Bad Wolf origin story. We'll chat not just about the book, but about the original Red Riding Hood fairy tales by Charles Perrault and the Brothers Grimm, and will discover how they tie into Red Wolf. A little about Red Wolf: For as long as 16-year-old Adele can remember, the village of Oakvale has been surrounded by the dark wood - a forest filled with terrible monsters. A forest that light itself cannot penetrate. Unlike her fellow villagers, Adele cannot avoid the dark wood.Adele is one of a long line of guardians: women who secretly take on the form of a wolf, in order to protect their village. But when accepting her fate means giving up the boy she loves, abandoning the future she imagined for herself, and breaking her own moral code, she must decide how far she is willing to go to keep her neighbors safe.Check out Prince Kai Fan PodFollow Prince Kai Fan Pod on InstagramHave a question about Red Wolf?

Our guests Rachel and Brittany share their stories about how it is for them, how they got into it and then of course lots of laughs...because don't mind if we do! Robin and Chelsea sample Tropical sour craft non alcoholic beer! So delicious and fruity!!

Focused primarily on commercial and institutional construction, Rachel spends her days managing an array of projects of unique scope and design, constructing business's dreams from plans into reality. Rachel's career path from the public sector to high-level construction was not an easy one but she hopes that through her trials and tears, to becoming a known and respected woman in the industry, she can inspire other women to think outside the box when choosing a career path and to never stop pushing through the stigmas of any industry.

Amanda and Jenn give more holiday recs and discuss some wintery reads in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by the Read Harder Journal and our True Story Giveaway. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS here, or via Apple Podcasts here. The show can also be found on Stitcher here. Feedback The Maze at Windermere (Sibyl from Insiders) Strange Practice (Sara M from Insiders) Questions 1. I’m looking for a wintertime book that is atmospheric and immersive that will make me feel the harshness of winter and want to cuddle up with my book and hot chocolate. I’m not looking for something heartwarming, just something reflective of the cold weather and set during Christmastime if possible. The only book I can think of that is similar to the reading experience I’m thinking of is The Snow Child by Eowyn Ivey. Thanks! --Kathleen 2. Just want to say I love the podcast and also love “All The Books!” too and listen to both religiously. My to-read list has now exploded exponentially so thanks. So much so that I’m considering taking a less interesting but better paid job just to fund my girlfriend’s and my reading and library building obsession. After a brief year or so hiatus from reading, my now girlfriend got me back into reading in a big way. I’m hoping to find a book for her for Christmas (or whenever) to inspire her in return. Her favourite books are: The Magicians Trilogy by Lev Grossman, World War Z – Max Brooks Neverwhere by Neil Gaiman, Amber Spyglass by Philip Pullman And (of course): Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban She also really likes the look of quirky horror books like Meddling Kids by Edgar Cantero and is really into books with realistic female portrayal and which aren’t washed with male only lead characters. Other than that she’s hoping to write a thesis on apocalyptic fiction, so obviously she loves that too! Thank you in advance! --Henry 3. I am looking for a book for my father in law and my father in law's partner. My father in law likes inspirational books that can also be applied to business. His partner is kind of a Cowboy, I was thinking of a book about the outdoors or a contemporary book about cowboys. If you could help I would greatly appreciate it, especially for the cowboy. --Gene 4. I am starting to look for book gifts for the holidays and need help finding a book for one friend in particular. She really loves jigsaw puzzles, so I'm wondering if there are any books you've enjoyed that include a female character who loves jigsaw puzzles. Something like The Friday Night Knitting Club but for puzzlers maybe? Does such a thing exist? Thanks! --Jeanne 5. I am a newish listener. I discovered the book riot podcasts this summer and I have been loving them. Recently I have been making my way through your archives. I love listening to your recommendations and always secretly hope to hear books I also recommend or have at least read. Finally my request. I have been meaning to do this request ever since I started listening to your podcast. If this is too tight of a deadline, I could always use your recommendations for next Christmas. As you might have guessed I am obsessed with books. I love sharing what I am reading or hearing about what others are reading. Christmas is a great time to share this passion. My dad and my twin niece and nephew are the ones that I have a request for. Dad: A lot of my conversations with my parents are around the books we are reading. My mom is part of a book club but I feel through the years my dad and I have sort have started our own informal book club. One of the times my dad visited me he borrowed one of my many bookmarks and wrote a recommendation list on the back, some of those books were "Trinity" Leon Uris, "Sometimes a Great Notion" Ken Kesey, "Dune" Frank Herbert, "Steppenwolf" by Herman Hesse, and "Bean Trees" by Barbara Kingsolver. One of our favourite authors is Richard Wagamese and we both admire Wab Kinew but my dad struggled with his memoir. He enjoys books that spark conversation and he has an interest in First Nations as he is living in an area that is dominantly First Nations (hence Richard Wagamese and Wab Kinew) but he is also interested in other topical issues. He has read Naomi Klein (found it a bit dense), The Best Laid Plans Terry Fallis andI got him Homo Deus by Yuval Noah Harari once for Christmas (he read it but had to take breaks). This year my dad is turning 70 (on Christmas) and I am getting him Richard Wagamese's final book but I am hoping through this jumbled paragraph that you might have another recommendation. The twins: The not as long list. My niece and nephew are 6 turning 7 late January. They are still at an age where I feel comfortable buying books instead of giving them gift cards for books. Last year for their birthday I gave them Iggy Peck, Architect and Rosie Revere, Engineer. They loved both these books. They love story time and interacting with the books (asking questions, making observations, telling stories). I was wondering if you had any other books along this vein with kids being creative and building or being artistic. My nephew likes to draw and has a vivid imagination. My niece likes to ask deep questions. Thank you for your amazing show --Jennifer 6. Hi I’m looking for some help, choosing a Christmas present for my Mum. She loves Patricia Briggs and Kelley Armstrong and has also really enjoyed Carrie Vaughn, Ben Aaronavitch, Kim Harrison and Rachel Vincent. Illona Andrews, Melissa Marr, Jim Butcher, Holly Black and Karen Chance got a meh reaction. JR ward and Laurel Hamilton are a no go (too much sex before you get any plot) Over the last decade I’ve also covered Cassandra Clare, Sarah J Maas, Charlaine Harris, Lilith St Crow, Rachel Caine, Julie Kagawa and Richelle mead to varying degrees of success. She has just spent August devouring Seanan McGuire’s Toby Daye series and has moved on to the Cryptozoology set for the autumn. In order to pay her back for introducing me to Anne MacCaffrey when I was 12 I’m looking for something that may have slipped under the radar that she will enjoy. Bonus if there are lots of back catalogue for the author. Thanks for your previous excellent recommendations for my Vegas trip. Fingers crossed you can help me find some new reads for my Mum. --Bex 7. I am looking for recommendations on what I call low urban fantasy. Stories where wizards and golems and all manner of weird things exist in the contemporary world, but rather than being a separate secret world with large-scale organizations, they exist in isolation and largely in secret on the fringes of society. The magic isn't some separate, arcane practice, but rather comes from or integrates everyday practices like poker or watching TV. The wonders themselves tend to be less spectacular and more like fudging reality a bit. The protagonists tend to be morally grey and less than savory. I've only found a couple of works that have scratched this particular itch (the work of Tim Powers, the roleplaying game Unknown Armies), and I would really appreciate any suggestions you could give. I would really like any suggestions that incorporate history into the magic (e.g. the death of Bugsy Siegel as an arcane ritual in Powers' Last Call). Also, books that do not feature straight white guys as the protagonist would be a nice change of pace. Thanks! --Alex Books Discussed Gunsmoke & Glamour by Hillary Monahan The Voyage Out by Virginia Woolf Two Old Women by Velma Wallis Once Upon a River by Diane Setterfield (tw: suicide, domestic violence, harm to children) Fledgling by Octavia E Butler (tw: pedophilia, sort of) Severance by Ling Ma Essentialism by Greg McKeown The Sisters Brothers by Patrick DeWitt The Death Safe by Edgar Wallace The Pattern in the Carpet by Margaret Drabble Grace for Gus by Harry Bliss Moon of the Crusted Snow by Waubgeshig Rice Touched by an Alien by Gini Koch Borderline (The Arcadia Project #1) by Mishell Baker (tw: suicide, self-harm) Half-Resurrection Blues by Daniel José Older Last Call at the Nightshade Lounge by Paul Krueger "Low fantasy" post

We are finally back! Sorry about that everyone. It's been a rough few weeks. In this episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous, Denise and Jess continue their discussion of My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, the first book in the Soul Screamers series. We get confirmations on certain theories about what is actually going on, but of course, that leads to nothing but more questions. Nash is being over protective, Tod is being creepy, and Kaylee is determined to see this through her own way. It's all leading up to the memorial service where they are sure that the number of bean sidhes in attendance will draw out the reaper causing all the problems. Be a part of the show!

In this episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous, Denise and Jess continue their discussion of My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent. the first book in the Soul Screamers series. In these chapters, we learn about reapers and meet one of our favorite characters: Tod. He's a reaper with a chip on his shoulder who is none too happy about getting stuck at his boring hospital job. We learn about the master list of death, which Kaylee and Nash try to get Tod to investigate for them. And now that Kaylee knows the truth of what she is, it's time to confront the aunt and uncle, who have been keeping this from her "for her own good." When has that ever worked out? Never! Denise is expounding on one of her theories and Jess is chuckling over Denise's innocence. GoodReads discussion post for this episode can be found here. Be a part of the show!

In this episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous, Denise and Jess continue their discussion of My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, covering chapters 7 through 9. The plot thickens as we find out that Kaylee's aunt and uncle, while still being rather unpleasant, know a lot more about what's going on than we expected (well, than Denise expected - Jess already knew, of course). Seems like everyone knows what's going on - except for Kaylee. She hears an odd phrase used to describe her: "living on borrowed time." What does that mean? We also FINALLY learn why Kaylee has been having these death premonitions - she's not human. She's a bean sidhe, more commonly called a banshee. Lots of information given and one crazy cliffhanger. Are you reading along? Are you enjoying the book so far? GoodReads discussion post for this can be found here. Be a part of the show!

In this episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous, we continue our discussion of My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, the first book in the Soul Screamers series. In this episode we meet Kaylee's cousin Sophie (who is awful) and Nash's mother Harmony (who seems kind of awesome, at least at first. Nash and Kaylee's relationship starts to heat up a little, although the fun is diminished just a bit with two more mysterious deaths: one a random girl at a movie theater, the other Sophie's friend Meredith. Also, weird shadowing things. Because that's not creepy. Also, it is clear now that whatever is going on, Nash is involved up to his eyeballs. We don't know how, but we know he is.

Hey everybody! It's a brand new episode of Bibliophiles Anonymous! We are finally rolling out our new format, where we take a book that one of us has read that the other one hasn't and tear it apart a bit. We call it "I Read It First!" For our first book, we are tackling My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent, the first book in the Soul Screamers series. Jess read this book several years ago, but it's all new to Denise. So far, she's enjoying it. Teenage angst. A strange and scary superpower. A mysterious green-eyed boy. What's not to love! Incidentally, this is the cover that Denise doesn't like all that much. It's way too vampire-y! There has been a GoodReads discussion board set up for this, so feel free to discuss things over there or in comments. Let's get things going! It's a new day here at Bibliophiles Anonymous! Be a part of the show! Email us at bibliophiles.podcast@gmail.com, find us on Facebook and Twitter, or leave comments on our website. We’d love to hear from you.
Hello everyone! We are back briefly to let everyone know the future of the podcast. We are not podfading, not giving up. Instead, we are happy to announce that we have a new plan and a new direction for the show. Just in case you don't listen to the podcast, here's the jist. Instead of choosing random topics each week, we will be focusing more on the actual reading of books. We are taking a brilliant idea from Jess and going forward with the "I Read It First" format. We will alternate, one host challenging the other to read a book that they haven't read. We will then split that book up in manageable chunks, a few chapters per show, and do an in depth episode, really digging in to the story. We will also start releasing the show in seasons, one season per book. Our first book is one that Jess is challenging Denise to read: My Soul to Take by Rachel Vincent. Hopefully the season will start within the next month. This is not to say that we won't occasionally do a special episode where we review an ARC or a new book-to-movie adaptation. But this will be our new main direction. We think that this will allow us to be more focused and more polished. It will also hopefully give our listeners something stronger to hold on to, and will hopefully let us have more discussion and participation. We will start recording season one soon! We hope you will join us! Also, we have a new website address: bibliophilespodcast.com. See you soon!
