In this bonus book club episode, Marisa Serafini (@SerafiniTV) and I delve into RF Kuang's final book in The Poppy War trilogy, called The Burning God. In this final chapter, after saving her nation of Nikan from foreign invaders and battling the evil Empress Su Daji in a brutal civil war, Fang Runin was betrayed by allies and left for dead. Despite her losses, Rin hasn't given up on those for whom she has sacrificed so much—the people of the southern provinces and especially Tikany, the village that is her home. Returning to her roots, Rin meets difficult challenges—and unexpected opportunities. While her new allies in the Southern Coalition leadership are sly and untrustworthy, Rin quickly realizes that the real power in Nikan lies with the millions of common people who thirst for vengeance and revere her as a goddess of salvation. Backed by the masses and her Southern Army, Rin will use every weapon to defeat the Dragon Republic, the colonizing Hesperians, and all who threaten the shamanic arts and their practitioners. As her power and influence grows, though, will she be strong enough to resist the Phoenix's intoxicating voice urging her to burn the world and everything in it? Join the conversation!

In this bonus book club episode, Marisa Serafini (@SerafiniTV) and I delve into RF Kuang's follow-up to The Poppy War, called The Dragon Republic. In this sequel, the war is over. The war has just begun. Three times throughout its history, Nikan has fought for its survival in the bloody Poppy Wars. Though the third battle has just ended, shaman and warrior Rin cannot forget the atrocity she committed to save her people. Now she is on the run from her guilt, the opium addiction that holds her like a vice, and the murderous commands of the fiery Phoenix—the vengeful god who has blessed Rin with her fearsome power. Though she does not want to live, she refuses to die until she avenges the traitorous Empress who betrayed Rin's homeland to its enemies. Her only hope is to join forces with the powerful Dragon Warlord, who plots to conquer Nikan, unseat the Empress, and create a new republic. But neither the Empress nor the Dragon Warlord are what they seem. The more Rin witnesses, the more she fears her love for Nikan will force her to use the Phoenix's deadly power once more. Because there is nothing Rin won't sacrifice to save her country . . . and exact her vengeance. Join the conversation!

This week on the KPL Podcast we have debut author Tasha Coryell.  Love Letters to a Serial Killer is her first novel about a 30-something woman who starts writing an accused killer in jail and falls in love.  Listen to learn moreAuthor RecommendationsThe Poppy War by RF KuangYellowface by RF KuangBabel by RF Kuang

"An act of translation is always an act of betrayal." This idea, and the questions it inspires, are central to author Rebecca or RF Kuang's 2022 novel, Babel: Or the Necessity of Violence: An Arcane History of the Oxford Translators' Revolution. As the title promises, the book also explores the nature of revolution and the "necessity of violence," in addition to those complex questions surrounding the art of translation. This hour, we revisit our conversation with the author, which was focused on the award-winning book, during an event organized by local bookseller RJ Julia. On the importance of student revolutions, Kuang reflects, "The student's weakness is precisely his allure. The fact that the student is so naïve and doesn't have the jadedness of somebody who's been through more; the fact that students are dreamers, that they are romantic idealists; that kind of hope, that kind of ability to imagine an alternate future is beautiful and it matters and I hope we keep seeing that." GUESTS: RF or Rebecca Kuang: Award-winning author of the Poppy War trilogy, Babel: An Arcane History, Yellowface, and Katabasis (forthcoming). She has an MPhil in Chinese Studies from Cambridge and an MSc in Contemporary Chinese Studies from Oxford; she is now pursuing a PhD in East Asian Languages and Literatures at Yale.

We're decorated, stocked up, and ready to enter the holiday season — with "Shoebert the Traveling Seal." Hear all about Industry Books, our micropublishing house, and our latest project, a children's book that details the travels of the real-life Shoebert, a seal who arrived in a Beverly pond in an industrial park and promptly became a social media star and beloved mascot. It's fun. But we've also been reading, and you can hear our thoughts on RF Kuang's "Babel" (one of the more important books of the last decade? What is the moral culpability of the person who inveted the "like" button? Are we crossing the HarperCollins picket line by talking about this book? How is Kuang only 26?), "Lavender House" (an LGBTQ mystery), the new Stephen King (the King Paradox!), the "Graceling" graphic novel, and the latest by a Waring School graduate(!), which drives a discussion of what "women's literature" might be. 

SOME HOUSEKEEPING IN THE SHOW NOTES: Sorry about the unannounced mini-hiatus! There will be TWO episodes this week, so keep an eye out for our show on RF Kuang's 'Babel' on Wednesday. We'll be back to our regular cadence next week.  This week, Aaron and Leyla indulge in a Don Bluth classic, The Secret of NIMH! Join us for discussion of little guy things, direct-action shrews, and rats that were drawn sexy.

This week Hannah and Laura are covering part 1 of The Burning God by R.F. Kuang! It's actually happening. But first! Laura loves the Percy Jackson and the Olympians series, but Hannah and Laura question the casting of the movies. She also did a buddy read-a-thon of a graphic novel favorite. Hannah watched a really cute movie starring Nick Offerman, and read a short book that is perfect for Halloween and gave her some scary dreams. She was also slightly let down by the ending of a science-fiction book that she really enjoyed.Also, be sure to check out our INDIE INTERMISSION and support Indie Authors!TW for the plot discussion: violence; drug use; sexual abuse; abuse; blood; war; deathMedia Mentions: The Poppy War by R.F.

Hannah and Laura have an amazing opportunity and they want you to join them! You can become a coach! Just kidding.  BUT! Laura read a heavy book that put her into a slump and attempted to get out of the reading slump by reading...another heavy book.  She also reveals that she can't stand a certain Marvel character, which will surprise no-one.  Hannah has read a lot of books that are also heavy in order to add to the heavy book list. She continues to evade questions about her fan fiction, and has finished watching one of her favorite shows on Netflix. Then we talk about the characters of The Dragon Republic and share some final thoughts.Media Mentions:Babel by R.F. KuangThe Poppy War by R.F. KuangThe Dragon Republic by R.F.

It may not be a reading podcast this week, or at least not for Laura!! We do a deep dive into canning, goats, and The Newest Olympian podcast nonstop. Hannah went on vacation recently, saw the former VP, and got a lot of reading done. She listened to a couple of books that she found just "meh," and questioned whether or not audiobook actors/narrators get *too* into the characters they portray at times. Then we cover part 3 of The Dragon Republic and give some of our thoughts on the book overall! Nezha is the worst, Kuang is doing interesting things with the narrative, and we say goodbye to some wonderful friends. TW for the second half of the episode: abuse; self harm; sexual assault; racism; ableism; violence; war; guns; death; drugs; abortion; rape; hallucinationsMedia Mentions:The Newest Olympian podcastThe Bechdel Cast podcastFrozen---Disney+Nine Perfect Strangers by Liane MoriartyBig Little Lies by Liane MoriartyNine Perfect Strangers---HuluThe Gilded Wolves by Roshani ChokshiFunny You Should Ask by Elissa SussmanFix Her Up by Tessa BaileyNever Have I Ever---NetflixBlackbird---AppleTVThe Hating Game---HuluSet It Up---NetflixAvatar: The Last Airbender---Netflix
