SOLD!  Listen in to see what you'll find in Megan Soja's Secrets of the Revolution. note: links may be affiliate links that provide me with a small commission at no extra expense to you. In this episode we had a great conversation about what other realities of life were like during the colonial era and what really happened during the Boston Tea Party.   Secrets of the Revolution by Megan Soja The cause of liberty brought them together. Will it also tear them apart? Hannah Pierce is determined to keep her father‘s apothecary shop running, despite his failing health, the heavy burden of her mother's recent death, and the mysterious disappearance of her brother. She'll do whatever it takes to preserve her family's legacy, including joining a dangerous ring of patriot spies...and falling for a revolutionary printer with a brave heart. William Abbott always keeps his promises. He vowed long ago to never abandon those in need like his father did. So when new British acts of Parliament threaten Boston and endanger his family, he throws himself into serving the Patriot cause, using his position at the printing office to gather and spread intelligence. But when his clandestine role in the newly formed spy ring causes him to cross paths with the apothecary's beautiful daughter, he may find himself fighting for more than the cause. As tensions in Boston reach a breaking point, Will and Hannah find their bond deepening even as the noose tightens around the spy ring. When promises and determination are not enough to protect the ones they love, they'll need to trust God if they are to survive what is to come.

    "Il tallone da killer" di Alessandro Robecchi e i romanzi Romance di RokiaAlessandro Robecchi è uno scrittore conosciuto per i suoi noir sempre un po' graffianti e ironici, con un pizzico di critica sociale. Il suo protagonista seriale è Carlo Monterossi, autore tv che si diletta nelle indagini insieme all'amico detective privato Oscar Falcone. Ma poi ci sono anche i sovrintendenti di polizia Ghezzi e Carella. Stavolta, però, Robecchi ha preso una pausa dai suoi personaggi e ha scritto una black commedy: "Il tallone da killer" (Sellerio). Una commedia nera, dicevamo, che prende in giro con ironia e sarcasmo il mondo dei killer su commissione. I protagonisti sono due uomini, il Biondo e l'uomo con la cravatta, che hanno creato una vera e propria società che si dedica agli omicidi. Chi li vuole ingaggiare deve scrivere un necrologio con alcune parole chiave. Ma anche nel mondo dei killer su commissione c'è concorrenza: c'è chi abbassa troppo i prezzi o fa una sorta di black friday e i due si indispettiscono.Nella seconda parte parliamo di una delle massime esponenti del genere Romance che da anni domina le classifiche. Ha esordito su wattpad, la piattaforma di scrittura, nel 2016 con uno pseudonimo. I suoi scritti hanno avuto milioni di letture e così è stata notata da una casa editrice, Magazzini Salani, che ha iniziato a pubblicare i suoi romanzi. Parliamo di Rokia. I suoi sono amati dalle giovanissime anche perché ha la capacità di raccontare con sensibilità il dolore e il disagio psichico. Il nuovo romanzo si intitola "Guilty - Burn for love" ed è l'atteso seguito di "Guilty - Drunk in love". Ma il debutto era avvenuto nel 2022 con "The truth untold" seguito da "Sindrome".

    Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day

    Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for May 23, 2025 is: bastion • BAS-chun • noun A bastion is a place or system in which something (such as an idea) is protected and continues to survive. // The restaurant is a bastion of the region's ancient culinary traditions. See the entry > Examples: “In 2017, Harlem residents took to the streets to protest Keller Williams after the real estate company began marketing the neighborhood's 15-block southern radius (between 110th Street and 125th Street) as ‘SoHa' (South Harlem) without their approval. The biggest worry? That newcomers would attempt to erase Harlem's history as a civil rights nexus and bastion of Black American culture. In response, then-New York Sen. Brian Benjamin introduced legislation that banned unsolicited name changes and fined real estate firms for using names like SoHa.” — Jake Kring-Schreifels, Spokeo, 26 Mar. 2025 Did you know? Bastion today usually refers to a metaphorical fortress, a place where an idea, ethos, philosophy, culture, etc. is in some way protected and able to endure. But its oldest meaning concerned literal fortifications and strongholds. Bastion likely traces back to a verb, bastir, meaning “to build or weave,” from Old Occitan, a Romance language spoken in southern France from about 1100 to 1500. Bastir eventually led to bastia, an Italian word for a small quadrangular fortress, and from there bastione, referring to a part of a fortified structure—such as an outer wall—that juts or projects outward. Bastione became bastion in Middle French before entering English with the same meaning. You may be familiar with another bastir descendent, bastille, which refers generically to a prison or jail, but is best known as the name of the Parisian fortress-turned-prison stormed by an angry mob at the start of the French Revolution; the Bastille's fall is commemorated in France by the national holiday Bastille Day.

    Psychology is hard, even when you're just trying to understand what's going on with one impossibly complex person. Romance psychology is particularly hard because you're trying to understand what's going on between two impossibly complex people. Eli Finkel is a professor of psychology at Northwestern University. Paul Eastwick is a professor at the University of California, Davis. Both are experts on the psychology of attraction, dating, and romance and hosts of the Love Factually podcast. Today, Derek asks: Does anybody actually have "a type"? Are we any good at predicting the sort of people we'll fall in love with? Has online dating caused people to over-filter for attraction, even though initial attraction doesn't determine long-term compatibility?

    Summary: Muahaha! Cower in fear, dear listeners, as Holly and Devin discuss villains… who need a paycheck too. Whether you've worked in Corporate America or just like to imagine hell as an office building, these books will be a home run.  Topics Discussed: The Dagger (3:26): Holly discussed Sign Here by Claudia Lux, a satirical exploration of morality and corporate offices following Peyote Trip, a caseworker in the Deals Department of the fifth floor of Hell. Responsible for securing soups by making deals with humans desperate enough to sign away their afterlives, Peyote is on the cusp of a promotion. If he can sign up one more member of the Harrison family he'll get a “Complete Set” - five souls from the same lineage. Holly's key takeaways were: Hell's depiction as a monotonous office environment serves as a critique of bureaucratic inefficiencies and the dehumanizing aspects of corporate life.​ Peyote's journey reflects a deeper quest for self-understanding and the possibility of redemption, even within the confines of Hell. The novel explores the gray areas of morality, questioning the binary notions of good and evil through its characters' choices and motivations.​ The Harrison family's dynamics highlight the impact of generational secrets and the lengths individuals go to protect or escape their lineage.​  For Holly, the premise of the story was stronger than the execution. While it was entertaining throughout, the two storylines of Peyote in Helly and the Harrison Family on Earth don't come together as strongly and clearly as they could have.  The Heart (13:20): Devin discussed Assistant to the Villain by Hannah Nicole Maehrer, a BookTok-sourced Romantasy following Evie Sage, a young woman lying in the magical kingdom of Rennedawn who is in desperate need of a job. After an unfortunate firing and a spell of bad luck, she stumbles into a chance encounter with The Villain and ends up hired as his personal assistant. While yes, there are body parts swinging from the ceiling, his castle runs much like any business and Evie can handle the paperwork. Devin's key takeaways were: This novel highlights a recent publishing trend of storylines and authors becoming popular on social media sites like TikTok before they are published, then being signed by publishing companies to ride the wave of their popularity. Pros include increased diversity and a resurgence of popularity of reading in the zeitgeist, but Holly and Devin review cons like rushed editing and expected tropes as well.  Maehrer explores the idea that even villains deserve loyalty, empathy, and maybe even a decent lunch break. It's a workplace comedy... if the workplace had torture chambers. The absurdity of running an evil empire like an office is what makes the “villainous job” theme shine. Capitalism meets chaos magic. While not spicy at all, there are romantic elements to the story. The push-pull between danger and attraction for Evie and The Villain is delicious, especially when the boss could literally smite someone - but instead just broods silently when Evie talks to another guy. Hot On the Shelf (35:54): Holly: My Friends by Fredrik Backman Devin: That Time I Got Drunk and Saved a Human by Kimberly Lemming What's Making Our Hearts Race (41:47): Holly: The Last of Us Season 2 on HBO Max Devin: Volunteering in her local community   Instagram: @heartsanddaggerspod Website: www.heartsanddaggerspod.com   If you like what you hear, please tell your friends and rate and review us on Apple Podcasts and Spotify so that we can find our perfect audience.
