Send us a textGuess What? It's officially grey! We are in it. Oh my! It's Fifty shades of May over here on the Besties and the Books podcast. Welcome back to our spring mini episode series all about the extremely popular yet widely discredited book series: Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. We're officially into book two and things are not exactly going as planned…If you've been following along and watched our “Dark Romance Enters the Chat” episode then you know, we trace romance novels wayyy back to their origin so we can discuss what societal conditions helped to produce this canon of works mostly written by women, for women, with women's stories, pleasure, and lived experiences at the center. We examine what influence romance books have had on literature and the publishing world as a whole, and then specifically discuss what impact Fifty Shades had on the genre! It just happens to be a BIG bonus that Ashley and Liz have never read it before. So this is all new information to us.We think that whether you find these books problematic or not, credit must be given where credit is due. The fact that these books have been stigmatized, criticized, and repeatedly knocked down is indicative (we think) of a larger societal problem: misogyny. Because as a society, it seems we just can't stand it when women are successful… or when they enjoy something. Whether it's objectively “good” or “profitable” or not. Episode 2 covers book 2: Fifty Shades Darker by E. L. James. The first five-ish minutes are spoiler free with our one sentence rapid star and spice ratings. Then we jam pack this mini episode with an entire plot summary in five sentences (with a special classical surprise!), discuss what our faves and fail characters and plot points are, our feelings, notable quotes, red flags, problematic elements, and end with a fun piece of Fifty Shades trivia.Don't be shy, subscribe!

In dieser Folge von "Mission Bestseller" begrüße ich erneut meine Freundin und Kollegin, die Autorin Freya von Korff, die bereits zum zweiten Mal im Podcast zu Gast ist. Im Mittelpunkt steht ihr mutiger Schritt vom klassischen Urban Fantasy Genre hin zur gefragten Romantasy – eine Mischung aus Romance und Fantasy, die derzeit große Begeisterung bei jungen Leserinnen und auch Lesern weckt. Freya teilt ihre Erfahrungen und Learnings aus dem Genrewechsel, berichtet offen von ihren Erwartungen, Erfolgen und Herausforderungen sowie von ihren persönlichen Sichtweisen zum Thema "Writing to Market". Außerdem lässt sie uns an der Entwicklung und dem Launch ihrer neuen Pharaonensaga teilhaben, verrät Insights zur Buchvermarktung, dem Messeerfolg und wie sie den Balanceakt zwischen Markttrend und künstlerischer Authentizität meistert. Du suchst Einblicke ins Selfpublishing, aktuelle Buchtrends und Freyas Autorinnenreise? Dann bist du bei dieser Episode genau richtig! In dieser Podcast-Folge sprechen wir unter anderem folgende Aspekte an: Was waren für Freya von Korff die wichtigsten Gründe, den Schritt von Urban Fantasy in Richtung Romantasy zu wagen? Welche Rolle spielt „Writing to Market“ für Freya und wie schafft sie es, dabei authentisch zu bleiben? Wie hat Freya den Launch ihres neuen Buches auf der Leipziger Buchmesse erlebt und was war dabei für sie besonders überraschend? Inwiefern unterscheidet sich Freyas neue Pharaonen-Saga von klassischen Romantasy-Büchern – sowohl inhaltlich als auch stilistisch? Was war laut Freya besonders erfolgreich an ihrer Marketing-Strategie, speziell auf TikTok und der Buchmesse? Wie bewertet Freya den aktuellen Romantasy-Trend und den damit verbundenen „Hype“ im Selfpublishing-Bereich? Welche Balance sucht Freya zwischen eigenen künstlerischen Ansprüchen und den Erwartungen des Marktes? Wie hat Freya das Feedback bzw. die Reaktion ihrer bestehenden Leserschaft auf den Genrewechsel erlebt? Worauf legt Freya besonders Wert bei der Gestaltung und Produktion ihrer Bücher (z.B. Farbschnitt, Hardcover, Charakterkarten)? Wie steht Freya dazu, Bücher in schnellem Veröffentlichungsrhythmus herauszubringen, wie es manche im Selfpublishing erfolgreich praktizieren?   Hier die Links, die ich im Podcast anspreche, und weiterführende Informationen, Tipps und Erfahrungsberichte rund um Bücher, eBooks und deinen Erfolg: Hier findest du Freya von Korffs Internetseite: https://freyavonkorff.com/ Hier findest du Freya auf Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/freya_von_korff Hier kommst du zum „Pharaonenblut“ auf Amazon: https://amzn.to/3GJNQte Hier unsere Podcast-Folge vor Freyas Genrewechsel zu Romantasy: https://mission-bestseller.com/folge-317-romantasy-die-mischung-von-romance-und-fantasy-im-selfpublishing/ Hier geht es zu den Mission Bestseller Buchmarketing-Bootcamps: https://mission-bestseller.com/buchmarketingcamp Unter diesem Link kannst du dich zu meinen aktuellen kostenlosen Online-Trainings anmelden: https://mission-bestseller.com/onlinetraining Hier kommst du zum Mission Bestseller Schreib-Bootcamp: https://mission-bestseller.com/bootcamp   Hier findest du alles rund ums Selfpublishing: https://mission-bestseller.com Einige der Links auf dieser Seite sind Affiliate-Links und ich erhalte eine Provision, wenn du über sie kaufst, die sich nicht auf deinen Kaufpreis auswirkt.

She used all her sex appeal and her beautiful siren singing voice to draw him in...as a siren-fairy-human, she had special abilities. But what she needed most was his cock. They were having a great day...but it wasn't meant to last. Desperate to get with him, she uses her powers of seduction.Audiobook Blurb: Gabriella can smell men. Which is a good thing since she desperately needs men. It's not every fairy who also has siren in her, which allows her to use her irresistible singing voice to draw them nearer.

Most men will do, however, they only stay for little while.When she senses Leif hiking down the path, she experiences the usual growth in her size, which is imperative because if he can't see her, none of the good stuff will happen. He's different than the other men were, he might just be the solution she seeks. But then there's also the other paralyzing problem of trying to attain her freedom. All she desires is a happier, less lonely life once again, human sized.Tropes:*Open Door, HEA Spicy Romantasy, spicy erotic romance fiction.*Lust First, sexuality.*Forced proximity.*Shrinking woman, growing woman.*She needs a hero.*He's a cinnamon roll.*The miracle they seek, they don't know all the rules.Wingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series.

Send us a textToday Ashley and Liz are setting the stage for our mini episode series about the infamous 50 Shades of Grey trilogy which starts this Friday and continues on for five episodes, including the original three books, a surprise bonus book, and a wrap up episode covering the movies and all of our final thoughts! But today, buckle up for a spoiler free episode all about… ROMANCE NOVELS! The genre that changed the game for publishers… for readers… for writers… and for women. We've never read this series and want to examine it through a certain lens - what exactly did this series do for the genre as a whole? And who paved the way to make Fifty Shades of Grey a mainstream romance sensation? We take you wayyyyy back to the “first” romance novel, explore the OG pioneers of the genre, explain what defines a book as “romance” in the first place, and delve into how the content and themes have changed over time, influencing literature of ALL genres. We discuss the different evolutions and iterations of these books primarily written by women, for women, and how despite the success, popularity, and numbers to back it up… the romance genre is repeatedly labeled as “less than literature” or reduced to “chick lit.” We want to (NEED TO) talk about why.And don't worry, even though it's a little heavy, we still have a faves and fails and smash or pass, romance edition! Check out this author interview! | Callie Hart NYT Bestseller Author of Quicksilver! | https://youtu.be/CED5s7qDBdQ?si=8xtIRO1IzX6Rsld4Shop bookish apparel worn in this episode!Ashley is Wearing: ACOTAR Valkyrie Tee from @thebeanworkshop | Use code: BOOKBESTIES10 to save!  | * https://thebeanworkshop.store/products/to-the-stars-who-listen-and-the-dreams-are-answered-tee-shirt?_pos=9&_sid=823f6afe6&_ss=rLiz is wearing: “If You Want to Save Animals, Stop Eating Them” Baby Tee from @dont.eat.the.homies | https://donteatthehomies.com/products/save-animals-teeAny link with an * is an affiliate link through the service Magic Links and is eligible for a commission to us with no extra cost to you.

Subscriber-only episodeSend us a textEpisode 600: Wingless Hunger, Chapter 6, Open Door Spicy Romantasy, SEX! Finally, she's been waiting! Gabreilla was naked in the forest when she smelled a man nearby. She used all her sex appeal and her beautiful siren singing voice to draw him in...as a siren-fairy-human, she had special abilities. But what she needed most was his cock. They were having a great day...but it wasn't meant to last. Desperate to get with him, she uses her powers of seduction.Audiobook Blurb: Gabriella can smell men. Which is a good thing since she desperately needs men. It's not every fairy who also has siren in her, which allows her to use her irresistible singing voice to draw them nearer. Since she can't leave her invisible cage, this is a very useful talent, especially when it comes to drawing men to her area of the forest. Most men will do, however, they only stay for little while.When she senses Leif hiking down the path, she experiences the usual growth in her size, which is imperative because if he can't see her, none of the good stuff will happen. He's different than the other men were, he might just be the solution she seeks. But then there's also the other paralyzing problem of trying to attain her freedom. All she desires is a happier, less lonely life once again, human sized.Tropes:*Open Door, HEA Spicy Romantasy, spicy erotic romance fiction.*Lust First, sexuality.*Forced proximity.*Shrinking woman, growing woman.*She needs a hero.*He's a cinnamon roll.*The miracle they seek, they don't know all the rules.Wingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series.

En este programa en dos partes, nos sumergimos en el fenómeno que está conquistando librerías y redes sociales: el Romantasy, esa deliciosa mezcla de fantasía épica y romance ardiente. Qué lo diferencia de la fantasía young adult? Por qué arrasa en TikTok? Qué es BookTok y Bookstagram? Qué significa #Spicy? Qué buscan sus lector@s? Lo charlamos con humor, datos y nuestras propias experiencias como lectoras (y lector sorprendido...). Y en la segunda mitad del programa... entramos con spoilers a fondo en el final de Alas de Ónix, tercera parte de la saga Empíreo de Rebecca Yarros. Analizamos todo lo que pasó, lo que no entendimos, y lo que nos dejó temblando. ¿Dónde está Xxxxx? ¿Qué significa ese aaaaa? ¿Por qué XXXXX se borró la memoria? ✨ Hadas, dragones, embestidas, traumas y tensión sexual con alas. Esto es Romantasy. Y estamos completamente encantados!!!!! Presenta: Xevipanda Con la inestimable ayuda de: (seguidlas en IG) @desireedelgado (Desirée) @tintaymagia (Lola) Edita; Xevipanda con un par de canciones escritas por él y "tocadas" por SunoAI y un fondo LoFi del TFT, propiedad de Riot Games que no tiene copy :D La ilustración la hizo Dall-e sabiendo que estos modelos se entrenan usando dibujos de artistas reales y que si se puede siempre es mejor comisionar a uno de ellos.
