ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Shield of Sparrows: "You are a bird." It feels like it's been a while since Laura Marie and Jessica Marie were both delighted with a new release and while it probably hasn't been that long, finding the joy seemed harder than ever until ACOFAE picked up Shield of Sparrows. A big claim for sure, but how often does the journey of self discovery, self acceptance, and MONSTERS come into play together in a Romantasy? Monsters is a new addition to the ACOFAE lexicon and Laura Marie and Jessica Marie are along for the ride with Odessa, The Guardian, The Prince, and some questionable ladies' maids that may or may not have set Laura Marie off. Join ACOFAE as they dive into the fastest paced ending in a while where people are dying, monsters are flying, and maybe the real monsters -the kings and courts, are lying.

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.

We've disappeared into the void again, and this week we're talking about books. Not just any books though: Romantasy. Our hosts started reading the ACOTAR series and now they've falling down the rabbit hole. Christine and Renee catch up on which books they've read thus far and one they're reading together (Throne of Glass). It's beyond rare that their library stars align! Get ready to laugh out loud about how they visualize the characters, pronounce their names, and who is taking what happens in these books a little too personally!

Send us a textSeason 5, Episode 608: Wingless Hunger, Chapter 1, Open Door Spicy Romantasy, Naked in the Forest. 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. Written by author, podcaster, and narrator Ruan Willow. Enjoy this audio erotica excerpt, focusing on erotic romance.Book 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.*Lust First.*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.*Open sexuality and intimate sexual relationshipsWingless Hunger is a novella, book 1 of 4 in the Arching Hunger series.

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.

Maas and just want to hear more? Or will you now be picking up this book to read it yourself after hearing our reviews?We can't believe booktok and bookstagram forgot to mention this semi secret book by SJM! In this episode we give you our spoiler free reviews and explain why we think this DC Comics collab was a bit of a flop.First we'll set the scene, explaining what type of book Catwoman is, what type of series it's a part of, how the book is rated on Goodreads, and how it stacks up in comparison to SJM's other notoriously successful works. Then we'll get into the deep dive, our 5 sentence book summary, our personal thoughts, some outside reviews, and ultimately if it's worth reading, and if we'll continue the series. You might be surprised at what we found.

Send us a textGuess What? It's gonna be grey…It is grey! It's Fifty shades of May over here on the Besties and the Books podcast. Welcome to our spring mini episode series all about the extremely popular yet widely discredited book series: Fifty Shades of Grey by E.L. James. 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 1 covers book 1: Fifty Shades of Grey 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.Join our Virtual Book Club & Buddy Read on Fable! | https://fable.co/club/50-shades-of-grey-pod-read-with-bestiesandthebookclub-487898954653Don't be shy, subscribe!

The genre that changed the game for publishers… for readers… for writers… and for women.

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.
