Summary: From Lord of the Rings to ACOTAR, Fantasy is a genre that is as unique and multifaceted as the human imagination. Today, Holly and Devin give a sense of the range and flexibility of the genre by bringing books from their wheelhouses - how can a single genre be the coziest and creepiest? What we do know, at least, is that any fantasy story will be a great escape from reality and any great fantasy author can build us vivid worlds we've never seen before. Topics Discussed: The Heart (4:01): Devin discussed Legends and Lattes by Travis Baldree, a cozy fantasy following Viv, a recently retired mercenary orc looking to start anew in the city of Thune. In her travels she discovered an unusual drink called coffee, and has a dream of opening a shop that sells it. Soon she is working alongside a succubus, a ratfolk, other orcs, wizards and all kinds of people seeking peace, pastries, and a latte. After a lifetime of danger, swords, and threats, can Viv relax enough to accept her new, slower-paced life and new friends who like her for her and not her muscles? Devin's key takeaways were: If you want an orc-themed blanket to wrap yourself in this holiday season, Legends and Lattes is it! As a fantasy lover there were moments where Devin's heart rate picked up, but any reader will immediately be soothed by Baldree's diligent plotting and ability to take his foot of the gas without making the book boring. There is so much humanity and heart in these non-human creatures from Orcs to Succubuses to Ratfolk and everything in between; the fantastical flare to a coffee shop that serves cappuccino and pastries levels up the magical feeling of a cozy, easy read. The soft, evolving dynamic between Viv and Tanzy (succubus barista) as Viv lets go of a life of hypervigilance and mistrust and learns to build a community and healthy, non-combat relationships is a delight for any romance fan. There is tension and flirting but no pressure and the dynamic founded in friendship and respect is all anyone can hope for in life. The Dagger (16:27): Holly discussed The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins, an apocalyptic fantasy novel following Carolyn, one of twelve adopted children of a powerful, god-like being called Father. Each child was raised in isolation and taught by Father in his mystical library to master a specific catalog of knowledge. After decades of abuse, living in fear, and consistent punishments - Father has disappeared and the library is locked. Carolyn enacts a plan she's been building for years, one that could give her the power of Father, or destroy her. Holly's key takeaways were: The novel examines the corrupting nature of power and how it can alter one's humanity. Carolyn's pursuit of ultimate power in the Library raises questions about whether anyone can wield such control without becoming monstrous. Carolyn and her siblings have been scarred by Father's abusive upbringing, creating deep-seated trauma that influences their actions. The novel explores the long-lasting impact of trauma, especially within a family, and how abuse can shape one's path, even when seeking liberation. The Library, with its endless knowledge, symbolizes the human pursuit of understanding and control over the universe. However, this knowledge is also dangerous and overwhelming, reflecting the idea that some things may be beyond human comprehension.

See their Data Mesh Summit recordings here and their great data mesh resource center hereScott Hawkins' LinkedIn: https://www.linkedin.com/in/scott-hawkins-8934393/In this episode, Scott interviewed Scott Hawkins, Principal Data Architect at ITV. Scott views data mesh as a mechanism for change. Your company culture and your understanding of it are crucial to establishing data mesh well, driving that buy-in. Ask yourself: what challenges does data mesh actually address and hopefully solve, how will it impact the business not the tech, and what does it change. Your organization might not be ready for data mesh. Or a specific domain might not be ready. And that's okay! As ITV moved forward, they found a "good enough" solution via a global ID. It's not perfect, there might be some overlap - such as one person might have a different global ID for their online subscription versus their broadcast subscription - but it is far better than what they were doing. And it allows for interoperability/joins across the data. This is a big improvement - don't let perfect be the enemy of good or done.One thing working for ITV is deploying a "team-in-a-box" to help domains move forward - similar to an internal consulting team. Each situation is different so each box they are given is different. The team-in-a-box concept also means it is somewhat easier to build common best practices internally. Coming to the table with defaults has really helped ITV. Per Scott, there are 3 good ways to drive buy-in for the domain teams: At the senior level - so it trickles down as the management for the team is bought in.Via a strong carrot - solve a problem for them as a kind of quid quo pro / mutually beneficial solution. Trying to solve an unrelated problem will drive lower buy-in.Work on realigning the team KPIs/OKRs with the senior leaders to actually realign incentives. Continuing on the driving buy-in, Scott recommends working with the domain managers to generate a viable/valuable carrot for the entire team. Explain to those leaders why it matters, work with the leaders to revamp the KPIs if the KPIs are getting in the way of delivering a good data product. This is why exec-level buy-in is so crucial - it is pretty hard to start modifying team KPIs/OKRs...

This week I'm beginning my supposed ‘break' from reading.There is still an episode, however, and it's a doozy. You may be glad to hear I've put down the books for a short while, ‘cos my guest is a huge name from the cinematic aisle of the horror world – Craig Engler, GM of Shudder is in the house!!He joined me for a conversation back in October, when we were both in the throes of the Halloween build up. Now, listening to this weeks later, you can hardly hear the strain in our voices at all. We talk about Craig's creative life and work – from his role in the show, Z-nation, to the helm of Shudder. We debate dream book-to-movie adaptations and, of course, I ask him which films he thinks are the scariest on Shudder. Most of them I'm too afraid to watch.Oh, and I may use this interview to apply for a non-existent job.Enjoy – this will have your Christmas TV binge covered.Other books mentioned in this episode include:The Library at Mount Char (2015), by Scott Hawkins (episode 94)House of Leaves (2000), by Mark Z.

See their Data Mesh Summit recordings https://www.starburst.io/learn/events-webinars/datanova-on-demand/?datameshradio (here) and their great data mesh resource center https://www.starburst.io/info/distributed-data-mesh-resource-center/?datameshradio (here) In this episode, Scott interviewed Scott Hawkins, Principal Data Architect at ITV. Scott views data mesh as a mechanism for change. Your company culture and your understanding of it are crucial to establishing data mesh well, driving that buy-in. Ask yourself: what challenges does data mesh actually address and hopefully solve, how will it impact the business not the tech, and what does it change. Your organization might not be ready for data mesh. Or a specific domain might not be ready. And that's okay! As ITV moved forward, they found a "good enough" solution via a global ID. It's not perfect, there might be some overlap - such as one person might have a different global ID for their online subscription versus their broadcast subscription - but it is far better than what they were doing. And it allows for interoperability/joins across the data. This is a big improvement - don't let perfect be the enemy of good or done. One thing working for ITV is deploying a "team-in-a-box" to help domains move forward - similar to an internal consulting team. Each situation is different so each box they are given is different. The team-in-a-box concept also means it is somewhat easier to build common best practices internally. Coming to the table with defaults has really helped ITV. Per Scott, there are 3 good ways to drive buy-in for the domain teams: At the senior level - so it trickles down as the management for the team is bought in. Via a strong carrot - solve a problem for them as a kind of quid quo pro / mutually beneficial solution. Trying to solve an unrelated problem will drive lower buy-in. Work on realigning the team KPIs/OKRs with the senior leaders to actually realign incentives. Continuing on the driving buy-in, Scott recommends working with the domain managers to generate a viable/valuable carrot for the entire team. Explain to those leaders why it matters, work with the leaders to revamp the KPIs if the KPIs are getting in the way of delivering a good data product. This is why exec-level buy-in is so crucial - it is pretty hard to start modifying team KPIs/OKRs without it! Talking to teams to understand who they (the individual and the group) operate is crucial to developing the right path for them. Scott also talked about making failure an option. You can try to work with a domain and if it isn't working, it's okay to move on. You don't need to get everyone onboard on day one or sharing their data on day one. If you design incentives well, people will want to participate eventually. Until then, it's okay to walk away from that team.

Hi! Thanks for your podcast. I love it! My request is about the country of Turkey. I have never been and don't know when I might get to travel there but I would love to learn about the culture of Turkey. I generally prefer fiction but I'm open to any genre. I have also been enjoying memoirs/biographies lately. Many thanks! -Sue 2. I just finished the Once and Future Witches and loved it. I'd be interested in reading more on the Salem witch trials from the feminist perspective...but I would want the non-fiction to feel a lot more like fiction. -Melissa 3. I'm not sure if what I'm looking for even exists, but I figured it was worth the ask! I unironically adored the X-Files short story collections edited by Jonathan Mayberry. There were three of them (Trust No One, The Truth is Out There, and Secret Agendas.) And I've listened to them over and over again. I'm looking for something, really anything, but preferably short story collections, that scratch that itch of weird, paranormal, urban folklore, and cryptids. (Bonus points if there's a mothman appearance.) I'm not stuck on traditional America folklore and cryptids, though I do love them, I also love the stories of Indigenous people and other countries and people. I'm not super interested in the government storylines. My favorite stories were: Snowman, Perithicia , Desperately Seeking Mothman, Non Gratum Anus Rodentum, and Loving The Alien. Please nothing with sexual assault. Thank you, -Annie 4. Hi Amanda and Jen! So I just finished The House in the Cerulean Sea by T.J. Klune and omg it was exactly what I needed right now. Normally I am into fantasy/scifi/horror but with everything going on in the world I guess I just needed a literary hug which was The House in the Cerulean Sea did for me. Do you have any read alike recommendations of just some feel good happy books? Preferably not mainly romance but I would give it a shot if you felt strongly about it. Bonus points for diversity and found family themes. -Jennifer 5. I have read all of Louise Penny's mysteries, Agatha Christie mysteries and Sherlock Holmes stories.. I like mysteries that feature a competent detective who doesn't have a lot of angst. Hercule Poirot is a detective that I think fulfills that requirement. Recent authors that I have liked are Hans Olav Lahlum whose detective is working with a wheelchair bound woman who is brilliant and serves as his advisor, mysteries by John Farrow and Louise Luna. I have also read all of Tana French, Peter Lovesey, Deborah Crombie and Peter Robinson. -Ann 6. Hi Amanda and Jenn - First off, love love love your show! It really has expanded my reading shelves the past year and half, and I am forever thankful to you for introducing me to so many wonderful authors and stories. That being said, I'm in need of a recommendation. I read The Library at Mount Char by Scott Hawkins last year, and it quickly became a favorite of mine. I finished the book with this feeling of "what did I just read!?", and to this day I still don't know how to articulate it to friends when I tell them they should read it. It's weird and wonderful and complex and I cannot get it out of my brain even after a year of reading it. When I really think about it, the use of God's/mythology intertwined in everyday life and the impacts on the unsuspecting citizens is what really piqued my interest. But I also loved how random the plot line seemed until all the little strings came together. I've read American Gods by Neil Gaiman, and it semi-scratched the itch. It was good and I enjoyed it, but I was able to figure out the plot line before the book was finished. My go to genres are obviously fantasy/sci-fi and I love mythology of any kind mixed in. I have Gods of Jade and Shadow queued up in my Kindle to read next (thanks to your recommendations), but I'm really at a loss for what to read to fill the hole in my heart that this oddity of a book left. Any ideas? Thanks so much! Stay safe during all of this craziness! -Christina 7. Do you have any recommendations for own voices novels that take place in rainforests (preferably in South America)? I've been enjoying reading books set in the Amazon lately, but everything I find is written by white people from western countries and it feels kind of gross. Nonfiction and fiction are both great, I just really enjoy the setting. Thanks! P.S. - I know you skip reading praise on the air so I put this at the end but I want to tell you that I love your podcast.

Dr. Scott Hawkins graduated from Northwestern Health Sciences University in 2015 and has owned and operated LIV Chiropractic since November 2017. Dr. Scott received his bachelors degree in Biomedical Sciences at St. Cloud State University where he played Division 2 basketball. He grew up in New Ulm, Minnesota and his father Steve and two brothers, Danny and Andy are all Doctors of Chiropractic. “I have always dreamed of having my own practice and being able to use the wonderful concepts of Chiropractic to help people. Helping people is what I love to do most.” Dr. Scott works as a traditional Chiropractor focusing on adjusting vertebral subluxations which are the neurological purpose of the Chiropractic Adjustment. He is an active member of both the Edina Rotary Club and Chamber of Commerce. Additionally, Dr. Scott & LIV Chiropractic host the Epicenter of Chiropractic (EPOC) Minnesota, a Chiropractic movement bringing chiropractors, chiropractic students and people of the public together in one place for a night of growth and learning.
A New show from 25th May 2019 where Les & Dod bring you all your favorite features. Scratch Card Challenge, crazy calls, poetry, sketches and much more. This week the lads are joined by conceptual artist Scott Hawkins and his hand build instuments making what can be only described as a "racket".
Brady joined Scott Hawkins, host of PayPod, a podcast for the payments industry, to talk about bitcoin. It was originally published on Dec 31, 2018. This episode has some crossover with our Bitcoin Turns Ten episode but is still worth a listen. Watch out for a new ep with me and Tommy dropping later today! Find the original podcast and show notes here: https://www.soarpay.com/2018/12/swenson-ep27/
In a one-hour supershow, the guys talk to Thorndale coach Scott Hawkins about his surging Bulldogs and their strange schedule, share Tepper's predictions for Week 10 of the Texas high school football season, offer Free Money with their Texas college football picks against the spread, and remember the 10th anniversary of Michael Crabtree's game-winning catch maturely and respectfully.
Along with bands like Frodus, Lugnut, and Kidskin Conduction, Bubble Jug played loud, experimental, and intense shows in and around the Chantilly, VA area. The lineup consisted of Dave Cleary and Kelly Medford sharing lead vocals, Scott Hawkins on bass, Jayson Capps on guitar, Josh Neall on drums, and the late Nathan Maddox on saxophone and everything else. Bubble Jug followed in the footsteps of bands as diverse as Nation of Ulysses, Bikini Kill, Born Against, and Sonic Youth, and added even more interesting sounds on their recordings with the help of Christian Quick at Stillness Sound. Like the delicious and highly edible gum from which they took their name, Bubble Jug burned bright for a few years and then disappeared... until now.
Scott Hawkins is the owner and co-founder of LIV Chiropractic . In this interview, Scott shares his big vision and desire to make an impact in the health of others in the city. He always aims to develop a meaningful personal relationship.

Amanda and Jenn discuss stocking-stuffer books, seasonal short stories, romances, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by No Time To Spare, new essays from Ursula K. Le Guin, and OwlCrate. Questions 1. Hi Jenn and Amanda, I’m looking for some good romances for the holiday season. All my life I’ve had my internal misogyny telling me that romance was a waste of time and bad writing, but I’m ready to get out there and expand my horizons. I mostly read YA and nonfiction, but I’m open to anything with a fun plot. I’m in the mood to curl up with something cute and fluffy. I’m not afraid of something steamy but I’d like the story to be more about fun and intimacy then the steamy throws in the sheets. My favorite romantic thing ever is the show Hart of Dixie, just to give you a vague idea of what I like. I’m sorry this is super vague, I can’t wait to see what you guys recommend though! Happy Reading, --Morgan 2. Hi - Love the show. I am looking for small books - literally small for stocking stuffer size that are still good, interesting, fun. Also working with a broad group (i.e. varying political, religious positions) so not trying to start a battle or anything, but fun things - poetry, mindfulness, just delightful things to ponder? Appreciate any suggestions. Thanks! --Shannon 3. Time sensitive! “Get Booked” is one of my highlights every Thursday, so I’m reaching out! I need help with Christmas gifts. My boyfriend has read so many different things, that I can’t even begin. I’d like a few recommendations based on stuff he loves. Fiction: all time favorite is Matthew Stover’s series Heroes Die & Larry Correia’s Monster Hunter series. Nonfiction: he’s very into paranormal testimonies, David Sedaris, Henry Rollins, and anything about survival. He loves science fiction, ultra violence, and modern day conspiracy theories. I’m excited to see what you come up with because I’d be clueless unless I asked him! Thanks a lot! --Jessica 4. Hello Ladies! I am a huge fan of the podcast and tune in every week to your recommendations and witty comments! You are wonderful and make my work week brighter! I would consider myself a bookworm but definitely more like a tsunduko person. However I have gotten into the habit of reading short stories before bed since I tend to fall asleep in the middle of reading and it makes me less frustrated and guilty if I need to back track the next night. As the holiday season approaches, I am looking for a short story collection to help me get into the spirit, either about winter, snow, Christmas, or something along those lines. I read My True Love Gave to Me: Twelve Holiday Stories last year and loved it but having a hard time finding something this year. I love historical fiction, fantasy, YA, contemporary literature, and obviously short story collections. Not a huge fan of crime, thrillers, or horror. So anything that could help out this bookworm to get to sleep would be fantastic! Thank you in advance! Love you both! Sincerely, --Kaitlin 5. Hi there, Love your podcast and listen to it all the time. I'm trying to get a head start on my holiday shopping and I'm looking for a book suggestion for my mom. She's a pretty steady reader - has read most of the classics and is in an active book club so she often has read the currently popular books. She enjoyed the P.G Wodehouse series and loved Remains of the Day. Her very favourite book is Grapes of Wrath. Hoping to find something she is unfamiliar with that she can really dive into. She is a violence abuse counselor and often really heavy subject matter is hard for her to get through in her pleasure reading. Also no horror please. Thanks --Sarah 6. Time Sensitive (hopefully before Christmas): My husband is really hard to pick books for and I'm needing recommendations. He really likes coming of age stories and short stories that are connected together by the same characters. He really doesn't like books with extremely long chapters that don't have a good stopping point within them. Some examples of books he has loved are: The Road Cormac McCarthy, anything by David Sedaris or Davy Rothbart, Hillbilly Elegy by J. D. Vance, The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls, The Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini and Palo Alto by James Franco. --Sarah 7. Hi Amanda and Jenn- I am hoping you may be able to offer me a recommendation in time for the holiday gift buying season! A friend and I purchase a book for one another every Christmas. We usually pick something that we loved and thought the other person would love as well. This year, I thought you may be able to help! Here’s some info about my friend: She’s a 30 year old recent grad school graduate living in upstate NY. She works in the Human Services field and is originally from Puerto Rico. She loves Harry Potter. She usually reads YA or fantasy books, but she is really driven by stories that have characters you get to know well and fall in love with. I’m hoping to find her a book featuring a quirky underdog that wins out in the end despite facing life’s inevitable obstacles. It would be better if it didn’t feature sexual violence if possible. Love your podcast and looking forward to the recommendations!
