Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn't play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone's business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he's been emailing, will be compromised. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon's junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he's pushed out -- without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he's never met.

Rood, wit & koningsblauw van Casey McQuiston, met Pauline Salet Hot girl/person summer valt dit jaar een een beetje in het water, maar no worries: Radio Savannah got you! Luister terug naar onze valentijnsaflevering Rood, wit en koningsblauw van Casey McQuiston. Samen met special guest Pauline Salet kletsen we over happily-ever-afters, diversiteit in het romantische genre, en waarom romcoms lezen zo lekker kan zijn. Deze heerlijke romcom gaat over Alex, zoon van de Amerikaanse president, en Henry, Britse prins. Meteen zodra zijn moeder wordt verkozen tot president, wordt Alex Claremont-Diaz gebombardeerd tot Amerikaanse royalty: hij is knap, charismatisch en nog intelligent ook. Het publiek vreet hem op. Eén probleempje: Alex ligt in de clinch met een échte prins, Henry, aan de andere kant van de grote plas. En als de tabloids daar lucht van krijgen, worden Alex en Henry gedwongen om te doen alsof ze het goed hebben gemaakt. Maar wat begint als een nepvriendschap, groeit uit tot iets diepers en veel gevaarlijkers. Kan liefde de wereld redden? Ook als die liefde er anders uitziet dan verwacht? Casey McQuiston sleept je met 'Rood, wit en koningsblauw' mee in een verhaal vol humor en liefde. Vind het boek hier in onze webshop. Savannahs queer liefdesverhalen, goede afloop niet gegarandeerd maar alsnog prachtig Charlie, a highly-strung, openly gay over-thinker, and Nick, a cheerful, soft-hearted rugby player, meet at a British all-boys grammar school. Friendship blooms quickly, but could there be something more...? Charlie Spring is in Year 10 at Truham Grammar School for Boys. The past year hasn't been too great, but at least he's not being bullied anymore. Nick Nelson is in Year 11 and on the school rugby team. He's heard a little about Charlie - the kid who was outed last year and bullied for a few months - but he's never had the opportunity to talk to him. They quickly become friends, and soon Charlie is falling hard for Nick, even though he doesn't think he has a chance. But love works in surprising ways, and sometimes good things are waiting just around the corner... Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Leah Burke is drummer in een girlband, koningin van de droge humor, de beste vriendin van Simon Spier en vreselijk onzeker. Nu het laatste jaar op haar middelbare school ten einde loopt, maakt ze zich niet alleen druk om haar - vindt ze zelf - middelmatige tekeningen, maar ook om: Haar vriendengroep die uit elkaar begint te vallen; Het feit dat ze biseksueel is, en dat ze dat aan niemand durft te vertellen; Haar hopeloze verliefdheid op een goede vriendin, die al een vriend heeft. En alsof dat nog niet genoeg is, komt de prom steeds dichterbij, en het moment waarop Leah en haar vrienden allemaal naar verschillende universiteiten gaan ook. Leah probeert op alle mogelijke manieren iedereen bij elkaar te houden, maar ze zal misschien meer voor zichzelf moeten kiezen - en voor de liefde. Vind het boek hier in de webshop. Noem me bij jouw naam van André Aciman (Call Me By Your Name). Over een vriendschap tussen Elio en de Amerikaanse Oliver, die als zomergast bij Elio's ouders aan de Italiaanse kust verblijft. Noem me bij jouw naam is het verhaal van een gepassioneerde vriendschap tussen Elio, een muzikale en erudiete jongen, en de Amerikaanse intellectueel Oliver, die als zomergast bij Elio's ouders aan de Italiaanse kust verblijft. Aanvankelijk veinzen ze onverschilligheid jegens elkaar, maar wat er werkelijk sluimert is onweerstaanbare aantrekkingskracht. Het aftasten begint. Vanuit het diepst van hun wezen bloeit iets op dat hen voor het leven zal tekenen. Want wat zij ontdekken is volledige herkenning en overgave. Vind het boek hier in de webshop.

Book Vs Movie (Replay) “Love, Simon” The 2015 novel Vs the 2018 movie The Margos are back in high school with this super-charming story of a teenager, Simon Spier, who is hiding a big secret from his friends and family.  Well, except for one person whom he emails daily but has no idea who he is as they use fake names to communicate. You see, Simon (who identifies as “Jacques” in his emails with “Blue”) is gay and struggling with his growing sexual interest. Simon is loved by his parents and friends and feels mostly safe in his Atlanta-adjacent home but he still worries about being bullied in high school by not well-meaning jocks and bullies. Plus, he worries about disappointing his parents (though they come across as being very open-minded in both the novel and film.) In fact, everything seems to be going well for Simon until fellow student Martin finds out his secret and blackmails him into setting him up with Abby (who is the first person Simon comes out to and that causes a problem with his best friend Leah. Lots of “friend” drama here!) The book (titled Simon Vs the Homo Sapiens Agenda) debuted in 2015 by first-time novelist Becky Albertalli who spent years working as a clinical psychologist working mainly with teenagers. It was a big hit upon its release and was soon sold to be adapted into the film. In this show, we discuss the differences between book and movie, and there are several to dive into here. Which version did the Margos like better? Check out the link below to find out!   We are sponsored by Penguin Books in this ep! Natalie C. Parker, author of the Beware the Wild duology offers her own feminist take on an adventure with Seafire, which follows Caledonia Styx, the captain of an all-female ship, on her quest to save her brother and take down a vicious warlord’s powerful fleet. This is the first book in a trilogy about Caledonia whose family was killed by warlord Aric Athair and his bloodthirsty army of Bullets. She captains the ship Mors Navis with a crew of women and girls like her who lost their homes and families because of Aric and his men. Parker is a lifelong fan of SciFi but has always felt a frustration with the lack of strong female characters in her favorite books.

He hasn't told his family or friends that he's gay, and he doesn't know the identity of the anonymous classmate that he's fallen for online. Resolving both issues proves hilarious, terrifying and life-changing."

This week we saw a double feature of Love, Simon and A Wrinkle in Time. Do you like to read the book first? Have you ever watched the movie and then read the book? Well that’s what we did for this episode.----more---- Simon vs The Homo Sapiens Agenda Sixteen-year-old and not-so-openly gay Simon Spier prefers to save his drama for the school musical. But when an email falls into the wrong hands, his secret is at risk of being thrust into the spotlight. Now Simon is actually being blackmailed: if he doesn’t play wingman for class clown Martin, his sexual identity will become everyone’s business. Worse, the privacy of Blue, the pen name of the boy he’s been emailing, will be compromised. With some messy dynamics emerging in his once tight-knit group of friends, and his email correspondence with Blue growing more flirtatious every day, Simon’s junior year has suddenly gotten all kinds of complicated. Now, change-averse Simon has to find a way to step out of his comfort zone before he’s pushed out—without alienating his friends, compromising himself, or fumbling a shot at happiness with the most confusing, adorable guy he’s never met. A Wrinkle in Time It was a dark and stormy night; Meg Murry, her small brother Charles Wallace, and her mother had come down to the kitchen for a midnight snack when they were upset by the arrival of a most disturbing stranger. “Wild nights are my glory,” the unearthly stranger told them. “I just got caught in a downdraft and blown off course. Let me be on my way. Speaking of way, by the way, there is such a thing as a tesseract”. Meg’s father had been experimenting with this fifth dimension of time travel when he mysteriously disappeared. Now the time has come for Meg, her friend Calvin, and Charles Wallace to rescue him. But can they outwit the forces of evil they will encounter on their heart-stopping journey through space?   BUY LINKS Simon VS The Homo Sapiens AgendaAmazon . B&N .
