Sonham constantemente em largar tudo e abrir uma livraria com café? Pois, nós também, e esta semana pudemos imaginar como seria esta Livraria do Livra-te. Como estaria decorada? A que livros daríamos destaque? Que eventos teríamos? O que serviríamos no café? Só nos faltou mesmo dizer que teríamos um gatinho na livraria chamado Zafón.
Depois de termos andado a jogar isto sempre da mesma forma, hoje invertemos as regras, graças a uma sugestão do nosso discord. O que têm a dizer os fãs de livros que odiámos e será que nos fazem mudar de ideias? Spoiler alert: não, mas deu um episódio muito divertido.

Can a writer ever meaningfully take a break? And what's it like to get the call saying you've been longlisted for the Booker Prize?Today on In Haste, writers Alice Vincent and Charlotte Runcie are joined by the novelist Sophie Mackintosh. Sophie is the Booker-longlisted author of The Water Cure, Blue Ticket, and Cursed Bread, and was named one of Granta's Best Young British Novelists of 2023.Sophie takes us behind the scenes into her writing process and life as an author, including discussing the myths and folk tales where she finds literary inspiration. Alice and Charlotte couldn't help but notice that Sophie is also a particularly well-travelled novelist, so they had to ask: do you write when you're on holiday? And does a writing brain ever really take time off?Each episode of In Haste is accompanied by an original essay on Substack by Alice Vincent or Charlotte Runcie exploring its wider themes. New episodes are released weekly, but paid subscribers can access more episodes instantly at inhaste.substack.com, where there's a very welcoming literary community sharing our writing progress. Come and join in with the conversation! Ask us questions and tell us what stopped you writing this week - and what kept you going.In Haste is produced by Holly Fisher for Hasty Productions, with original music by Maria Chiara Argiró and graphic design by Alicia Fernandes.

Based on the true story of an unsolved mystery, Sophie Mackintosh's new novel, Cursed Bread (Hamish Hamilton), centres on a small village community upturned by the arrival of a glamourous couple. Jo Hamya calls the book‘sensuous and haunted, like Madame Bovary reworked as a ghost story'. Mackintosh was in conversation with Rebecca Watson, author of Little Scratch (Faber). Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.
The Welsh novelist's debut, ‘The Water Cure', a feminist dystopia, received critical acclaim and was longlisted for the Booker Prize. Sophie sat down with Georgina Godwin to discuss how speaking Welsh has influenced her writing, writing her first stories as a child on her grandad's computer and her latest novel ‘Cursed Bread', a darkly sexual story about power and desire.See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Is choice necessary for happiness? How much of dystopia is truth? How many cups of Baileys coffee in a day is too many cups? Why doesn't Paul Rudd age? All this talk of the pandemic never ending really got Camilla and Elle in the mood to talk about Dystopian fiction. The girls discuss end of the world coping strategies, consuming any and all available Paul Rudd content and the feeling of hearing the perfect song. Camilla waxes lyrical about Sophie Mackintosh's writing in Blue Ticket and The Water Cure , Elle deep dives on Huxley's Brave New World and of course, they couldn't get through an episode on dystopia without a little Atwood. Camilla wraps the whole thing up with a terrible, terrible attempt at a ukulele solo.
Man Booker winning author DBC Pierre and Booker Prize long listed author Sophie Mackintosh join Joe Haddow to talk about writing nocturnally, big tech, social media, maternal instincts, talking about death and how our hoovers might be feeding data to companies we don't know about. In the Book Off, Henri Charriere's "Papillon" is put up against "All My Puny Sorrows" by Mirian Toewes, but which book will win? See acast.com/privacy for privacy and opt-out information.
Amanda and Jenn discuss character-driven sci-fi, non-Western fantasy, escapist reads, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked.

Feedback Stepping Stone by Karin Kallmaker Strawberry Summer by Melissa Brayden Too Close to Touch by Georgia Beers Just Jorie by Robin Alexander (rec’d by Wynnde) Cinderella is Dead by Kalynn Baron (rec’d by Lauren) Questions 1. So I’m a major fan of character-driven, realistic fiction and have lived in this bubble for years, but recently I read Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and absolutely loved! It made me want to step more into the world of sci-fi/dystopian/adventure novels. But I do say that hesitantly. I think I loved Never Let Me Go because it was still very character-driven, the character development and relationships between characters definitely weren’t lost amid the plot. Character evolvement is my favorite part of reading, and I sometimes feel more plot heavy novels lack this quality. So I’m looking for a novel that is either in the futuristic, sci-fi, dystopian or adventure realm but still has rich characters. I enjoy coming-of-age stories (late teens to mid-twenties) but am trying to step away from YA and more into literary coming-of-age. I also usually love when books have a little dabble of romance. Good luck! -Emily 2. Hello! I’ve been really enjoying fantasy/magicy books set in non western Europe settings like the Daevabad trilogy, Spinning Silver, The Bone Witch series and the Six of Crows duology. I have a good tbr list for Black fantasy but I would love some recommendations for that type of thing from Indigenous American and/or Latinx writers and worlds. I’ve already read Nocturna by Maya Motayne. I like YA as long as the characters are complex and mature (please no unnecessary internal drama). I really don’t like books where the dialogue or humor feel really cliche. I particularly like when the character’s friendships are fleshed out and there are lots of cute fluffy moments in between the action. Other fantasy I like include, The Night Circus, Graceling, A Court of Thorns and Roses and The Priory of the Orange Tree. If it is on Libro.FM that is a plus! -Margot 3. Hello! My local Children’s book store, Woozles, runs a YA for Adults book club. We have decided that at least half of the books we read each year will be by BIPOC authors. We have always made a point of reading diversely but after we realized we had read a string of books by white authors we decided we needed to do better. One of the recent books we read and really enjoyed was Slay by Brittney Morris. There are many lists available that feature black authors but I would love a few suggestions for books that are by indigenous authors. We are a Canadian group so bonus points if the books are Canadian. (The group already read The Marrow Thieves back in 2018 so that one is out) Thanks for your help! -Sarah 4. Hello Jenn and Amanda! I am in a reading rut and need your help. The stress of 2020 has made me so anxious that I can’t focus on anything new and have just been re-reading old favorites. I would like to find a new book to read that will be NON-STRESSFUL and will be a fun escapist read. I am a huge fan of romance, YA, and fantasy. I would really really like to try some sci-fi but I worry that I will not be able to keep up with too much techy stuff or complex world-building will be too hard for me to keep up since I only really read when I’m awake at night nursing my baby. I did read Nightchaser by Amanda Bouchet and enjoyed it and that was easy enough to read and keep up with. So, what non-stressful romance/ YA/ fantasy/sci-fi books can you suggest? -Thanks! Marelis 5. I have discovered this year a love of romance novels, mostly historical. However, I’d like to dip my toes in a little further into the genre and read more, especially contemporary romance. I’ve read a lot of Julia Quinn and Tessa Dare. I’m okay with some sexy times but not too much. -Lauren 6. Last year you recommended to me “Into the Drowning Deep” by Mira Grant and I was OBSESSED with it. I realized that I don’t read much fantasy anymore, but given the current times, I am desperately in need of a different world to dive into. I’m looking for adult fantasy where the setting is a strong character in the book. In addition to Mira Grant’s book, I’ve also enjoyed Circe by Madeline Miller and The Bear and the Nightingale by Katherine Arden. Besides other books by those authors, do you have any recommendations? -Morgan 7. Hello lovely ladies! Is it too much to ask for a double recommendation?? My younger sister just finished reading the Anna and the French Kiss series and won’t stop complaining about how there is no more to read! She has a little hole in her heart after this series but can’t seem to find another swoon worthy YA romance to fill that hole. She has read all the John Green romances as well as her favorite author, Nicola Yoon. She wants a cute romance that will make you squeal, extra points for a book with heartwarming side characters and an interesting setting. Ok here we go with the second question, if you can only do one then please recommend a book for my sister, maybe she’ll stop nagging me about it. I’ve recently found myself watching… No binge watching Jane the Virgin on Netflix. My love for this show is beyond words, because I connect so much with the main character and love the dramatic, romantic plots. Since its summer and im not in school, Im looking for a book of this manner to fill my heart. Like Jane, I’m a Catholic Latina girl who loves to write and adores romance. I would like to read a book that touches on abstinence and Catholicism, along with it’s struggles, while also encapsulating me in a swoonworthy romance. Hope that’s not too much to ask!

My guest this week is Sophie Mackintosh, whose debut novel The Water Cure was the subject of a seven-way bidding war. Telling the story of three sisters whose parents have brought them up on an isolated island to inoculate them from the dangers presented by men and a toxic world, it won rave reviews, was longlisted for The Booker Prize, and has recently come out in paperback. I LOVED talking to Sophie - we talk about how growing up speaking Welsh made her a better writer, how she wrote The Water Cure around her marketing job, why female anger is a force for good - and so much more.

First Draft interview with Sophie Mackintosh, author of The Water Cure.
We love speculative fiction: books exploring prospective future worlds in realistic styles have enduring popularity in bestseller lists and critics’ hearts. But why are we so drawn to it? What does speculative fiction help us come to terms with? What can it tell us about ourselves – and do we really want to know? Sophie Mackintosh suggests answers to these questions, complete with a reading of her Booker-longlisted novel The Water Cure.
A family isolates themselves on an island to protect their daughters from the toxicity of the wider world—until their father disappears and strange men and a boy wash up on the shore. This atmospheric dystopian fable is told through alternating perspectives of the three daughters. The eldest, Grace, is narrated in a cool, flinty voice by Morfydd Clark, which contrasts with the enthusiasm and longing Gemma Whelan imbues into Lia’s voice. Hannah Murray narrates chapters that tell the story of all three sisters. The poetic language and quick chapters will draw listeners in, as will the mysteries of the outside world and the cruel “therapies” performed on the girls by their parents.
