You've asked, you've waited, and now, we're finally delivering! Welcome to our two-part deep dive on the international best selling Romantasy novels A Court of Thorns and Roses and a Court of Mist and Fury by Sarah J Maas.  In this first, spoiler free episode, we touch on our initial reactions to the series, and think a bit about what romantasy is and why it's so appealing to so many readers. Plus, we're joined by some very special guests for these two episodes: our younger siblings!  They may claim to have been manipulated into coming on the show, but we're glad to have them both on for this discussion

Sorry for the delay on this episode folks - October and November have been a lot. But, without further ado, here's Last Night at the Telegraph Club, episode two! Joined once again by Dr. Kai Chen, we dive right into Last Night at the Telegraph Club spoilers, starting with our feelings on Kath and Lily's relationship and the high-key stress of classroom makeouts. From there, we consider the queer space of the Telegraph Club, Lily's complicated and not always likable bestie Shirley, and our thoughts on the admittedly fraught ending.

A wise person once said: "having fun is never hard when you've got your library card." To this precious adage, we'd like to add an additional locale for future fun consideration: the fictional Telegraph Club. In this month's feature, we decided to read Malinda Lo's phenomenal YA book Last Night at the Telegraph Club. We discuss the fantastic resources in the book (a bibliography! timelines!) along with the super-accurate-yet-still-deeply-compelling historical adventures of protagonist Lily Hu. While trying to dodge accusations of Communism, keep up her high math grades to participate in the space race, AND help a friend win Miss Chinatown, Lily catches feelings for her classmate Kath. Tune in to hear us discuss their romance at the Telegraph Club -- and to discover whether this Space Girl finds the one who can "know the galaxies of (her) heart."   Original air date: May 30, 2021

Lois Lowry has written more than 40 books. As of this month, she is also featured in half of our 2021 Patreon episodes. This is incidentally very close to the total number of surviving Shakers. Just in time for spring, we read Lowry's Like the Willow Tree, a Dear America journey for the ages. Based on meticulous research at the Sabbathday Lake Shaker community, this book features a young diarist named Lydia who loses her parents to the flu pandemic. Though the Shakers initially wreck her plans, Lydia eventually teach her how to bend to the wind. We discuss Shaker controversies, our varying levels of interest in intentional communities, and much more. Like to read along? You can support the Sabbathday Lake Shaker Village by purchasing Lowry's book here: https://www.maineshakers.com/product/like-the-willow-tree-by-lois-lowry/ . Our next book (May 2021) is Last Night at the Telegraph Club, a novel by Malinda Lo.   Original air date: April 21, 2021

In classic SLL fashion, I welcome you to another accidental two-part discussion. This time, we're joined by Dr. Kai Chen to discuss Malinda Lo's award-winning novel, Last Night at the Telegraph Club.

Members of the ton rejoice! Both halves of Bridgerton, season three have finally dropped. We had so many thoughts about this latest installment of the regency romance series that–just like Netflix–we split our conversation in two. In this first episode, we consider the season as a whole, break down Pen and Colin's long awaited transition from friends to lovers, and start to craft "Bridgerton, Season Three: the Corinne and Ayanni Cut." The second part of our conversation drops on Saturday, June 29th.

Send us a Text Message.This book floored both of us, so listen in to hear us dig in to the layers of historical context behind Last Night at the Telegraph Club, set during the Red and Lavender Scares in the United States. Lily and Kath have our hearts, but we unexpectedly find a lot of tenderness for some other characters as well. If you're looking for a game - count how many times Haylie says "for historical context" and how often Lauren brings up or quotes a pop star. Rejoin us next week for Part 2. If you are visiting the show notes from the episode looking for a link to the "Olivia" eye-kissing picture... well a lady never breaks a promise.The Open Book Instagram account: @theopenbook_simi

Lo's award-winning novel seeks to shine a light on marginalized experiences from mid-century San Francisco.

Have you ever wondered about the journey to bring a book to the world, and who's involved in the process? Have you ever thought about self-publishing a book or writing a book some day? On today's episode, we get an insider's perspective from literary agent and native New Yorker & Boricua, Linda Camacho, as she shares her story of breaking into the book publishing industry and enjoying stints at big names like Penguin Gorup, Simon & Schuster, and Random House. Linda brings a fresh perspective as a Latina literary agent who's stuck around in the industry for 18 years.  In this conversation we talk about:  How and why she had to accept very low pay and unpaid internships during the Great Recession (and how privilege played a role) How "harassing people for things" (aggressive networking) is the only way to break into this industry that is very elitist and fraught with nepotism  Who is actually making money in the book publishing world  The author's journey to getting paid and publishing a book (and how the pandemic made things more challenging!) How the "We Need Diverse Books" initiative has progressed since 2014  Why Linda moved into literary agenting, how literary agents get paid, and what's kept her in the industry so long! -- Linda's 2022 Young Adult Fiction Book Recommendation: Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo  FREE Personal Training Webinar Recording (1 hour) Interested in working with Priscilla 1:1?

Erica Gillingham is joined by a panel of leading international LGBTQ+ writers to discuss the growing popularity of queer fiction and the challenges posed by book bans. At a time when sales are increasing and LGBTQ+ authors are winning awards, in countries including the United States, Russia and Hungary, movements to remove books portraying queer characters are on the rise. The panel also explore the ways social media is influencing the kinds of LGBTQ+ stories being written, for example the way younger readers like to find books by certain story tropes, and also the importance of showing LGBTQ+ characters leading happy, fulfilled lives. Malinda Lo is the bestselling author of seven novels, including most recently A Scatter of Light. Her novel Last Night at the Telegraph Club won the United States' National Book Award, yet her work is banned in 25 school districts in half a dozen states. She explains how award-winning books can sometimes attract unwanted attention. Danny Ramadan is a Syrian-Canadian author and adovate for LGBTQ+ refugees. His debut novel, The Clothesline Swing, was shortlisted for the Lambda Literary Award, longlisted for Canada Reads, and named a Best Book of the Year by the Globe and Mail and Toronto Star. Danny explains the need for young people from minorities to access spaces where they can see themselves represented. Adiba Jaigirdar is the author of The Henna Wars, Hani & Ishu's Guide to Fake Dating and A Million to One. A Bangladeshi/Irish writer and former teacher, she has an MA in Postcolonial Studies from the University of Kent. She tells us about the important role older writers, particularly lesbian storytellers including Malinda Lo, played in inspiring her desire to write. Erica Gillingham is a a poet, writer and bookseller with a PhD in queer young adult literature. Her debut poetry pamphlet, The Human Body is a Hive, was published in March 2022. ​ Produced by Simon Richardson. (Photo: Adiba Jaigirdar, Erica Gillingham, Danny Ramadan and Malinda Lo.

We're back after a long hiatus, hurray! And Harper wrote a book while we were off the air: A Family Affair. It's available to buy direct now, or will be available on Amazon only (and in Kindle Unlimited) as of 17 August 2022 (for at least three months). This book was supposed to be more “women's fiction” but ended up “scandalous lesbian romance”.   We're seriously thinking of getting a dog and are looking for any tips for introducing a dog into a diva-cat household.   In television news, we're currently loving Better Things and Paper Girls. And we enjoyed the movie Fire Island so much!   Caroline's book recommendations are Yerba Buena by Nina LaCour and Last Night at the Telegraph Club by Malinda Lo.   Tune in again next time for a new episode of Harper Bliss & Her Mrs.  Get in touch with us with your questions, comments, or suggested topics at harperblissandhermrs@gmail.com.  Get some free books by subscribing to the Harper Bliss mailing list.

Welcome to the last episode without Emily! She'll be back to join the pod next week, everyone go shout her out for finishing that dissertation. Dr. Lazy Library!!! Anyway, today we're chatting about travel - preferred airplane seats, preferred airport arrival times. Let's just say that some of us seem like we'd travel well together, and some of us might cause some others… some stress. Then we get into some great books, including a humorous queer memoir, queer historical fiction, and an edge-of-your-seat exclusive club thriller. Thank you for listening!

Today before we get into books, we're talking weirdly specific colors. You never know what you're gonna get with this pod! Don't forget to join Emily's fan club book club coming up on April 3 at 8pm ET - she guarantees a playlist that will “bop,” so don't miss it. We've got second chance romances, messed up culty thrillers, delightful contemporary fantasy, and messy 20-something sagas in Seoul. Oh also, chime in in the comments if you think Becky's book gave her whole Vegas trip bad vibes. Thank you so much for listening! Grab your BATC merch here: https://www.booksandthecitypod.com/merch.
