Welcome to Autumn-ish Book Club! In this flash analysis series, we take an academic approach to some of the most talked-about books in Romantasy and fantasy today. With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible. In this episode, we're discussing A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya. We explore how this YA fantasy is masterfully crafted, offering a rich and authentic representation of Mexican culture, and why it's so refreshing to have a standalone story that delivers a complete, satisfying ending. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A. Parker Where the Shadows Meet by Patrice Caldwell Blood of Hercules by Jasmin Mas Blood Over Bright Haven by M.L. Wang Red Queen by Victoria Aveyard The Jasad Heir by Sara Hashem And when book club wraps up, get ready! Our next full literary analysis will dive into Heir of Fire by Sarah J. Maas. If you're new here, we also have full seasons analyzing A Court of Thorns and Roses, A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, A Court of Frost and Starlight, House of Earth and Blood, House of Sky and Breath, Throne of Glass, and Crown of Midnight. Go back and check those out to see how we break down metaphors, symbolism, narrative structure, and character arcs through multiple literary lenses. Plus, we're thrilled to announce our newest venture: The Subtext Society Journal—the first of its kind, dedicated to Romance, Romantasy, and fandom with an academic yet accessible voice. We're publishing original essays and thought pieces, and we encourage listeners to submit their own articles for a chance to be featured. If you love Sarah J.

Send us a textToday we continue on with our newest miniseries covering the Anne of Green Gables 8-book collection by L.M. Montgomery. We're officially into Anne's adult years, and we're here to bring you the answer to the question we've all been wondering since we started this journey… is it worth reading past book 3?In this episode we dive into books five and six: Anne's House of Dreams and Anne of Ingleside - we've moved  past the well-known initial trilogy into Anne's life as an adult, and the tone has definitely shifted. What do we think about the differences, and how do we currently feel about the focus slowly shifting away from Anne and to other characters, including her children? Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think Anne helped pave the way for our favorite FMCs of today? And what literary devices does Montgomery use to critique women's roles in society? Check out our kickoff episode all about what the Bildungsroman is, why women and girl's stories are so important for everyone to read, and how Montgomery expertly uses this book series to critique social and political issues of the early 1900's, with an emphasis on women's roles in society. We also provide a bit of context by discussing Montgomery's life, and the political climate in Canada when this story takes place. Coming of age tales can be so much more than simple children's books. We're here to discover why!

With over 13 years of combined academic literary training, we bring a critical lens to fandom favorites while keeping the discussion fun, thought-provoking, and accessible.

This is part 2 of this week's episode. This season, we'll be covering: The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins A Cruel Thirst by Angela Montoya When the Moon Hatched by Sarah A.

After a brief diversion into talking about the upcoming Wedding of the Century, the Junkies convene the Pop Culture Junkie Book Club for a discussion of the book genre reshaping the publishing business: Romantasy. This genre blends Romance and Fantasy and certainly isn't new; the Twilight series came out in the 90s and the genre reaches back even further than that. But it is undeniably hot now: Romantasy titles account for nearly half of total fiction sales. Olivia and Shauna discuss some of the most popular Romantasy works, like A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas and Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros, and discuss how Greek and Norse mythology inform the genre, as well as its variations, tropes and archetypes. Finally, the Junkies give their recommendations to start you on your journey into the realms of fantasy romance. You can watch the Pop Culture Junkie Podcast on YouTube!

Send us a textToday we're doing the impossible task of ranking every book in the entire Sarah J. MAAS averse, including Throne of Glass, A Court of Thorns and Roses, Crescent City, and the lesser known standalone book and DC collaboration, Catwoman. That's SEVENTEEN books that are all 4+ stars that we pick apart with a fine-toothed comb to come up with one winner, and unfortunately, one at the bottom of the barrel. What's fun about this episode is that it's full of SJM spoilers and possible connections, if you've read them all and you're just here for the tea. It's also interesting to see how much our rankings have possibly changed over the years, and after doing rereads, buddy reads, and multiple podcast conversations. Our choices might just surprise you! Listen on to find out our official (current) Sarah j Maas book ranking, and our defense of our choices. Let us know if you agree or disagree with our criteria and ratings, and defend your case!

Featuring: Ammosart, Ashgar, Belghast, Grace, Kodra, Tamrielo, and Thalen   Hey Folks! Happy Labor Day holiday weekend for our fellow countryfolk. We start off this show with Thalen making a reference to a dream that Bel had… which forces a recounting of the madness.  From there, we talk about Last Epoch and a completely silly build that Bel is playing, where things explode around him without doing anything.  Grace also talks a bit about their similarly silly single minion build that just melts most things.  Bel talks a bit about YoloMouse and how it solves the problem of not being able to find your cursor on screen.  From there, Tam talks a bit about PEAK, which is a new popular multiplayer frustration adjacent experience. Bel talks a bit about the launch of the Third Edict league in Path of Exile II and how it seems like none of the streamers are actually having fun… and he most definitely was not.  We close out the show with some discussion about some of the recent updates to Star Citizen and how it continues to shape up to actually being a game.   Topics Discussed: The Beefists Last Epoch Fun with Thorns and Aboms YoloMouse PEAK Path of Exile II Third Edict frustrations Star Citizen 2025 updates

The LORD's vineyard Israel continues to produce only idolatrous fruit. When He promises that He will bring His judgment, Israel still refuses to turn to Him. Instead, they mourn for their worthless idol as it is carried off into exile. Because the people have refused to dwell with the LORD in His presence, He gives them only the thorns and thistles that grow east of Eden. Even now, the LORD still calls His people to seek Him in repentance, and He promises His blessing. The fact that Israel only continues in their impenitence makes God's grace to them—and to us—all the more astounding. Rev. Zelwyn Heide, pastor at St. Peter Lutheran Church in Hanover, ND and Zion Lutheran Church in New Salem, ND, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Hosea 10:1-15. To learn more about St. Peter and Zion Lutheran churches, visit stpeterzion.org.  “Majoring in the Minors” is a mini-series on Sharper Iron that goes through the books of Hosea, Joel, Jonah, Micah, and Nahum. Although the books of these prophets are shorter, the Word of God they preached was important in the years leading up to the coming of the Christ, and that Word remains important for the Church today. Just as we still need to listen to their call to repentance over our idolatry, so we still need to heed their call to trust in the Savior, Jesus.  Sharper Iron, hosted by Rev. Timothy Appel, looks at the text of Holy Scripture both in its broad context and its narrow detail, all for the sake of proclaiming Christ crucified and risen for sinners. Two pastors engage with God's Word to sharpen not only their own faith and knowledge, but the faith and knowledge of all who listen. Submit comments or questions to: listener@kfuo.org

Send us a textToday we continue on with our newest miniseries covering the Anne of Green Gables 8-book collection by L.M. Montgomery. We're diving into classic literature like we've never done before to give you the 411 on beloved “children's” books that we KNOW are actually for everyone! In this episode we dive into books three and four: Anne of The Island, and Anne of Windy Poplars - we're officially moving past the well-known initial trilogy into Anne's life as an adult, and the tone has definitely shifted. What do we think about the differences, and how do we currently feel about book four? Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think Anne helped pave the way for our favorite FMCs of today? And what literary devices does Montgomery use to critique women's roles in society? Check out our kickoff episode all about what the Bildungsroman is, why women and girl's stories are so important for everyone to read, and how Montgomery expertly uses this book series to critique social and political issues of the early 1900's, with an emphasis on women's roles in society.

As I conclude this season, I review the content of each one of our episodes, which describes the wide arc of our quest for the Green Man, which despite having taken us far and wide, ended up by bringing me to a powerful realization which I voiced last week: Only LOVE can defeat evil, malice, cruelty and unrestrained egos whose thirst for power is unquenchable. In my grand daughter's eyes, I have seen hope, and I firmly believe that these new earthlings constitute the new, emergent face of the Green Humans that will build a radically different, nature-centric future. I also explore a personal reflection, hoping to deepen our understanding and conclude: Perhaps this is the greening of the soul I have been trying to summon, one with deeper consequences than an environmental awareness and a return to nature, it implies an atonement and wholeness of spirit that has the power to rekindle our humanity.

EDITOR'S NOTE: Due to an error with the recording software, only half of the session was able to be heard. So, we asked one of the players to narrate a session rundown, as to not leave the chronicle unfinished at the break.Jeremy: Storyteller; L: Veronica Parsons (Clan Malkavian); Lilth: Alleyne Judith Cavendish-Fitzherbert (Clan Toreador); Zaghrog: Valentin Lindeman (Clan Tremere); korvys: Gabriel Easton (Clan Brujah); -----Thanks to all of our supporters at patreon.com/fsfilms for making this possible!Especially our $25+ Donors:Drevian AlexanderL ★ Support this podcast on Patreon ★

We're diving into classic literature like we've never done before to give you the 411 on beloved “children's” books that we KNOW are actually for everyone! Check out our latest Tuesday full length episode all about what the Bildungsroman is, why women and girl's stories are so important for everyone to read, and how Montgomery expertly uses this book series to critique social and political issues of the early 1900's, with an emphasis on women's roles in society. We also provide a bit of context by discussing Montgomery's life, and the political climate in Canada when this story takes place. In this episode we dive into books one and two: Anne of Green Gables, and Anne of Avonlea in which we experience adolescence through Anne Shirley's eyes. Who were our favorite and least favorite characters and plot points? Do we think Anne helped pave the way for our favorite FMCs of today? And what literary devices does Montgomery use to critique women's roles in society? Coming of age tales can be so much more than simple children's books. We're here to discover why! Listen on for our reviews of books one and two, our deep dive reactions, and fun facts about this timeless classic! Don't be shy, subscribe! New Podcasts every Tuesday!!

1 A good name is more desirable than great riches, and loving favor is better than silver and gold. 2 The rich and the poor have this in common: Yahweh is the maker of them all. 3 A prudent man sees danger and hides himself; but the simple pass on, and suffer for it. 4 The result of humility and the fear of Yahweh is wealth, honor, and life. 5 Thorns and snares are in the path of the wicked; whoever guards his soul stays from them. 6 Train up a child in the way he should go, and when he is old he will not depart from it. 7 The rich rule over the poor. The borrower is servant to the lender. 8 He who sows wickedness reaps trouble, and the rod of his fury will be destroyed. 9 He who has a generous eye will be blessed, for he shares his food with the poor. 10 Drive out the mocker, and strife will go out; yes, quarrels and insults will stop. 11 He who loves purity of heart and speaks gracefully is the king's friend. 12 Yahweh's eyes watch over knowledge, but he frustrates the words of the unfaithful. 13 The sluggard says, "There is a lion outside! I will be killed in the streets!" 14 The mouth of an adulteress is a deep pit. He who is under Yahweh's wrath will fall into it. 15 Folly is bound up in the heart of a child; the rod of discipline drives it far from him. 16 Whoever oppresses the poor for his own increase and whoever gives to the rich, both come to poverty. 17 Turn your ear, and listen to the words of the wise. Apply your heart to my teaching. 18 For it is a pleasant thing if you keep them within you, if all of them are ready on your lips. 19 I teach you today, even you, so that your trust may be in Yahweh. 20 Haven't I written to you thirty excellent things of counsel and knowledge, 21 To teach you truth, reliable words, to give sound answers to the ones who sent you? 22 Don't exploit the poor because he is poor; and don't crush the needy in court; 23 for Yahweh will plead their case, and plunder the life of those who plunder them. 24 Don't befriend a hot-tempered man. Don't associate with one who harbors anger, 25 lest you learn his ways and ensnare your soul. 26 Don't you be one of those who strike hands, of those who are collateral for debts. 27 If you don't have means to pay, why should he take away your bed from under you? 28 Don't move the ancient boundary stone which your fathers have set up. 29 Do you see a man skilled in his work? He will serve kings. He won't serve obscure men. Listen Donate Subscribe: Proverbs Daily Podcast Psalms Daily Podcast

This involves talking about the ‘Roses' which are the positive things that happened that day and the ‘Thorns' which are the things that made you sad or were negative from your day.Take a moment to listen along and try a new coping skill.And remember, do not forget about yourself, take a few minutes for you and have a little fun!—About The Host - Janine HalloranJanine Halloran is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor, an author, a speaker, an entrepreneur and a mom.

“The Path of Rocks & Thorns: From Prison to Purpose” Guest: Doug Smith August 19 • 7 PM ESTDescription: Join Miss Liz for a powerful and redemptive conversation with Doug Smith, a remarkable voice of transformation who walks us through The Path of Rocks & Thorns—his real-life journey through incarceration, pain, and ultimately, healing. Doug's story is more than survival—it's about reform, second chances, and the power of believing in humanity again. Drawing from his lived experiences, Doug now uses his voice to empower lives, reform justice, and inspire hope for others impacted by trauma, systems, and cycles of despair. This episode dives deep into what it means to reclaim your worth, advocate for justice, and rise beyond the labels society places upon us. From cell walls to community calls, Doug is proof that no story is ever too broken to be rewritten. Don't miss this profound conversation—because sometimes the path with the most thorns leads to the most beautiful awakening.#GoldenHeartTeatime #PrisonToPurpose #PathOfRocksAndThorns #DougSmith #SecondChances #JusticeReform #VoicesOfChange #HealingThroughStories #ResilienceAndRedemption #BreakingTheCycle #TransformationJourney #HumanityFirst #RiseBeyondLabels #TeatimeWithMissLiz

In this week's episode, Claire takes a deeper look at the Portland Thorns after their expectation re-setting win over Seattle. She talks through why on their best day the Thorns could be a serious postseason contender, why they still need to raise their floor, and why it matters that one of the founding clubs of the NWSL finds their way.

The Rosé + Thorns podcast is BACK with a brand new look, feel, and flair! On this episode, Dr. P. Ryan reconnects with the listening audience and introduces his new cohost, Dr. Shun. The two then discuss their hopes and apprehensions for the show. You're welcome.

It hasn't been long since our last episode, but SO much has happened. North Carolina has parted ways with Sean Nahas after 4 years as head coach, but we're not totally sure why. Jordan & David break it down while discussing Chicago's 4th interim but new permanent head coaching hire. On the field the Thorns showed their threat in a huge 4-2 win over rivals Seattle this past weekend, and we prepare for a matchup of 1 vs 2 in KC on Saturday.6:00 Sean Nahas Fired From NC Courage23:30 Chicago Hire New Head Coach Sort Of27:40 Weekend Action Recap36:20 Portland Shine & Coffey's MVP Campaign41:47 Orlando-KC Preview53:00 Ally Watt 1st Summit FC Signing55:25 Celebrating Colorado Soccer

Thorns and leeches made the journey more painful. Knees and ankles begged for mercy. We were tired. It had been more than 20 hours since we left Kamantian. Fatigue discouraged us, but the urgency restored our determination as a life was at risk.                                                                ----------------Today's story is told by Andre Rodrigues, a former student missionary at the Palawano Project of the Philippines. Subscribe and leave us a review if you enjoyed listening to today's story!

mirror characters — like Tamlin and Rhysand from Sarah J. Maas' A Court of Thorns and Roses — reveal the most intimate truths about how we love, justify, forgive, and evolve.A heartfelt thank-you to @katrynn for the innovative and emotionally charged question sent via Cameo — which inspired this entire exploration of how we experience fictional love as a mirrorThrough the lens of emotional psychology, myth, and narrative healing, this episode unpacks: Why we romanticize the complicated “book boyfriend”. How love becomes control and when control becomes violence. The difference between soul-led love and ego-driven protection. Why Rhysand is forgiven for what Tamlin is condemned for. How fictional characters reflect the shadow sides of real relationships.A Court of Thorns and Roses by Sarah J. Maas Think Like a Monk by Jay Shetty The Body Keeps the Score by Bessel van der Kolk Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.

Annie, Ella & André recap a dramatic, emotional, joyful, better-than-Disney match at Audi in which the Washington Spirit beat Portland Thorns, 2-1.The score is only a fraction of the story. A dominant first half somehow resulted in a 1-1 scoreline at halftime. Then, a tricky second half was lifted by the return of Trinity Rodman. Naturally, she scored the match winner with a thunderbolt of a volley. Audi levitated, Trinity cried, just about everyone at Audi cried. We recap it all!Thank you for listening, please subscribe, rate, and review. It means a lot to us!
