For this episode we delved into the issue of Asian representation in the Harry Potter series with two incredible guests: Eugenia Hu and kiran nigam! Join us for an incredible conversation about JKR's White Woman Bullshit and the myriad ways it shows up in the writing of Cho Chang, Padma Patil, Parvati Patil, Nagini, and Mohoutokoro School of Magic; as well as discussions about all the missed opportunities to explore the connections between IRL Asian magical practices and magic in the HP world; the insatiable curiosity of the fandom and the ways that JKR has let us down; and of course, the failure of the allegory of wizard supremacy as a stand-in for racism.

دوستان و همراهان عزیز سلام من زهره هاشمی هستم و شما 104 اپیزود قاصدک شنو را که در نیمه اسفند ماه 1399 منتشر می شود می شنوید. در این اپیزود به معرفی و نقد رمان دایی جان ناپلئون می پردازم. قرار بود این اپیزود اخرین قسمت فصل پنجم باشد، اما نیست چون حیفم آمد که از پزشکزاد به خواندن تنها یک اثر او اکتفا کنم بنابراین تصمیم گرفتم که اثر دیگری از این طنزپرداز معاصر رو که به زعم خودش بهترین اثرش است با عنوان ادب مرد به ز دولت او ست رو هم براتون روایت کنم. در تهیه مطالب این اپیزود بیشتر از مصاحبه‌های پزشکزاد و داستان‌واره‌ای با عنوان من و دایی جانم که در مجموعه طنزهای سیاسی و اجتماعی کوتاهی به نام گلگشت خاطرات در 1386 منتشر شده استفاده کردم .همچنین از مقاله اینترنتی زندگینامه ایرج پزشکزاد نوشته محمدرضا تیموری. لینک منابع : - گفت و گوی با ایرج پزشکزاد خالق رمان دائی جان ناپلئون: https://youtu.be/dy3uy2cpNDk - نخستین مصاحبه تلویزیونی ایرج پزشکزاد بعد از انقلاب https://youtu.be/id4xgUv5J64 - مروری بر زندگینامه ایرج پزشکزاد https://mohamadrezateimouri.com/iraj-pezeshkzad/ موسیقی های استفاده شده به ترتیب Valley of the Thousand Lanterns by Ahmad Pejman mahiha ashegh mishavand by Ali Samadpour Dawn by Ahmad Pejman Wanderer by Ahmad Pejman منتظر نظرات و پیشنهادهای شما دوستان هستم. برای ارتباط با من و دیدن فیلم و عکسهای نویسندگان مراجعه کنید به : کانال تلگرام: https://t.me/Ghasedaksheno . آدرس ایمیل: ghasedaksheno@gmail.com اینستاگرام: https://instagram.com/ghasedaksheno

Preferably fiction and/or fun/uplifting Meet Cute: Some People Are Destined to Meet; Tales from the Inner City by Shaun Tan; Take the Mic edited by Bethany C. Morrow; Snow in Love; Hope Nation edited by Rose Brock; The Radical Element edited by Jessica Spotswood. A gift for my brother who isn’t a big reader. He’s in college, loves soccer and video games, and hasn’t enjoyed a book since reading Holes in middle school. Don’t Read the Comments by Eric Smith; Slay by Brittany Morris; The Pros of Cons by Alison Cherry; Booked by Kwame Alexander; Furia by Yamile Saied Mendez; Warcross by Marie Lu; Feed by MT Anderson. New, contemporary, socially conscious, diverse. Yes No Maybe So by Aisha Saeed and Becky Albertalli; The Voting Booth by Brandy Colbert; Punching the Air by Ibi Zoboi and Yusuf Salaam; Running by Natalia Sylvester; We Didn’t Ask For This by Adi Alsaid; Dear Justyce by Nic Stone. Diverse body positive books. What I Like About Me by Jenna Guillaume; Melt My Heart by Bethany Rutter; My Eyes Are Up Here by Laura Zimmermann; Gabi, a Girl in Pieces by Isabel Quintero; If It Makes You Happy by Claire Kann; Body Talk: 37 Voices Explore Our Radical Anatomy edited by Kelly Jensen. YA dealing with survivors of sexual abuse/pedophilia/other childhood trauma: some of my favorites that I’ve read are Sadie, Girl in Pieces, Suicide Notes from Beautiful Girls, Perks of Being a Wallflower and Speak. Grown by Tiffany D. Jackson; Blood Water Paint by Joy McCullough; The Way I Used to Be by Amber Smith; Charm & Strange by Stephanie Kuehn; How Dare the Sun Rise by Sandra Uwiringyimana; Wrecked by Maria Padian; Infandous by Elana K. Arnold; In The Dream House by Carmen Maria Machado. A YA book to get my friend who doesn’t really read….p.s. she really likes Disney. Disney’s Twisted Tales; Dorothy Must Die by Danielle Paige; Shadow and Bone by Leigh Bardugo; Under a Painted Sky by Stacey Lee. One of my high school students likes mysteries and fantasy novels, but doesn’t like any “kissing” (i.e. lots of romance or a focus on a relationship). What suggestions could I give her? Goldie Vance: The Hotel Whodunit by Lilliam Rivera; Endangered by Lamar Giles; Jennifer Lynn Barnes; Karen M. McManus; Complicit by Stephanie Kuehn. A book for my 16 year old nephew who is a very particular reader. Used to love Rick Riordan but has moved on. Beyond Riordan, the only books I’ve sent him that he has actually called begging for the sequels is Scythe. He likes Agatha Christie “because it makes him think” (to figure out what is going on). I’ve tried AS King and Going Bovine, but have not gotten a reaction and all the fantasy tried and trues. Would love an idea from you! Bitterblue by Kristin Cashore; The Future will be BS-free by Will McIntosh; The Lines We Cross by Randa Abdel-Fattah; Warcross and Legend by Marie Lu. A contemporary with some magic and some romance, but the story does not center grief. Now and When by Sara Bennett Wealer; Displacement by Kiku Hughes; Lobizona by Romina Garber. I am looking for a fantasy novel with romance that ideally is part of an almost finished or finished series. I have already read many of the popular ones, so I guess I am looking for those that were a bit more under the radar. I have read/started the Folk of the Air Series, A Court of Thorns and Roses Series, Red Queen Series, all of Cassandra Clare, etc. and loved them all! Looking for something in that realm. Blythewood by Carol Goodman; Lost Voices by Sarah Porter; The Madman’s Daughter by Megan Shepherd; Brooklyn Brujas by Zoraida Cordova. Warm fuzzy story about family (chosen, biological, adopted, whatever) with winter holiday(s) (not necessarily Christmas, but Christmas ok) as a backdrop and a happy ending. Something wintery and hopeful. (At least something that leaves the reader with some hope.) I like a variety of things. Some writers whose work I’ve enjoyed: Katie Henry, Karen McManus, Tomi Adeyemi, Jenny Han, Nina LaCour, and too many names to list. A few books I’ve read and enjoyed because of this podcast: Agnes at the End of the World, We Are the Perfect Girl, and Orpheus Girl. 10 Blind Dates by Ashley Elston; The Kid Table by Andrea Seigel; The Chaos of Standing Still by Jessica Brody. A feminist book like Rules for Being a Girl. Girls Like Us by Randi Pink; The Degenerates by J. Albert Mann; Burn Baby Burn by Meg Medina; Watch Us Rise by Renee Watson and Ellen Hagan. Books for a 13 year-old. She loves the Shadowhunter Chronicles by Cassandra Clare and anything written by Rick Riordan. Recently, I loaned her my copy of With the Fire on High by Elizabeth Acevedo (one of my favorite YA authors ever) and she loved it. I’d really like to give her books in a genre she loves and one that will expand her reading material. Finding Yvonne by Brandy Colbert; New Kid/Class Act by Jerry Craft; Inventing Victoria by Tonya Bolden; Akata Witch/Akata Warrior by Nnedi Okorafor. Something that will make me laugh, but also teach me something. The Go-Between by Veronica Chambers; Cherry by Lindsey Rosin; Unpregnant by Jenni Hendriks and Ted Caplan; We Are The Perfect Girl by Ariel Kaplan. I’m looking for at book for my niece (18 years old). She is not an avid reader out side required reading in school. She’s not that into fantasy and Sci fi, she likes contemporary fiction better. She might like a short story collection because 40 pages is not as daunting as 350 pages (or more if it’s a series) for a story. Books she had liked recently: They Both Die at the End by Adam Silvera and Broken Things by Lauren Oliver. Try Margarita Engle, Nikki Grimes, Stephanie Hemphill, Kwame Alexander as an alternative to short stories but still with a lot of white space, as it may be less intimidating; Toil and Trouble edited by Jessica Spotswood and Tess Sharpe; Clap When You Land by Elizabeth Acevedo. I’m interested in spooky tales, thrillers, science fiction, and non-WWII fiction. No dystopias or urban fantasy, please! The most important thing to me as an aromantic asexual person is that’s there’s no significant romantic element. I don’t want the main character to have any romantic partners or to spend several pages daydreaming about their crush(es). Thanks! Pan’s Labyrinth by Guillermo del Toro and Cornelia Funke; Dread Nation by Justina Ireland; Dreamland Burning by Jennifer Latham; The Blood Confession by Alisa M. Libby; The Girl From The Well by Rin Chupecho; Jackaby by William Ritter; Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour. A book for my 19 year old sister who loves Wilder Girls and The Poet X. She is a fan of feminism, horror, and queerness in books. The Cure for Dreaming by Cat Winters; Mary’s Monster by Lita Judge; The Good Luck Girls by Charlotte Nicole Davis; Furia by Yamile Saied Mendez; We Are The Wildcats by Siobhan Vivian; The Stars and the Blackness Between Them by Junauda Petrus. A book for my daughter. She recently told me that she is gay. I want to show her how much I love her and accept her. She loves graphic novels and has read many of the most popular ones featuring same sex relationships. Everything Noelle Stevenson! Lumberjanes, Nimona, The Fire Never Goes Out; Queer: A Graphic History by Meg John Barker and Julia Scheele; Skim by Mariko Tamaki; Mooncakes by Suzanne Walker and Wendy Xu; Kiss Number 8 by Colleen AF Venable and Ellen T. Crenshaw; Moonstruck by Grace Ellis and Shae Bragl. Something heavily folklore-based (Maggie Stiefvater or higher level of “heavily”) and LGBTQ+ please? European and Asian folklore are my favorite but I’ll be happy to dive into any other as well. Anna-Marie McLemore; A Thousand Beginnings and Endings edited by Elsie Chapman and Ellen Oh; Wicked As You Wish by Rin Chupeco; A Curse of Roses by Diana Pinguicha; Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao; Girl, Serpent, Thorn by Melissa Bashardost. A fantasy or science fiction novel, preferably action-packed. Etiquette and Espionage by Gail Carriger; The Marrow Thieves by Cherie Dimaline; Cut Off by Adrianne Finley; Orleans by Sherri L. Smith. An awesome ghost story. The Girl from the Well by Rin Chupeco; Wait Till Helen Comes by Mary Downing Hahn; Horrid by Katrina Leno; The Tenth Girl by Sara Faring; Watch Over Me by Nina LaCour; Thirteen Doorways, Wolves Behind Them All by Laura Ruby; Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas. School for Good & Evil read-alikes for 14-year-old reluctant reader. Thanks!

Wherein the host Bethany is joined by Liene from the YouTube channel Liene's Library to discuss dark and grimdark fantasy books, morally gray characters, why we love a villain, why we love the fact that YA and children's literature are starting to include some darker themes and morally complex characters, and the need for female characters outside of the saint/sinner dichotomy.

Gail Carriger and Piper J. Drake share books that give them a strong sense of place. * new episode! What do Gail and Piper think of as a book that gives them a sense of place? Gail thought of books that make her want to travel somewhere and particularly thinks of the light of a place.  Piper thought of not only books that made her want to travel to a place, but also books that created the perfect scene that pulled her into the book. Gail and Piper discuss the writing craft aspect of how they think of books and a sense of place, what senses come into play, and how to research for setting. They also discuss ways to research a place when you can't actually go there. Book Shout Outs!  Gail recommended: Lord of Two Lands by Judith Tarr The Dark is Rising series by Susan Cooper *Gail particularly referenced The Grey King, the book in this series that was set in Wales. My Family and Other Animals by Gerald Durrell Piper recommended: Psy-Changeling series by Nalini Singh *Piper struggled to remember the first short story that introduced her to this series. The title was “Stroke of Enticement” and was originally in The Magical Christmas Cat anthology. Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao Silence Fallen by Patricia Briggs Gadgets! Piper currently reads with a mini iPad because it's closer to the size and weight of a paperback.  Gail reads on a Kindle Oasis because it is e-Ink. Special thanks to Kelly for editing this episode!

Amanda and Jenn discuss poetry, East Asian fiction and fantasy, books in translation, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by the Book Marks Journal, Tailored Book Recommendations, and Book Riot Insiders. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Feedback Two Old Women by Velma Wallis (rec'd by Terry) The Blind Contessa's New Machine by Carey Wallace (rec'd by Terry) Questions 1. I have recently been fascinated by both historical fiction and fantasy novels inspired by various East Asian cultures. I have always loved these genres, but growing up my reading centered around more European inspired fantasy and usually regency or WWII historical fiction reads, all from very Western perspectives. I read Memoirs of a Geisha in high school and loved it, but my fifteen year old self did not realize how problematic it was! In the fantasy genre, I've picked up a few more books recently, but I would love to find more, even if they are backlist. I would also love to be able to support #ownvoices authors, as I know there has been harassment particularly in the US towards some members of these communities. Some historical fiction I've recently read or picked up already: Pachinko (LOVED), The Library of Legends (TBR), The Night Tiger (wanted to love, but incest vibes are a hard ICK factor for me that I can't get past), The Lotus Palace (TBR) Fantasy I've read or already picked up: The Poppy War (love), Girls of Paper and Fire (love), Forest of a Thousand Lanterns (love), Flame In the Mist (love), Spin the Dawn (TBR) -Hillary 2. Looking for a good, funny, relaxing book that is 400+ pages and will give me wanderlust! -Abby 3. Hi! I'm always trying to read more books in translation because I love learning about new cultures. I also started tracking the country of origin of my reads lately and didn't feel great about the fact that about 80% of the books I read come from either the US or Canada (I'm Canadian). So I've been making more of an effort, but I find most books in translation are super literary and dense, and that's not always what I'm looking for. I'm hoping for books in translation that are a bit easier to read. I'm not picky about country of origin, and my favourite genres are fantasy and contemporary fiction. I'm looking for something more Fredrik Bachman or Cornelia Funke, and less Haruki Murakami. -Magdalene 4. My 16 year old son is looking for books where magic exists in the everyday world and everyone knows about it. So you might find a herbs and amulets shop next to a shoe shop, and the library openly has a magic books section. He would prefer little or no overt sex or romance as he is aro/ace and finds both uncomfortable. Thank you. -Kerry 5. In the last couple of years I've stumbled on a peculiar plot setup in tv and movies that I really enjoy and would love to explore in book form. It's the "kids face strife as children and escape, then grow up and reunite to destroy it once and for all." I'm thinking of tv shows like The Haunting of Hill House, movies like It, and books like Meddling Kids. I really enjoyed all of these, especially Hill House since it really explored the characters and their relationships. I read Hill House and enjoyed it but it wasn't anything like the show, and It gave me horrible nightmares and I couldn't finish (though no other Stephen King books have). I'm hoping you'll know of more books that might scratch this particular itch. I'm open to books with a similar set-up outside the horror genre, it's really more the reuniting friends/siblings and facing trauma together that is the big draw for me.  Thanks, y'all! -Eileen 6. I was recently diagnosed with cancer and had to have surgery to remove the tumors. I would love some recommendations on characters dealing with the diagnosis of cancer? It can be fiction or nonfiction. Thanks -Brittney 7. Hi! I am a big fiction reader, but I have been wanting to get into poetry recently. I will read basically anything, and lately I have been reading romance, fantasy and memoirs. I am a Hispanic 19-year old female, if that helps. I would love something a bit modern, contemporary and non-traditional. A book of poems would be ideal.  Thanks! -Maria Books Discussed How We Disappeared by Jing-Jing Lee (tw rape) Dandelion Dynasty by Ken Liu (Grace of Kings #1) Crazy Rich Asians by Kevin Kwan (rec'd by Tika) The Lunar Chronicles by Marissa Meyer (Cinder #1)  Convenience Store Woman by Sayaka Murata, transl by Ginny Tapley Takemori A Hero Born by Jin Yong (Louis Cha), translated by Anna Holmwood Recommended with Sherry Thomas  Akata Witch by Nnedi Okorafor Jade City by Fonda Lee (tw: discussion of child abuse and child pornography) The Peach Keeper by Sarah Addison Allen Chosen Ones by Veronica Roth (tw: self harm, fatal overdose, torture, gore) The Bus on Thursday by Shirley Barrett All the Wild Hungers by Karen Babine Don’t Call Us Dead by Danez Smith Bright Dead Things by Ada Limón

Amanda and Jenn discuss light nonfiction, novels in verse, thrillers, and more in this week's episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Temper by Nicky Drayden and Book Riot Insiders.   Feedback:   The Translator's Invisibility: A History of Translation by Lawrence Venuti The Translator by Nina Schuyler   Questions:   1. I typically read fantasy/science fiction books, but I have recently been trying to branch out. So recently, I read Cork-Dork by Bianca Bosker, which I found both charming and informative. Can you recommend similar nonfiction books? When I say similar I don't necessarily mean the topic, but rather in style. I loved the experience of a light non-fiction book where I felt I was joining the author in their immersive learning process about a particular topic. I am not looking for anything that is emotionally heavy, but rather something that sparks the desire to learn about something new. Thank you, --Jessica   2. Hello Amanda and Jenn! (And possibly, Liberty and/or Rebecca!) I'm writing to request help with birthday gifts for my niece and nephew. They have birthdays in early September. 1) NIECE - She will be 6. She likes books but doesn't reach for them herself. If I'm reading a book out loud, she drops what she's doing and will come sit by me to listen to the story. She has an older sister who is a bookworm, and she feels left out if anyone talks about books and she can't join in. She has started learning to read and will sound out letters with her parents or me. But she is self-conscious about it and hasn't really learned to enjoy a story yet because of that. Despite these difficulties, she is a great little girl - so curious about the world! She is very quick at math, loves riddles, and is very extroverted. She loves to wear matching accessories with her dresses. She once told me that her most favorite thing in the world is to eat dinner every day with her family. 2) NEPHEW - He will be 4. He loves to be read to. He especially likes picture books with a good dose of facts with fiction, e.g. Pop's Bridge (his favorite). I would like to buy him another picture book about famous bridges. No car/train/plane/construction/emergency vehicle books, please. He has all of them and insists that he's moving on from that phase of life (we have our doubts based on observations but haven't said anything either way). Hope this request isn't too long! Thanks for your help! --Sel   3. Hello Ladies, I am curious if you could recommend any novels told in verse? I have recently read and enjoyed The Watch that Ends the Night and Long Way Down (which was excellent on audio as read by Jason Reynolds himself). When I was younger and much angstier, I also read and enjoyed several Ellen Hopkins books which, upon reflection, are in line with what I want in regards to form, but not content. Aside from avoiding exploitative melodrama, I don’t have any particular topics or genres in mind for this request. The Poet X is already on my list. Thank you for the show, which always keeps my TBR way too long! --April   4. Hello! I tend to read a lot of "literary" fiction, but I love a page-turning psychological thriller every now and then. Unfortunately, all the thrillers I read seem to be by white (usually British, but sometimes American) women. Can you please recommend some twisty thrillers by people of color (still women, if possible!)? Just to clarify, I have read and enjoyed authors including Attica Locke and Sujata Massey, but I'm looking for more of a pure thriller (along the lines of B.A. Paris, Clare Mackintosh, etc.) - something fun and easy to read, not a cerebral mystery. I know you addressed a similar question for mysteries a few weeks ago, which really helped my TBR, but still didn't quite hit my thriller fix. Thanks! --Megan   5. My sister loved The Heart's Invisible Furies by John Boyne and she is pining for another long drawn out depressing story (my take ;)). She also loves East of Eden and The Awakening. Thanks! --Maggie   6. I'm a fairly recent romance reader, and I have a few go-to authors (Courtney Milan, Tessa Dare, Rose Lerner, Alyssa Cole, Alisha Rai come to mind immediately). I've recently been reading Courtney Milan's Worth series, and Alisha Rai's Forbidden Hearts series. I love them both, and the thing that has drawn me in the most isn't so much the romantic relationships, but the family dynamics, secrets, and intrigues. I'm especially a sucker for reunion scenes with lost or estranged family members. Do you know of other romance series that center around families with similar themes? If it wasn't clear from my list of authors, I have a strong preference for romance with a feminist bent. Any romance subgenre is good. --Leslie   7. Most of the time I prefer more “serious” novels, but when I’m in a reading slump (or just exhausted from a heavy book), I like to pick up quick indulgent reads to get me back on track. The last few times this has happened, I’ve picked books like Kiera Cass’s The Selection series and Jillian Dodd’s Spy Girl series. Unfortunately, both have kind of let me down—I love the premises: strong female lead, escapist settings, some political conspiracy, sort of wish fulfillment-y in that a “regular” girl ends up hanging out with royalty, etc. However, I feel like these books miss so many opportunities to really be amazing: the girls get so caught up in the romances that the political intrigue gets put on the back burner (though I don’t mind some romance!), they are very white/heteronormative, and the lead (especially in The Selection) doesn’t have much of a growth arc even though the story totally sets up the possibility. Can you recommend some similar but, uh, better options? Doesn’t have to be YA (maybe that’s part of my problem) or series but should be something I can read in only a few sittings! Thanks! --Carol   Books Discussed: Trail of Lightning by Rebecca Roanhorse Changeless by Gail Carriger The Earth Moved by Amy Stewart I Contain Multitudes by Ed Yong Here to There and Me To You by Cheryl Keely Zita the Spacegirl by Ben Hatke Inside Out and Back Again by Thanhha Lai Brown Girl Dreaming by Jacqueline Woodson The Lost Ones by Sheena Kamal Yesterday by Felicia Yap Pachinko by Min Jin Lee Homegoing by Yaa Gyasi Sweet Tea and Sympathy (Southern Eclectic #1) by Molly Harper It Takes Two to Tumble (Seducing the Sedgwicks #1) by Cat Sebastian Forest of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C.

Today Jackie and Kelly talk about Before She Ignites, a YA fantasy by Jodi Meadows. While all of the characters are POC, Meadows is actually white. This could go terribly, terribly wrong. Or… maybe not? It’s also worth noting that Before She Ignites may be the first, or one of the first, books from a major publishing house to include a POC model on the cover! Often POC-based covers are avoided in favor of vague designs or landscapes (take, for example, Forest of a Thousand Lanterns — even though the cover is still beautiful). Is this book, centered around a group of islands populated by POC characters, going to show its problematic side? Or will it be decidedly tame? Find out in this week’s episode of Fiction Forward!

This week on the MashReads Podcast, we chat with YA superstar Marie Lu about her new novel Warcross as well as her upcoming YA adaptation of Batman, Batman: Nightwalkers. Marie recommends Force of a Thousand Lanterns by Julie C. Dao. "It is a fantastic, East Asian retelling of the Snow White story but from the Queen's perspective. It is so good, and it is dark, and lush and awesome. I can't believe it's a debut." She also recommends Bob's Burgers. "That's my happy show. I always leave that show feeling good." Aliza recommends the TV show Outlander. "It is essence a period soap opera, but it's so much more than that ... the writing on that show is amazing, and the way they portray people dealing with drama is really, really good." MJ recommends Adam Silvera's new novel They Both Die At The End. He also recommends reading the New York Times "Modern Love" essay "Who Is Allowed To Hold Hands." "It's this heartbreaking, impassioned essay about who is allowed to hands and when and where and why."
