Get ready for an all star end oof the year episode of Reading with Your Kids! We had a really impressive lineup of guests, starting with 13-year-old author Orion Jean. Orion wrote a book called "Race to Kindness" about a young boy who uses kindness to inspire his community. Orion is wise beyond his years - he talked about how kindness can make a big impact, even in small conversations. It was awesome to hear how he's already making a difference through projects like donating toys, meals, and books. Next up was comedian Joe Ghetto, who wrote a new children's book called "Where's Bearry?" about his son losing a favorite stuffed animal. Joe shared how the story became a fun way for him to bond with his kids through reading. He had a great perspective on how writing for kids is a different creative process than his comedy work, but he really enjoyed the challenge. We also heard from author Rajani LaRocca about her new fantasy book "Sona and the Golden Beast." Rajani created this rich, Indian-inspired world and the story deals with some heavy themes around colonialism. But she balanced that with relatable characters and emotions that draw you in. I loved how she talked about putting her characters through tough situations to see how they'd handle it. And we met 15-year-old DeMarco Avant, who wrote a book called "Teenage Boss" to teach financial literacy to other teens. DeMarco has already accomplished so much, like taking college classes in high school. But he was refreshingly honest about still making mistakes with money sometimes.  Finally, bestselling author Kendare Blake joined us to discuss her new YA book "Warrior of Legend." This is the conclusion to her "Hero Maker" duology, which is connected to her previous "Three Dark Crowns" series. Kendare shared how she loves putting her characters through challenging situations to see how they respond. Overall, this episode was a great mix of creativity, wisdom, and inspiration from authors at all different stages of their careers. I always love hearing the stories behind the books and how the writers put their hearts into their work.

On this episode of Reading with Your Kids, we had the pleasure of chatting with two talented authors - Kendare Blake and Lynn Marie.  Kendare Blake is the New York Times bestselling author of the "Three Dark Crowns" series, and she's here to discuss the conclusion of her "Hero Maker Duology", titled "Warrior of Legend". Kendare shared how she loves to put her characters through challenging situations and see how they respond. She has a knack for creating complex, flawed female protagonists that readers can't help but root for.  Kendare also opened up about her own reading journey, from devouring Stephen King and Anne Rice novels as a teen to rediscovering them as an adult. She has such a passion for dark, imaginative storytelling, which she traces back to a formative experience with a spooky elementary school librarian.  Next, we chatted with Lynne Marie, the self-proclaimed "Picture Book Mechanic". Lynne shared how her own experiences growing up with sisters inspired her delightful new picture book "Broom Mates". She has a real gift for taking everyday sibling dynamics and infusing them with a magical, whimsical twist. Lynn also explained her unique approach to critiquing picture books. Rather than simply praising the work, she dives in to examine the mechanics - does the story engage young readers? Does it have a meaningful takeaway? She's not afraid to give tough feedback, because her goal is to help authors make their stories the best they can be. Whether you're a fan of YA fantasy, picture books, or just great storytelling in general, this episode of Reading with Your Kids is sure to inspire and delight. Kendare and Lynn are both incredible talents, and we can't wait to see what they create next!

Today I got to speak with the one and only Kendare Blake author of the Three Dark Crowns series and the Heromaker Duet.

La saga "Three Dark Crowns" de Kendare Blake est un exemple emblématique de la dark fantasy, un sous-genre de la fantasy qui explore des thèmes plus sombres, complexes et souvent plus adultes que ceux typiquement trouvés dans la fantasy traditionnelle.

In this very special episode; Heather is joined by yet another author! This time, the author is Lily Sparks and she describes her new book: Teen Killers Club – which hits shelves everywhere, on November 10, 2020!In Lily’s own words: “Teen Killers Club, (Crooked Lane/Penguin Random House) is really is built on the theme Nature vs. Narcissism: it's set in a world where convicted killers have their internet activity run through an algorithm and then are classed from A-F based on criminal potential, Class A being the most deadly. The Class A's who are under 18 are then whisked off to an abandoned summer camp to train as assassins. But our main character, a misfit goth, was framed for the murder of her best friend and is actually innocent. (It’s based on the how the Hare Psychopathy checklist is currently used to determine eligibility for parole or the death penalty in many prisons currently.) So, the book really is centered around this question of, is evil innate or learned and at what point can the tide be turned in someone who is headed down the wrong path.”So, obviously; Heather HAD to interview her…there was no question about it!Some of her reviewers are just as stoked! Here’s what they’re saying:“a wicked sense of humor” –Margot Harrison (author of The Glare)“…sick, twisted, fast-paced fun” –Kendare Blake (NYT bestselling author of Three Dark Crowns)“highly addictive and uncomfortably heartfelt” –Joelle Charbonneau (NYT bestselling author of The Testing)TEEN KILLERS CLUB WILL BE AVAILABLE ON NOVEMBER 10, 2020!Get your copy here:Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/1643852299Website: http://www.sparkslily.comDirect link to indiebound (a way to find the book at an independent retailer): https://www.indiebound.org/book/9781643852294Follow Lily on Twitter: @lilyroroMusic at the beginning and end of this episode was from Andre The G.

Links and Topics Mentioned In This Episode In her fanfiction, Katharine would correct existing books to have happier endings, like the His Dark Materials series by Phillip Pullman (she got so attached to her new ending that she hasn’t yet gotten the courage to read The Secret Commonwealth, sequel to The Book of Dust: La Belle Sauvage) and the Redwall series by Brian Jacques Katharine wishes she knew about National Novel Writing Month when she was drafting her thesis Katharine has a soft spot for works that reclaim the stories of women who, to this point, have mostly been known for being adjacent to men as the men make history. Novels like The Mists of Avalon by Marion Zimmer Bradley; Margaret George’s Helen of Troy: A Novel Red, White, and Royal Blue by Casey McQuiston Katharine edited Pretty Little Liars books 9-16 by Sara Shepard, and Kass Morgan’s The 100 (listen to Kass’s First Draft interview here), and some of Laura Avery’s books When Katharine first tried her hand at writing American Royals, she’d been watching a lot of House of Cards, so the tone of her book was MUCH darker than what ended up on shelves Katharine was lucky enough to go on book tour with Kendare Blake, New York Times bestselling author of the Three Dark Crowns series, Anna Dressed in Blood, and more (listen to us chatting on this live episode of First Draft!) Katharine cites Scott Westerfeld’s Uglies series as a major influence over her vision for the future in the Thousandth Floor series Katharine pitches American Royals as Crazy Rich Asians meets The Crown If you get the chance, ask Katharine about her feelings on how publishing is represented in the TV show Younger American Royals was featured in The Skimm; However, Reese Witherspoon’s Hello Sunshine remains a moving target The Secret Diary of Ann Boelyn by Robin Maxwell   I want to hear from you!

Hello, and welcome to our NCFM Quaranteenie! Today, we discuss: The End of the Road, EW's SPN exclusive EW's The Ultimate Guide to Supernatural Black Sails YouTuber Hannah Lee Kidder (x), Quest for the Worst (x) Three Dark Crowns series by Kendare Blake

NOTE: Today I begin a slightly different format for my podcast. I feel it will lead to shorter, more enjoyable episodes for you, my wonderful listeners. Instead of doing a full-on plot dive into all the details, my guests and I will more casually discuss what we liked/didn't like, our favorite moments/quotes, the characters, and the plotline in general. So this does mean that the entire episode WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS. You've been warned. I hope you enjoy! Thanks for listening!Join my guest Rachel Carpenter and I as we dive into book three of the Three Dark Crowns trilogy. Queen Katharine has waited her entire life to wear the crown. But now that she finally has it, the murmurs of dissent grow louder by the day. There’s also the alarming issue of whether her sisters are actually dead—or if they’re waiting in the wings to usurp the throne.Mirabella and Arsinoe are alive, but in hiding on the mainland and dealing with a nightmare of their own: being visited repeatedly by a specter they think might be the fabled Blue Queen. Though she says nothing, her rotting, bony finger pointing out to sea is clear enough: return to Fennbirn. Jules, too, is in a strange place—in disguise. And her only confidants, a war-gifted girl named Emilia and her oracle friend Mathilde, are urging her to take on a role she can’t imagine filling: a legion-cursed queen who will lead a rebel army to Katharine’s doorstep.This is an uprising that the mysterious Blue Queen may have more to do with than anyone could have guessed—or expected.Check out Rachel's blog - Military City Moms BlogCheck out the Military Moms Blog Book Club HEREFollow YA Book Chat on Instagram and Facebook.Have a question about the Three Dark Crowns trilogy?

Quote  “The angel said to the women, “Do not be afraid, for I know that you are looking for Jesus, who was crucified. He is not here; he has risen, just as he said.” Matthew 28:5-6 Welcome to the Sensory Strides podcast. Observations of the world through activity, reading, listening, and everything else. 52 Hike Challenge – Join us! There are free challenges and lots of swag you can buy. https://www.52hikechallenge.com/?rfsn=3543491.754f73&utm_source=refersion&utm_medium=affiliate&utm_campaign=3543491.754f73 #52hikechallenge2020 This is our 50th episode. Thanks to all of you who have listened and given feedback to keep us creating consistent content. Easter was very unusual this year. However, we still managed to visit with both my husband and my families. We even got to visit with my cousins that are on other sides of the state. A positive outcome of the health crisis is more users connecting through video conferencing software. Although I often use Zoom and have recorded all my Hearts of Gold interviews on that platform, we used Webex. I currently use the free version of Zoom, which doesn’t allow for longer meetings with multiple people. Webex offered non profits free access at the beginning of the health crisis and I was able to get an account through my work. This allowed all of us to long in without any worry about timeframes. I have been even more consistent in my reading time during this stay at home time. I often read young adult books, often dystopia related. I’ve tried expanding into fantasy. I read Three Dark Crowns and Sophia, Princess Among Beasts. What I’ve realized is that I perhaps should not read these books. Most of my reading time is the hour before bed and I’ve had weird dreams as I’ve read these books. I think I need to stick with books that have less imagery. https://www.amazon.com/Three-Dark-Crowns-Kendare-Blake/dp/0062385437 https://www.amazon.com/Sophia-Princess-Among-Beasts-Patterson/dp/0316417475 I also finally got The Husband’s Secret off hold at the library after waiting since last summer. There was a lot of buzz around this book last year and I can now understand why. Although I picked up on some of the pieces of the puzzle throughout the book, I would never have guessed the ending. https://www.amazon.com/Husbands-Secret-Liane-Moriarty/dp/0451490045 My biggest struggle is reading non fiction on my ebook. I often use sticky tabs as I read a non fiction to identify pieces that I want to remember and discuss with my book club. With the libraries closed, I currently have three fiction books on my e reader. I need to decide which one to read before the end of the month for my book club discussion. We each read our own book and then share so we can all read something meaningful for us and learn from each other. It’s like reading four books each month rather than one. Has anyone read any of these books and be able to give me some feedback on which one I should choose? My choices are: Factfulness by Hans Rosling, The Seventh Most Important Thing by Shelley Pearsall, or Find the Good by Heather Lende. https://www.amazon.com/Factfulness-Reasons-World-Things-Better/dp/1250107814/ref=tmm_hrd_swatch_0?_encoding=UTF8&qid=1586713628&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Seventh-Most-Important-Thing-ebook/dp/B00PEPR6J4/ref=sr_1_1?crid=UKZJYKVKJSIE&dchild=1&keywords=the+seventh+most+important+thing+by+shelley+pearsall&qid=1586713679&s=books&sprefix=the+seventh+most%2Cstripbooks%2C174&sr=1-1 https://www.amazon.com/Find-Good-Unexpected-Small-Town-Obituary/dp/1616201673 Thanks for joining me.

Today we dive into the Three Dark Crowns series by NY Times Best Selling Author, Kendare Blake. Each generation three triplet queens are born on the island of Fennbirn; each an equal heir to the throne. But when they turn 16, the battle for the crown begins. Who will be victorious? Will it be the elemental queen, Mirabella, who can control the wind and fire? Maybe it will be the naturalist queen, Arsinoe, who rules over plants and animals. Or perhaps, it will be the poisoner queen Katherine, the most dangerous of them all. Join my friend Christine and I as we dive in deep to discuss the world of Fennbirn and all it holds for its young queens.

Book NotesMelissa recommends: Novice Dragoneer by E.E. Knight Ahimsa by Supriya Kelkar Adam recommends: The Tea Dragon Society by Katie O'Neill Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake Carrie recommends: Egg & Spoon by Gregory Maguire Other Words for Home by Jasmine Warga Bite Notes Warm up like Ileth in Novice Dragoneer with the hearty Roasted Corn and Chorizo Chowder from The London Cookbook by Aleksandra Crapanzano. Make Badam Burfi, a quick sweet treat like Anjali's mom did to celebrate Diwali, using this recipe from Cook with Manali. Enjoy The Tea Dragon Society with a non-traditional approach to a London Fog—which is typically made with Earl Grey tea, steamed milk, vanilla, and sweetener. For our twist, swap the Earl Grey with your favorite tea dragon's variety. Bittersweet hot cocoa is the perfect sip for the dark, yet nuanced story of Three Dark Crowns. As Baba Yaga might say in Egg & Spoon, marinate yourself from the inside with this Vegetarian Red Borscht. Pair Other Words for Home with any of the delicious-sounding Syrian recipes in Feast: Food of the Islamic World. Or fry some cauliflower like Jude's mother.

I’ve gotten into young adult fantasy the last few weeks.  It started because those are usually easily available on the Libby app through the library for ebooks. Some of the books have been very strange and others I couldn’t put down.  Many of the books I choose were series so if I liked them I would have additional books to read.  I also tried to make sure they were books where the series was fully released.  Nothing like reading a series and then having to wait years for the sequel – I never remember what the original book was about. I will be reading the next in the series for Three Dark Crowns by Kendare Blake.  I’m not sure how I actually feel about the story, but I know I couldn’t put it down and I want to see what happens in book 2. I also read Opalescence by Ron Rayborne.  Although this one is not a series, I would definitely not have read the next if it was.  I expect there are a lot of people out there that would appreciate the descriptions Mr Rayborne shares of his prehistoric Earth, but I am not a biologist and there was too many in depth descriptions of plants and animals for me.  If you like colorful descriptions that allow your imagination to picture something you haven’t seen, this could be the book for you.  I loved the concept of the book, but the reality wasn’t for me.

Amanda and Jenn discuss long distance romances, read-alikes for Tamora Pierce, punny titles, and more in this week’s episode of Get Booked. This episode is sponsored by Book Marks, a customizable journal to record your reading life, William Morrow Paperbacks, publisher of The Lucky One by Lori Rader-Day, and Never Kiss a Duke by Megan Frampton, published by Avon Books. Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. Questions 1. Hello! Last year I read all the Tamora Pierce books and I loved them (thanks Jenn for the strong rec on these)! I’m currently reading Novice Dragoneer and also enjoying it. Can you rec me a good comp for Tamora Pierce? I’ve listened to all the Get Booked episodes so something that’s never been recommended would be awesome. Also, bonus points for a series or multiple books, I read through the Tamora Pierce books so fast! -Heather 2. I will be traveling throughout Oregon in 2020, and would love to prepare by reading some books that take place mostly in Oregon. I love ALL genres, so feel free to go wild with the recs! Thank you! -Brooke 3. Hi I’m Adah and I am 10 years old and I really like books with lots of suspense and where you just can’t stop turning page after page it’s usually realistic fiction or mystery ex: the tale of despereaux, the marvelous journey of Edward Tulane, just under the clouds and the wild robot. I would like more books like that. P.S. I really like your podcast, Thank you, -Adah 4. I am an asexual woman with a crush on my male best friend. Can you recommend a good friends-to-lovers read that is not all about sex? The characters do not need to be asexual but I prefer more of a slow burn where sex is only at the end if at all. Thank you! -Anon 5. Hello, First of all, I would like to say that I love your podcast and have been listening to it while I work (I spend a lot of time copying and pasting to excel spreadsheets as a research assistant). My boyfriend of 2 years recently graduated and was asked by the company he works for to move to another state. I am stuck in one spot because I am finishing my college degree and have decided to pursue my master’s. I am determined to believe that love prevails, and that, no matter what anyone says, I’m not naive for putting so much hope into what will be a long distance relationship of several years. I’d love some recommendations for new adult books about long distance relationships. They can be sweet or angsty. What matters to me is a relationship that feels passionate and true, and a story that seems realistic, like something I could believe in for myself. Thank you so much! -Dana 6. Hi, this year I want to get back into big fantasy/paranormal books. Last year I read mostly romance since I finished the Throne of Glass series in very quick succession and need a break. I’ve read and liked Percy Jackson, Red Queen, Three Dark Crowns, and the Vampire Academy (mostly, I had some issues with the way it ended). I have also read the first 4 books of the Outlander series but I’ve found that is something I rather watch than read along with Game of Thrones. I’ll read just about anything. Thanks so much. -Alexandra 7. Hi there! I have a TIME SENSITIVE request, I need recommendations by June 2020 if possible. I have decided to do the Pop Sugar Reading Challenge for 2020 and am struggling to find a book for the prompt “a book with a pun in the title.” Here are my general criteria: –NO COZY MYSTERIES –No m/f romance (f/f or m/m is fine) –Generally prefer nonfiction, literary fiction/contemporary fiction, historical fiction, but am willing to try just about anything other than cozy mysteries or m/f romance. Thank you -Sibyl Books Discussed Graceling by Kristin Cashore The Riddle-Master of Hed series, Patricia McKillip The Sisters Brothers by Patrick deWitt (tw violence, harm to animals) The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. LeGuin Tristan Strong Punches a Hole in the Sky by Kwame Mbalia Dragons in a Bag by Zeta Elliott Tash Hearts Tolstoy by Kathryn Ormsbee (tw aphobia) Let’s Talk About Love by Claire Kann The Wedding Date by Jasmine Guillory Play It Again by Aidan Wayne Ruin of Kings by Jenn Lyons (tw torture and whatnot) Master of Restless Shadows by Ginn Hale (tw: abuse & cruelty, torture, prejudice, racism, self-harm, discussion of rape) The Pun Also Rises by John Pollack Here’s Looking at Euclid by Alex Bellos

Books that got overlooked on my TBR but I finally got to them! And I’m so glad I did! Listen to hear what I thought about Three Dark Crowns and We Were Liars.

Our friend Courtney joins us to chat about A River of Royal Blood by Amanda Joy. It’s perfect for fans of Children of Blood and Bone or Three Dark Crowns! (Transcript) In today’s episode…   A River of Royal Blood tells the story of two rival princesses, Eva and Isadore, in a land of magic and mystery. Eva, our POV character, has always known that when she comes of age, she and her sister will fight to the death for the crown. Even though she wants to rule and be a good queen, Eva has never believed she’d have a chance because she’s never been able to use her magic of Blood and Marrow. It’s a terrifying magic with a sinister past, and Eva’s father could never find someone to teach her.

Hello from Veronica Roth’s tour in support of her new book, Carve the Mark!
