Podcast appearances and mentions of Veronica Roth

Unfortunately, Divergent is good now. There was a time when it was the worst YA dystopia ever, but now all we can do is quietly smile at how silly it was. Well, sorta.

Veronica Roth's deepest desires and her weird, weird beliefs take Andrew and J to new literary depths, unpacking centuries-old religious debates and reworking the literary world into which Divergent was born.

My guest today is the American novelist and short story writer, Veronica Roth. Born in New York and raised in Illinois, she studied creative writing at Northeastern University. While a student, she wrote Divergent, a dystopian science fiction novel set in a post-apocalyptic version of Chicago.The book sold to a publisher even before she graduated, and the film rights a few months later. Two sequels followed, creating a trilogy that has now sold more than 35 million copies worldwide. More books followed including, in 2020, her first adult novel, Chosen Ones. Now, in her forthcoming book, When Among Crows, my guest returns to Chicago, in a story that combines Slavic folklore and the city's underworld.

We made it!!! Chapter 38 is about four pages long and mostly contains said character so we've lumped it with the final chapter of the book.  Tune in to see how Veronica Roth wraps it all up and how we think it ends!

This episode contains: These three fools are back at it this week. Steven's had a rough go with little sleep, and he really enjoys the new videogame Manor Lords (are those two things related?). Ben's super excited to play the new Venice course in Walkabout Minigolf. All we can say is “Good Job, Mighty Coconut!” Devon's had a rough go of it too, what with dealing with extended family staying at his house. There's also been car troubles. TEST THE BATTERY! FIX THE GARAGE DOOR! GET IN THE CHOPPA! Steven had a different experience this week: he attended the DisneyLand Star Wars night “Season of the Force.” It was AWESOME: so many Star Wars nerds everywhere, and since it was after hours, there was a much smaller park population. Goes to show you gotta give the mouse his due to be around Steven's people: Star Wars people meets Disney people in a capitalist Venn diagram of scum and villainy. He also got to try out new food. The events were a little boring. I mean, the wrong era is represented in Galaxy's Edge: Steven wishes it was Vader and the 501st instead of the “March of the First Order.” And then they changed Space Mountain to… HYPERSPACE MOUNTAIN??!?! Star Tours premiered some new characters and scenarios from Mandalorian and Ahsoka. And… well, Ben's ready for May the Fourth with his Star Wars Day shirt: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1100663519/galaxy-far-away-sw-space-wars-inspired    Shock to the Heart: How Pluto got its heart. The mystery of how Pluto got a giant heart-shaped feature on its surface has finally been solved by an international team of astrophysicists. The team is the first to successfully reproduce the unusual shape with numerical simulations, attributing it to a giant and slow oblique-angle impact. https://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2024/04/240415163720.htm  https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tombaugh_Regio    Big Cheese: A vegan cheese beat dairy in a big competition. Then the plot curdled. A vegan cheese called Climax Blue was selected as a finalist for the prestigious Good Food Awards, shocking traditional cheesemakers. However, the cheese was later disqualified by the awards foundation, leading to a controversy over the definition of "cheese" and the role of plant-based alternatives. https://www.washingtonpost.com/food/2024/04/27/vegan-cheese-good-food-awards-climax    Book Club: Void by Veronica Roth (from The Far Reaches Collection). https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C4QLYVHG  TLDR, here are the ratings: Steven: 4/4 stars. The mystery allowed him to turn off his brain and just enjoy it. The characters were just right. Ben: 3/4 stars. This could have been a decent pilot for a tv show on the Redundancy. Devon: baseball analogies? Something about a bunt? Does that mean 1/4 stars? Devon compared it to other murder mysteries (Apples Never Fall, the works of Liane Moriarty) and this falls short. Next week: 2043…(A Merman I Should Turn to Be) by Nisi Shawl, part of the Black Stars collection. Ben's excited because the Audible version is read by LeVar Burton. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B098QPR7QG 

Dads, I just solved your next three weekends as to what to watch with your family on Amazon. The Divergent series! It's a Hunger Games like bowl of awesomeness and substance. (I think it is even better). I explain why and also mediate a little bit on the author Veronica Roth. She wrote this novel in a creative writing class at Northwestern her senior year. The movie rights were immediately purchased. I compare her as a shooting star with Steven Pressfield, the late bloomer.

This should be the climax of this story! It's deeply disappointing! 

Molly talks with Veronica Roth about her book, "When Among Crows".   About "When Among Crows" Step into a city where monsters feast on human emotions, knights split their souls to make their weapons, and witches always take more than they give. Pain is Dymitr's calling. To slay the monsters he's been raised to kill, he had to split his soul in half to make a sword from his own spine. Every time he draws it, he gets blood on his hands. Pain is Ala's inheritance. When her mother died, a family curse to witness horrors committed by the Holy Order was passed onto her. The curse will claim her life, as it did her mother's, unless she can find a cure. One fateful night in Chicago, Dymitr comes to Ala with a bargain: her help in finding the legendary witch Baba Jaga in exchange for an enchanted flower that just might cure her. Desperate, and unaware of what Dymitr really is, Ala agrees. But they only have one day before the flower dies . . . and Ala's hopes of breaking the curse along with it.   VERONICA ROTH is the New York Times best-selling author of Arch Conspirator, Poster Girl, Chosen Ones, the short story collection The End and Other Beginnings, the Divergent series, and the Carve the Mark duology. Her Divergent trilogy has been adapted into a blockbuster movie series. Veronica is also the guest editor of the most recent The Best American Science Fiction and Fantasy. She lives in Chicago, Illinois.   _________________________________________________________________________ One easy way to support this show is to rate and review Read Between the Lines wherever you listen to our podcast.  Those ratings really help us and help others find our show.

"And at this point, I almost screamed."Kellie and Daphne go back to Chicago one last time to learn what's beyond the fence--and it's a lot to take in. We get into the extreme pivots that this finale makes, discuss that controversial ending, and try to understand what it was all for. Plus, a priceless ($5) gift is given.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes information!Veronica Roth's Salon Article:https://www.salon.com/2021/06/05/i-killed-the-beloved-hero-of-my-books-and-reader-reactions-were-intense-would-i-do-it-again/Lady Geek Girl and Friends Blog:https://ladygeekgirl.wordpress.com/2014/03/23/oh-my-pop-culture-jesus-protestant-theology-in-the-divergent-trilogy/Penny's One-Star Amazon Review:https://www.amazon.com/review/RX9IWT6KYAJHR Hosted on Acast.

We get re-introduced to Tris's dad and brother in a bunker and who else could be there but Marcus!  Tris makes some mental leaps that are too big for her and we discuss ~Identity~

It's almost like reading Stephanie Meyer again for the worst reason (women who want to die)!

In which we discuss bodies, villains, and how Rebecca and Colleen could very easily destabilize a regime?

"It's almost like she's trying to say something."In their inaugural episode, Kellie and Daphne take on Veronica Roth's Divergent (2011). Our fearless readers discuss how this dystopian novel came to be, their personal relationships with YA fiction, and the many trials and tribulations faced by Beatrice Prior.Follow us on social media @rereadingtherevolution for updates and behind-the-scenes information!

And the second after we learn of the twist the plot pops off!  We compliment Veronica Roth on her pacing, we once again get lost in the IMDB page of the Divergent movie, and we go on lots and lots of tangents.

Plot is happening! Teenagers are happening! 

I apologize to Christians everywhere for saying Jesus only spent 30 days in the desert. It's 40. Excommunicate me.

We continue our Banned Books series, airing episodes that have been banned or challenged around the country. This week, it's Vernica Roth's dystopian adventure Divergent. Back in 2015, Ashland High School in Oregon banned Divergent because – according to the school's online newspaper - the book “shows a girl fighting against society which we do not want to strengthen.” What do you think? Give a listen to our discussion of Veronica Roth's Divergent. We venture into a dystopian universe created by writer Veronica Roth. Divergent is a tale about finding out where you fit in – and whether you're brave enough to take a literal leap of faith. Our celebrity reader is the 2018 Ms. Senior California and a familiar voice on KUNV Rita Pardue. Our readers are from Benjamin Trasker Middle School and we taped the episode at the Bowie, Maryland branch of the Prince Georges County Memorial Library. Kitty Felde is host.

This one's beefy, ladies, theydies, and gentlemen.  Buckle up for the next act to kick off and for five million things to happen in one chapter in order for that to happen!This club has everything - cult talk, dtr, jokes at Four's expense, inconsistent characterization of Tris and so much more.

Notes:We open by talking about trilogy and writing an ending that feels authentic to your book even if it may be difficult for your audience using Veronica Roth's Allegiant. Here's an article where she talks about her ending:- Salon.com Veronica Roth Article “I killed the beloved hero of my books, and reader reactions were intense.

Happy New Year! You still can't beat up or hit on your students! 

Should you fear God? Should you have a name? Should you talk to adults?

The Drunk Guys fear running out of beer this week when they read Insurgent (Divergent Book 2) by Veronica Roth. They don't run out of: Juice Machine by Treehouse, JJJuice Projects by Treehouse, Hyperfocus by Grimm, We Ourselves are Strange and Unusual by Front Porch Brewing, and Spiked Sparkling Coconut

No other genre has been influenced by the emergence of YA fiction quite like dystopian literature. In this episode, Megan and Emily join Ian to compare recent dystopian contributions aimed at young adults like Divergent and The Hunger Games to 20th century classics like 1984 and Lord of the Flies.
