The conservation story of Canada's polar-vortex-loving Wood Bison is one of colossal mistakes, stacked odds, and (to our gleeful surprise) hope and optimism. These animals have survived drowning, disease, and hybridization, and have gone on to... success? Allan explores this topic in today's episode.

The wonderful Rena Rossner joins us to talk about how she wrote her debut YA crossover novel, THE SISTERS OF THE WINTER WOOD (Orbit, 2018). Rena has so much wisdom to share about writing the book only you can write, why novels in verse are so powerful, and writing scenes out of order. We also go into her submission story -- which includes getting to acquisitions *twice* with no success -- and the struggle of writing her second book, THE LIGHT OF THE MIDNIGHT STARS (Orbit, 2021).

He loves the Expanse series, Game of Thrones, Peter F. Hamilton, Jeff Vandermeer, and Neal Stephenson. He’s also likes NK Jemison’s series and Octavia Butler. Any ideas for some new author or series? Thanks so much! -Melanie 2. I would love some great winter fantasy books to curl up with over this holiday season. Living in Florida I don’t really experience a winter unless I travel, which is obviously not happening this year, so I get all of my snow feels from books. I loved Katherine Arden’s series and I already have Sisters of the Winter Wood on my TBR. I lean towards fantasy, but if you have a great sci-fi rec then that would be awesome too! Thanks so much, y’all are amazing! -Liza 3. Hi, This year for Christmas, my sister and I are buying each other books so she’s writing in to When in Romance to request a recommendation and I’m writing into y’all. I’m looking for something in the vein of Orphan Black, Ex Machina, Dollhouse and the Villains duology by V.E. Schwab. The best way I can think of to describe is: amoral people doing kind of terrible things in the name of science that brings up questions of humanity (but isn’t that just all sci-fi?) Anyway, I’ll put a link to my goodreads at the bottom but it’s kind of a mess so here’s a quick(ish) rundown: I think the only ones already on my radar are Gemsigns and Jurassic Park (even though it’s dinosaurs and not humans, I’m gonna give it a go.) Books I’ve read that seem like they would fit here include: -Never Let Me Go – tbh I probably would have liked this better if it had followed the people that ran the school instead of the kids. -Island of Dr. Moreau – obvious OB connection and it’s been years but I remember loving it. -Frankenstein and Brave New World – putting these together because both of them just weren’t what I was expecting, if that makes sense. -Mila 2.0 – again it’s been years and I remember it being fine but it was the same situation as Never Let Me Go. -Crystal Books Recommended The Poppy War trilogy by RF Kuang (trigger warnings: basically all of them, it’s really brutal) The Green Bone saga by Fonda Lee (Trigger warnings: mentions of sexual assault, suicide and self-harm) Girls Made of Snow and Glass by Melissa Bashardoust Spinning Silver by Naomi Novik Gemsigns by Stephanie Saulter The Psychology of Time Travel by Kate Mascarenhas (tw: self-harm, disordered eating, hazing) Vita Nostra by Marina and Sergey Dyachenko, translated by Julia Meitov Hersey The House in the Cerulean Sea by TJ Klune (tw: child abuse) Black Sun by Rebecca Roanhorse (tw: harm to children, graphic violence) Cemetery Boys by Aiden Thomas (tw: transphobia) Vagabonds by Hao Jingfang, translated by Ken Liu (tw: reference to suicide) The Empress of Salt and Fortune by Nghi Vo The Down Days by Ilze Hugo (TW: child abuse/death; CW: drug addiction, fatphobic language) Woven in Moonlight by Isabel Ibañez Riot Baby by Tochi Onyebuchi (all the trigger warnings) See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Religience is a podcast where Religious and Science topics are turned into stories that help the listener learn more about the topic. Though many today like to think of Religion and Science as opposing each other that is not the case. Both play a vital role in society and each can balance the other so that neither one "goes off the rails." In the Religience podcast you will hear a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and a Science Teacher sharing the truths that he has learned to love from his religious and science background. Listen in for a celebration of truth and the methods by which truth is obtained.

Subscribe to the podcast via RSS, Apple Podcasts, Spotify, or Stitcher. FEEDBACK Strange the Dreamer by Laini Taylor (rec’d by Stephanie) Commencement by J. Courtney Sullivan (rec’d by Elizabeth) Tell Me How You Really Feel by Aminah Mae Safi (rec’d by Khadija) The Artist’s Way by Julia Cameron (rec’d by Aleks) QUESTIONS 1. Greetings, and thanks in advance for expanding my already out of control TBR list! A friend and I just booked a two-week trip to South Korea for early November (leaving 11/3), and I want to do as much research as possible before I go, because I am SUCH a Hermione. I’m looking for books, fiction or non-fiction, that will provide me with context about the culture, history, food, traditions, and/or landscape of South Korea. I already have Wicked Fox and Pachinko on my list. What else can you recommend that will help me learn as much as I can? I’ve never been anywhere in Asia, and I’m so excited to go. My wheelhouse is pretty broad–I’m a fan of contemporary fiction, sweeping generational sagas, YA, and sci-fi/fantasy (though I’m not so much into high fantasy). For non-fiction I especially love reading memoirs, especially by women and comedians (Bossypants and “Are you Hanging out without Me?” being two of my favorites) and collections of essays. Thanks so much–I love the podcast and I can’t wait to hear your recommendations. -Julia 2. Hi Amanda and Jenn! Over the summer I’ve gotten into a reading kick of books with a certain madcap flair – like everything is bonkers but we’re going with it plotlines. I think Amanda’s recommendation of The Affair of the Mysterious Letter by Alexis Hall is what set me off so I wanted to ask for more please! Other books I’ve read in this vein would be: The Parasol Protectorate by Gail Carriger, Good Omens by Gaiman/Pratchett, The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde, The Hitchhiker’s Guide by Douglas Adams – and I’m noticing a British theme here, which is fine to continue or buck! Thanks in advance. -Kelly 3. Every year for Hanukkah, I send my friend 8 e-books from Thanksgiving until the last day of the holiday. When Anna and the French Kiss by Stephanie Perkins came out, we both absolutely loved it and read the rest of the books in the series. At the time, we also liked some of the books by Rainbow Rowell. I’ve had trouble finding another whimsical, fun, romantic, but well written series that has the same energy as the Perkins’ books. Any suggestions? Thank you! -Malory 4. I am looking for a book for my mom. She really likes fiction about all kinds of sports in which characters overcome hardships and stereotypes. Which is why she loved the Dairy Queen Trilogy by Catherine Gilbert Murdock. She has now read all three books several times and can’t seem to find anything else quite like it. Can you think of anything along these lines? Thank you! All the best! -Leah 5. I’m a long time listener to the podcast and have got many many recommendations from you both over the years, but I’ve only now come up with my very own personalised request… I’ve recently realised that I read police (and private detective) procedurals as a kind of comfort read/palate cleanser/go to for when I can’t think of anything else to read, or just can’t get into any other books. I’ve read loads of Sarah Paretsky, am obsessed with Tana French and recently really enjoyed the first 2 books in Susie Steiner’s DI Manon Bradshaw series, but I’d really love some recs for this kind of thing that isn’t written by a white woman. I already have IQ by Joe Ides on my radar, have read and loved everything by Attica Locke, and have put the Widows of Malabar Hill on my TBR – do you have any other suggestions for me? Bonus points if it’s a long ass series I can really sink my teeth into and keep going back to when all is lost. I read (and write!) a lot of psychological thrillers so really don’t need any recommendations in that department..it’s police and private eyes I’m after here, I think. -Annie 6. I’m a relatively new Insider, and have been loving your podcast through the past 5 months. Thank you SO much for making my TBR list super-long, and introducing me to so many books I might never have thought to pick up. As a side effect of the Read Harder Challenge, I realized that I love books of essays (who knew?!) in addition to my known-favorites of historical fiction, fantasy, murder mystery, and literary fiction. I just finished reading “Selfish, Shallow and Self-absorbed: 16 Writers on the Decision NOT to have kids”. I had high hopes for this book as a 37 year old veterinarian who has made this decision myself, which tends not to be a popular one with family or peer-group. I was hoping to find my brethren in these essays, but sadly only felt some mild kindred spirits calling from two or three essays. I was wondering if you might be able to help me find a character who speaks to me through a novel? I will say that the “single and driven” female lead intrigues me, but isn’t me. I’m happily married to a man who also doesn’t want children. Also, I do love kids (and truly enjoy my time with my nephews and god-daughter), so kid-haters are also a strong no. Some of my favorite characters thus far have been Kinsey Millhone from Sue Grafton’s alphabet series; Lindsay Boxer from the early part of the Women’s Murder Club series by James Patterson, Claire from the Outlander series, and Jo from Little Women. Thank you in advance! -Jennie 7. I always wondered why I felt no connection to action heroines. Then I read Sabriel and realized that I prefer down-to-earth, sensible protagonists who have a strong sense of duty. Tiffany Aching is the platonic ideal of this. I also recently loved The Bear and the Nightingale. My preferred genres are science fiction and fantasy. I’ve been especially loving “domestic fantasy” lately that takes place around the home, though a good adventure across dangerous lands is always fun too. Thank you! -Julia BOOKS DISCUSSED The Hole by Hye-Young Pyun, translated by Sora Kim-Russell The Birth of Korean Cool by Euny Hong The Invisible Library by Genevieve Cogman Chilling Effect by Valerie Valdes When Dimple Met Rishi by Sandhya Menon Heroine Complex series by Sarah Kuhn The Flood Girls by Richard Fifield (rec’d by Kathleen) Check, Please!: Book 1: Hockey, by Ngozi Ukazu Shinju by Laura Joh Rowland Rachel Getty & Esa Khattak (The Unquiet Dead #1) by Ausma Zehanat Khan The Signature of All Things by Elizabeth Gilbert The Magnificent Spinster by May Sarton Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner Gods of Jade and Shadow by Silvia Moreno-Garcia The Tethered Mage by Melissa Caruso

Sisters, Poetry, a fable, mythology all rolled in to one. Love and family remembered.

On today's episode, Adam has a round table discussion with three of the best writers of modern day fairy tales. Rena Rossner, Laini Taylor, and Naomi Novik all write magical, dark and enchanting stories that many classify as fairy tales and we dive into what that definition means and why these stories mean so much to readers.  Books discussed: Spinning Silver and Uprooted by Naomi Novik The Sisters of the Winter Wood by Rena Rossner Strange, The Dreamer by Laini Taylor

You asked and we listened!

They also talk about all of the non-historical fiction titles they've been reading recently.  Books Mentioned in This Episode Pillars of the Earth by Ken Follett Varina by Charles Frazier Cold Mountain by Charles Frazier The Red Tent by Anita Diamant Shadow Child by Rahna Reiko Rizzuto The Twelve Rooms of the Nile by Enid Shomer The Summer Wives by Beatriz Williams White Houses by Amy Bloom    Allegedly by Tiffany D Jackson Pushout by Monique W Morris The Fifth Season by N.K.

"Don't Walk In Winter Wood..." Children growing up in the Village hear this warning from their parents from the time they are very young. Indeed, it seems that the wood is a dangerous place. Over the years many people have gone missing within its borders, never to be seen again. Of course, because of its dreadful reputation, Winter Wood is the subject of many legends. Some of these tales have been told in the Winter Wood region for centuries. Listen carefully, you may be the next to find yourself lost in the woods . . . Don't Walk in Winter Wood is a storytelling game of folkloric fear. Players take on the roles of hapless villagers who must enter a legend-haunted forest and uncover its sinister secrets. The game uses simple rules and a unique narrative style to help you create spooky stories with your friends.
