Podcasts about wizard's guide

It's not hoarding if it's pretty books! This is a show many months in the making! Turns out coordinating a podcast with someone in Australia is not as simple as you would think. But it finally worked out and here we are!  I wanted to talk to Sara because she runs a fairly awesome bookish community that would've been wiped from existence if she didn't raise it from the ashes. And now, it's alive and thriving and about 200 people strong.  In this episode, we're talking about monthly book subscription boxes, special edition books and how they appeal to the collectors in us, and of course, the discord that brings it all together.   Check out below for all the info we discussed! If I missed anything, reach out and let me know and I'll update it.  Until next time! Links and Info Discussed Here are the links where you'll find the top 4 monthly book subscriptions we discussed. If you're really curious, every site has a catalog/past book database where you can see the offerings they've had in the past. If you want to really dive into it and have more questions, the link to the discord is below. Every subscription is going to have a waitlist you have to sign up for, some of which could be as short as a few weeks to as long as 10 months. So keep that in mind! Fairyloot Illumicrate Owlcrate The Bookish Box Fourth Wing was brought up a lot. So you can find more info on the book itself right here.  If you want to check out all the absolute madness that happened when it first came out, along with the first run copies that were going for over $500 (you know, the one I could've bought for $15 but I cancelled it..) Then go ahead and check that out right here.  Bonus: Here's a really good round up on all the special editions of Fourth Wing that are out there! (For reference, the 3 that I have are the holiday edition, Waterstones', and Fairyloot's) And here is Sara's Fourth Wing collection!  Sara mentioned a copy of Daughter of the Moon Goddess by Sue Lynn Tan that she just HAD to have, despite it being in Italian, a language that she does not even SPEAK. If you want to check out La figlia della dea della luna and see if it's worth it, you can do so here.  We discussed Sword Catcher by  and how superior Illumicrate's version of the book was (the version Sara has) when compared to Fairyloot's version (the one I had). If you want to see the difference, then here is Illumicrate's, and here is Fairyloot's.  Here are our Top 5 Books of the Year! After editing the show, I realized that maybe I should've gone with books that actually came out this year, as oppose to books I've read since some are a few years old. But too late now! Here they are, along with the books that we did not like! Sara The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (by S.A. Chakraborty) Bonesmith (by Nicki Pau Preto) Sword Catcher (by Cassandra Clare) Divine Rivals (by Rebecca Ross) Yellowface (by R.F. Kuang) Silver in the Bone (by Alexandra Bracken) (did not like) Los The Adventures of Amina al-Sirafi (by S.A. Chakraborty) (freaking READ IT!) A Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking (by T.

Schwab) The Jasad Heir (by Sara Hashem) (did not like) Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow (by Gabrielle Zevin)  (did NOT like)   Lastly!

Another show, another Al Look, I'm not going to gloat or make a big deal here, but this show is out EXACTLY when I said it would be out! And it's right on time with when my player said to expect my next episode. Sorry, this may seem like small potatoes to people but it's a big deal in my book! But enough about me, what is going on this week?! I had the pleasure of having Al back for another show! He is one half of The Retro 'Rents, and if you don't know him, the links are below. This episode we were both catching up with a lot of off time. Both his and my show were on hiatus' and we discussed the reasons behind that. How life has just been relentless with keeping us busy and away from the microphones. But if I had to choose a central theme for the show, it would be books. We got into the conversation about reading and it just went on from there. Lots of recommendations were given (and linked below) and I have zero regrets. It was a great time as always when chatting with Al and I'm glad he stuck around for another show. Which btw, I know I said in the intro I'm going to put together his episodes, but I back tracked on that and now you'll be getting two shows with Al instead of one. You're welcome! Until next time! Links and Info Discussed The Book of Choyer - YouTube channel featuring Total War cinematic battles and Warhammer lore. Total Warhammer 3 - Al's current gaming obsession Who is Brandon Sanderson? Great article about Brandon Sanderson, his secret projects and how they shattered the record for the highest contributed Kickstarter, and why he refused to sell them on audible. More on why Brandon Sanderson is such a force in the fantasy genre. From Sanderson's site - What is The Cosmere?

In this episode, Colleen and Robyn sit down with Brett Bevell. Reiki master Brett Bevell is author of several books, including Psychic Reiki, The Wizard's Guide to Energy Healing, The Reiki Magic Guide to Self-Attunement, and Reiki for Spiritual Healing. Brett is also a pioneer in the field of energy healing apps, first exploring this concept in 2013 through his book New Reiki Software for Divine Living, and now offering his energy healing work through the Soulvana App by Mindvalley. Since receiving his Reiki master initiation in 1995, Bevell has dedicated himself to discovering new Reiki techniques that work collaboratively with the higher self. These simple techniques are not only highly effective, but also shift Reiki into a practice of daily living that can transform even the most mundane aspects of our lives into works of healing. Brett's clients include several Hollywood stars and screenwriters, and he is publicly endorsed by Carrie Ann Inaba from ABC's Dancing with the Stars. Also, a poet and performance artist, Brett is author of America Needs a Woman President, and America Needs a Buddhist President, a poem that initially aired nationwide on NPR's All Things Considered. Bevell has electrified audiences around the world with his live oral recitations, and he has often been compared to the late poet Allen Ginsberg. Bevell's poetry is featured in the anthology Chorus: A Literary Mixed Tape and he performed with Saul Williams and Aja Monet at Joe's Pub in New York City as part of the book's release. Bevell's work is also part NPR's permanent website archives. 01:07:11 - Brett will be sending Psychic Reiki for 15 minutes.

Hugo and Nebula Winning author and artist Ursula Vernon, along with her alter ego for adult readers T. Kingfisher, chats with Gary about the comfort of reading historical romances and horror fiction that doesn't seem too close to home, the classic fantasy of Robin McKinley and Terri Windling, and the sometimes arbitrary distinctions between adult and kids' literature, especially given the occasional disconnect between who buys the latter and who reads it. Books mentioned include: The Wizard's Guide to Defensive Baking by T. Kingfisher (forthcoming) The Twisted Ones by T. Kingfisher The Hollow Places by T. Kingfisher Swordheart by Ursula Vernon The Damar Series by Robin McKinley Deerskin by Robin McKinley The Wood Wife by Terri Windling Scary Stories to Tell in the Dark by Alvin Schwartz
