This episode of the Fully-Booked: Literary Podcast kicked off, as always, with what's on our nightstands. Shirin had her hands on Phantasma, a book that had been hyped all over, but halfway through, she was feeling let down. The Southern Gothic mood is solid, but the story lacks that punch. The tasks and trials within it are underwhelming, and she doesn't really care much about the characters. It's supposed to have demons, ghouls, and Hunger Games-style drama, but right now, it's all feeling kind of flat.Meaghan tried to make her feel better and pointed out that hype can do that. Sometimes a book gets treated like it's the second coming, and when we finally read it, it's just... fine. Nothing wrong with it, but nothing revolutionary either. Not all weird, sexy, haunted house books with blood dripping from the ceiling are for everyone.On the upside, Meaghan read Home Fires Burn by Canadian author Anthony Bidulka. It's the third book in a mystery series starring Mary Bell, a trans private investigator who returns to rural Saskatchewan after years away.Meaghan loved the local setting and the fact that it wasn't just another Toronto-centric story. The mystery held up, the character work was sharp, and it made her want to read the first two books in the series. Big points for regional Canadian representation and thoughtful, layered characters.Adaptations Galore: What's Coming to Screen (and Fast)The main theme of this episode was all about book-to-screen adaptations. what's coming soon, what's in production, and what we're dying to see. We decided to trade picks one by one and see who could out-excite the other.Shirin went first with My Oxford Year, a romance novel about an American woman at Oxford who gets swept up in an English romance. She loves the academia + England combo, so this one's basically catnip for her. Sofia Carson and Corey Mylchreest (from Queen Charlotte) are starring, and it drops August 1, just in time for her birthday. Perfect.Meaghan followed with the upcoming Carrie TV series. It's being produced by Mike Flanagan, and we are both expecting big things. The hope is that turning it into a series will really let the Carrie-and-mother dynamic breathe and make the emotional breakdowns all the more brutal. Whether it's set in the 70s or modernized, we don't care, we're watching.Then came The Long Walk by Stephen King, which has Shereen's husband buzzing. It's about boys forced to walk endlessly under dystopian conditions, and it's being directed by someone from the Hunger Games world. Sounds like an anxiety attack in movie form, which is exactly the vibe it's going for.Next up was People We Meet on Vacation by Emily Henry, due January 9 on Amazon. Meaghan has a thing for Henry's style. Her romances toe the line between heartfelt and funny, and while Meaghan usually likes her romance a bit darker or weirder, she makes an exception here. Shereen, meanwhile, owns three Henry books and has read none of them. We've all been there.Colleen Hoover Chaos, Creepy Thrillers, and Twisted CruisesThen came the Colleen Hoover dump. Shirin bundled three upcoming adaptations into one shoutout: Regretting You, Reminders of Him, and Verity. The last of which stars Anne Hathaway. Meaghan and Shirin are mostly excited because they love making fun of Hoover's chaotic plots and characters. Verity, they agree, is actually pretty decent. It veers into thriller territory and avoids some of Hoover's more problematic tropes. Bring on the drama.Meaghan had another creepy pick: The Whisper Man by Alex North, featuring Robert De Niro. It's about a serial killer whose crimes are mimicked years later in a small town. There's whispering through windows, eerie disappearances, and maybe even supernatural twists. Definitely on her watch list.Shirin's next thrill was The Housemaid, which she's converted her whole family into reading. It drops on Christmas Day 2025 in theaters and stars Sydney Sweeney and Amanda Seyfried. She's planning a full-on family book club around it. And yes, we'll be going to the theater over the holidays.The Woman in Cabin 10 by Ruth Ware is also getting adapted, with Keira Knightley set to star. Another thriller on a boat, another possible murder that no one believes actually happened. Meaghan's all in. She loves Ruth Ware and thinks this one, dropping on Netflix in the fall, will be a great popcorn thriller.Classics, Hunger Games, and Guillermo's ReturnOne adaptation that has us raising eyebrows is Wuthering Heights with Margot Robbie and Jacob Elordi. It's being directed by Emerald Fennell (Promising Young Woman, Saltburn), which adds some intrigue. We're not sure about the casting, but we're hoping for a bold, stylized approach.Speaking of big franchises, Sunrise on the Reaping, the new Hunger Games film, is set for release on November 20, 2026. Shirin thought the book was just okay, but still wants to see how it plays out on screen. The movies have been consistently stronger for her.The adaptation Meaghan is most pumped for? Frankenstein by Guillermo del Toro, coming in December. She's obsessed with his visual style and monster-love storytelling. We both agree that this needs a theatrical release. If Netflix keeps it streaming-only, it'll be a crime against cinema. Between Oscar Isaac, Jacob Elordi, and the gorgeous design we expect from Guillermo, this could be a showstopper.Narnia, Dragons, and So Many MoreShirin ended her list with The Magician's Nephew, the first (chronologically) in the Chronicles of Narnia series, which Greta Gerwig is adapting. It hits theaters November 26 and drops on Netflix Christmas Day. The casting so far includes Daniel Craig and Emma Mackey, and we're just plain curious how Greta will spin this origin story with no wardrobe in sight.And finally, we both agreed: even though there's no release date, trailer, or cast announcement, we're putting Fourth Wing on the list. It's happening. Michael B. Jordan's studio owns the rights, and we're already imagining which actors will ride which dragons. Shereen joked about dressing her cats up as dragon characters, because obviously she would.Wrapping It Up: Why We Care (And You Probably Do Too)In the end, what made this episode fun wasn't just listing off every adaptation under the sun; it was talking about what these projects mean to us. We all love books. We all get burned by them sometimes. But when a book we adore gets picked up for a screen version, the anticipation is unmatched. And the potential for disappointment? Sky high. We live for it.We get excited about who's cast. We argue about whether the setting is true to the book. We dream about what could be, and sometimes we cringe at what we get. But that's part of the joy. These adaptations connect us to stories in new ways and give us reasons to revisit the books, or finally read the ones we've been avoiding.So here's to the next three years of adaptation madness. Keep building those watchlists, plan some book-to-movie nights, and maybe even read the book before the movie drops. It just makes everything better. See you next week for one last episode in this month-long adaptation celebration.

✦ The Most Wuthering Heights Day Ever is dancing into its 10th year in Atlanta on Saturday, July 26, in Candler Park. City Lights Collective member, Chantelle Rytter, has more on this odd Atlanta tradition that brings Kate Bush and Emily Brontë fans together in a public dance. ✦ Today marks the 5th anniversary of Congressman John Lewis' death. Lewis dedicated his life to advancing the cause of freedom and equality in America and was a towering figure in our country's struggle for civil rights. He inspired countless people, including the band members of the Cabbagetown band, Evan Stepp & The Piners. They recently released a single titled "Good Trouble," and Evan joined us recently to share the story behind the song. ✦ The West End's Portrait Coffee is hosting an event this weekend called "A Place to Play," and City Lights Collective co-host Jon Goode recently sat down with co-founder Marcus Hollinger to learn why play is not a game. ✦ Today, we trace the history of one of Atlanta's most nostalgic institutions: the Science & Technology Museum of Atlanta, or SciTrek. From its grassroots beginnings to becoming a downtown sensation, SciTrek brought science to life for a generation. City Lights Collective member, podcaster, and self-proclaimed history nerd Victoria Lemos recently traced SciTrek's journey through civic politics, fundraising highs and lows, and the love Atlantans still have for the museum today. If you grew up here (or wish you had), this nostalgic deep dive is for you. ✦ You know as well as we do that there is always a plethora of things to do in Atlanta, and we have earned the title of "The Cultural Capital of the South." Mike Jordan, senior editor at the AJC, and Sammie Purcell, associate editor at Rough Draft Atlanta, know this well too. They join us weekly to share a few of their picks for your weekend entertainment. ✦ ATL Comic Convention is this weekend, and a couple of the stars from the hit saga "Twilight" will be in town to participate. WABE arts reporter Summer Evans spoke with two of the vampires—actors Kellan Lutz and Jackson Rathbone, or for you fangs out there, that would be Jasper Hale and Emmett Cullen, ahead of their appearance at the Georgia World Congress Center.

In this week's episode of The Learning Curve, co-hosts Alisha Searcy and Helen Baxendale of Great Hearts Academies interview award-winning English historian and biographer, Dr. Juliet Barker. She offers a rich portrait of the Brontë family, whose timeless contributions have widely impacted English literature and fiction writing. Dr. Barker explores the formative influences of their father, Patrick Brontë, an Irish Anglican minister with deep intellectual, religious, and educational convictions that shaped his family's writing, and their tight-knit, creative environment in Haworth that inspired his gifted literary daughters Charlotte, Emily, and Anne. She delves into Charlotte's drive for self-improvement, the enduring power of her novel Jane Eyre, and its themes of independence, love, and social criticism. Dr. Barker discusses Emily's affection for nature, reclusive personality, and the intense emotional landscape of her novel, Wuthering Heights. She also explores Anne's gentle, strong-willed temperament, her novels Agnes Grey and The Tenant of Wildfell Hall, and their groundbreaking critiques of women's prescribed roles and the hypocrisies of 19th-century society. Dr. Barker shares insights about the tragic deaths of all six Brontë siblings, including Branwell, the family's son. She concludes the interview by discussing the sisters' lasting legacy as great literary women who revolutionized Victorian fiction and whose works continue to resonate with modern readers across the globe. In closing, she reads a passage from her definitive biography The Brontës.

In this episode, the midpoint of Hot Heath Summer, we zoom in on our favorite bat-wielding, head-bashing bullheaded bri'ish boy Heathcliff, (or at least, look at the first half of his art, with the rest coming next episode) and ask a question that is fairer and kinder to him than anyone has been to him in his life: Why they always gotta make him either sad or stupid? A lot of the time, he's both!  Like I know he's Heathcliff from Wuthering Heights but why's he gotta be so bad and sad at nail sharpening?

A few days after his fight with Cathy, he spent the whole night walking on the moors, and he returned with a strange almost happy persona. He told Nelly that he spent the whole night on the threshold of Hell, but that he has now seen heaven. He refuses all food and insists to be left alone, to have the Wuthering Heights to himself. He seems to have seen a figure infront of him and even conversed with it. Heathcliff's behaviour became more strange; he murmured Catherine's name and insisted that Nelly remember his burial wishes. Nelly soon found him laying in the bed in Catherin's room dead. She tells Lockwood that he has since been buried and that Cathy and Hareton shall soon be married, and then shall move to the Grange. Lockwood then leaves the Wuthering Heights and makes his way toward the church yard. Although many of the villagers claim to have seen Heathcliff and Catherine's ghosts walking through the moors, Lockwood insists that he can only imagine quiet slumbers for the people buried in such quiet earth.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Emily Bronte's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this compelling gothic books classic.

The theatre director Emma Rice is renowned for her bold stagings of much-loved films and books including Brief Encounter, Wuthering Heights and the Red Shoes. For twenty years she worked as an actor, director, and eventually artistic director of Kneehigh, an international touring company based in Cornwall, known for its energetic productions with an inventive use of music and puppetry. In 2016, Emma became artistic director of Shakespeare's Globe, the reconstructed Elizabethan theatre on the south bank of the Thames - although her tenure there ended after two years following disagreements with the board.

On his journey he crosses paths with a farmer who remarks a cart that is apparently too late for its harvest. The man also mentions Gimmerton, which reminds Lockwood of his time at the Grange, and he decides to visit for the night and see Nelly, and also settle his debts with Heathcliff. He discovers that Nelly is no longer at the Grange and has been moved to the Wuthering Heights. He decides to head to the Heights while the sun is still up where he talks to Nelly about the past few months. She says that Cathy admitted to her that she felt guilty about mocking Hareton for his attempts to learn to read. One afternoon, Hareton was wounded while hunting and had to remain inside at the Heights. He and Cathy fought at first, but they soon agreed to get along, and Cathy even promised to help Hareton read properly. The two young people have slowly grown to love each other, and Nelly says that she cannot wait for the two of them to marry.

Heathcliff returns and on entering the house, mutters quietly to himself that he he can only see Catherine Earnshaw's features in his face - so much so that he can hardly bare to see him. Lockwood passes a dreary meal with Heathcliff and Hareton and then leaves. Riding back to the Grange, he remarks on how dreary the North and its people are. He thinks further of what a "Fairy Tale" it would have been, had Cathy fallen in love with him, and left the Heights with him for London.SEO Stuff that I don't want to do lol...Welcome to this narration of Emily Bronte's masterpiece, bringing you another chapter of this compelling gothic books classic.

Send us a textToday Ashley and Liz are setting the stage for our mini episode series about the infamous 50 Shades of Grey trilogy which starts this Friday and continues on for five episodes, including the original three books, a surprise bonus book, and a wrap up episode covering the movies and all of our final thoughts! But today, buckle up for a spoiler free episode all about… ROMANCE NOVELS! The genre that changed the game for publishers… for readers… for writers… and for women. We've never read this series and want to examine it through a certain lens - what exactly did this series do for the genre as a whole? And who paved the way to make Fifty Shades of Grey a mainstream romance sensation? We take you wayyyyy back to the “first” romance novel, explore the OG pioneers of the genre, explain what defines a book as “romance” in the first place, and delve into how the content and themes have changed over time, influencing literature of ALL genres. We discuss the different evolutions and iterations of these books primarily written by women, for women, and how despite the success, popularity, and numbers to back it up… the romance genre is repeatedly labeled as “less than literature” or reduced to “chick lit.” We want to (NEED TO) talk about why.And don't worry, even though it's a little heavy, we still have a faves and fails and smash or pass, romance edition! Check out this author interview! | Callie Hart NYT Bestseller Author of Quicksilver! | https://youtu.be/CED5s7qDBdQ?si=8xtIRO1IzX6Rsld4Shop bookish apparel worn in this episode!Ashley is Wearing: ACOTAR Valkyrie Tee from @thebeanworkshop | Use code: BOOKBESTIES10 to save!  | * https://thebeanworkshop.store/products/to-the-stars-who-listen-and-the-dreams-are-answered-tee-shirt?_pos=9&_sid=823f6afe6&_ss=rLiz is wearing: “If You Want to Save Animals, Stop Eating Them” Baby Tee from @dont.eat.the.homies | https://donteatthehomies.com/products/save-animals-teeAny link with an * is an affiliate link through the service Magic Links and is eligible for a commission to us with no extra cost to you.

When Wuthering Heights was published in December 1847, many readers didn't know what to make of it: one reviewer called it ‘a compound of vulgar depravity and unnatural horrors'. In this extended extract from episode three of ‘Novel Approaches', Patricia Lockwood and David Trotter join Thomas Jones to explore Emily Brontë's ‘completely amoral' novel. As well as questions of Heathcliff's mysterious origins and ‘obscene' wealth, of Cathy's ghost, bad weather, gnarled trees, even gnarlier characters and savage dogs, they discuss the book's intricate structure, Brontë's inventive use of language and the extraordinary hold that her story continues to exert over the imaginations of readers and non-readers alike.To listen to the full episode, and all our other Close Readings series, subscribe:Directly in Apple Podcasts: https://lrb.me/applecrnaIn other podcast apps: https://lrb.me/closereadingsna Hosted on Acast.

In 1936, Merle Oberon became the first Asian woman–and person of color–to receive an Oscar nomination for best actress. She was nominated for her role in The Dark Angel and later starred in films like Wuthering Heights. But Oberon kept her mixed-race, South Asian heritage a secret, passing as white for her entire career. Mayukh Sen tells this story in Love, Queenie, the first biography of Oberon. In today's episode, Sen speaks with Here & Now's Deepa Fernandes about prejudice the actress faced during her upbringing in India, the role men played in her career, and the elaborate stories she told to keep her identity a secret.To listen to Book of the Day sponsor-free and support NPR's book coverage, sign up for Book of the Day+ at plus.npr.org/bookofthedayLearn more about sponsor message choices: podcastchoices.com/adchoicesNPR Privacy Policy
