Jac, writer and Co-Host of Book Talk for Book Tok, joins to discuss Sarah J Maas' epic hit book series, A Court of Thorns and Roses (FKA ACOTAR). 

We discuss how Jac started the series at the same time as therapy, what Feyra's relationships taught Jac about her own romantic leanings, and how romance books (and fan fiction) give women a safe space to explore and discuss their sexuality. Tangents include what women want (and how romance novels can be a guide), what the books of our youth, including Twilight and Gossip Girl, taught us about sex, and regrettably, Two Girls One Cup. 

Be sure to catch me on Book Talk for Book Tok with Amy and her co-host Jac, where we discuss the first romcom I ever made, and what Shakespeare's Hamlet means to me. 

We'll be back next week with the second part of this episode!

A Court of Thorns and Roses (ACOTAR) with Jac (Part 1)

Hockey has a long and storied history, and the Toronto Maple Leafs have been there since the beginning of the NHL. Lexi LaFleur Brown's family have been there for even longer. The sport is in Lexi's blood -- from her indigenous ancestors on the ice to her family's long standing love (and suffering) of the Leafs, there was never a moment where Lexi's life didn't include hockey.

Lexi and I discuss the three eras her life and hockey have had -- playing the sport growing up, and loving it even when she was told she didn't belong on the ice, falling in love with her husband and building a life together around his NHL career, and now, writing her own hockey romance novels in Shoot Your Shot and Evening The Score. We talk about how her life simply wouldn't be the same without the sport, how she fell in love, out of love, and back in love again with it, and how she's helping carve out a more welcoming space for new fans, too.

 Next week, Edward Schmit joins to discuss Tennis, and his new romance novel The Open Era!

Hockey with Lexi LaFleur Brown

Heated Rivalry took the world by storm over six episodes, bringing new fans to the world of hockey, and helping thousands of people all over the world feel a little more human. For Erin Cholakian, it also brought her closer to taking back her dream of being on stage. As she watched her favorite book get a rare perfect screen adaptation, she also found a new community of people online, and learned more about herself through Shane Hollander. 

Erin and I discuss how the show helped us meet and form a friendship, whether we're more like Ilya Rozanov or Shane Hollander, how reading makes us more human, and how Ilya and Shane's understanding and portrayal of trauma helps us understand our own.

Heated Rivalry with Erin Cholakian

Star Wars: The Force Awakens was the rebirth of a franchise. And this time, there was a woman at the center of it all, wielding a lightsaber and crafting a new narrative for the future. Jen Markham saw Rey Skywalker on screen, and wanted to be her for Halloween. The ensuing google helped her find forums and a community, and started a passion that would become a career: cosplay.

Jen now has millions of subscribers that tune in for her film breakdowns, cosplay creations, and sketches that she creates. We talk about how she blends sports with her fandom, including Buffalo Bills breakdowns with Grogu, what it meant to see representation on screen even as an adult, and how much one movie can change your life.

Next week's episode is Heated Rivalry with Erin Cholakian!
