the hunger games

**Content Warning** In this episode, we discuss novels with a variety of themes, including domestic abuse, incest, rape, sexual assault/harassment, and toxic relationships. Please be advised if these topics may be triggering to you. 

The bookworms are back, and this time they are discussing romances that make or break books. First, though, Marissa and Megan review the books they've read in the past two weeks, including The Poppy Wars by R. F. Kuang, Iron Widow by Xiran Jay Zhao, Sense & Sensibility by Jane Austen, Elizabeth Lim's Spin the Dawn, and others.

Next, the two avid readers dive into the question of the podcast: can romance make or break a novel? Marissa starts off by explaining her own take on this question and how it lends to her reading experience. From there, the readers bring up a variety of books from Cassandra Clare's City of Bones, Sarah J. Maas' Throne of Glass, Morgan Rhodes' The Falling Kingdoms, George R.R. Martin's Game of Thrones, Cora Carmack's Roar, and others. Then, we move on to common romance tropes that ruin (or make!) a novel for us, including Accidental Pregnancies, A Love Interest Cures Trauma, and others.

From there, we wrap it up by discussing what books we're looking to read next, and we finish it off by drawing our next podcast topic.

We talk in detail about most of the books in this episode, but definitely expect spoilers for: 

• City of Bones by Cassandra Clare
• Sabriel by Garth Nix
• Dinner with a Vampire by Abigail Gibbs

Squid Game is the most watched Netflix Original Series to date. Jason Furie and Adam Roth had to climb aboard the hype-train and witness what all the fuss was about. Believe the hype, Squid Game is here and it's pretty awesome. Sure there's some obvious inspiration pulled from Battle Royale, but that's ok because this is much better than The Hunger Games. Sorry Katniss. We review all 9 episodes of this highly entertaining pop-culture phenomenon.

On May 19th Suzanne Collin's Hunger Games prequel was released and the world would never be the same. 

Panem is back (Or are we simply back in Panem?) and better(?) than ever and so are we. Who continues our streak of fucking up names? Who will get mad at a completely fictional character first? And who among us will drop a huge secret about their involvement with the Hunger Games Trilogy (saga? idk)? Who knew that stories about uprisings could be such a pleasant distraction from our current state of affairs?

Join us as we take a necessary departure from our regular schedule to "read" and discuss The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes!

Clare and Hannah talk about dystopias in literature, cinema, and real life!

Intro and outro music (“Splanchnics Riff)” composed and performed by Clare T. Walker.

Have you ever watched someone read a book you've already read? You know they're about to get to a really upsetting part, and you just can't look away? You have to see what their reaction is going to be?

In this spoiler free (as always) episode of A Book and A Dream, Megan O'Russell confesses her love of watching readers do this exact thing (i.e. Book Six of Harry Potter, that scene in Mockingjay...you know the one), and muses on why we love watching others get their hearts torn out.

In case you missed episode 11, you can find it on Megan's website (by clicking here) or wherever you get your podcasts.

The market has been high for awhile, and this causes anxiety for many investors.   Today, Amy explains how to keep market volatility in perspective, including:

• Understanding your fears
• Being aware of market influencing factors
• How to be proactive
• Remembering what you control and influence
• The bright side of a downturn (yes, there are some).
