Music mysteries to enter to win, and don't forget to leave your lights on. This is the Get Booked podcast, a weekly show for personalized reading recommendations.

This is episode 197, and we are recording on September 10th. I'm Amanda

Nelson and I'm here with Jen Northington and we are coming to you from Book Riot. Hello.

Hello. That is all I have to say. Same. Basically same. It is Tuesday. We have nothing interesting

to talk about except books. So we'll just get straight into that stuff. Okay, so how the show works. If you're new to this show, like I said, this is a show for personalized reading recommendation. So you can send us your reading recommendation requests to get booked at bookright.com or you can drop them in the form at the bottom of the show notes on the site. If your question is time sensitive, you know, like, I need a book for my book club in two weeks, or my dad's birthday is on Tuesday, help. Then please note that in the subject line of the email, big letters, or in the first line of your request if you're using the form in the show notes, also in big letters, preferably. We might email you back if we don't, I think we're going to get to the question on time or if we've already answered it on the show. So that's why we ask for your email address. Let's see. Okay, we've got two items of feedback here and then we'll get rolling. Okay. So this is from Anonymous who says Sarah, who is asking for Regency Lesbians, says she should check out thelesbian Review.com.

They reviewed a ton of lesbian books and each has searchable tags so you can search for historical romances using their tags.

And then Kristen says a recommendation for Angela, who was looking for positive marriage portrayal.

Last year I read

Happy All the Time by Lori Colwyn. Despite the title, it's not coingly sweet or an ironic my life

slash marriage is terrible. It's about two couples who have imperfect but loving marriages and

friendships with each other. Okay, so thank you all for your feedback. If you have feedback,

I don't know that we mention this often, but if you have feedback or like you want to recommend books that we didn't recommend for questions, you can email those to us and we will include them in this section of the show. Again, get booked at bookright.com. Okay, I'm going to read our first question and then we will roll on. Our first question is from Tom, who says, I'm new to the podcast. I recently finished N.K. Jemison's Broken Earth trilogy and was absolutely staggered by it, but since then, I've been in a bit of a rut. No book seems to catch my interest, and my brain yearns for more broken earth. I'm looking to light the spark again so this rut doesn't continue into the upcoming semester of my English MA. It would be a shame to read Jane Austen in this state. I've always been a fan of sci-fi fantasy, but I think the main reason I fell in love with Gemison's writing was more to do with her wonderful character work and narrative structure, and the complexity of the mother-daughter relationship at the center of it. Okay, Jen's going to tell us about our first sponsor, and then away we go. And I think y'all are going to be very excited about this. Lee Bardugo, who has been recommended on this show, oh, you know,

once or twice, has her very first adult novel coming out from Flatiron Books on October 8th. It's
