Catawampus ReadingsDragon PrinceI get the feeling I probably read this book before I was ready for it, so there were some concepts that just went right over my head. Still, it was an awesome book for 16-year-old me and an education in how other storytellers think about romance.
I think this book - this whole series, actually - handled the integration of dragons into the worldbuilding very well, but I do wonder if they might not have tried a little too hard later on to keep dragons relevant to the story, even though it was mostly political drama.

Birth Re-Imagined06. Mikki's Birth Story: Precipitous BirthOn this episode of Birth Re-Imagined, Elle and Taylor sit down with Mikki Bell, a birth doula and childbirth educator in the South Bay, where Mikki shares the birth story of her oldest child.

I really do love it, and if this isn't enough proof, then I guess I'll just make up a nice big sign. XD
The two-month hiatus was almost completely unplanned, and I suspect it was in part due to several stress factors in my life, one of which was that I had lost my buffer for the podcast and my blog at the same time. With luck, this time around we'll be a little more on top of it.

Elle is a mother of 2 kiddos, and had one midwife-attended natural birth at a birthing center, and one OBGYN-attended natural birth at a hospital. It’s a good thing Elle has a pretty go-with-the-flow attitude, because her second child was born with a congenital heart defect, which meant some big changes to her original birth plan - even as she labored!

Does the Good Outweigh the Bad?9: Kaitlyn's Sick Bars & Taylor's CattitudeIn episode 9, Kaitlyn tells the story of Gypsy Rose. This story is guaranteed to leave you frustrated and questioning why this horrific crime was allowed to go on for so many years. Taylor ends the episode by sharing some of her and Kaitlyn’s funniest experiences with zoom calls. She also talks about a few of her favorite from the internet. With each episode, and the stories we talk about, we understand the seriousness behind them.

In questo podcast vi mostreremo e racconteremo le favole più belle. Le storie d’amore di teste coronate condite da scandali e colpi di scena.

It's amazing, and I cannot recommend it enough to anyone who loves dragons and a slightly feminist look at an Edwardian worldview. It's pretty fantastic on all counts, and I've read it through three times already.
That said, there is some confusion about the different names of the months and different year numbers, as they're presented in-universe and obviously never explained because no adult in that world would need month names and year numbers explained to them. I would have preferred something a little more straightforward, but that's a...2020-07-0816 minCatawampus ReadingsDaughter of DragonsSorry if I sound a little funny today - it's been terrible for allergies recently, and I can't seem to clear my sinuses. XP
Anyway, I hope that if you have time for it, you'll pick up a copy of Daughter of Dragons by Jack Campbell. It's a fantastic book, and I really like the way the author went out of his way to let the characters have organic interactions, even where it didn't advance the plot very much. It made them feel that much more real.
If you end up reading it, let me...2020-07-0115 minCatawampus ReadingsDragonflightWelcome to the end of the hiatus! I'm mixing things up by posting this episode two weeks early for patrons! It'll take some work to keep up with it, of course, but I think it's worth it, so my lovely patrons have a little more of a reward for their loyal support.
Dragonflight is the first book in the Dragonriders of Pern series by Anne McCaffrey, and I think it's one of my favorites, in part because it is incapable of contradicting established canon at this point. (The strong female lead certainly doesn't hurt anything, though.)

Boss BaristaElle Taylor and Breezy Sanchez are Eliminating Tips [113]On May 12, 2020, Amethyst Coffee in Denver announced they would no longer be accepting tips. They increased prices 50%, and posted about their new policy on Instagram—the post got over 200 comments. The comments ranged in tone—from excited to inquisitive to downright aggressive—and almost every single comment or question was answered by one of the two owners of Amethyst: Elle Taylor and Breezy Sanchez.
In this episode, we sit down with Elle and Breezy and talk about their no-tipping policy, and ask the questions you might have. Why now, during a pandemic, would you announce a 50% price increa...2020-05-2859 minCatawampus ReadingsThe City of EmberTo anyone who likes stories about kids that act like kids but also save the world (like Harry Potter and The Books of Beginning) I would very much recommend this book. I couldn't actually finish its sequel, because I'm a biased hack, but I really liked this one.
Also, because I forgot to add my rating for this introduction into the script until after I'd already finished recording, and I knew it was too long; I'm giving this introduction a slim 4 out of 5. It does what it needs to and it's very clever about not setting up...2020-05-2716 minCatawampus ReadingsIsland of the Blue DolphinsHave you ever had a movie, book, or game that people have told you "you've got to try this" over and over, but you resisted because you were biased in some way? Or maybe it was a food that you were just convinced you wouldn't like. Or a place you never wanted to visit because people were always trying to get you to go there.
Then you finally did try it. You watched the movie or ate the food or read the book - and suddenly regretted all those times you had the chance to experience this...2020-05-2013 minCatawampus ReadingsBlack BeautyThis book has come up in discussions several times in the past, but I've never covered the introduction, so I figured this was as good a way as any to wrap up our classics series.
When I'm under pressure or when I'm feeling stressed, I'll often return to books that are familiar to me and reread them. This has made it so I'll read the Harry Potter series, The Scarlet Pimpernel, Black Beauty, and an assortment of other titles at least once a year, and I began to wonder a while back if this was just a...2020-05-1312 minCatawampus ReadingsWhere the Red Fern GrowsOr perhaps I should have called this one "where the red fern groans." Suffice to say I don't like this introduction at all, and I have very little objectivity to spare for this one. XP My biased opinions are going to get me in trouble one of these days.
That said, I would like to go on the record to say that framing sequences can be used to great effect, and I think that if this particular opening hadn't taken so long to get to the point, then it would have been a much better introduction to...2020-05-0614 minCatawampus ReadingsThe Lion, the Witch, and the WardrobeWe have finally reached the long-awaited series, though we're not digging in just yet. I intent to come back and do a mini-series on all seven books and how they contrast, but that's still on my to-do list. For now, we're just dipping our toes in with The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe.
To be honest, I read these books more for the sake of nostalgia than for the quality of narrative. I would love to go back and rewrite these, but there's a eldritch copyright beast lurking in that corner and I'm not ready to...2020-04-2913 minCatawampus ReadingsA Little PrincessWhen I was a kid, a movie based on this book was in my collection. I loved it, even though there were parts of it that honestly made me uncomfortable. Looking back at it, I think that movie actually helped me through losing my own father later on.
I didn't get around to reading the book until much later - after college, I think - and it's now one of my favorites, though it comes in well below The Jungle Book and The Secret Garden, which I like better, though I'm not entirely sure why.

If you're not aware, I'm happy to inform you that one of my favorite audiobook narrators, Ralph Cosham, has recorded a version of this book and its sequel (as well as other favorite books of mine such as The Scarlet Pimpernel, Black Beauty, and Watership Down).

Leave any disagreements or questions in...2020-04-1513 minCatawampus ReadingsOld YellerThis book is definitely going into my top 10 list for this year (so far - dun dun DUN!) just because I enjoyed all that interaction and action in the beginning, not to mention the narrative voice.
I've got a couple more books on the list for this series on classics, so there are definitely some slots left for suggested works. If you have anything in mind you'd like to see, please let me know in the comments below, or by sending me an email at inkfire.scribe@gmail.com!

I've also decided to extend this run of classic books a little, if only because it's been so fun. One of you lovely Inklings requested that I look at a sequel, specifically to see how the introduction of the second or third book in a series might accommodate for new readers in comparison to the ways video games will do the same for new players.

So it's a show?: keeping up with the Gilmore Girlsep 75: National Velvet, you have to move this stuff out of hereListen, National Velvet, you have to listen to this episode. The Kyla and The Taylor are talking THE Elizabeth Taylor in National Velvet. This movie has a lot of animal-obsessed kids, and we’re digging in to how they connect with Lorelai’s pony obsession as a kid. The Kyla and The Taylor also debate if this movie was good, the varying shades of Mickey Rooney performances, and how the decorator of the Dragonfly Inn may or may not be like THE Elizabeth Taylor in this movie.

This wraps up our Tolkien miniseries, which I thoroughly enjoyed. At some point I would love to revisit this series and perhaps poke a nose into another book, just to see how thins compare. Let me know in the comments below if you have a book or series in mind for me!
Until next week, stay awesome, my Inklings. We'll be on the lookout for books that feel like...2020-03-1112 minCatawampus ReadingsMoria and LothlorienI have developed a theory! I think (and I could be wrong) that Tolkien describes places in ways that reflect the people that interact with it, rather than in terms of the place itself. I haven't been able to thoroughly test this theory, but I feel good about it.
Maybe the appeal of forming a theory isn't in whether or not I'm right, but just in the act itself. :)
Anyway, enjoy this episode, 4 of 5 in our Tolkien miniseries. We'll be back next week for a look at the introduction to Celeborn and Galadriel, where I'll...2020-03-0415 minCatawampus ReadingsStriderI've been looking forward to this episode for a couple weeks, and I think you can probably tell by how much time I spent talking about narrative shortcuts, because this intro is just full of them!
I also want to apologize for the accent quality. I got in a rut and I just couldn't get out of it, so my character voices for this reading were Not The Best, but I'll work on it.
And, since this series has been so much fun, I think I'll extend it for another little bit - I've got...2020-02-2613 minCatawampus ReadingsFrodo and GandalfDo you want to know a secret? Come closer.
I don't like listening to myself sing.
I actually like the sound of my voice when I'm talking, and I can happily listen to my own podcast without feeling like cringing like so many people do - even those who record podcasts as part of their job. But I don't like the sound of my own singing. XP It never sounds good to me.
Anyway, I hope this episode is fun for you. It was certainly a blast for me. I'm looking forward to...2020-02-1915 minCatawampus ReadingsThe Long Expected PartyWelcome to Part 2 in our series on the introductions and beginnings in The Fellowship of the Ring by J.R.R. Tolkien. I can easily foresee 3 or 4 more episodes, concerning Frodo and his friends, Gandalf, and Aragorn at the very least. I'd also like to do an episode concerning the Council of Elrond and the scenes around it, where Frodo is meeting many new characters, and if you guys don't mind, a final episode splitting up the introductions of the Balrog in Moria and Celeborn and Galadriel in Lothlorien.
While it would be interesting to look at...2020-02-1213 minCatawampus ReadingsConcerning HobbitsBy request from one of you marvelous Inklings, we're doing a deep dive over the next few weeks into the beginnings and introductions in J.R.R. Tolkein's The Fellowship of the Ring. I'm having a lot of fun digging into this book, which isn't at all hurt by the fact that I love this book. :)
I hope you lot enjoy it as well. And remember, if you have any requests, suggestions, or points on which you disagree with me, please leave them in the comments below! I'd love to hear from you.
As usual...2020-02-0511 minCatawampus ReadingsAcorna the Unicorn GirlThis is one of my favorites from way back when, in high school when I had time to read a ton of books without resorting to audiobooks. :) Back then, I actually thought listening to an audiobook didn't count as "reading," but I've outgrown that idea.
Content Warning: This episode discusses suicide. If that's a hard topic, skip this episode and meet up with us again next week.

All told, though, I think this look at the foundation of my reading career has been eye-opening. I didn't realize the books I loved as a kid has so much in common.
