ACOFAE Podcast Presents: The Raven Scholar: "Everything is important!"

When was the last time you were able to really sink your teeth into a fantasy? When was the last time you were really and truly surprised by a plot twist? Be honest. It may have been a while. The Raven Scholar is something that you can really sit with and reread. Laura Marie reread it 4x for this episode! Welcome to a fantasy that is enriched by the audio experience, that has footnotes, and contains a plot that is so expansive and detailed that even after 4x, Laura Marie is sure there are things she's missing. A book that has haunting the narrative down to a tee, The Raven Scholar combines plot lines into a story that has religion and belief warring with ambition and scheming. Truly, The Raven Scholar is a delight from start to finish. Jessica Marie was able to read through the book once, and the differences in reading experiences makes the conversations delightful.

"Bullies are just men who don't know they are cowards."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: Mockingjay Part 1 - The movie: "Everything old can be new again...like democracy."

Remember when watching this movie was a form of escapism? Remember when the concept of the Hunger Games was horrifying and parents were up in arms? Remember all that? Good. Watch it again. ACOFAE is continuing the watch of The Hunger Games series with the third movie, Mockingjay: Part 1. Filled with a cast that is beyond talented, Katniss is struggling with her new life in District 13, after she was rescued from the Games. Peeta is a hostage of the Capital, and is not doing well and Katniss has to rally the people for revolution. With propos. That she isn't very good at. What follows is Katniss' journey of working through the scheming and the politics of 13, dealing with Snow and his cruelty, and figuring out her place in this new district. Hoorah?

"Not one to waste it in rehearsal."

ACOFAE Podcast Presents: SPECIAL EPISODE 25: Our new friend, A. T. Qureshi!

ACOFAE welcomes award-winning and USA Today, Times, and Amazon bestselling author A.T. Qureshi to the podcast to chat about all things Starshine Valley! A.T., Jessica Marie, and Laura Marie are focusing on book three in the series; Baby Dragon Bookshop, but the interconnectedness of all of the books in the series is discussed as well as the organization and writing process of all three! Each book is set in a season and it's delightful to read a Baby Dragon Bookshop in the middle of winter! Cozy is the name of the game, as our enemies-to-lovers, Emmy and Luke, are coffee shop owners competing for a new business venture inside the local bookshop. They have a bit of a history and Emmy is determined to keep everything professional and win win win! Luke remembers everything and has never forgotten Emmy. Shenanigans ensue and everything is complicated by family dynamics, baby dragons, and expectations that can seem overwhelming. Full of joy A.T. takes Laura Marie and Jessica Marie though her process, her inspiration, and gives a few hints about the next release in this series: Rider of Dragons out in August 2026!
