Has anyone else heard about what's going on with this? I know Children of Blood and Bone bounced around from Disney/Lucas Film before settling with Paramount and now the author basically is disowning the adaptation, won't be promoting it or seeing it. Sounds like there was BTS drama, possibly to do with one of the lead actresses. Thoughts?

Edit: Thanks for all the comments btw. I just really wanted everyone's thoughts and opinions on the matter at hand. I am in no way trying to call out Paramount or the actors, nor necessarily the author. Her behavior is a little odd considering the circumstances. I have definitely seen other authors call out or disparage film adaptations (i.e. Stephen King, Ursula Le Guin, to name a couple) of their work. However, that was once the film/project was OUT. Obviously, we don't know what happened behind the scenes but hopefully the truth does come out. I really want the film to do well, as it means the chances of more sci-fi fantasy BIPOC or Indigenous American projects might get a chance to come to the big screen or small screen.

I'm about to start rereading and finally finishing the Lore Olympus series with my book club, and then I'm hoping to try and do a full review and discussion on my blog. I did make a post for vol 1 and vol 11, but those forums don't seem to get much attention, so I thought I'd try here too, but if that's annoying, I totally understand.

I know people have some really strong feelings about this series, and almost nobody is ever just meh about it - you'll either hate it or love it. I know some people have thoughts on the characters, retelling style, and the writing, so I'd really love to hear what you all think of it, especially because I know there will have been things that I've missed in the past, and I'd really like to try and analyse or at least pay more attention to them when I do a full series reread.

When I did a post recently about the series we were voting on for my book club, I saw that a lot of people have opinions about the series, so I'm really curious to hear what everyone has to say - whether it's positive or negative!

Heya! For the librarians or librarian adjacent among us, I recently renewed or joined the ALA as a supporter. I previously had an account set up through my original email account that was linked with my student email but I lost access. So I created a new account with a different email address and just rejoined the ALA, as well as a couple other sub divisions - including the PLA and YALSA as well as some roundtables. My question is should I include this on my resume? Or should I wait until I actually do something within these organizations and roundtables? Any advice would be helpful, as I hoped rejoining would help me better my chances at getting a job and also gain access to more resources to revitalize my knowledge on librarianship. Thank you for any advice

Just started Days at the Morisaki Bookshop, and it already feels like a warm cup of coffee on a quiet morning. ☕📚
