The hype from SDCC and Maude’s interview with Andy Weir has garnered new fans of the source material and will likely be a hit for Amazon, MGM Studios, and Sony Pictures Entertainment.

‘Divine Rivals’ Adaptation Moving Forward At Paramount
Amid the ACOTAR series adaptation falling through and Rebecca Yarros’ Empyrean series still in pre-production, Paramount has acquired the rights to the Letters of Enchantment Romantasy series Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross.
‘Onyx Storm’ Map of the Isles Breakdown
We know our Fantasy readers LOVE maps.
The first half of Onyx Storm by Rebecca Yarros was a whirlwind of information. Some of the names being thrown around were overwhelming because some of us are visual people. Attempting to link the names to isles or even riders to dragons was difficult. However, once Yarros breaks it down in the second half of the book as they travel to each Isle in search of the irids, things become easier.

Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Under the Whispering Door’ by TJ Klune
We have all enjoyed his writing, and now we have decided to read Under the Whispering Door as a light bonus book for June. The term “light” is used loosely because Klune has a way of making everyone emotional.
For those who have read The House in the Cerulean Sea or have Under the Whispering Door on their TBR come and join us this month as we read it together!
What is The Stormlight Archive by Brandon Sanderson?
In case you didn’t know Maude Garrett has been a HUGE fan of his series and we’ve even covered Mistborn for book club. The Way of Kings has been on her TBR for years and she thought it would be a great idea to start this series with our wonderful community. The book was published in 2010 and has 1001 pages. We decided to split this book into two months so everyone has enough time to read it for their leisure.
Sanderson novels are filled with adventure, but there is something special about the Stormlight Archive.
The ‘Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow’ by Gabrielle Zevin Has Found Its Director!
Maude Garrett even interviewed her and told Zevin how much this book affected her. It’s a beautiful novel that many readers didn’t expect to love as much as they did. Zevin’s writing is a gut punch to the soul as she crafts a stunning relationship between two people.
Paramount Studios had acquired the rights to the book in 2021 before its publishing date in 2022. It has taken quite a bit of time to develop everything, news broke out over the weekend that has fans of the best-selling novel soaring.
Bonus Book of the Month: ‘Ruthless Vows’ by Rebecca Ross
Earlier this year MBC chose to read Divine Rivals by Rebecca Ross in February!
The story between Iris Winnow and Roman Kitt placed our readers in a trance. The love letters expressing their innermost thoughts and feelings were magical.
