										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Article contributed by Simone Richter</strong></p>
<p>Get ready for <em>Shipped</em> by Meredith Tate, a swoonworthy and hilarious rom-com! Some of you might have already realised from the name alone: yes, it is absolutely nerdy. It’s a book about fandom and everything that comes with it, and the geekiness is highlighted by the delightful protagonists Stella and Wesley, who might have an intense enemies-to-lovers situation going on IRL, but online they are having a soft online-friends-to-lovers moment going on. Be sure to get <em>Shipped</em> as soon as it releases on May 18th because it is utterly delightful. Before the big release, we were lucky enough to talk to Meredith Tate herself about all things <em>Shipped</em>, nerdiness, and BOOKS!</p>
<h6><strong>There is a lot of nerdiness in <em>Shipped</em>! Are you a Nerd yourself or Comic Con Enthusiast?</strong></h6>
<p>I am definitely a huge nerd, which was part of my inspiration for writing this book! Like Stella and Wesley, I, too, have had my heart broken by beloved shows canceled too soon (or shows that crash-landed their endings). I’ve been so invested in certain fandoms that it starts to feel personal to me, and that’s what I wanted to show with Stella and Wesley’s story. They feel a deep connection to these fictional characters and their story, which mirrors the personal connection I have felt to so many shows, books, and movies over the years. Cons are so much fun, and I can’t wait until we can all attend them again! I’m dying to put together a Captain Marvel cosplay!</p>
<h6><strong>Since both main characters in <em>Shipped</em> are very much invested in it, what are your thoughts on fanfiction and fanart?</strong></h6>
<p>I LOVE fanfiction and fanart! Fanfiction is a great place to explore different tropes, ask “what if?”, and give your favorite characters the endings and subplots they deserve. It can be so fun to look at a fandom and ask, what if this minor character got their moment in the spotlight? What if these two characters I ship actually ended up together? What if this show wasn’t in outer space, but took place in my home town? How would the story have changed if this one element had been different? What would have happened in the story if this show I love had had one more season? It’s also just genuinely good fiction and often a great read! I’ve definitely turned to fanfiction while mourning an end to a series I love. Fanart is also a great way to make a tribute to a fandom you love, and while I have no artistic talent whatsoever, I always enjoy browsing fanart other people draw of my favorite characters.</p>
<h6><strong>Stella and Wesley come from a different social and financial backgrounds, was there a reason for that?</strong></h6>
<p>I really wanted to examine the role that financial and class privilege plays in academic success. Getting top grades in high school is <strong>so</strong> hard, no matter who you are, but it’s definitely harder when you live in a tiny apartment and have to work at an after-school job and worry about your family’s ability to pay rent, medical bills, etc. While upper-middle-class Wesley certainly has a lot to deal with at home, and his life is far from perfect, there are certain struggles related to poverty that Stella has to work through every day <strong>in addition to her schoolwork</strong> that he is completely oblivious to. If Stella had the same advantages as Wesley, would their paths look different? I wanted to explore this on the page.</p>
<h6><strong>What was your favourite thing about writing <em>Shipped?</em></strong></h6>
<p>This is such a hard question! For starters, I’ve always wanted to write an enemies-to-lovers romcom, and I had <strong>so</strong> much fun writing the banter and prank war between Stella and Wesley. I also really enjoyed coming up with the plotline for Warship Seven and having the relationship in the show mirror Stella and Wesley’s relationship IRL—it was almost like a puzzle for me, fitting the two storylines together. Finally, I had it in my head from the beginning that I really wanted to write a cosplay masquerade scene, and a big prom night scene, so I had so much fun writing both of those!</p>
<h6><strong>What are you hoping will readers take away from Stella and Wesley’s story?</strong></h6>
<p>More than anything, I hope it makes readers smile and think fondly of their favorite fandom!</p>
<h6><strong><em>Shipped</em> is your fifth book and the first one that comes without a list of content warnings. What made you want to write this book?</strong></h6>
<p>It was an interesting tonal shift for me for sure! I think usually as an author I gravitate toward darker, grittier stories—Shipped is my first “lighter” book. But I feel like there’s been so much darkness in the real world the last few years, with Shipped, I really just wanted to write a fun escape that could hopefully make readers smile.</p>
<h6><strong>How was your writing experience different than when you were writing YA thrillers?</strong></h6>
<p>I think in Shipped, I was able to explore my sense of humor a bit more on the page. With a thriller, I map out the whole plot ahead of time to make sure all the plot points line up at the end, and I am very focused on what I am revealing when. With a romcom, the plot hinges on developing the relationship between the two main characters, so I had a bit more flexibility to focus on learning about them and exploring their world. I let Stella and Wesley show me where they wanted their story to go. Halfway through writing it I thought, “you know what would be funny? If Stella was working at the ice cream parlor and Wesley showed up to troll her and she messes with him a bit.” And so I wrote that scene! It was fun to take a different, less stringent approach to outlining. Both thrillers and romcoms have their own challenges, and it’s been fun to challenge myself as an author to expand my craft and try different things.</p>
<h6><strong>Are there any 2021 releases that you are personally looking forward to?</strong></h6>
<p>So many! I loved Rosaria Munda’s FIREBORNE so I’m super excited for the next book in her trilogy, FLAMEFALL. I am also super psyched for Erin Craig’s SMALL FAVORS, Lauren Blackwood’s WITHIN THESE WICKED WALLS, Joan He’s THE ONES WE’RE MEANT TO FIND, and Leah Johnson’s RISE TO THE SUN. I also need to read THE HAWTHORNE LEGACY immediately after that cliffhanger in THE INHERITANCE GAMES so if September could get here ASAP that would be great.</p>
<h6><strong>Are you working on anything new that you can already tell us about?</strong></h6>
<p>I’m between books at the moment, so I’ve been dabbling with a few different stories. Nothing close to finished at the moment, so I’ve just been enjoying writing!</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Article contributed by Simone Richter</strong></p>
<p>Stella Greene and Wesley Clarke have one goal: they both want to become their high school’s valedictorian. Not only because the winner gets bragging rights, but because they also receive a scholarship to university, which both Stella and Wesley desperately want.</p>
<p>When they are not trying to outdo each other academically or are busy with the epic prank war they have started between them, both Stella and Wesley (respectively) spend their time fangirling over <em>Warship Seven</em>, a sci-fi show that had been cancelled after its first season. The fandom, though, is very much alive. With comic con on the horizon, they meet on an online forum and hide behind aliases while getting to know each other better than they ever did offline. The question is, will they be able to keep their online connection alive IRL?</p>
<p>This reviewer is very much a fan of everything nerdy and comic con-y, so it is not surprising that I was absolutely stoked to find out that this book exists and even more excited when I got to read this early. There is not a single thing I did not love about this book.</p>
<p>Stella and Wesley are fantastic characters and I enjoyed both of their POV’s immensely. It was so enjoyable how there is more to them that meets the eye (obviously) and that the other one slowly gets to figure that out. Their banter was fantastic and their prank war was nothing short of hilarious. Was it juvenile? Yes. Was it unnecessary for these two high achievers to go there? Yeah, but damn if I didn’t love every single second of it. It made both characters seem less serious, which was such a lovely aspect seeing as their mind was otherwise pretty occupied by the battle about becoming valedictorian.</p>
<p>Tate wrote two such relatable characters with so many facets that they made this story come alive and I enjoyed everything about them meeting in the Warship Seven fandom quite a bit. Trust and believe me that I would be in that fandom as well if it existed. I loved how Stella is unapologetically feminist and tells more than one mansplainer to f*** off and I was just sitting here, snapping in support. Wesley is what I think could be described as a “cinnamon roll” hero and I personally love him 100%.</p>
<p>The writing itself is fantastic as it is written in a way where you want to go on and on without the writer having to use cliffhangers at the end of chapters to keep the reader’s interest going. You genuinely just want to stay in that world, especially if you are into fandom yourself as there is a lot of talk about fanfiction and fanart and I felt right at home. Honestly, when I finished, I contemplated starting right over again.</p>
<p>I can just wholeheartedly recommend this book to anyone who loves YA, anyone who loves a healthy dose of enemies-to-lovers, a bit of fandom and a lot of feels. I simply can’t wait to see what Meredith Tate does next.</p>
<p><em>Shipped</em> is available from <a href="https://amzn.to/3r4Y9LR" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/Shipped-Meredith-Tate/9781984813527" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Book Depository</a>, and other good book retailers, like your local bookstore, as of May 18th 2021.</p>

<p><strong>Synopsis | <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/55851824-shipped" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Goodreads</a></strong></p>
<p>Can two IRL enemies find their happily ever after online?</p>
<p>Stella Greene and Wesley Clarke are Gene Connolly Memorial High School&#8217;s biggest rivals. While the two have been battling it out for top student, it&#8217;s a race to the bottom when it comes to snide comments and pulling the dirtiest prank. For years, Stella and Wes have been the villain in each other&#8217;s story, and now it&#8217;s all-out war.</p>
<p>And there is no bigger battle than the one for valedictorian, and more specifically, the coveted valedictorian scholarship.</p>
<p>But Stella and Wes have more in common than they think. Both are huge fans of Warship Seven, a popular sci-fi TV drama with a dedicated online following, and the two start chatting under aliases&#8211;without a clue that their rival is just beyond the screen. They realize that they&#8217;re both attending SciCon this year, so they plan to dress in their best cosplay and finally meet IRL.</p>
<p>While tensions at school are rising and SciCon inches closer and closer, the enemy lines between Stella and Wes blur when a class project shows them they might understand one another better than anyone else&#8211;and not just in cosplay.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><em>The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly</em> follows a pair of siblings over the course of a tragic weekend where loyalties will be questioned, and no one can be trusted. In a world where intentions are twisted and everyone has a motive, can Autumn survive a prison of her own making?</p>
<p>Older sibling Autumn is a rebel, sells drugs, and disappears at all hours of the night, all to avoid her father and stepmother Kathy. She is determined to make a better life for herself and leave her tragic life behind, if only she can stay out of jail for long enough to graduate high school.</p>
<p>Ivy feels like she doesn’t know her own family. Since her mother died, her father has remarried and withdrawn from the family while her older sister, Autumn, has deliberately been getting in trouble. She spends her afternoons playing board games with friends and having a secret crush on her best friend. But when Autumn goes missing, Ivy refuses to believe she is simply hiding out for a few days. Intent on discovering the truth of the matter, no stone will be left unturned until the mystery of Autumn Casterly is solved.</p>
<p>So, starting out, this novel has a very high school feel to it. Everything is all about parties, friendships, and hiding the truth of who people really are. Opening on Autumn, there’s raids of school lockers and shady drug deals, while from Ivy’s perspective it&#8217;s all sunshine, lollipops, and board game fun. It felt just a little strained and cliched until a few chapters in when everything starts to change. After a deal at a party, Autumn has the spotlight thrown on her for a burglary gone wrong, a crime she hasn’t committed. But shortly afterwards, she goes missing with the entire town ignoring that there is a problem because surely this disappearance isn’t any different from every other time Autumn has run away?</p>
<p>Once the narrative really gets moving, Ivy will stop at nothing to find her lost sister despite the criticism from everyone she knows. Having an older sister myself (one who I don’t particularly spend a lot of time with but I love her anyway), I found the character of Ivy mostly relatable – no I don’t get along with said sister all that well, but like hell I’m not trying to find her if she falls off the face of the earth.</p>
<p>So, what is the vibe of this novel you ask? It’s kind of like that Reese Witherspoon movie where she’s in a coma and haunts Mark Ruffalo, but the characters aren’t adults, someone’s been kidnapped and instead of being destined for romance, it’s a dark mystery. The scenes where Autumn dissociates from her surroundings and instead stalks Ivy to find clues were well done and the invisible bond between siblings was a creative twist that I felt fit easily into the narrative. Instead of directly guiding her, Autumn acts kind of like Ivy’s intuition in parts, allowing the reader to be fully engulfed by the story rather than being pulled out by a farcical notion.</p>
<p>This novel also has some very dark themes to it. Along with discussions about and a character selling drugs to minors, Autumn Casterly bridges familial breakdown, slut shaming, physical and emotional abuse, and lastly, contains references to and depictions of rape. If you are looking for a light contemporary, this is not the book for you. If you don’t mind some heavy themes and discussions about real world occurrences, I would highly advise you to read this beautifully crafted work of fiction.</p>
<p>Lastly, I want to bring up the afterword of the author. In a letter to the reader that takes several pages, the author Meredith Tate explains her reasoning for writing this emotionally charged novel. She speaks of abuse, the need for better understanding of rape victims and the cover-ups that frequently occur in society by perpetrators and their family/friends. Not only is the novel written well, but Tate’s additional content brings to light the terrible circumstances in which many find themselves when questioned by authorities. If the reader takes nothing else away, I would hope they read this letter and realise that sometimes people need to see outside their own narrow viewpoint and be the change the world needs.</p>
<p>So, in a nutshell, <em>Autumn Casterly</em> is a well written and insightful look into the plight of a teenage girl who has endured so many wrongs it has changed her for life. It’s a discussion on what it means to be a teenager in a modern world that discriminates against people it views as ‘wrong’. But it&#8217;s also an amazing tale of familial bonds and the strength that even the smallest of us can show in the face of adversity. If you are a fan on dark contemporaries, such as <em>Roam</em> and <em>We Were Liars</em>. If these aren’t your preferred genre, I would still recommend you take a look, it may just change your mind.</p>
<p><em>The Last Confession of Autumn Casterly</em> is available from <a href="https://amzn.to/2SzCJqa" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Amazon</a>, <a href="https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Last-Confession-of-Autumn-Casterly-Meredith-Tate/9781984813497/?a_aid=thenerddaily" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Book Depository</a>, and other good book retailers.</p>

<p><strong>Synopsis | <a href="https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/45725976-the-last-confession-of-autumn-casterly" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Goodreads</a></strong></p>
<p>When band-geek Ivy and her friends get together, things start with a rousing board game and end with arguments about Star Wars.</p>
<p>Her older sister Autumn is a different story. Enigmatic, aloof, and tough as nails, Autumn hasn&#8217;t had real friends&#8211;or trusted anyone&#8211;in years. Even Ivy.</p>
<p>But Autumn might not be tough enough. After a drug deal gone wrong, Autumn is beaten, bound, and held hostage. Now, trapped between life and death, she leaves her body, seeking help. No one can sense her presence&#8211;except her sister.</p>
<p>When Autumn doesn&#8217;t come home, Ivy just knows she&#8217;s in trouble. Unable to escape the chilling feeling that something isn&#8217;t right, Ivy follows a string of clues that bring her closer to rescuing her sister&#8230; and closer to danger.</p>
<p>Autumn needs Ivy to find her before time runs out. But soon, both sisters realize that finding her also means untangling the secrets that lead to the truth&#8211;about where they&#8217;re hiding Autumn, and what Autumn has been hiding.</p>
