Keanu Reeves Will No Longer Star in Devil in the White City Series

Keanu Reeves has exited the Hulu series adaptation of Devil in the White City. The series, based on the book of the same name by Erik Larson, “tells the true story of Daniel H. Burnham, a demanding but visionary architect who races to make his mark on history with the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, and Dr. H. H. Holmes, America’s first modern serial killer and the man behind the notorious ‘Murder Castle’ built in the Fair’s shadow.” Reeves was to play Burnham, but now the search is on for a replacement.

Fiona Apple Writes New Song for The Rings of Power

Acclaimed songwriter Fiona Apple is back with a new song, which was written for the upcoming season 1 finale of The Rings of Power. The song, titled “Where the Shadows Lie,” was inspired by one of Tolkien’s most iconic poems, the “one ring to rule them all” verse that’s inscribed on the ring itself. To write the song, Apple teamed up with The Lord of the Rings: The Rings of Power composer Bear McCreary. “To embody these story elements into one voice is no small task, and so I am especially grateful to have collaborated with legendary singer Fiona Apple,” McCreary said. “Inarguably one of the definitive musical voices of her generation, Fiona brought new depths and narrative intention to the song.” The Rings of Power finale premieres on October 14th, but you can stream the song exclusively on Amazon Music now.

TikTok Creators Call Penguin Random House’s New Promotion Feature A Cash Grab

In September, Penguin Random House announced a collaboration with TikTok that allowed users to link to their books directly in the app. But BookTok creators are concerned about the new feature and what it might mean for the future of BookTok. Namely, how publishing companies might try to use BookTok creators without paying them for content. “Initially, I thought this new [feature] could have some utility,” says TikTok creator Hailey Thomas. “But then it felt scummy, like, not only is this giant trying to gobble up every other publisher, but now they want BookTok?”

See a First Look at The People We Hate at the Wedding

Here’s a first look at the film The People We Hate at the Wedding, based on the 2016 Grant Ginder novel of the same name. “Grant Ginder created such a fun and relatable family — with very unique, comedic ways of avoiding adult responsibility,” says Claire Scanlon, who directed the upcoming movie. “The vulnerability of his characters, so flawed yet desperately looking for human connection, very much spoke to me.” The film, co-written by Wendy and Lizzie Molyneux, follows adult siblings Paul (Ben Platt) and Alice (Kristen Bell) who reluctantly agree to join their mother Donna (Allison Janney) in England for the wedding of their half-sister Eloise (Cynthia Addai-Robinson). The People We Hate at the Wedding hits Prime Video on November 18th.

We Deserve Monuments by Jas Hammonds (Roaring Book Press, November 29)

Here’s a YA debut coming out in November that I think everyone is going to be talking about. And just look at that cover! I’m absolutely in love. Teen Vogue called this one “a gripping portrayal of the South’s inherent racism and a love story for queer Black girls.” Intrigued? Read on.

Seventeen-year-old Avery Anderson’s life is turned upside down when she’s forced to leave DC and move with her family to live with her terminally ill grandmother, Mama Letty, in Bardell, Georgia. The tensions between Avery’s mom and Mama Letty make things uncomfortable as soon as they get there, and whenever she tries to find out more about what’s going on between them, she gets turned away.

But not everything is terrible in Avery’s new life. She makes two new friends: her next door neighbor Simone Cole and Jade Oliver, the daughter of the town’s most prominent family. As the three girls become closer, Avery and Simone’s friendship starts to grow into something more. And the mystery of Jade’s mother’s death has Avery looking into the dark, racist history of Bardell. Meanwhile, Mama Letty’s health continues to deteriorate, and Avery will ultimately have to decide if her hunt for the truth is worth destroying the friendships and connections she’s built for herself in Bardell.

Game of Thrones Book Coauthors Respond to Book Boycott and Racism Accusations

Authors Linda Antonsson and Elio M. García Jr. have responded to the boycotts and uproar over their past controversial remarks. With the upcoming release of their book The Rise of the Dragon, the first volume of a visual history of the Targaryen family from George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire book series, past controversial remarks have come to the surface. Antonsson has been accused of making several racist remarks about the casting choices for House of the Dragon and Game of Thrones. For instance, of Toussaint’s casting as Corlys on House of the Dragon, Antonsson wrote that the actor was “miscast,” adding, “There are no Black Valyrians and there should not be any in the show.” Antonsson responded that it bothers her to be “labeled a racist” when she says her focus “has been solely on the world building.” She added that she has no issue with inclusive casting but strongly believes “diversity should not trump story.”

Can’t Wait for This One!

The Foxglove King by Hannah Whitten (Orbit Books, March 16, 2023)

I’ll be totally honest. It’s been a while since I’ve been super excited about a new epic fantasy series. But The Foxglove King comes from Hannah Whitten, author of For the Wolf and For the Throne. This is the first book in the Nightshade Kingdom trilogy, which the author described as “very bonkers and very fun and weirdly very funny.” Okay. Sign me up.

Ten years ago, Lore (who was thirteen at the time) escaped a cult in the catacombs beneath the city of Dellaire. For these past ten years, she has done her best to try not to be found. But that’s difficult when her death magic, called Mortem, keeps her tied to the city. To keep herself relatively safe and sheltered, she works running poisons. But after a run goes wrong, Lore’s power is revealed.

Lore is then taken by the Presque Mort, a group of warrior-monks sanctioned to use Mortem working for the Sainted King, King August. The king has a task for Lore: Entire villages on the outskirts of the country have been dying overnight, and Lore must use her magic to find out what happened to them. If she refuses, she will die. This book promises magic, forbidden romance, intrigue and more, and I’m excited to check it out!
