Bookish Turn Offs and What to Do about Them

from Unabridged: A Book Podcast

In this Unabridged podcast episode, we're discussing some bookish turn offs we each have and when it's worth it to push past those turn offs (and when to accept them and move on!). We discuss tons of books including some of our collective favorites like John Boyne’s The Heart’s Invisible Furies, Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See, and Alan Gratz’s Refugee. While we each have different turn offs, we all agree that there are certainly things that attract us and repel us when it comes to choosing books, and it's fun to discuss what those are!   Bookish Check In Ashley - Abi Daré’s The Girl with the Louding Voice Jen - Eowyn Ivey’s The Snow Child Sara - Riley Sager’s Lock Every Door   Books Mentioned Gillian Flynn’s Gone Girl Miranda Popkey’s Topics of Conversation Kate Quinn’s The Alice Network Martha Hall Kelly’s The Lilac Girls Hanya Yanagihara’s A Little Life John Boyne’s The Heart’s Invisible Furies Alice Sebold’s The Lovely Bones Alice Sebold’s The Almost Moon Alice Sebold’s Lucky Paula Hawkins's The Girl on the Train Blake Crouch's Dark Matter Tatiana de Rosnay’s Sarah’s Key Markus Zusak’s The Book Thief Anthony Doerr’s All the Light We Cannot See Janie Chang’s The Library of Legends Ruta Sepetys’s Salt to the Sea George Takei’s They Called Us Enemy Georgia Hunter’s We Were the Lucky Ones Alan Gratz’s Refugee   Give Me One - A Show to Binge Jen - Locke and Key (book), My Brilliant Friend (book) Sara - Broadchurch, Cheer Ashley - Schitt’s Creek   Interested in what else we're reading?

This Impact Studios production is a collaboration with the Governor family, UTS Faculty of Law and Jumbunna Institute for Indigenous Education and Research.The Last Outlaws teamKatherine Biber - UTS Law Professor and Chief InvestigatorAunty Loretta Parsley - Great-granddaughter of Jimmy Governor and the Governor Family Historian Leroy Parsons - Governor descendant, Narrator and Co-WriterKaitlyn Sawrey - Host, Writer and Senior ProducerFrank Lopez - Writer, Managing Next Generation Energy Systems Cambridge University Background Stakeholders working with energy systems have to make complex decisions formulated from risk-based assessments about the future. The move towards more renewables in our energy systems complicates matters even further, requiring the development of an integrated power grid and continuous and steady transformation of the UK power system. Network flows must be managed reliably under uncertain demands, uncertain supply, emerging network technologies and possible failures and, further, prices in related markets can be highly volatile. Mathematicians working with engineers and economists, can make significant contributions to address such issues, by helping to develop fit-for-purpose models for next generation energy systems. These interdisciplinary approaches are looking to address a range of associated problems, including modelling, prediction, simulation, control, market and mechanism design and optimisation.
