Dear Literary Time-Hoppers & Story Seekers,

Greetings from the crossroads of history and fiction! Arthur Rivers here, fresh from a fascinating week at Fully-Booked where we've been exploring everything from World War II reimaginings to modern myths that shape our world. Between recording our latest podcast and diving into contemporary romance adaptations, I've found myself pondering how stories – both historical and modern – continue to captivate and transform us.

This week's narrative journey includes:

  • Our thought-provoking podcast deep-dive: "Why Can't We Stop Rewriting WWII?" (featuring some surprising insights from historians and fiction writers)

  • "Urban Legends in the Digital Age" - how modern folk tales spread from around the world to reality

  • A candid conversation about the new Colleen Hoover adaptation (and why BookTok is buzzing about it)

  • Fresh whispers from the publishing world that might become tomorrow's headlines

So, whether you're a history buff, a folklore enthusiast, or a romance novel aficionado, grab your preferred reading beverage and join me as we explore these fascinating intersections of story and reality...
