![]() ![]() ![]() And finally, I get to talk to you which is great. ![]() ![]() We’ve been looking forward to this conversation and all kinds of things happened. And so will you welcome Jasmine as we talk about shame? I am so excited to bring back to the podcast one of my favorite people, Jasmine Holmes. But first, we’re actually going to introduce you to another book that is recently launched by one of my favorite people, Jasmine Holmes. So our launch team has really loved how we covered that in She Deserves Better, and we want to fill you in on that too. Later in this podcast, we’re going to be filling you in on the definition of two terms that keep coming up in our launch team. So check out the link in the podcast notes where you can get She Deserves Better early. There is a ton of preorder bonuses if you want to get it early including a free copy of the audio version when that lands, I think, probably around the middle of May. There are lots of cool charts and diagrams. And then you actually hold it, and it’s like, “Oh, it’s like a legit, big book.” And we know that there are a lot of words. And we have the book actually, finally, in our hands. Sheila: We are in the middle of our launch for She Deserves Better. And I am joined today on episode 186 of Bare Marriage with my daughter, Rebecca Lindenbach. I’m Sheila Wray Gregoire from where we like to talk about healthy, evidence-based, biblical advice for your marriage, parenting, and your sex life. Sheila: Welcome to the Bare Marriage podcast. ![]()

![]() ![]() The protagonist, Bernadette Eleanor, is a wildly talented middle-aged architect illustrator who seems to have lost her creative mojo after moving from New York to boring suburban Seattle. With all the artistic madness, genius plotting, and bold social observation that made Bernadette a hit, TODAY WILL BE DIFFERENT is a hilarious and heart filled day-in-the-life romp filtered through Maria Semple's brilliant eyes.ĭEJA VU, so much deja vu.This is a (sort of) sequel to Where'd You Go Bernadette, and there are several similarities between the two. (It's true that it's Eleanor's fault: She did put makeup in his Christmas stocking.) Just when it seems like things can't get weirder or more in the way of Eleanor's personal transformation, a graphic memoir called The Flood Sisters surfaces, and the dramatic story it tells reveals long-buried secrets and a sister to whom Eleanor never speaks. ![]() Eleanor's husband is missing, and their son, Timby, is wearing eye shadow to school and getting into fashion battles on the playground. ![]() But then, as it always does, life happens. Meet Eleanor Flood, who wakes up one day determined to be her best self.Įleanor Flood is going to clean up her act, only change into yoga clothes for yoga, which today she will actually attend, and be a better version of herself. The new novel from Maria Semple, author of bestselling Where'd You Go, Bernadette and writer for hit US TV shows Ellen and Saturday Night Live. ![]() ![]() This refreshing love story may not be peppered with steamy sex scenes, but readers who enjoy a good old-fashioned fairytale will find this unusual contemporary spin on true, lasting love deeply satisfying nevertheless. In this suspenseful romantic fairytale the author keeps us guessing whether the charming prince will be able to successfully woo the princess after all (certainly she won’t give up her chastity for him!). Someone Else's Fairytale Nobody's Damsel The Hunt for the Big Bad Wolf. ![]() ![]() No virgin himself, Jason is soon hooked on Chloe but realizes that the usual tactics won’t work only patience, trust, and friendship (not charm, money or fame) will win her heart. While media hounds follow the couple, hoping for a romantic tryst, Chloe and Jason become fast friends, with Chloe setting the sexual ground-rules. But during a chance encounter on the movie set, the lovely but low-key Chloe nevertheless catches the handsome star’s eye. Despite her dramatic past (she was also born out of wedlock when her mom was just 17 years old), Chloe is practical, forthright, and down-to-earth-so much so that when Hollywood hotty Jason Vanderholt (also originally from Albuquerque) returns to town to film a movie, she’s unimpressed. Chloe is also a virgin (and intends to keep it that way), who as a child was a victim of a violent crime. ![]() ![]() ![]() This poignant, intimate, and hilarious memoir explores Shonda’s life before her Year of Yes-from her nerdy, book-loving childhood to her devotion to creating television characters who reflected the world she saw around her. Shonda knew she had to embrace the challenge: for one year, she would say YES to everything that scared her. And then, over Thanksgiving dinner, her sister muttered something that was both a wake up and a call to arms: You never say yes to anything. With three children at home and three hit television shows, it was easy for Shonda to say she was simply too busy. So who would suspect that Shonda Rhimes is an introvert? That she hired a publicist so she could avoid public appearances? That she suffered panic attacks before media interviews? Her iconic characters live boldly and speak their minds. ![]() She’s the creator and producer of some of the most groundbreaking and audacious shows on television today. “As fun to read as Rhimes’s TV series are to watch” ( Los Angeles Times). ![]() The instant New York Times bestseller from the creator of Grey’s Anatomy and Scandal and executive producer of How to Get Away with Murder shares how saying YES changed her life. ![]() ![]() Casino Royale was first in 1967, starring David Niven in what was considered the ultimate spy spoof produced by Columbia Pictures.

Eon Productions, run by Albert “Cubby” Broccoli and Harry Saltzman, purchased the rights to the entire James Bond story from Fleming in 1961, and with Casino Royale not included in that sale, the two had to settle for Dr. Plus, Fleming had sold the movie rights of Casino Royale to producer Gregory Ratoff in 1955. Hollywood executives saw the character as “too British” and scandalous, so money did not come easy. No was first in line to actually be filmed, however, due in large part to budgeting reasons. Casino Royale was written by Fleming in 1953, followed by Live and Let Die and Moonraker. ![]() The order of the 007 films do not follow the correct order of Fleming’s novels. ![]() ![]() He was 8 when he wrote his first symphony. ![]() They had poor lodging, had to contend with bad weather, and had to wait months to be compensated by the rulers for whom they performed.
