When I did series 4 with Shareen Costello, I had her keep Miss Foster's sonic pen at the end of Partners in Crime, which would subsequently go on to come in handy a few times afterwards. Would any of your OCs keep the sonic pen after the whole Adipose situation is resolved? I know Alex has her sonic necklace, but would your RTD-era OCs get to keep the sonic pen for themselves?

I definitely think at least one OC will end up keeping the sonic pen. I can see Abby getting it and even Shareen, so those two at least we can look forward to getting their own sonic device!

This Chick Read: Adult Assembly Required by Abbi Waxman

This Chick Read: Adult Assembly Required by Abbi Waxman

After recovering from a debilitating car accident, Laura Costello moves across family to get away from her over protective family. After barely moving in, her apartment burns down and she gets caught in a downpour outside a bookstore in Larchmont Village, a community located in the heart of Los Angeles. She meets the ladies in the bookstore, Nina, Liz, and Polly, and they take her in. Polly…

[sarahmichellegellarnews]

Written by Charmelo and Snyder, Other People’s Houses (based on the book by Abbi Waxman), which has a script commitment, is described as a suburban dramedy, somewhere between Big Little Lies and Catastrophe. It is the story of nine people… living on a bucolic street… in the quiet, affluent neighborhood of Larchmont Village in Los Angeles. Using the lens of social media, our characters navigate their way through emotional ups and downs, as they try to figure out their lives as partners, parents, friends, and neighbors. And in the middle of the block — and the center of the drama — are our two main characters, two mothers (one stay-at-home, one working) Frances Bloom and Anne Porter, played by Gellar.

Charmelo, Snyder and Gellar executive produce with Meron and his producing partner Mark Nicholson.

She also promises more news about “Sometimes I Lie” will be coming soon.

Short Take: Adult Assembly Required

This is one of those books, one of those reading experiences, that I wanted to curl up in and live in. I didn’t think Abbi Waxman could top The Bookish Life of Nina Hill, but with Adult Assembly Required she returns to Larchmont and her quirkily endearing cast of characters and just completely melted my heart. We meet Laura in the opening pages, a recent transplant to L.A. for grad school. After an unsuccessful job interview, an apartment fire, and a freak rainstorm, she dazedly wanders into Knight’s Books in Larchmont, and is immediately taken in hand by Liz, Polly and Nina. Between the three of them, they dry her off, offer her fresh clothes and, in Polly’s case, a place to live. The boarding house Polly takes her to is the kind of place we all wish we could land when life is being unkind. A lovely room for affordable rent (doesn’t that sound like a dream these days?) in a beautiful home in a gorgeous neighborhood with a spectacular garden, good food, and good-hearted (and one particularly handsome) residents. Honestly, it’s the LA equivalent to Penelope’s Gloucestershire cottage in The Shell Seekers. 

But even more than the cozy setting, Laura’s emotional arc throughout the book is what caught at my heart. Waxman is deft at portraying mental health with compassion and Laura is no exception. We soon come to realize why Laura left New York and each new friend she makes, all dealing with their own particular humanity, supports her gradual journey towards acceptance and growth. Waxman has a hefty dose of cheekiness in her humor that balances the heavier moments in her narrative. One of my favorite reading experiences is coming across an author who articulates a truth you recognize but haven’t quite put words around for yourself. In these pages that happened again and again as I would be laughing one moment and underlining the next. While it’s not necessary to have read her other books to enjoy Adult Assemby Required, if you have, you’ll be glad to see some old bookish friends again. An excellent addition to any summer reading pile!

I READ A BOOK: “The Bookish Life of Nina Hill” by Abbi Waxman

Every so often it’s genuinely nice to read something fun and light. Enough with the dour period dramas! Down with the violent murder mysteries! Romantic comedies exist in book form, if you didn’t already know, and there is no better example out there than Abbi Waxman’s latest novel The Bookish Life of Nina Hill.

Nina Hill has the perfect, solitary life. She lives alone with her cat Phil. She works in a quaint bookstore in Larchmont Village. Her daily life is immaculately structured in her day planner, including calculating the time it takes to walk to and from spin class, and she is intensely devoted to her trivia team. She is an only child, is currently single, and is perfectly comfortable with both details.

All this changes when she is visited at work by a lawyer with distressing news: her father, whom she never met, has passed away and has included her name in his will, along with a shocking amount of family members she never knew existed. As she deals with the sudden appearance of her new family - including a delightful gay nephew, a supportive half-brother, and a suspicious niece who believes Nina to be a con artist - she also finds herself attracted to Tom, a member of a rival trivia team. Suddenly, her oh-so-comfortable single life is turned on its head, and Nina isn’t sure she has the patience to deal with it all.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill was a treat. Waxman’s writing is incredibly witty, with perfect imagery and relatable situations. Nina’s penchant for dropping useless trivia information at inappropriate times was both hilarious and a little too close to home. Waxman also does a great job at developing her characters, especially Nina’s extended family, although I found their dialogue to sound a little too similar after a while. Nearly every character in Waxman’s story is gifted with witty dialogue and perfect zingers, which doesn’t always reflect well with reality. But that’s not why I read the book, so it’s a complaint I’m happy to let slide.

The Bookish Life of Nina Hill was a delightful read, a perfect book to read by the pool or curled up in bed. Even though it wasn’t the type of pageturner that I usually race through, I was always in a good mood whenever I picked it up to read more.

The Grammarians Reviewed

Novelist Cathleen Schine has the gift of wearing her intellectuality lightly. Since 1983, she has launched one sharply comic novel after another — about mutating female friendships, academic pomposity, foolish old men who trade in their old wives for spiffier models, and grown children who fret over their aging parents. Schine enriches each of these modern scenarios with literary prototypes that include Gustave Flaubert, Jane Austen, Charles Darwin and Denis Diderot. The wonder is that none of these references weighs them down.

The Grammarians, Schine's 11th novel, is about two language-obsessed sisters — identical twins whose bible is Webster's New International Dictionary, Second Edition, which their adoring father, a philosophically inclined accountant who loathes numbers, buys for them when they are small.

Growing up in Larchmont, N.Y., the freakishly precocious redheads, Daphne and Laurel Wolfe, share a private language, a passion for abstruse words (like "oxters," meaning armpits) and a fascination with the nitty-gritty of English usage. Their intensity intimidates their mother, who encourages them to watch television, because "What kind of child befriends a dictionary and tries to take it to bed with her so it will have someone to talk to?" she asks. On rainy days, she entertains them with the soundtrack of My Fair Lady, which her "two little Professor Higginses" adopt as their family songbook. "Words, words, words, words!" they chant, along with "Why can't the English teach their children how to speak?"

In relaying Daphne's and Laurel's life stories, The Grammarians diagrams the sentence that is twinhood. The girls branch out from identical outfits and inseparability to a mischievous switcheroo (à la Shakespeare) in which they swap jobs for a day, with lasting consequences. Competitiveness spreads like a toxic mold over their relationship. "You're a better me than I am," Laurel tells her sister after their job switch, before adding silently, "But I'm a better you than you are."

As both Wolfe twins find their calling writing about English grammar, the parallels with Esther Pauline "Eppie" Lederer and her twin sister, Pauline Esther "PoPo" Phillips — better known as the advice columnists Ann Landers and Abigail Van Buren — become more pronounced. Like Ann and Abby, Schine's twins are sticklers to a literal fault. They, too, feud publicly in their competing columns and suffer a lengthy estrangement. In a further nod to Ann and Abby, Schine names Daphne's daughter Prudence, after the Dear Prudence advice column formerly penned by Ann Landers' daughter, Margo Howard.

Daphne becomes "a language scold" dubbed the People's Pedant, while Laurel argues that informal English isn't wrong because language is a living, mutating organism. Their rift, nominally over divergent attitudes toward grammar and usage — defined by linguists as prescriptivism versus descriptivism — is really over carving separate identities. Schine conveys fond respect for both sisters, much as she empathized with both the grown-up children and the aging parents in her previous novel, They May Not Mean to, but They Do.

This tale of twins who "elbow each other out of the way in the giant womb of the world" is smart, buoyant and bookish — in the best sense of the word.

This isn't the first time Schine has nailed the push and pull of sister relationships: The Three Weissmanns of Westport (2010) was fueled in part by "sororal rage." But The Grammarians tackles tight kinship head-on and cleverly demonstrates how Laurel and Daphne embody the conflicting definitions of "twin" from Webster's cited in the novel's epigram: As a noun, it means a couple or a pair, while as a verb, it can mean to part, sever or sunder.

I should say that I may well be an ideal reader for this book. Or correct that: My sister and I, though not twins, may well be among its ideal readers, along with, perhaps, essayist Anne Fadiman, who has written memorably about restaurants in which she can't read the menu for the typos. But I'm sure there are a lot of us out there — irrepressible copy editors for whom the difference between "I only have six eggs" and "I have only six eggs" is the difference between poverty (nothing but six eggs!) and an omelet limited to six eggs. Among this book's many delights: Daphne's rant about the phrase "nearly ten women." Was that nine and a half women, she wonders, or nine and three-quarters?

While not as moving as Schine's last novel, The Grammarians is filled with delightful zingers. Each chapter is headed by a definition from Samuel Johnson's A Dictionary of the English Language. "Bookish," we learn from one of his entries, "is generally used contemptuously." This tale of twins who "elbow each other out of the way in the giant womb of the world" is smart, buoyant and bookish — in the best sense of the word. - Heller Mcalpin NPR

Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Taking part in a Mommy Blogger in a New Present

Paul Archuleta/FilmMagic Buffy’s bought a brand new gig.  Sarah Michelle Gellar is starring in and government producing a possible new collection, and based mostly on the outline, we will want it in entrance of our eyeballs instantly. The present, at the moment in growth at Fox, is an adaptation of the ebook Different Folks’s Homes by Abbi Waxman, and it is created by Ringer creators Eric Charmelo and Nicole Snyder. Different Folks’s Homes is described as “someplace between Massive Little Lies and Disaster,” which is sort of sufficient proper there to make us need it. The present is about 9 individuals who dwell in Los Angeles’ Larchmont Village and can navigate “the emotional ups and downs of being mother and father, companions, neighbors, and mates,” via the lens of social media, per THR.  Gellar’s character is a mother and social media influencer named Anne Porter who’s on the heart of the drama that kicks off the entire story, which seems to contain an affair. Waxman’s ebook was launched in April of 2018, so it is the right alternative to honor/skewer these influencers who at the moment rule over Instagram. Since Buffy the Vampire Slayer resulted in 2003, SMG’s final large common TV position was on The Loopy Ones, although she usually lends her voice to animated exhibits and starred within the ill-fated Merciless Intentions pilot in 2016, in addition to the CW’s Ringer in 2011. She additionally appeared within the finale of The Massive Bang Concept earlier this yr. Different Folks’s Homes is at the moment only a pilot in growth, and Fox has a script dedication. The Lee Daniels drama Our Sorts of Folks, which can be based mostly on a ebook, can be being developed for Fox’s 2020 schedule.  Gellar posted the information of the pilot on Instagram on Thursday.  “I am so excited to lastly inform everybody that I’ll be re-teaming with Nicole Snyder and Eric Charmelo (and partnering with the incomparable Neil Meron) on a brand new challenge, set on this planet of social media. Massive issues to return!!” she wrote.  Allow us to all simply pray to the social media gods that this present will get sufficient likes to sometime make it to our televisions.  https://www.eonline.com/information/1067283/sarah-michelle-gellar-is-playing-a-mommy-blogger-in-a-new-show?cmpid=rss-000000-rssfeed-365-topstories&utm_source=eonline&utm_medium=rssfeeds&utm_campaign=rss_topstories The post Sarah Michelle Gellar Is Taking part in a Mommy Blogger in a New Present appeared first on Kartia Velino. https://kartiavelino.com/sarah-michelle-gellar-is-playing-a-mommy-blogger-in-a-new-show/

How will Alex react to Sutekh's reveal in The Legend of Ruby Sunday? Granted, the Doctor's first encounter with Sutekh was long before she met him, but would she be savvy enough to know that he's bad news?

Sutekh's return inspired me to revisit The Pyramids of Mars. That story took place in 1911, two years before Abby Larchmont met the Doctor. As she was alive and around in that time, would she have heard about that story's event, perhaps reading about the Priory burning down in the paper or something? Maybe her parents knew the Scarman brothers?

Alex will have heard of Sutekh before, yes. I actually want Sarah Jane to be the one to have told her about it, during a wine night where they’re both reminiscing on past adventures and trying to top each other with the wildest ones they can think of.

Having said that, Alex will believe Sarah Jane’s account of the Doctor apparently destroying Sutekh, so it will never occur to her that he could be the One Who Waits until the final reveal. After that, well… 😬

Ooh, I didn’t realize that! Great catch! I can definitely see Abby reading about the Priory burning down, though I’m not sure if her parents would know the Scarman brothers. Maybe it’ll come up in Abby’s series!

[darksideofparis]

Now that Dot & Bubble has come and gone, and left quite an impression in it's wake, what's your view on the episode and how would your OCs react to the episode's events?

I can promise that all of my OCs will HATE Lindy, lol, no worries about that.

It will be especially interesting for my historical OCs (Abby, Ava, Esme, Julia, and Lizzy) since they come from time periods that we think of as having rampant racism and where it wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for the OCs themselves to be racist - but they’re not. Each of them, before ever coming into contact with the Doctor, are kind and compassionate to everyone around them, regardless of skin color, religion, etc. So, to see these people in the far future behaving in such a way… It’s shocking and appalling, as it would seem to them such bigotry would be a thing of their time periods, something that went away as society progressed, but unfortunately that’s not the case.

It will probably hit even harder for Ava, who is part Latina and has her own experiences with racism.

For the rest of my OCs, expect a lot of shock, rage, and getting of revenge. Alex for one and Shareen may just go after a certain blonde with a baseball bat…

Lol, sorry for the rant, but as you can see, that episode pissed me off and it will be reflected in my writing!

I was at a model railway exhibition a few weeks ago and a highlight was a layout called Copenhagen Fields which depicts the area just to the north of London King's Cross station in the 1920's/30's. Since Abby Larchmont is from London in the early 20th century, would she recognise the area? I doubt she'd recognise the trains, as the majority of them are from after she meets the Doctor, but would she recognise the area itself?

I think Abby would recognize the area, yes. She'd probably be very interested in exploring it during Martha and Donna's time, just to see how much has changed and if anything has stayed the same!

Regarding Abby Larmont and her time at Farringham school, what will he relationships with the people there be like? I know that she'll befriend Martha and fall for John Smith, but how will she get on with other people, like the headmaster and the boys?

So, since Abby is a member of the upper-class (her father being a highly respected lawyer, her mother the youngest daughter of an earl), there will be a bit of distance between her and most of occupants at Farringham. This is a very class-conscious society, so other than Martha (who doesn't give a shit) and John Smith (who is absolutely besotted), Abby doesn't really have a lot of friends at the school. Everyone is far too respectful/leery of her higher station to get chummy with her. It's a bit disappointing to Abby, but it's something she's come to expect.

With the boys, the younger ones, like Timothy Latimer, quickly grow fond of her and her caring nature. The older ones are respectful, but wary since some of them end up on the receiving end of her temper (after they make the mistake of insulting/mistreating Martha).

The headmaster is much the same way, but Abby can't stand him, lol. With him, she has no qualm about using her higher social standing to try and execute some changes in the school, something Rocastle isn't exactly happy about!

Hi, so I read your Doctor Who OC list and I was wondering, with some of them who appear around the time Martha travels with him. How will Rose react when she sees the Doctor with your OC creations?  Will she be nice to them or will she be mean?

I’m also curious about the one who shows up while he’s still in his 9th body.

Excellent question!

So, for the OCs that show up after Rose has been ripped apart from the Doctor at the end of Series 2 (Abby, Lulu, and Libby), Rose will probably not be very happy. For Abby and Lulu specifically, Rose won't exactly be happy when she sees how close they are with the Doctor. Having said that, I don't think she'll really be mean. There are a lot more important things going on when Rose comes back than being worried about the Doctor having moved on with someone else.

For the other OCs (Shareen, Ava, and Iliana), they will have traveled with Rose during Series 2, so the dynamic is slightly different. With Iliana, Rose doesn't really develop romantic feelings for the Doctor, so she's thrilled in Series 4 to see that the Doctor and Iliana are finally together.

Shareen (the one who shows up and starts traveling with the Ninth Doctor and Rose) is Rose's best friend, so Rose is thrilled to see her again. She's not exactly thrilled to see how close the Doctor and Shareen are, but again, not a lot of time to get picky over it.

Ava and Rose are not very close when they travel together. Definitely friendly, but it's Martha who Ava becomes close friends with. So, Rose might be a bit bitchier to Ava, but she'll quickly be put in her place (as well as be reminded this is not the time or the place).

So, in short, it just really depends on the OC and their relationship with Rose as to how the latter reacts. I will say that in all cases, she will have come to terms with the OC and their specific relationship with the Doctor by the end of 'Journey's End'.
