Get your copy today wherever you buy books! *** The Bachelor franchise has been around for over two decades and has amassed an army of fans across its four shows. While contestants battle to prove they’re here for the right reasons, Bachelor Nation is confronting their own question—Why are we here and why can’t we stop watching? Devout franchise fans Ilana Masad and Stevie Seibert Desjarlais pose the big questions to Bachelor Nation: Who are we? What does the franchise mean to us? And seriously, why on earth can we not stop watching? For years, fans of the Bachelor franchise have laughed with and at contestants; cried along with their heartbreaks; tuned in again and again each season despite feeling betrayed by producer and contestant decisions alike; and celebrated, alone and together, the love (or loveless) lives of perfect strangers on our television screens. And we wonder, really, why? With reality TV broadly characterized as “trash TV,” why are so many intelligent, funny, and critical people watching and discussing it? HERE FOR ALL THE REASONS seeks to answer this question, diving into the complex negotiations of gender, racial, and class politics that arise within the fandom. This anthology is a polyvocal exploration of Bachelor Nation *for* Bachelor Nation. So, will you accept our rose and join the chat? #TheBachelor #BachelorNation #RealityTV #BachelorBook #LoveIsland #NewBooks

💥 Win a free advance copy! 💥 Calling all gamers and lovers of inventive action-adventure! Meet Anya and Cyrus, a burnt-out NPC bartender and a brooding warrior, respectively.

Anya Dazel is a burnt-out barkeep in Eternity: The Endless Realm, the world’s premier online role-playing game. As a non-player character, her life is stuck in a programmed loop—forever serving the same drinks to the same patrons and helping players with an automatic quest event that unfolds when they enter her pub. She longs for any disruption to this monotonous existence, even if that feels like an impossible dream. But when Eternity receives an update, and Cyrus Blackwood is added to Anya’s pub, her dream unfurls as a nightmare. Cyrus is everything that Anya is not—a mysterious, brooding warrior with a gigantic sword and a tortured past. Everyone in the tavern is fascinated by him, and even worse, when the next player arrives, it’s Cyrus who helps them with their quest, not Anya. Realizing that she’s being replaced, Anya lashes out at Cyrus, inadvertently knocking them both out of her tavern and into the wider realm of Eternity. Free from their encoded home, Anya and Cyrus must work together to navigate a dangerous open world, overcoming hordes of monsters, devious puzzles, and maybe even an existential crisis or two. But as they struggle to overcome their distaste for each other and stay alive, they discover that their roles within Eternity might not be as programmed as they thought, and Anya will need to prove that even barkeeps can be heroes. #LitRPG #CozyLit #CozyAction #PublishersWeekly #SummerBooks #IndieBooks

CATHEDRALS OF CONNECTION is an Illumination Book Awards bronze medalist! Congratulations to Turner author Matt Mattson for being awarded a bronze medal in the self-help category. CATHEDRALS OF CONNECTION invites readers to rediscover the sacred in everyday conversations: coffee shop chats, shared meals, and simple moments of human connection. This Biblically-inspired, story-filled Christian guide (built with 40 short chapters) offers a five-element framework to help anyone create cathedrals of connection in their lives. Mattson's book reframes “church” not as an institution to save or abandon, but as a human capacity we must relearn. In a time when many voices are diagnosing what’s wrong with the church, this book quietly asks a deeper question: What if the future of faith isn’t about buildings, beliefs, or brands—but about how we show up for one another? Rediscover meaning, belonging, and sacredness with CATHEDRALS OF CONNECTION, available now wherever you buy books. Since 2013, the Illumination Christian Book Awards have celebrated the best new titles written from a Christian perspective. #IlluminationBookAwards #ChristianBooks #BookAwards #NewBooks #FaithBooks

TAKEOVER WRAPUP! What a whirlwind—I started the day by presenting my research to a thoughtfully engaged audience in Atlanta at the Popular Culture Association’s 2026 annual conference and now I’m back home in Omaha. Atlanta is an awesome city and it was a great experience learning about all the interesting ways that other scholars engage with myriad aspects of pop culture. Thanks for following along over the past few days. Don’t forget to checkout the anthology, HERE FOR ALL THE REASONS: WHY WE WATCH THE BACHELOR, that @ilanaslightlyignorant and I co-edited about The Bachelor reality television franchise. It comes out May 5! [Image descriptions: 1: photo of the downtown Atlanta skyline from a high rise window, the sky is blue with wispy white clouds 2: photo of Stevie, a white woman with brown hair wearing a black shirt seated at a table with microphone, speaking to an audience member—who is standing to the left—at her panel presentation]

TAKEOVER DAY 3! For me, conferencing with the @popularcultureassociation is all about balance. After hours of panel presentations that are saturated with interesting analysis and new-to-me ideas, my brain needs a break. The perks of traveling to present and hear research include seeing the sights. Atlanta has a lot to offer; yesterday, I visited the aquarium 🪼 Now, I have to finalize my presentation… my talk is tomorrow!
