Rebecca Yarros is the author of The Empyrean series, a wildly popular collection of "romantasy" novels. In a conversation with NPR's Emily Kwong at this year's National Book Festival, Yarros said she wanted to plot an enemies-to-lovers story when she began writing Fourth Wing, the first book in this series. In today's episode, Yarros talks about the genre tropes she tries to embrace and avoid in her writing. She also discusses working through a chronic illness, how history and politics shape her stories, and the influence of her husband's military experience on how she approaches themes of violence in her work.

On August 4, 1892, in Fall River, Massachusetts, an incredibly grizzly event took place. 

Andrew and his wife, Abby Borden, were brutally murdered by repeated strikes with a hatchet to their heads. 

The primary suspect in the case was their daughter, Lizzie. In the subsequent trial, there wasn’t enough evidence to convict, and ever since, people have wondered if Lizzie did, in fact, kill her parents, and if she didn’t, who did?

Learn more about Lizzie Borden and Borden's murders on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

In two new children's books, characters discover worlds of adventure just outside their doorsteps. Trevor Noah's first picture book, Into the Uncut Grass, is about a young boy and his teddy bear who wander outside the boundaries of their home into unknown territory. The story, illustrated by Sabina Hahn, is about exploring the internal world of a child's imagination and bridging disagreements and differences. In today's episode, Noah speaks with NPR's Ayesha Rascoe about how children can begin to grasp the interior lives of their parents and how humor can be a way to process reality. Then, librarian and author Travis Jonker and illustrator Matthew Cordell join Rascoe for a conversation about their new book, The Ship in the Window. They said the book was inspired by a real-life model ship Jonker spotted at a neighbor's house. In the interview, Jonker and Cordell discuss other references for the book, including the work of author William Steig and the book's vintage-inspired color palette.

From the end of the Second World War through 1991, the city of Berlin, the former capital of Germany and its largest city, was split in two. 

The two Berlins, East and West, were in a geopolitical situation unlike any that the world had seen before or since. 

This one city split into two, was ground zero for the Cold War. Here, the conflict between East and West was a daily reality for the people who lived on both sides. 

Learn more about East and West Berlin, how they came to be, and how they came back together on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

Author and essayist Craig Brown is perhaps best known for his sketch comedy writing and satirical columns poking fun at the British government. But he's also a biographer, having written about subjects like Princess Margaret and The Beatles. Now, he's turned his attention to Queen Elizabeth II in a new biography, Q: A Voyage Around the Queen. In the book, Brown portrays the monarch as an anchor for the British public who penetrated the emotional psyche of a nation–even appearing in people's dreams. In today's episode, Brown joins NPR's Scott Simon to talk about what Queen Elizabeth II symbolized to people, what she would've done with her life had she not been royalty, and the unchanging nature of her character.

Ever since the dawn of the space age, there have been some who have dreamed of establishing a human presence on Mars.

However, despite being really far away, Mars is not exactly hospitable to humans. 

Some suggest that the answer might be to completely change Mars's environment, to radically change its atmosphere, and, over time, to turn it into a second Earth where humans could live. 

Learn more about the idea of terraforming Mars, what would need to be done, and the challenges it would face in this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.
