Discussing You Are Fatally Invited by Ande Pliego Part II
Did Nate finish this episode and then forget to upload it? Maybe. But once you forget this came out late, we'll say it didn't. We'll gaslight you that we never ever missed a due date and that maybe you're the one who remembered things wrong. Anyway we're jumping RIGHT BACK into this book. No intro. Just boom, you're in the book, getting talked at. I hope that Fletcher fellow gets what's coming to him!Support the showBlue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky.socialDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/
