That's right the event that only comes once a year! Ben & Nate both drink. We give out the WABies (an award just as important as the Oscars) and we look back fondly (or not so fondly) on our 2023. Thanks for hanging with us everyone and we hope to see you in 2024. Oh and there's a gift exchange. I literally almost forgot about that.

Welcome back to another exciting installment of Santa Nate Save's Christmas (from Ben). This week we're reading Later On We'll Conspire by Kortney Keisel. Has Nate discovered a new Christmas classic or will his total lack of research prove fatal to the very holiday he claims to protect?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/

In this, the first of our 2023 Christmas episodes, Santa Nate struggles to save Christmas from Ben's anti-fun agenda. The first weapon in Santa Nate's arsenal: The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore. Will this Christmas comedy enlarge Ben's tragically small heart or has Santa Nate chosen poorly?

This week Nate talks about an original Timothy Zahn! That's right, no blue skinned alien Sherlock Holmes in this book! Does Timothy hit it out of the park or is it a side-quest heavy slog-fest?

This week Nate didn't read the book. Hey, you win some you lose some. Actually Nate offered for Ben to hold off on this episode for a week so that he could read it but Ben just really, really needed to talk about this one.That's right we're deep into the November of our Discontent! Ben has to discuss an action... spy thriller... alternate history thing starring Prince Harry. If you think that sounds funny, well, you're wrong according to Ben.

Ben and Nate read and discuss TerrorTome, the latest novel by fictional author Garth Marenghi. Are they prepared for the most vividly described psycho-sexual relationship between man and typewriter every put to paper? Honestly, no. That was pretty shocking. 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/

Halo fan Nate and unwilling Halo book reader Ben discuss Halo Cryptum by Greg Bear. Apologies in advance for the amount of coughing and sniffling on the track.

Long ago Ben and Spooky Chy discussed Five Nights at Freddy's book The Silver Eyes. Based on that tenuous connection they have decided to upload their lengthy discussion of the recent Five Nights at Freddy's movie as a bonus episode of a book podcast. 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/

We kick off The November of Our Discontent with a book guaranteed to upset both of us: House Atreides by Brian Herbert and Kevin J. Anderson. Delight in our suffering as Nate walks us through this book chapter by chapter, and be sure to let us know if you think we've had enough or if the misery should continue...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/
