WABies and End of the Year Retrospective 2024
It's that time of year again! The boys hand out awards and review our year which felt like at least 2 or 3 years. Did you now we read The Deep Sky THIS year? How about The Honjin Murders? That was also 2024. That feels like at least 2023, maybe 2022. I am blown away by that, it's insane. Also Nate gets drunk and we hand out awards.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/
