    Discussing Noir by Christopher Moore (Part 1)

    Content Warning: Sexual ThemesChristopher Moore is back with another book. It's fine. A mediocre man cracks wise while getting increasingly over his head in trouble.

    Discussing The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Gaston Leroux

    Discussing The Mystery of the Yellow Room by Gaston Leroux

    This week we talk about a book that, being honest, we did not care for. We wanted to read one more locked room mystery to see if this was our thing or not. The patrons voted for this one when it was put up and, well, here we are. It's not a great book and we had more fun talking about it than reading it.Support the Show.Discord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog...

    Discussing Throne of Glass by Sarah J Maas (Part 1)

    We're back! Using new recording tech that may break more than I like but we're going to blame Ben for that for not proofing and "having a life". What a jerk. Anyway we should hopefully iron out those technical issues.But now it's time to talk about Sarah J Maas again! We were pretty happy with Court of Thorns and Roses. So much so that we awarded SJM a prestigious WABie last year. Now we're going to visit her other series: Throne of Glass. Is it going to be an amazing can't-miss book series o...
