2025/07/13

This one went off the rails immediately. Nate is obsessed with Rhys's length and Ben keeps thinking about different ways to use ash wood to kill the fey. It takes us about 30 minutes to get to the point where they actually talk about the story. I'll be honest, I wouldn't recommend this episode. Tune in next week when they maybe have their stuff together. But if you've read this far then you're already in too deep. Support the show Blue Sky - https://bsky.app/profile/wordsaboutbooks.bsky...

Discussing Oblivion: The Infernal City by Greg Keyes

Words About Books ·

2025/07/06

This week we tackle a current topic... well from like 2 months ago when we put it up on the patreon to be voted on. I don't think anyone is talking about the Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remake anymore so we're a little late to the party. That's just the kind of people WAB are. We show up at 3am after all your guests have already gone home bringing too much alcohol and snacks that you are absolutely going to be eating and drinking because we went through all this trouble, you jerk.

Nate Discusses Burn Notice: The Fix by Tod Goldberg

2025/06/29

This week Nate talks about one of his favorite TV shows from the late Bush/early Obama years! Burn Notice! The book in question is the first Burn Notice book and it is essentially an episode of the show but with some added confusion where Nate maybe understood the major details but not so much the connective tissue.

The title says it all. What more can we say? We wrap up this terrible book about forgiving your abusers because, hey, they're people too. Will Vivi finally apologize? No. We already spoiled that. She never once apologizes and, in fact, believes she did nothing wrong. I'm sorry we have to keep discussing this dumpster fire.

2025/06/15

Today the boys discuss one of the worst things we've ever had the displeasure of reading. We didin't go in thinking we'd like it. We figured it would be something that just wasn't for us and we could understand (maybe) why others liked it even if it wasn't for us. What we got instead? Awful. Absoilutely positively awful. This is the story of an abused child learning that her abusive mom was a person too and learning to forgive her... no wait, sorry scratch that last part. She learns to apolog...
