Extra Nate: The Mystery of the Yellow Room Review

It’s Extra Nate! Prepare for spoilers! Okay I’ll keep this one short. The Mystery of the Yellow Room… not good. Not a fan. Not great. Sorry Dame Agatha Christie but I have to disagree with you on this one. This is absolutely cheating. It’s kind of BS. The Mystery of the Yellow Room is a locked room mystery. Locked room...

Extra Nate: Throne of Glass Book Review

It’s Extra Nate! This time I’m talking about Throne of Glass, the thing I read instead of reading A Court of Mist and Fury. Because Ben put up a poll on Patreon. And the Patrons made their voices heard. And they wanted us to only read one book. And that book was ToG. Not ACoMaF. Thanks. So here we are,...

Nate Talks: Bridge to Bat City by Ernest Cline (NEW RELEASE)

I thought I was out… …but he keeps dragging me back in! Ernest Cline’s best book yet! Also the one that most people will care the least about so that’s kind of a bummer. For those who don’t know I’m the world’s foremost Ernest Cline scholar (not by choice) second only to my book club partner Ben. I’ve read his...

Nate Reads: The Honjin Murders

A Locked Room Murder Mystery This month we read The Honjin Murders by Seishi Yokomizo. This one was one of Ben’s picks and I honestly didn’t know what to expect. My first thought was some kind of horror nonsense like he always picks. It’s FEBRUARY *BEN* pick something appropriate for the month! Jerk! Well it turns out he did pick...

Nate Reads: Bookshops & Bonedust by Travis Baldree

AN OKAY PREQUEL Getting this out of the way real quick for the TL;DR crowd. Not a bad book, but its predecessor is so much better in about every way. I heard about Legends and Lattes on Words About Books 2 years ago and the premise was so interesting to me that I picked the book up myself and finished...

Nate Reads: The Deep Sky

The Deep Sky? More like the Deep… DIE! I’m 2 for 2 for blogs this year so far. I’m moving along with The Deep Sky by Yume Kitasei. This book was voted on by our patrons so thanks for this one guys! The story goes Ben did zero research into this book and pulled a “Nate” where he just picked...

The Hunger Games: Better Than Expected

NATE THE GREAT After reading Battle Royale last year, I decided that we should compare it to the thing that most readily appears to imitate it. Unfortunately, Fortnite isn’t a book so we’re going with the next best thing: The Hunger Games I read this when I was a wee lad at the tender age of 22 years. Those were...

Ben Reviews – The Hunger Games (The Hunger Games #1) by Suzanne Collins

I’m a late comer to The Hunger Games. When it came out I was a little older than the target demographic. I saw the movie once, a long time ago, and I didn’t really care for it. I never investigated much beyond that. I was finally convinced to give it a try, and surprisingly, I thought it was pretty good....

Ben Reviews – Later On We’ll Conspire by Kortney Keisel

I almost feel bad reviewing this. I was never meant to read Later On We’ll Conspire. This was not written with me in mind. Before I read this, I didn’t even know there was such a thing as “Clean, Closed-Door Romance.” I have a friend who enjoys using his book club picks to specifically annoy me, and so here we...

Ben Reviews – The Stupidest Angel by Christopher Moore

When I was a teenager I read a lot of Christopher Moore books. I liked them quite a bit, but upon revisiting A Dirty Job this year I was honestly shocked by how lame, unfunny, and desperate I found a lot of the jokes. I’m pleased to say that I didn’t have that experience with The Stupidest Angel. Though, I...
