Ben and Nate discuss the award-winning children's novel. This one is light on summary and heavy on confused philosophical rambling.

It has been a long time coming. We're finally wrapping up another Thrawn Trilogy. There isn't much Thrawn left. Is this the last of Thrawn we'll ever see?? What about the Grisks? The answer may surprise you... and it's "there isn't anywhere for this to go and it all ends in Rey Star Wars."Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
This might as well just be "Words About Thrawn". This blue alien has come in and just taken over the podcast. I think if you count the bonus super-cut we have, as of this week, talked about Thrawn for 13 episodes. Thrawn has tied with Dune! He cannot be stopped!

We have a special guest, James of https://ifyouwantthegravy.wordpress.com/ here to help us understand this ground breaking medium of sight and sound that the kids are calling "movies". We'll be talking about Part 2 of Dune. Will this adaptation hold up to the legendary novel? Could it perhaps be even better?

We're back with Heretics of Dune! Or Dune V-II. Today we advance slowly into the story a little further, kind of like how Frank advanced slowly into the story in this book. That's the WAB treatment at work! You get little hints and bits and pieces of the plot in between talking about how Kevin J Anderson is garbage! Just like the book!Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
It's that time again: Dune month. If you're wondering why it's early this year its because the movie came out and we want that SEO. We're talking about Heretics of Dune. The fifth book in Frank Herbert's Dune series. It is not what the movie is about. Enjoy.

This book is available Feb 27th, 2024 wherever good e-books are sold (or at the very least on Kindle).This week we're discussing a book by PATRON John Bierce! We've covered The Mage Errant #1, The Wrack, and interviewed him and now we're BACK FOR MORE! We talk about several stories in the series and hopefully don't ruin our friendship with JB forever! Should be a good one!Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
This week we're taking a look at a Japanese murder mystery from the 40's. Written by the legendary Seishi Yokomizo, whose work only recently became available in English, The Honjin Murders is a locked room mystery in the style of Agatha Christie and John Dickson Carr. I sure hope there isn't some strange Rube Goldberg machine involved...Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
We're wrapping up our discussion of The Deep Sky by diving into the plot and the murder mystery. Follow along and see if you can guess which of the background characters did a pow pow and the see if you can guess their really stupid motivation. Bonus points if you can deduce how fast it takes to throw them out of an airlock.Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CThreads - https://www.threads.net/@wordsaboutbookspodcastInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
This week Ben and Nate blast off into space to discuss a nominee for "best new sci-fi" according to some people who might not have good taste. It's The Deep Sky!

Then next week, after scaring off all the fans, we're going to discuss the plot and the mystery aspect of the book.
