This week Nate didn't read the book. Hey, you win some you lose some. Actually Nate offered for Ben to hold off on this episode for a week so that he could read it but Ben just really, really needed to talk about this one.That's right we're deep into the November of our Discontent! Ben has to discuss an action... spy thriller... alternate history thing starring Prince Harry. If you think that sounds funny, well, you're wrong according to Ben.

Ben and Nate read and discuss TerrorTome, the latest novel by fictional author Garth Marenghi. Are they prepared for the most vividly described psycho-sexual relationship between man and typewriter every put to paper? Honestly, no. That was pretty shocking. Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com/wabpodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod

This week the patrons voted on a Goosebumps book. Are you ready to be terrified by a living dummy? Because if so... just get through the first 80% of this book and we'll get around to that eventually. Stine was not kidding when he said it was a night of the living dummy and it was our fault for not taking him very literally. Are you ready to see the Goosebumps mascot at play in his debut book? Because... I mean it happens... like right at the end. Look I didn't realize that the book we probably wanted to read was the second part. So instead you're getting Mr. Wood and you just have to live with it.  Mr. Wood is the Wish <dot> com version of Slappy much in the same way this book is the Wish <dot> com version of Night of the Living Dummy 2. This is the book you had at home when you asked your mom if you could get it. We're just going to have to all live with this together.Support the showDiscord - https://discord.gg/6BaNRtcP8CTwitter - https://twitter.com/wabpodInstagram - https://www.instagram.com/wordsaboutbookspodcastBlog - https://blog.wordsaboutbooks.ninja/Buy the Books - https://bookshop.org/shop/wabpod
