Hello Fellow Nerds! It is time for a Nerdy Rewind episode of the podcast, and we are sharing one of our fan favorites and most listened to episodes this week!

This rewind episode is episode 8 of season 1, where we discuss "A Court of Thorns and Roses", chapters 18-19.

Listen in to find out more about fae fiddlers (it’s actually a thing and quite interesting) and how we think Feyre might be acting like a brat. Also, do you think the fae males wear underwear?

Visit Ournerdiestthing.com to see our rewind cocktail, named the "Glen Sour" for this episode.

Hello, fellow nerds! We are 10 days away from No Excuses, the newest release from romance author Andrea Jenelle! We're diving into a Nerdy Rewind today as we revisit our interview with Andrea from the fall.

Andrea Jenelle is a 2023 HOLT Award Winning Author whose characters have been begging for their stories to be told, and she is giving them a voice.  She’s a small town girl who is writing the steamy, emotional small town contemporary romances she always wanted to read.  Andrea’s characters have struggles and joys that will resonate with all readers–living their lives while finding and keeping love.  Andrea has a law degree and spends her day job passionately fighting for equity for all while pursuing her passion for writing–taking a dream that was once on the backburner and allowing it to fill her soul one story at a time.

Listen in as we chat more about Andrea's books, working to become a writer while being a single mom, and her upcoming projects. Be sure to follow her @authorandreajenelle

Hello, fellow nerds! We sat down with Riley Hunt, author of Sin City, Kingdom of Blood and Spirit, and more!

Riley Hunt is a young adult and adult fantasy author who writes fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal with a little romance, and strong female leads that kick ass all on their own. She currently lives in Maryland and holds a master’s in Education with an emphasis in Reading Literacy, but instead writes the literature she once sought to teach. She is a wine and coffee enthusiast who overindulges way too much. A proud nerd to the core, you’ll find Star Wars and Marvel characters littering the shelves of her office; which she uses to influence her own stories as she works. She is the author of Kingdom of Blood and Spirit, Sin City, and the upcoming Born of Blood and Thorns.

Listen in as we chat more about Riley's books, her author journey, and her soul-eater energy. Be sure to follow Riley @authorrileyhunt_trishbeninato

Hello fellow nerds! On Season 3, Episode 19 of the podcast, we are continuing our read-a-long of “Gold” by Raven Kennedy with chapters 27-37! This is week two of four episodes for this book.

On this episode, we’ll be discussing the fact that we thought Lydia was an odd name for the capital in Annwyn. So odd that Whitney did a deep dive into the etymology! Next we chat about the section of the book that shows animal fighting, and how bonkers it is that still happens legally IRL in parts of our world. And finally, who in the heck is the assassin? He's making us feel all types of things.

Visit ournerdiestthing.com or instagram.com/ournerdiestthing for our themed cocktail, “Sweet Revenge”, which is themed after unaliving anyone who has ever pissed you off.
