This is a headgum podcast.
This episode is brought to you by Mint Mobile. Andrew, summer is over now, but you can still carry the spirit of summer, the spirit of those carefree months with no homework or school, and the freedom to get away from a big wireless company that's gonna lock you in and overcharge you.

Andrew, would you please talk about your personal experience using Mint Mobile? Is it easy? How high is the quality of service? Are you saving?

While Andrew and Craig believe the joy of discovery is crucial to enjoying any well told tale, they will not shy away from spoiling specific story beats when necessary. Plus these are books you should have read by now.
Hey everybody, welcome to Overdue. It's a podcast about the books you've been meaning to read. My name is Craig. My name is Andrew. And locked in this tomb with us, we have a guest. Please introduce yourself.
Uh hi. Well, I'm in the body of Megan, but the soul part is a mystery that will get unlocked maybe over the course of this. Uh well
we had we had planned to make this a two person podcast, but then we were talking about it and we thought that it would work better if it were had if there was one more person. So it's a three person podcast now.
It is.
Yeah. In inside of a two person podcast.
Yeah.
Unmaking the reality of our universe. This is our book podcast where each week some of us read a book and tell the others of us about it and you get to listen along. Uh Megan, uh welcome back to the show. What book did we read, you and me, for this week's show?
We read Nona the Ninth. By Tams and Muir.
By Tams and Muir, the third Out of four tomb trilogy in the four book. Trilogy, yes. The the what is it? Is it is it Irish twins? Is that the phrase? Like of a book is that can you say that of a book? Uh and you've been on the show before, Megan. W was it for what was that for? Fry
green tomatoes, remember?
That's right. That's the one.
Or were you doing that thing where you were asking Megan because you wanted Megan to tell you? Like when I ask well like when you ask Simon a question and Henry answers it and it's like, bud, they would we know that you know. It was a combination It was a
combination of parenting brain and podcast host brain, where I ask a question I know the answer to so that the person I'm talking to talks instead. Um but yeah, we're gonna talk about this third book in the series. I was interested to read it, but I was not necessarily interested in just locking Andrew in the tomb alone with me again.
I have heard I've listened to you tell me about two other books in this series and I'm no closer to understanding what any of them are about. Yeah.
Yeah,
that's
and m that might not happen today, but I thought we thought maybe Megan, did you read these before I read any of them?
