Hello, fellow nerds! We are back with a brand new book club episode and we are reading Quicksilver, chapters 24-26!

Listen in as we discuss the following: 

-Do you know the theme song to Reba?  Apparently, Whitney does.

-Have you ever experienced hallucination induced sleep paralysis?

-Did you know the Exorcism of Emily Rose is based on the story of Anneliese Michel?

Visit ournerdiestthing.com for this week’s themed cocktail recipe, named “Corpse Reviver”
