This week, the Nerdy Reads team dives into another book by Jeff Wheeler, The Queens Poisoner. They put both Mountain Dew gamer fuel beverages against each other to determine which flavor you should try. There is a heated debate on who was the best Spider-Man, and the team learns of a Battle between an alligator and a Chief that led to cars rolling uphill.... We still don't get it either. Who is your favorite Spider-Man? Do you have a favorite Spidey Suit? Find out what the Nerdy Reads team thinks about this and more on this week's episode of the Nerdy Reads Podcast.

In this episode, I'm chatting with author TJ Klune about his new book In The Lives Of Puppets, the importance of libraries and indie bookshops, the two people who sparked his love of writing, and books!

TJ KLUNE is the New York Times and USA Today bestselling Lambda Literary Award-winning author of The House in the Cerulean Sea, The Extraordinaries, and more. Being queer himself, Klune believes it's important—now more than ever—to have accurate, positive queer representation in stories.
