Episode Forty: #ToB Wrap-Up

In This Episode:

The Damn Library is full-to-bursting with not just one but TWO very special guests: returning friend of the show Will Chancellor (author, A Brave Man Seven Storeys Tall) and first-time talker, long-time listener Nozlee Samadzadeh (ToB Producer). They wrap up the 2016 Tournament of Books - and how!

Other highlights:

* Good Will Hunting deep-cuts
* The resolution of our bet!
* What does talking so dang much about these books do to us?
* More ToB knowledge than it's probably legal to have.
