In this season finale of Book Overflow, Carter and Nathan put their memories to the test and see if they can guess which quotes come from which books! Using their custom built Book Overflow Game, game.bookoverflow.io (and we've already fixed the bugs!), Carter and Nathan present themselves with a series of quotes from all the books they read and try to identify which book the quote is from!
Thank you for a great 2024! We'll see you in January of 2025!
