    Helen is one of my favourite reviewers and I tend to enjoy the same books she does, so listening to her podcast is the obvious choice for me. I don’t listen to many podcasts but this is a must listen!

    So many podcasts are a miss for me but after listening to Best Book Forward’s first episode I know I’m going to be impatiently awaiting the next one and the next one and the one after that! This will make housework so much more enjoyable. Well done Helen ☺️

    Just finished the first episode & I am hooked! A wonderful chat between the two Helens~ informative, warm…like all the best podcasts~ I felt I was taking part in a fascinating conversation. I fear this is going to get expensive as there are so many books I now want to buy!

    My TBR just got longer. I’ve just listened to the first episode and can’t wait for the second. Helen Gambarota has the most comforting voice. A joy to listen to. Perfect for a Sunday afternoon listen, curled up with a cup of tea and your library app, so that you can place reservations on books that spark your interest. Hooked after just one episode.
