We would say the rest is history but in actuality, it's just the beginning. So come join us in the next chapter of our lives as we introduce ourselves, and laugh our way through the world of books with a focus on Fantasy, Romantasy, and Dark Romance.

I found this podcast mid-year 2024 and decided to try it out.
I was looking for a new book podcast because most of the shows I was listening to were not enjoyable. I listened to a couple episodes and immediately proceeded to binge listen.
I caught up to the current episode right at the end of the year and now tune in every week!
I’m sad I don’t have multiple episodes to listen to in a day.
Besties and the Books has easily become my favorite show. They are relatable and funny.
The best parts are ... more

Ashley and Liz are great! It feels like I’m hanging out with friends and chatting. I catch myself laughing along with them and even sharing my own opinions out loud like we’re in the same room. Their banter and sense of humor are great. Never change, guys! 💚
Every time I listen to besties and the books I feel like I’m talking about my favorite books with my friends. I laugh out loud and even find myself chiming in with my own opinions even though only I can hear myself 😂 These ladies are so fun and I absolutely don’t mind taking time away from my books to hang out with them. I love the extra fun games they do besides talking about the books they’ve read. Between them and my audiobooks, it helps the work day go by SO much quicker. Easily my favorite... more
