  • Love these Ladies

    This is such a fun podcast, yet I still get serious reviews and personal recommendations. I also feel connected to both Tina and Hannah as I’m a lifelong Michigander with a grandson at Northwestern University near Chicago. It’s also filmed for YouTube so you can watch it!

  • Articulate, great summarized content

    I get what I want out of this show. And what I want is that feeling of talking to friends where you can be real, but also clear, concise, educated opinions and summaries of books. They can build your trust and sell you on what they are reading for sure. I only wish there were some backlist focus too vs. new releases - but hey, make it make money.

  • Love it except…

    I do really enjoy this podcast. I was sad when Rene left but I find Hannah to be a lovely addition. The only issue I have is how they stop the book talk to compliment each other! Every episode someone will finish a book recommendation and the other will over the top compliment them about how great they did summarizing the book. I find it so unnecessary and annoying. If they want to hype each other up great, but please cut that out of the episode.

  • Great podcast for real readers!

    This podcast has added so much to my reading life, I’m appreciative! The talk is real, their feelings about books and authors is real, and there’s no pretense to these ladies opinions and I find myself returning over and over to this podcast for great bookish topics and recommendations.

  • Books or politics?

    I loved this podcast but after the host I loved left it seems to have taken a turn. It’s become less about book talk and more about the hosts political views.
