  • Confession of a Nonreader 🫣

    ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

    I have a confession... I don't even read the books these ladies are reviewing. 😂 And somehow, this has become one of my favorite podcasts.

    These three have such great chemistry that it feels like you're hanging out with friends who just happen to have read the book for you. Their conversations are literally the best and I love their thoughts on who they would cast for certain characters in the book.

    Even as a non-reader, their reviews are so entertaining that I never feel left out. In f... more

  • Love this pod!!

    I absolutely love Books Around the Block pod!! I feel like I am a fourth member of their book club! I love that they all have different opinions and book tastes to keep the conversation going. I have tried to listen to a lot of book podcasts and most of them feel cringy and awkward, but not Books Around the Block! The conversations flow naturally and I love to hear what opinions they have on the books that they have read. You can tell that every episode is thought out and planned. Love this podc... more

  • My favorite book podcast!

    I had been searching for so long for a book podcast that does deep dives into the books I’ve read recently and also introduces me to new book recommendations and this podcast does both! Their banter is so entertaining and I love hearing their very different perspectives. This podcast even motivated me to start my own neighborhood book club. 12/10 recommend! 🤩
