Love listening to your show and always learning about new books ❤️
I just listened to your Melissa Julwan episode. Yay! I am so glad to have found you.
The concept is so simple: ask avid readers how and what they like to read. And I’m loving it! In the several episodes I’ve listened to so far, I’ve found something to ponder and something in common with each of the readers, leaving me feeling connected to the reading community. Keep up the great work, Betsy!
Really loving this pod. The host is incredibly well read and always has such a great rapport with guests. Highly recommended!
I found this podcast by searching author Ann B Ross of the Miss Julia series. I started out with an audiobook purchased for $1 at my local library. I have since read about 1/2 the series as I need audio or large print books. It was fun listening to the guest describe her experience with the series and especially listing favorite recommendations. I don’t belong to a book club but this podcast gave me the feeling of being a podcast book club member!! Thank you!!
