New to the pod. Feels so good. I can taste the champagne and smell the books. Love love love.
Irreverent. Social commentary. Books. This podcast makes me laugh and sends me into the store, ready to buy.
I love them both!
Admittedly, Dog Eared Books is my adopted bookstore and I love them. However this podcast is such a breath of fresh air and a joy for my bookish heart. Amanda and Ellyn are doing so much good for the community and I love this glimpse behind the scene into their reading lives. Also, anytime they tease Rachel (my IRL friend) i laugh so hard.
If you’re into books, small business, feminism, bubbly, dogs, progressive views and games, listen!
I love the energy, perspectives, and recommendations! I just wish they’d repeat the title of books after they tell about them because often I find I want to read a book as they tell about it and I have to back up the podcast to catch the title again! I just need to start noting each title before they tell about it and then decide! One of these times I’ll get it right. :)
I’m not crying, you’re crying! Love each episode.
