Grab a cup of coffee and sit back with Jess. Highly recommend, and the authors getting interviewed are so impressive! This was a fantastic addition to the fantasy fan girls media
I haven’t related to a podcast this much in a looooooong time. Jess and her guests capture the joy and meaning of reading so well. The questions are thoughtful, the discussion is relatable, and the feeling I’m left with after each episode is a full heart and a desire to sit down with a good book and a warm beverage. I’ve also learned more ways to connect to the bookish community through this podcast, and I’m thankful for that.
Jess is so easy to listen to every Tuesday! ❤️
Jess is fun, cozy and so uplifting! Her questions to interviewees are so creative and I love hearing from authors and other book-ish people in this format! I always want to cozy up with a good book and read after listening…if I can stop laughing from the chaos question!
I was a big fan of the lost books of Jess and thrilled to see that her content was expanding to this podcast. Jess is an absolute gem. A real person who I find very relatable and I think she is hosting such pleasant wonderful conversation.
