This is a great edition to the Book Riot podcasts. Very interesting topics. Industry insights, author interviews that discuss writing techniques; how they’ve developed their craft etc. Jeff is a great host and asks very insightful questions.

Looking forward to November’s episode already!!

If you like books, this is like candy! Jeff and Liberty banter about what books will be the best sellers each month. You get a little background on authors, the publishing world, seasonal sales, etc. They make me want to read everything.
