  • Dismissive of popular fiction…

    …their site should be called, Book Snob.

  • My favourite podcast

    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.

  • Thank you

    Very cool and interesting to hear what is happening at Red Tower Books. Thanks, Jeff, for introducing me to Fourth Wing. Am age 70 and cannot wait for the second book release in November. Older humans love dragons, too. more

  • Nerdy fun

    I love this podcast! I love getting a bit of an insiders perspective into what’s happening in the book world. I also love the very literary interviews that happen on this podcast. They’re wide ranging, but always fascinating.
