I look foward every Thursday to listen to this podcast! Always get so many good books to read!!
I love this podcast and how Annie manages to address the book needs in an ageless manner. There is something here for people in various life stages and that’s not always the case with book reviewers. What I’d like to see coming up is some narrative nonfiction choices. For example, I loved Seabiscuit, The Boys in the Boat and Destiny of the Republic. Truth is sometimes more illuminating and entertaining than fiction!
This pod was recommended based on my listening habits. I like the rapport between the hosts.
Mary Karr was name dropped. She’s a queen on par with Ann patchett. No one else comes close. Might I recommend Sarah’s bookshelves to you?
Personally I’m a little perplexed that the Correspondent seems to appear on every list.
Our lives are complicated and hard enough, and there is always so much chaotic energy around us. I am grateful for a comforting podcast that never fails to wrap its arms around me like a warm hug.
Annie and her crew are delightful, giving the best book recommendations and hosting the most wonderful conversations. I’ve been a listener for years and plan to be for many years to come.
This podcast is perfect for those that enjoy a calm, comforting listening experience while also gaining a mile ... more
Hi Annie, I love love love your podcast. It’s my favorite. But as a previous reviewer stated the multiple ads are proving very frustrating for me. I understand why you need ads, but I’m wondering if you could replay the weekly podcast on your patreon page without ads. (I’m sorry, but I just fast-forward through them anyway). I’m not currently a Patreon, but I would join just to hear you without ads. Keep up the great work with your fabulous team. Mary
