United States8 days ago - Go-to book recs
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!
Apple Podcasts52tori2United States25 days ago - A nice listen
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.

Apple Podcasts5Booked with BradyUnited States2 months ago - Ads issues
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
