  • Simply the BEST!

    Melissa and Ellie are so genuine. Listening to them feels like hanging out with the best of friends. I LOVE their theories, personal anecdotes, and hot takes! (Also, their references make me laugh out loud on a regular basis. 😂) Their community is really supportive, and I can’t wait to continue exploring more fantasy stories on the pod!! 🧚🏻‍♀️📚 —Nicole

  • Best Book Club I’ve been in!!

    These two are so friendly and funny! After a dozen or so episodes I feel like I’m in their friend group. I love listening to their takes on the books I’ve read. I’m way behind and still reading and listening to the Throne of Glass series episodes. But being late to the party has let me binge lots of LAME episodes and I don’t have to wait for more! Thanks for these discussions about the addicting worlds we read about!

    I am not really a podcast listener but you ladies have such great energy, really funny story telling and great questions when discussing a book or other topics. It feels like a coffee chat and spilling all the chisme. Amazing.

  • Yay! I can listen with kids in the car!

    I love romantasy, but I don’t feel comfortable listening to a lot of book podcasts with my kids around. Melissa and Ellie are smart, funny, and keep it all PG!!!
