Zibby is obviously a fan of Daniel Silva, as she was gushing and giggly throughout the interview. I very much enjoyed the author, and Zibby had some very poignant questions.
Great conversations, great guests, and always new books added to my reading list. Zibby shines a light on the author behind the book and brings their stories to life.
I would like in the title to write out book and author and to have a larger book cover to see
Great interviews! Zibby asks super questions and has wonderful conversations with her guests. I always look forward to listening to this wonderful podcast
