  • A bookish show becomes non bookish

    Very disappointed. And can no longer support. If we want politics we can go to political shows …. We don’t want or need it in the bookish sphere. And if the host wants to do that … cool but not all readers want that. Transparency of what this show is actually about is important.

  • feels like you’re talking to your friend!

    Krystle seamlessly blends her fun, witty humor with knowledge of books in a way that when you listen to her (and guests) on your walks or in the car, you feel like you’re on a personal phone call or facetime with her! Time flies in the best way in her podcast episodes that you can’t help but want to binge listen one after the other. For all bookworms and smutty book lovers- she’s your go-to girl.
