New listener - hope there will be future episodes, such a breath of fresh air to hear strong African women on books!!
This podcast gives me life so much. Can’t wait for season two........ Bookshybooks is my fav lol..... love you all still
This is such a fun, engaging podcast. Feels like you’re catching up with friends and being introduced to countless amazing books. Definitely worth a listen.
I really love the chemistry that the host have. Even if you don't agree with them, their opinions will stick with you. I've added more books to my TBR than I can count listening to them, but my one critique is, I miss how they did the show notes from that first episode where every book they talk about was listed even if they just referenced it and didn't go in depth. This was helpful because even if I wasn't able to pause and rewind at that moment while listening on the go, I knew I could go bac... more
I love the evolution of the show. I wish it was weekly, but I understand the production requirements may not allow this to happen.
I love the wit, banter, and especially the recommendations and resources that each of the hosts provide.
I think every african book lover should listen to this podcast. You make me want to speed up my own podcast launch. :D
Keep at it!
I’m not much of an avid reader but this podcast has motivated me to read more and introduced me to a wider range of authors.
I now have a growing list of books to read and I also love the energy between the ladies!!
Thank you for this wonderful podcast!
I looooove This podcast. I listened to 3 back to back to back. I have LITERALLY bought all the books listed in the Bookgasm episode. It’s opening me up to so many authors and genres. The dialogue is always on point. Thanks for putting this out! When is the merch dropping.
what a refreshing way to review books. i love they way the girls discuss the books like they are having a regular coverstion. i am an avid reader and i feel like i know the girls personaly
The Me Too and Windrush episode moved me to tears. It was so personal and you all handled it with great sensitivity and care. Hearing BookShyBooks story and how it has impacted her was touching and made me feel less alone in it all. Thank you.
Update: Yes the windrush made me cry but episode 7 was masterful, generous and free. I loved it :)
New listener and already hooked. Discussions are lively, wide-ranging and fearless in their honest, funny, well-informed assessment of books & publishing industry.
Saw this podcast on a tumblr list and subscribe before I even listened. This podcast is such a fun, personable one. It’s like we’re just sitting around and have a conversation over books. They are informative, knowledgeable and make me laugh. A+ and I can’t wait for more podcast.
PS- As a black woman it really warm my heart that these three are also black Women. I subscribe to a few podcast and to come across another black woman is rare.
It's such a personable podcast and I hae gotten some amazing recommendations from it. They are like the book wormy friends I never had!
These girls are fun and honest. I also like how they don't always agree with each other. I love it!
You had me at book. Also, you tweeted about Nnedi Okorafor... what more do I need?!
Stealing what was basically the idea of a prior podcast is not okay
