I wanted to like this but I can’t wrap my head around a book/reading influencer who brags about only reading the dialogue and skimming the rest of the book. How can you claim to have read a book when you don’t actually read?? I know it doesn’t affect me personally but it was driving me crazy that I had to stop listening 5 episodes in
I’ve really been loving this podcast! The quality is fantastic all around 🙌
I love this podcast because the host has a way of making it seem like her and the guest are instantly friends and it feels genuine which is a clear sign that Morgan isn’t just interested in books and authors but actually deeply interested in PEOPLE on the whole. The feeling I’m left with is one of a shared humanity - and the inspiration to go read (or write!) a book immediately after an episode but also….. to call my best friend and see what’s she’s reading these days too.
I was excited about the content but the speaking voices of the podcaster and guest Joss Richards were so awful to listen to, I had to stop between the up talking and valley girl intonation it was painful
I just listened to episode 1! This just works. I love the love around reading! You had me when you said you don’t like Pride and Prejudice! Yes girl me too!
