Love the variety of unique bookish topics!
I love the takes on so many popular books! Keep them coming!
This is a great small podcast that I have loved commenting with as part of the Book Podcast Connection! 5/5 must listen!
Jenessa and her guests make me wish my English classes were fun!

It’s nerdy without being boring and I love listening to Jen and her roving band of co-hosts. It is the “best parts version” of all these books and movies.
