  • So fun

    I cannot recommend this podcast enough. I find myself giddy when I see a new episode coming in weekly and it feels like you are in a book club with people who don’t judge. I find more depth in romance novels as a result of this show and whether you are new to romance or long time reader this is the podcast for you.
