  • I love *The Reading Women*

    I look forward to the RW podcast every week. And I love it for it’s variety and great interviews with *women* authors. I love this year’s reading challenge too in the RW goodreads account. I recommend both to my bookclub and friends and family all the time!

  • This isn't a great podcast for me. It tends to be too much about issues and not enough about books for my liking. Some presenters are a little too focused on their own personal situation and how that is reflected in the book being reviewed
