  • Recommended is great

    Authors recommend a book for everyone to try- it may be their favorite or it may just be a good book- we hear a little summary and they tell you why they recommend it. I love the choices of all different authors - famous and not- adult and middle grade and teen and kid authors- really great! Thanks for all your work!

  • Absolutely lovely

    I really do not have anyone in my life to discuss or recommend books with. This podcast is just wonderful for hearing another human gush about a book they truly love. I am always more likely to add a book to my tbr when someone is really passionate about it.

  • Love the recommendations

    I love the format. Not the endless blabbing but honest talks about books.

  • Recommended is recommended

    This is one of my favorite BookRiot podcasts (although they are crushing their podcast game lately.) About 20 minutes per weekly episode with two authors each recommending a favorite book. Even if you aren't interested in the book in question (I'm sure I'll never read that historical romance someone recommended), the conversation is illuminating and fun.
