This is a great podcast. I hope it continues!
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!
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.
I love the format. Not the endless blabbing but honest talks about books.
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.
