  • A “must listen” for book lovers!

    Emily and Heidi are re-reading and analyzing every Nora Roberts book. They highlight and appreciate Nora’s strengths, critique when necessary and generally just recap every book. I love their friendship, and I think we could be friends irl too. 🥹

  • One of my favs podcasts

    I am a massive Nora Roberts fan. She was weirdly instrumental in my love for reading and also in helping me get through my awkward teen years.

    This podcast reminds me of the fun of reading a new Nora book and also wishing I had someone to chat about it with.

    I highly recommend this podcast for Nora fans or just romance fans in general.

  • Great idea for a pod

    I love the dedication. My OCD is forcing me to go back and read all the early Nora Roberts books that I skipped because they were too rapey and predictable. Worth it though to listen to Emily and Heidi’s takes on all her books and of course the later ones are so much better. Thanks for doing this
