  • You guys are my new favourite book podcasters

    I’m absolutely loving the podcast and I love the dynamic between the two of you.

    It feels like I’m similar to both of you and am a definite mood reader so I won’t necessarily read all the choices for book club but I’m here for the book chat anyway.

  • The podcast all book lovers need to listen to

    I adored listening to the first episode of this brilliant, chatty, down to earth, passion filled podcast. It’s hosted by two very obvious bibliophiles who between them share an eclectic knowledge of books and book genres. I’ve already read one of their book recommendations and loved it. Great first episode - looking forward to more!! Well done!
