I believe you just might help me out of the worst reading rut I’ve ever been in. One episode in, and I am encouraged by your range of titles and genre, and intelligent insights. Excited to hear more :)
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.
Absolutely loved this! I’ve enjoyed The Bibliofilles instagram content for a while, so I was looking forward to the podcast and it didn’t disappoint! It’s so lovely to hear Sophie and Chaya talk with so much passion about the books they cant get enough of. Excited for more episodes!
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!
Entertaining, lively and informative!
