United Kingdoma month ago - New favourite podcast!
I discovered you on instagram and was then delighted to see you have a podcast and YouTube (or rather, ‘book tube’) channel. Watched the first one and three book purchases later, I am hooked! The passion you have for books is infectious, and I love the dynamic between you! (I have also joined your bookclub over on Substack - I too never fit into bookclubs but I have a feeling I’m going to love this one). Please keep the fantastic episodes coming! - Eleni

Canada3 months ago - 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.
