  • Brilliant!

    These amazing ladies have revolutionized the style of “book clubs” and I’m here for it! I love listening to them every week because they are so unique, yet they also represent so many of us Black women. As a blerd, i must say that I’m so appreciative of this podcast. Also, the people who do not consider themselves blerds will also appreciate it too because they don’t have to read the books if they don’t want to. Moni and Kat summarize it for you! Thanks ladies!
