- Thanks! From a Homeschool Mom
In my current season of life, I don’t have time to take a deep dive into academic courses or long philosophical meanderings (been there, will be back at it someday!) The Literary Life offers insight and thoughtful discussion on terrific books, and as a busy homeschool mom, I can listen when I’m making dinner, driving, or folding laundry. My TBR list is never dull (or short!) anymore. I hope to explore more of the HHL in the future.

Apple Podcasts5ghyib3578United Statesa month ago - Not hyperbole. Life changing
I would never have read Dracula of my own volition without the encouragement from this podcast. I LOVED it and it has lit a flame inside my heart for more literature in my life that is this RICH! I still can’t pull it out in my own, the podcast held my hand while I saw the story in a completely new way. But it’s like dying of thirst and someone gives you a shot sized glass of water. All I want is MORE MORE MORE!
Thank you Angelina, Thomas and Cindy. What a gift you’ve given me.

As cliche as this is this podcast truly changed my life. I was drowning in the little years of motherhood and this podcast became my refuge. Cindy taught me plodding, Angelina ignited my love of fairytales and Mr. Banks changed my view of poetry!
