Sarah and Cindy are an absolute joy to listen to! Their book reviews are thorough, engaging, and full of enthusiasm. They make you want to buy the books right away and dive in.

I highly recommend The Reading Lounge for anyone looking for insightful book reviews and creative cocktail ideas.
Cindy and Sarah are a joy to listen too. Definitely intriguing, and I have added a handful of books they have talk about to my reading list. Love the twist of the drink too!
Thank you Sarah & Cindy for another great podcast! I just finished listening to Episode 5 and it was particularly fun because I had actually read the book a few months ago and had wanted to talk to someone who had read it! Your conversations are great and very much like a bookclub where people have actually read the book! Anyway, keep going with this FUN podcast.
