I have been listening to Kristen and Maddie for almost a year now and they quickly became my most listened to channel. I love their in depth thoughts on books and every episode feels like a sit down with friends. 10/10 would recommend if you are searching for a book podcast hosted by lovely and intelligent people.
I enjoy listening to Kris and Mads because they speak well. The books might not quite be my reading go to
Kind, but I am hopeful I will hear something that makes me want to try a book.
I love love loooove this podcast!! Thoughtful, honest, fun …. These ladies have it all. I love that they talk about big name books and authors as well as lesser known stories I never would have heard of otherwise. Looking forward to season 2!!
I love these 2 sisters and take notes on all their reviews and enjoy when they dig deep into their podcast conversations. I truly enjoy well rounded reviews and input from influencers that isn’t just the same ol’ same ol’. I’m looking to open my horizons and let me say, the buck stops here. These ladies are legit and it’s never a dull moment with them. They’re entertaining, concise and eloquent with their content. Can’t wait for season 2 and beyond!
I came for the book recs, I stayed for the sisterly banter and connexion, the authentic conversations and book reviews, the useful tips and just overall amazing content!
