- SO FUN!
This podcast is perfect for when you finish a book but can’t let it go yet. Just a fun way of ‘chatting’ about your recent book with your besties.

United Statesa year ago - Potential
If Maddy expanded her vocabulary, and stopped using Gen Z slang every other sentence, this podcast would be so much better.
I truly don’t mean to be rude, but as someone who IS Gen Z, I’ve not even heard someone my age talk like this. At least someone past the age of 15.
I think toning down the usage of just saying “girl” and “tea” would be a massive improvement.
Apple Podcasts3A concept?United Statesa year ago - Nails on a chalkboard
Was super excited when I came across this podcast. Decided to listen to the twilight episode first. Alex was great to listen to but Maddy grated on my nerves. I feel like I lost some brain cells listening to her and couldn’t finish the last half of the podcast. Great concept, love the books and fanfic listed to review, but can’t with Maddy.
Apple Podcasts2faithbridge girlUnited States2 years ago - Like talking to a friend!
You guys, I am so happy you guys are into Dramione fanfic just like I am. My friends know I’m into Dramione fanfic and they have tried to get into the fandom but it hasn’t really captured their hearts like it has for mine. So by listening to this podcast, it makes me feel like I am sharing my favorite fanfic and smut books lol! Please continue what you guys are doing! You guys are amazing!
Apple Podcasts5Caligirl5United States2 years ago - Best Mix of Fanfics, Romance, and Bookclub
