  • These are my best friends

    And they talk to me about books until I fall asleep every night except sometimes I get too into the episodes even if I’ve listened to it fifteen times and it takes three or four episodes. 12/10 would recommend.

  • Charming and a great source for recommendations (or shame)

    I’m so glad I found this podcast. All of the hosts are witty, charming, kind, and down to earth. It has definitely helped to soothe a lot of anxiety while also expanding my reading horizons. What they call shame I call more opportunities to escape during this slow and steady apocalypse. Too dark? Then I’ll say this: It’s like being a part of a cozy chat with friends about what they’ve been reading. So thank you to the friends I’ve never met.

  • Pure bookish delight!

    I’ve recently noticed myself unconsciously applying the “elf’s and orcs” review system to my recent reads. I blame this amusing habit on the fact that I devoured the entire To Read List backlist over the last few weeks. Now if only I could make similar progress on my own To Read List shelf …(okay, yes, shelves)….

This podcast is now my go-to, HAVE to listen to podcast, I seriously listen every single night. Yes, I’ve made my way through all the episodes, some I’ve listened to many many times.
