  • Reader BFF

    Becky’s the friend you want to talk to about romance novels. She asks the best questions and gets to the heart of the author’s books, why they wrote them, and what they hope to achieve. She finds a way to relate to the story and relay that to the author in a thoughtful and generous way. I love this podcast!

  • The Great♥️

    I may be a bit bias because…Becky is my friend but I really love her podcast. I love her love of romance. I love how she chooses comedy and doesn’t take herself too seriously. And the focus of her podcast being on cheap books….Yes! Us ladies living on a budget absolutely need it!
