- The ads 😩
I used to LOVE this podcast but the amount of ads are OBNOXIOUS! I hate to say it, but it’s not worth it honestly. I also feel like she gives way too many plot points away when describing a book. I just want introduced, not the first half of the book ruined.

Longtime listener here. If it is possible to have a comfort-food equivalent in a podcast, this is it: Mac ‘n cheese, chicken soup, apple pie…it never fails to satisfy, to conjure up a desire to dig into a new read, and to bask in the joy that is the reading life.
Apple Podcasts5OspreyMamaUnited States2 months ago - One of my favourite book podcasts
I love this show and is one of my favourite book themed podcasts which is high praise as I follow and listen to quite a few some fall by the wayside but MMD is a constant and wanted to show my appreciation and love for this wonderful show
