It’s such a pleasure to listen to someone who loves books as deeply as Adriana does and knows so much about them talk to authors! I haven’t found any other book-centered podcast that’s as fun to listen to as this one.
I love Adriana’s interviewing style. It’s easy, genuine, and feels like sitting on the porch chatting with your next-door neighbor. She brings her Southern roots right to the forefront and it makes every conversation feel like home.
