Jen
Great episode 7 such a pleasure to listen to engaging intelligent conversation with warmth and humour. 5 stars!
Fantastic Bookish podcast
I’m thoroughly hooked on this podcast. Love listening to two good friends discuss everything books. I feel like I’m at my own book club listening to my friends get excited about the books they’re reading. Highly recommend.
Soo much food for thought
Fabulous podcast, I’ve just listened to the first episode and found it soo informative and stimulating. I have made a list of things to read, American marriage is now next on my list! Thanks ladies great to see females blazing the trail and making their mark in literature 👍💕👏. Oops I don’t think I posted this and I’m now up to episode 18 and look forward to each episode with anticipation. I have probably bought a dozen of the books reviewed since the podcast started and loved them all. 🙏🏻
