Customer Reviews
Sweet
Feels like catching up with an old friend. Perfect blend of book stuff and silliness, I never miss an episode
Off topic waffle
Far too much off topic, one sided, conversation. I usually skip the first ten or fifteen minutes before getting to books… Is what I said previously. But the book talk has been squeezed out even more recently. In the last podcast I listened to they didn’t get around to discussing books until 28 minutes in! I’ve given up at this point.
Btw Clockwork Orange predated the punk movement by 15 years. It had nothing to do with it.
Joy
Always a bright spot in my week, I love that we get the random stories with the books, who can forget the time that Ariel fell in a well or the whole weasel adventures, great reviews and a lot of intriguing books added to my tbr but more than anything a bit of calm joy in a world that frequently feels anything but
