Customer Reviews
A must listen for any fans of literature!
I shouldn’t really approve of this podcast seen as it is costing me a fortune in purchasing more books for my never ending tbr pile!
David’s ease of interview style and his passion for books is truly wonderful to listen to. His guests always seem at ease and eager to talk about their own book collections and inspirations.
I found this podcast purely by accident even though I follow David on social media
- so no idea how I’ve missed it previously- but am now ferociously devouring past episodes and causing potential divorce proceedings due to my constant purchases!
Can’t wait to hear more and feeling inspired to dust off my previously rejected manuscript and try again!
