Felhag ,

Makes me want to read

I listened to one for a book I’d read and thought well I’m not going to enjoy others where I hadn’t read the book. How wrong I was! Definitely recommend this to get insights into new books and learn about authors I’d never heard of.

Raniator ,

One at a time please ladies!

I’ll start listening again once Cariad stops interrupting and talking over the top of everyone. It’s just plain rude.

Piedwarbler ,

Add to your TBR! Have a listen!

This is brilliant. I think Sara and Cariad and I have similar tastes. Wifedom, for example, but so many more. Anna Funder is going through the same as Hallie Rubenhold did when she wrote The Five. Loving listening to this podcast. It’s my cup of tea.
