All the Books! Book Riot

I love this podcast! Liberty is hilarious. I miss the original Liberty and Rebecca pairing but it’s still great now. It has helped me stay excited about reading and I never go wrong with their recommendations. Book riot has been advocating that you read from a variety of perspectives long before now so if being anti-racist (and anti-other oppressions and intolerances), I think working this into your routine is one great thing to do for that.

While I enjoy most of the content, Liberty’s voice and constant inflections make the podcast unbearable. I too have a high-pitched voice, however I feel like she doesn’t try to keep it at the same volume or tone. She comes across as immature (language and valley-girlish). For some time I would just fast-forward through her part, but I’m now unsubscribing.

This is a great podcast for staying up to date in the bookish world. I miss the days when Rebecca Schinsky was on every episode with Liberty, but I can imagine that it would be super challenging to read enough books to be on this podcast weekly. Thank goodness we have Liberty!
