All the Books!

Absolutely loved Kelly for the backlist.

Liberty has been off her game for months now because she is unwell. while I know she doesn’t want it to, it obviously is making the podcast far less cohesive and entertaining. It has become a negative space filled with her illnesses, despondency, and she is meandering around so many topics that it doesn’t even make a lot of sense sometimes. I really hope she just takes the time off and let others step in to keep the podcast going. I am sure there is a good team that could do that for her so she can focus on getting better and not stressing about trying to prep for a podcast which she has to do while lying down. I hope that she takes that time for herself and the show supports her.

First, I do like being able to find out about books coming out in different genres so I have some issues with this pod. First, the host has some vocal fry. It’s hard to listen to her voice. Second, it takes several minutes for the pod to start. The beginning 5-10 min is just how you’re doing type stuff. And lastly the synopsis provided for each book is too on the fly and so it’s hard to follow (meandering at times). If these things were improved I would continue to listen but as is, I had to give up it.

This podcast is good to let you know what is out. But apart from that there is very little of worth from listening to the two hosts. They give a list of warnings or triggers about each book that is ridiculous and so childish (‘for this murder mystery the warnings are murder, crime, violence, hate …). Also they preach about about topics and people in a very unprofessional way. Their wholeness gets in the way of any attempt to be a professional objective critic. I would not recommend.
