Helped me start reading more

Definitely a casual reader and want to get into it more so these little bites of info really help me figure out what to read. Saves me the trouble of having to look and sort through books. She doesn’t spoil anything either which is so good.

OBSESSED

For someone who was never a reader- this podcast has motivated me to pick up a book in my free time & dive in! I’m in love with this podcast!!

Perfect for the easily bored

As someone who gets bored just from reading reviews to see if a book will get me hooked, these are the perfect bite-sized synopses that are quick, short, and to the point. The host makes very clear what is her opinion and what is fact so you don’t feel like you’re just listening to someone trying to convince you to read or not to read something. I hope longer episodes will be released in the future that can offer more in-depth reviews
