Customer Reviews
New fave podcast
I discovered this podcast last year and I love it so much. Brea and Mallory offer so many hot book tips and give great book recs. I love the author interviews too! Definitely hooked on this podcast. 🥰
RG helped me kick my 6-year book slump!
Reading Glasses changed my life. I hadn’t read more than 5 books a year for 6 years due to a very intense period of burnout, despite having been an avid reader in the past. Brea and Mallory brought the exact right balance of gentleness and enthusiasm to get me back in the saddle. They also introduced me to Libby! Having a steady stream of library holds on my kindle that have been endorsed by Brea, Mallory, and their cool bookish guests changed the game for me. I love so many of the books that they suggest, both new releases and older ones that I’d missed during my book slump. I also love their dedication to highlighting works by queer and trans people, women, and people of color, as that’s what I prefer to read. Reading Glasses also got me to try audiobooks after a few guests said they liked them for nonfiction! Now I’ll actually read some nonfiction instead of just liking the *idea* of reading it. I’ve read 29 books in the last 6 months, and while I’ll take some responsibility for my own growth, I couldn’t have done it without Brea and Mallory.
Great recommendations!
I've discovered some of my favorite books through this podcast, really well-made!
