Totally Booked with Zibby
Hi! I'm Zibby Owens, host of Totally Booked with Zibby (formerly Moms Don’t Have Time to Read Books).

Stay in the know, get insider insights, and connect with guests like I do. Every single day.

On Being Jewish Now

This specific podcast is so powerful. . . Essentially for someone like me, who is not Jewish. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can’t wait to read the book.
Can’t

Wanted to love it but couldn’t get past the vocal fry, giggling, and fawning all over the guests.
10 stars!

Just discovered this podcast. Love the ones with authors I’m already familiar with and really enjoy, yet have been introduced to so many new authors that I never heard of but are really good!!
Love it!

This has become my number one way to find new books to read. She does a great job interviewing authors and picks from a variety of them. Including some children’s books and different genres.
Love this podcast!

I enjoy the interviews a lot and have read some really good books because of it. Zibby is warm and not intimidating. People high up the literary scene can be a little snooty, so I appreciate that Zibby is so down to earth and seems so approachable. She’s like a good friend whom you discuss books with. There was a really unkind review that said Zibby bought her way up because of her family money. I have known a lot of people who have inherited wealth and not all of them have created something unique like Zibby has which enriches so many people. Who cares if she has inherited wealth? She is doing great things with it. I am currently reading Zibby’s memoir, Bookends; she is an excellent writer on top of everything else!
Problematic politics
06/10/2024
I started listening to Zibby years ago—when she actually read the books. It’s so uncomfortable listening to her interviews now when it’s obvious she doesn’t know the subject matter because she hasn’t read the book. Additionally, Zibby’s politics are problematic and have taken over the show. She often sounds like she’s forcing guests to comment on and agree with her bloodthirsty Zionist views. She supports genocide and racism and has no interest in presenting a balanced narrative. As a Jewish woman (and mother) I’m horrified by her lack of humanity and have stopped listening to this show.
My Go-To for Books
03/04/2024
Love, love this podcast. Zibby is well read, down to earth and asks thoughtful questions to engage in meaningful conversations. I especially love the variety of books she covers. A must-listen for book lovers!
Bookish and brilliant!

Zibby brings out the best in every author she interviews. I’ve discovered so many new books and authors by listening to her podcast! I love the 30 minute format - quick enough to listen while taking a walk or out running errands - and keeps the conversation going like a phone call with a friend. Zibby’s questions are thoughtful and thought-provoking, welcoming the listener into each book and the story behind each book. I love this podcast!
