Easily my favorite of the Book Riot podcasts (even though I've been listening to the OG show since it's beginning), this podcast has led me down so many reading rabbit holes--plus the hosts are lovely.
Love it!

Always enjoy this podcast, thank you! I listen to most of the episodes multiple times. Corgi updates, tippy taps, and opinions are delightful!
Just discovered, and I love it!!

I just discovered this podcast maybe two weeks ago, and it is very binge worthy although my TBR list is growing exponentially! One of my fave book review podcasts now!
Why is Katie still a host?

No offense to who she is as a person but is this really the right host for this podcast? She never reads. Every episode includes her reasoning for why she doesn’t read any more. She often just uses the same books for multiple topics. Sometimes she talks about a book before she finishes it and she’s completely wrong on where the book is going and it doesn’t even fit the topic. Also, because she doesn’t seem prepared for each show she often rambles and rambles. Book Riot has to have better options!
