Customer Reviews
A gem for lit fic readers
I stumbled upon this gem while searching for a different bookish podcast and I LOVE it. This is the literary fiction podcast I’ve been looking for. Two really smart, fun and funny people discussing the kinds of books that I enjoy. I’ve already added several titles to my TBR list and look forward to listening to the older episodes.
I’ll keep listening
I enjoy these two ladies along with their book recommendations, I just wish they didn’t interrupt each other.
Relatable. Insightful. And fun!
A newly discovered podcast for me. I’m really enjoying listening to the backlog of episodes. Great discussions and book recommendations!
