Customer Reviews
Fantastic podcast for all book lovers
Great podcast that covers a variety of books and bookish topics. The hosts are a great mix of incredibly smart and informative as well as warm and friendly to listen to. Highly recommend.
Sarah’s good; Chris is a jerk
Gave this pod a try and found Chris to be obnoxious and annoying. He hated a book I loved and his reasons were unconvincing except to prove how clueless he is. Sorry, Sarah. Get another co-host.
