Customer Reviews
What book clubs should be
The hosts love the topic and are knowledgeable. This sounds like a real life book club discussion between actual friends. Their enthusiasm for the books makes me want to read more. Booze doesn’t hurt either.
I wish my lit classes in college were like this
Super fun show. If you're interested in literarature, books, learning, vampires, sexiness, etc...you'll love this podcast. These two really know their stuff and present information in funny, engaging ways. I'll definitely be adding this to my podcast rotation
Hilarious, both on topics and off
So far, I’m loving this show! These are the convos I would have with my friends if they loved lit the way I do! I enjoy the off topic banter (has me dying) and the discussion of the texts alike. Definitely worth listening to— it’ll have you laughing and wishing you could jump into the conversation pretty much every episode!
