Love this podcast! The hosts have great chemistry and give thoughtful, articulate as well as witty reviews.
Perfect podcast for avid readers, readers who wish they were reading more, and those who are barely holding on. Plenty of inspiration for your bedside book stack, but it’s the charm of the discussion that will keep you subscribed.
This is my absolute favourite book podcast, Joe and Amanda have great chemistry, and never fail to give thoughtful interesting recommendations which I would never have found myself, and they’re always a pleasure to listen to. Couldn’t recommend enough!
So glad I found this podcast. I had been looking for a book podcast that wasn’t just endless author interviews and PR fluff pieces. Love the dynamic between the hosts and their recommendations are always spot on.
A fascinating and fact-filled listen that’ll have you racking up the library requests and stocking up your bedside table. I’m particularly a big fan of the specials if you don’t know where to begin with Prize shortlists and certain genres📚.
