The ladies who come together and discuss books do such a wonderful job. The content is very lively, the books discussed diverse in nature and the laughs constant. While it would be great to have some male voices added to the mix from time to time to counterbalance the femininity of the show - itâs still brilliant.
My favourite podcast. Once a month is not nearly enough, although judging by my TBR pile - it is! Keep up the awesome work!
p.s. love Not Books ;-)
Listening to this is like settling in for a good chat about books with your really well-read and interesting friends, with the added benefit of not having to worry about being smart enough to contribute to the conversation yourself. Much appreciated.
All of my reading list comes from the wonderful hosts' expert recommendations. I don't read as many books as I would like, but it's nice to know that when I do that it's going to be time well spent. It is always a wee treat when a new episode arrives.
itâs great chat about great books from great people who love books.
Thank you for this refreshing, chatty podcast. Once a month is not enough!
This is a really great podcast which helped me get through two really tough times in my life: walking to work and walking home from work. Really.
You ladies are wonderful. Great banter. Great observations on literature, events, and life in general. đđź
This is great!
