Great book reviews

I’m new to this podcast but she is so detailed in her reviews that it makes my TBR list continue to grow.

New Favorite Book Podcast!

I’m loving this new podcast from Kayla! I’ve already read some great books that I never would have picked up without Kayla’s recommendations. Can’t wait for future episodes!

Excited about Mondays again!

Professional Book Girl is the best bookish podcast. I’m so happy Kayla is back with her books recommendations. It definitely motivates me to read outside of what I usually read and she never disappoints.
