Customer Reviews
For Book Lovers!
Wonderful podcast, very informative. It’s perfect for those looking for a book to read!
How I Find the Next Book I’ll Love
It’s that simple. I listen to these interviews, get intrigued by an author, and suddenly I’m absorbed in the book — and that author’s bibliography.
Book Lovers Rejoice!
Miwa is a wonderful host and gets authors sharing stories beyond their books that make us love the books even more. Perfect to listen to on a drive or while doing yard work and other tasks that take you away from reading.
