Customer Reviews
Exactly what I needed!
I made a vow to only read great books this year. It was suggested I read Demon Copperhead. After finishing, depressed it was over, I was lead to this podcast to relive the joy of the story. The podcast did not disappoint! It was so enjoyable! I looked forward to listening as much as I did reading the book. Paige and Kelsey are the reading friends I wish I had. I am so excited to virtually read and listen along with them! Their breakdown of the books is so much fun, and helps to highlight things I missed or overlooked. Next up, the Fury. Can’t wait to hear the pod!
Love listening to Paige and Kelsey!
I have gotten so much enjoyment out of these podcasts. For some books, after I listen to their reviews, it changes my opinion because their analysis of the plot, character development, writing style and setting brings out things I hadn’t thought about or had missed. In other cases their reviews are spot on with my opinions. One book in particular, Demon Copperhead, was an all time favorite of mine and theirs. I was so disappointed when the book ended as I so looked forward to reading it every night (for many nights!). But then I listened to their podcast and was able to relive the highlights of that book through their podcast in an hour and a half.
I look forward at the end of each podcast for their next recommendation and eagerly await the in-depth review afterwards.
Great podcast!
This podcast found me on IG. They saw I read The Measure and recommended I listen to their podcast review of the book. I loved the different POVs and structure in how the content was shared. Because they talk about the book, spoilers do happen so I recommend anyone listening to have read the book they are talking about.
