Yay for books out of my comfort zone!

I am on the third episode and I am enjoying this. The books that have been chosen are not what I would choose on my own but I am not complaining. Exactly what I needed out of a book club conversationally speaking. I hope more episode are made.

Brilliant. Thank you

Just what we need in current times. I want to thank Denise Mina for being so open and sharing her personal stories as well which I strongly related to. Thank you Graham for letting her speak without interference. I will certainly be following along from Australia.

Tons of Fun For Readers

If you love to read and are always looking for more good book suggestions, this is a wonderful podcast. Graham is, as ever, charming AF and the guests are a delight. Not too highbrow and not too lowbrow, as Goldilocks would find, this podcast is just right.
