Are used to love this podcast because it really provided great synopsis for the books as well as fun banter. I loved the personalities! Recently I found myself bored. I am not really a fan of Patricia‘s voice/flow of her synopsis on books. It takes far too long to give her opinion about a book....Read full review »

Absolutely loved Kelly for the backlist.

This podcast hasn’t been the same since Rebecca left. Liberty and Rebecca were the perfect pairing because Liberty chose some more niche and quirky reads / reads that were specific to her and not always listeners, and Rebecca tended to choose memoirs, nonfiction, and books that appealed to...Read full review »

I love the Danika Ellis episodes. When I listen to book recommendations I want a very calm, easy to listen to voice. Danika has the perfect podcast voice and phenomenal book recommendations. Please please please include have Danika episodes more often!

Love listening! Bonus: Host Liberty is an animal lover!!

Liberty can you please stop going into so much detail? You are telling us the whole book. Stop it! Puleeze stop! When you say and then she did this and then she did that - there’s your first clue!

Samhain is actually pronounced “saa-wn” or “sah-wen.” (It’s Celtic so it’s not pronounced anything like what you’d expect.🙂)

Liberty sheds light on a variety of genres. As an author, I love to hear what she likes and why.

Liberty always has great book suggestions, I’ve read many of them. I especially like the weeks that Vanessa is on. I do have to fast forward to get past the chitchat.

I love this podcast!! So many great recommendations and just fun book talk. Listening to Liberty is like hanging out with a friend who knows all the best reads—she is truly the most entertaining book podcast host I’ve heard. ❤️

Liberty is the famous cat-loving literature luminary who has been bringing All the Books! (along with some talented colleagues) into our ears for many years now. I never fail to find some new book to add to my queue after each episode. It is almost unconscionable to fathom how I would never...Read full review »

Liberty Hardy is a gem! So enthusiastic and wacky. I could listen to her all day. 💖📚I love this podcast!

great podcast! love the book recs and the hosts!

First off. I love this podcast. Next do they still teach kids about Thomas Edison in school? I know they did to me but I graduated like 12 years ago now. So… I was just wondering what they do about that guy now? 🤔Thanks and all the love -Brandi
BrandiInTheBox via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/21/22
Recent 40 minute discussion about changes to the podcast format yet no clear message of what exactly the change is? Or i just missed it amongst the weird zoom that should have just been kept private. Why did they waste everybody's time with that when it is their podcast. Just say we are...Read full review »

Wow! I loved the March 29 episode. I really appreciated your candour! I can’t imagine how hard it is to read all the books you do — I’m happy if I read 5 a month:). Glad to see you’re being kind to yourselves. Keep up the amazing work!!

I tried but I can’t take Liberty. Had to unfollow. Her energy is too hyper for me
minpinjenn via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/08/22
I love listening to the podcast!
ghoulschoolfan via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/07/22
Tuesdays are my favorite! Liberty is always a bright spot on this podcast. She is always enthusiastic and positive. Her taste is so broad and she always being things that are not necessarily in my wheel house. I always appreciate that she doesn’t bring in politics (as some book riot podcast...Read full review »

Every week I look forward to Tuesday to listen to Liberty & company talk about their favorite new releases.
LBCheers via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 01/18/22
I like the format of the show and have added various books to my TBR! But they often reveal way too much about the books’ plots. They talk about plot instead of vibe and themes and I really don’t like that.
letshearitfortheboy via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 12/14/21
This podcast is the best (only) place to get new release information every week. I love it. I wish it was more professionally hosted; the banter/chatter is…so bad. Just talk about the books. That is why we are here.
idontreallywritereviewsmuch via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/22/21
Liberty is great and has really grown with this role over the years. Some of the other hosts are hard for me to listen to. Reading word for word from a prepared script is difficult to listen to
fireinthelab via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 09/03/21
Great content and love hearing about books to add to my ‘to buy’ list. Can’t fault the content but would recommend looking at audio quality. Pitch changes a bit during episodes resulting in volume changes from the listeners side.
becomingbriony via Apple Podcasts · Australia · 08/24/21
I love getting to hear about books I probably never would have come across! Liberty and the other hosts do a great job of “selling” the book without giving too much away. I appreciate the trigger warnings and that they are honest in only talking about books they thought were good!
Rewbacca179 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 08/13/21
Perfect if you don't want to miss anything good! You can trust them to find the right books.Read full review »
Nemesiaa via Apple Podcasts · Great Britain · 06/15/21
The format is great, but the hosts make it hard to listen to. It feels like listening to Middle Schoolers trying to make a podcast, and I hate to say this but Liberty’s voice is just not made for podcasting. It doesn’t help that she gets so screechy and starts yelling. Also way more YA and...Read full review »

I have listened to this show off and on for years and I have read SO many books I never would have come across! Some of my favorite books I have ever read were because of this podcast; A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow, the...Read full review »

I love this podcast so much and have been listening for several years now! I read one of my favorite books of the last 10 years, The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, based on their recommendation! At this point, I feel kinda like Liberty is one of my book loving friends!
Lulu in Chicago via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/09/21
This podcast has changed my life!!! They have heightened my passion for reading and turned me on to so many books I never would have heard of. I look forward to listening each week. I especially love Liberty’s creepy/dark book recs. Recently enjoyed ‘Good Neighbors’.
Jan in a Can via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/06/21
I look forward to this every Tuesday, and I e already picked up countless new books because of this show. Lately I’ve finished and loved Goodbye, Again and also The Witch’s Heart, both of which I heard discussed on this show.

Loved The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry from a recent backlist podcast. Thanks for the rec.
NancyS1 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 05/04/21
This is my most looked forward to podcast every week!

I have been listening to All The Books for over a year now and my TBR (to-be-read) list has never been so rich. I like how the hosts are light on the chit-chat and heavy on the book talk. I have read so many new books, some from genres that I would otherwise not have tried. Keep up the great work!
Anjtastica via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/22/21
Way too many YA and Middle Grade. Book Riot has a kid lit podcast
vlh93 via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 04/20/21
I can’t express how much this pod has helped me through the pandemic. I’ve listened for over three years but since I saved episodes for my precious walks each week when we were in lockdown, it’s become a regular part of my routine and self-care. Now I look forward to listening to them every week...Read full review »

First, I love you Lib!🤘🏽 Thank you BR team for helping me add marvelous discoveries to my TBR list. This is THE podcast to listen to if you are a BOOK LOVER just like me. I’m from Latam and I love the variety of selection you share with us all. Long live Book Riot! 💜💜

This podcast opens my eyes to books I normally wouldn’t hear about or find. I love the hosts and how smart and funny and articulate they are. It it a highlight of my week to listen to!

I’ve gotten great recs from this show. My go to spot when I’m in a book slump.

Relevant and entertaining.
alison librarian via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 03/05/21
Been listening to this podcast for ages and I never miss a week. Always chock full of wonderful books to add to ones tbr list. Even when the book isn’t in ones “wheelhouse” the discussions are still interesting and enjoyable. My only frustration has to be with the incessant use of “trigger...Read full review »

This is one of my favorite podcasts! They recommend books for a wide range of interests and I’ve found some of my most favorite reads and authors through them. The hosts are funny and kind.
Minimalist In Training via Apple Podcasts · United States of America · 02/17/21
You can tell that this podcast takes a lot of work and planning, and it makes for such good reviews. When a book is new, it can be hard to tell if you will like it from a traditional print review or the publisher description. Hearing the personal reviews on this show gives the context I need to...Read full review »
