“To those complaining about not getting plot summaries...it’s a short podcast, the important thing is what moved the authors most about the book! If you’re intrigued - look the plot up. I love the more nuanced, meaningful conversations on here about what makes a story so impactful for someone and...”Read full review »

“If you can get past the tonally offensive voice and dimwitted comments from the host, Elizabeth, then you’ll love this podcast. Be prepared to endure endless banter with very little substance. Looking for insights on why something is worth reading? Seeking to know the style, plot, characters or...”Read full review »

““Have you always been a reader?”, asks Elizabeth. “No”, said Diamond, “I began reading at the age of three”. Fantastic!
“Once you’ve been to New Guinea, the rest of the world is boring”, said Diamond.
“Babies learn to be careful”, says Diamond. The way Jared Diamond choose to raise his...”Read full review »

“Why tf would you interview people about books ..and not give ANY plot summaries? Why am I listening to celebrities’ thoughts about a particular book when I have no idea what they’re talking about? Unless you’ve read said book, it’s meaningless.
Also - hyper-liberal. Can’t do an episode without...”Read full review »

“Elizabeth,
Thank you for this interview. I’m a “Big Fan!!!” Of Jared Diamond, Darwin, Ekman and the like. I’m not a Scientist or of the Scholarly type but was “a Fly on the Wall” for Carla Dove and her team from the Smithsonian Department in Djibouti Africa. This was my one of last tours and I...”Read full review »

“Same exact concept with really good guests but missing the in-person element, 1000 moon-based countdown, and thematic depth of 3 Books.”

Consider me hooked. I'm adding a lot of these books to my library list — and looking forward to...”Read full review »

“Books of Your Life is a civilized and smart interview show hosted by the founder of Goodreads. I Just listened to the first 3 episodes in a row and I love host’s voice and the whole tone of the show. I even just bought a copy of Thirst and can’t wait to start it! Keep it up!”
