My new best friends!!

These three are hilarious, and listening to their podcast makes my day so much better! They don't know me, but they are my new best friends and I giggle out loud right along with them. Seriously..... When I'm in public listening with my airpods in people look.... 🤣🤣🤣

Chit chat with my book friends

I adore all these human beings! I appreciate the thoughtful conversations about books, authors, plot lines, and publishing and how it reflects and impacts society. Love the humor that is thrown in as well. I always look forward to this podcast and can’t wait to hear more. Amazing job guys!

Blair&Books ,

These three are awesome!

I want to be friends with all these ladies! Their opinions on books are fun and informative. It’s like listening to a very fun little book club! Can’t wait to listen each week!
