Let Raeleen Speak!!!
I do like the podcast. I think Books Unbound is fun, entertaining and light-hearted. I’ve listened to every episode that Ariel and Raeleen have released, so obviously I do enjoy the podcast, but I have two criticisms, each of which knocked an entire star off of my rating... 1) Interrupting is one of my biggest pet peeves and Ariel constantly cuts Raeleen off mid sentence. I would say Ariel probably speaks about 70% of the time, while Raeleen only speaks 30%, which is a shame because I would love to hear more from Raeleen (she’s also mentioned the fact that Ariel cuts her off/talks too much in multiple episodes, so that’s a bit uncomfortable). 2) They often recommend the same books over, and over, and over again!!! If I hear one more book recommendation for Sheets, Laura Dean Keeps Breaking Up with Me, or My Year of Rest and Relaxation, I will stop listening. I’m not sure they’re well read enough/qualified enough to give a diverse field of recommendations... They’re funny women, and I appreciate their witty banter, but the two cons I’ve listed above are beginning to push Books Unbound to the bottom of my feed.

More reviews of Books Unbound
podcast is more about what books they’ve bought instead of read and it’s annoying when ariel speaks for/over raeleen all the time considering raeleen actually reads more so it would be nice to hear more of her thoughts.

I didn’t realize *just* how much I loved this podcast until they took a month long break off, and I was constantly checking for updates! So so happy they’re back. Just feels so refreshing listening to them!

Not to be dramatic, but Books Unbound is the perfect podcast. Ariel and Raeleen are perfectly candid to where you feel like you are their third best friend chatting with them about all the books. Listening to this podcast each week, not only do I get great book recommendations, but I laugh out...Read full review »
