“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.”
