…their site should be called, Book Snob. This last episode where they picked the It Books of the Year was my last Book Riot podcast (and I’ve subscribed to many of their shows over several years). They weren’t picking the “best” of the year, instead the “it” books of the year and of course Fourth...Read full review »

Love this new addition to the Book Riot podcasts. I’m getting so many new book recommendations and have found myself persuaded to read books I wasn’t previously excited about (and possibly a bit of the opposite, too, which I appreciate so I’m not spinning my wheels on books I’m not going to...Read full review »

If you like books, this is like candy! Jeff and Liberty banter about what books will be the best sellers each month. You get a little background on authors, the publishing world, seasonal sales, etc. They make me want to read everything.

Very cool and interesting to hear what is happening at Red Tower Books. Thanks, Jeff, for introducing me to Fourth Wing. Am age 70 and cannot wait for the second book release in November. Older humans love dragons, too. Deb Romary

I love this podcast! I love getting a bit of an insiders perspective into what’s happening in the book world. I also love the very literary interviews that happen on this podcast. They’re wide ranging, but always fascinating.

Full disclosure: I came to this podcast from the All The Books! podcast, which I LOVE. The original concept for First Edition, when Jeff first described it, sounded great. But, what this is actually turned into is mostly the monthly “It” Book Knockout episode. I love those episodes! They have...Read full review »

Really loving First Edition, particularly the monthly knock out rounds. It really helps me refine my TBR list and is a fun listen!

This is different then the usual book podcasts I listen to. I love the discussion of the rankings of the books, and I do like interviews with people in publishing industry. This podcast is definitely in my book podcast rotation.

This literary podcast is fresh and invigorating! The It Book discussion is fun, informative and I enjoy hearing the podcasters’ reasoning to place one book over another. The moderator is knowledgeable about both books themselves and the business of books. Thoughtful insights and irreverent...Read full review »

I’m really enjoying this podcast, especially the it book of the month episodes. I love hearing about what’s coming and I immediately add them to my TBR list.

What a fun new way to talk about upcoming books. I loved April’s pic!!!

Really enjoyed the first episode esp the It book for April format. I would listen to an It book episode every month. Came out with several books for my TBR pile. Wanted to note that I rarely read non fiction, but will read anything David Grann writes.

Ahhh, a new project from the Book Riot Podcast co-host! Off to a great start. Can’t wait for more. I often wonder what creative things the book industry folks will do next. Unsurprised that Jeff (and Book Riot) is one to keep innovating. Grateful.

I loved the whole podcast but esp the knockout section, where the host and guest debate which of upcoming book releases will become the It book of the month. I appreciated the overview of what’s coming out and the format was more fun to listen to than just hearing a list. I’m already hankering...Read full review »

I am an avid Book Riot Podcast listener and this was great in the way that Book Riot is, but so different and a nice breath of fresh air! Can’t wait for the next episode!
