“I loved listening to Jordan and Annie go through the match madness brackets! I totally support Tom lake as the winner! I really enjoyed Jordan’s reasoning for choosing certain books , particularly the book by an author who borrowed his coat.”

“What really drew me in is Annie, the host. She is engaging and manages to draw the listener in without ever sounding pompous or taking herself too seriously. So many book podcasts are either very high brow in a grating way or too dumbed down and don’t tackle the sort of literary fiction I deeply...”Read full review »
