“I only 3 starred this, but I persist in listening to every episode and I do get some really great book recommendations from this show. You can write in to the show to get personalized reading recommendations. I did this one time and my question did not make it on the show. I’m pretty sure it’s because I didn’t ask for a book about a transgender man written by a transgender woman, or whatever. Diversity seems to be their forte. And that’s cool! But I just want a well-written book and I do not care one iota if it was written by a 57-year-old straight white man. Also, they recommend A LOT of YA novels to adult readers and they don’t do a good job of saying, “this is a YA novel”. I have become interested in a number of books based on their recommendations just to start it and be disappointed to find a 15-year-old protag in a love triangle. This seems to be a problem with book riot in general; I guess a lot of adult readers must be mentally stuck in the 9th grade. Neither host likes Game of Thrones, so when they try to recommend read-alikes they fail miserably. Also, neither of them like horror books so they miss the mark most of the time there, as well. In spite of my griping, I do like the show. It is fast-paced, so I never feel like they are droning on about whatever stupid YA book they are recommending to 36-year-old Abby in Des Moines, or whatever. Because they talk about so many books per episode, I feel like I know a little bit about a lot of books. It’s a great feeling to be able to tell my bookish friends, “Hey, I’ve heard of that!””

They could easily recommend the same things over and over but they don't. They obviously really care about suggesting the right books...”Read full review »

“Really? Recommending ANN COULTER to a liberal who 'can't understand the other side' AKA disgusting conservatives. Well, Coulter sold a few hundered thousand books, and Trump received almost 63 million votes. How to explain that? And the remarks like "because.....America" are...”Read full review »
