“I listen to this podcast every week, whether or not I have read, or even plan to read, the classic they are discussing. From Sara and Chelsey I am learning to better describe the books I’m reading.

I also appreciate the humility with which they discuss a text: acknowledging their own perspectives and experiences that shape their understanding. The only problem with this podcast is that it is forever adding to my TBR...”Read full review »
