Customer Reviews
Warm, engaging, aspiring podcast
I started listening to this podcast having missed hearing the hosts voice on Dumtedum. Wonderful discovery and I am now ploughing through books with so much relish and love all the recommendations!
A quick book review
I love this podcast. I have found so many books to read and enjoy that I never would have without her reviews.
My favorite book reviewer
When I listen to Philippa’s book reviews I feel like I’m visiting with a friend. Our reading tastes are similar and I always end up adding books to my TBR List. In fact, since following and listening to her, my list has grown exponentially. I like every part of the podcast and I can’t wait to listen to the latest episode. Thank you, Philippa!
