“Like other reviewers this was recommended by David Butcher on the Radio Times podcast and I am so glad I followed his advice. One of my favourite podcasts - Philippa’s summary of the books and her interview style are perfect. Love it.”

“Phillipa is an engaging host with a charming warm personality and that is not the least of the many good reasons to listen to Quick book review.
It can be so hard to pick out a novel and so disappointing to buy one and find it’s not for you or a dud. Phillipa’s skill is to give you enough of...”Read full review »

“I knew just one of the authors - and the same applies for a lot of the reviews but I’d heard good things. So straight in for a listen to the Dolen Perkins-Valdez episode.
Sold.
Never heard of the podcast before, or the author, or the book.
Now off to bookshop to buy the book. I predict this will...”Read full review »

“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...”Read full review »

“I so thank the day this book junkie found this podcast. I am fairly new to it but it enhances my Monday morning walk. Only problem is that although free to listen, buying the books can be costly. Worth it though.”

Phillipa is natural and funny and I love her introductions about her family life. It’s very entertaining. So get a cup of tea, put your...”Read full review »

“These reviews are short and to the point, yet thorough. There are interesting interviews with authors, too.
Philippa is very entertaining and engaging. Her interview style is relaxed, and her questions are insightful.
If you want a review that leaves enough time to actually read the book, this...”Read full review »

“I love this podcast, Philippa is a very relatable podcaster, she doesn’t take her too seriously and is tactfully honest with her reviews within a vast range of genres. I have a huge pile of ‘to be read’ books now. Keep on doing what you do best and don’t go changing on us. I look forward so much...”Read full review »

“I absolutely love this podcast. I discovered it during lockdown and caught up on all the episodes from the start. I am an avid reader and seem to have the same taste in books as Phillippa the host. As a result I now have a huge TBR list of books! Usually there are around 5 books reviewed and an...”Read full review »

“Philippa is like the friend you’d call if you needed cheering up—and maybe a good book to read. Out of the several books she reviews each episode, at least one usually goes straight on my to-read list. Philippa gets straight to the point with each of her reviews—the book’s blurb, a bit of...”Read full review »

“I’ve just started this podcast & I have already read the first two suggested books & agree with the narrators views. This is very rare for me as usually people have never heard of the books I read; with the exception of the bigger authors such as Grisham, DeMille, Connelly etc. Even...”Read full review »

“It’s like an episode of Miranda combined with a book review. Her quirky warm character makes it so easy to listen. Fun, lighthearted and maybe a little tale from her day to make you chuckle, making you feel like one of her besties. A must listen.”
