“Reading Glasses changed my life. I hadn’t read more than 5 books a year for 6 years due to a very intense period of burnout, despite having been an avid reader in the past. Brea and Mallory brought the exact right balance of gentleness and enthusiasm to get me back in the saddle. They also...”Read full review »

The production quality is also excellent and the ladies are very pleasant to listen...”Read full review »

“I held off on listening to this pod for a long time because I was worried it would expand my already bloated TBR list. Well, it did, but it’s totally worth it. Brea and Mallory are great and I’ve learned about a bunch of new authors through them. Plus I’ve gotten better at putting down books I...”Read full review »

“These delightful two are avid readers and discuss “wheelhouses” i.e. the sub genre of subject matter that would definitely entice you to pick up that book and dive into it immediately. It helped me realize topics that I find irresistible.
They start each show by talking about their current reads....”Read full review »
