“Love the book suggestions and guests. It has changed how I read and pick books. Broadened my knowledge too. One suggestion…it’s hard to hear the end of each sentence as you almost whisper it. Beautiful voice but often hard to hear.”

WSIRN is my go-to weekly podcast on the reading life, and its affiliated website/app Modern Mrs. Darcy is great for book discussions too.
