Hi! We're co-hosts Hannah and Stephanie. We're both avid readers, but we have VERY different tastes. Each week one of us will recommend a book to the other - a book we loved that we think our co-host might hate. We’ll read the recommended book, then come back together to discuss it - and maybe fight about it. Was it as awful as we expected? Did we secretly love it? Did we throw it across the room? Join us each week as we argue about what makes a good book, and broaden our horizons. Maybe you'll find a book you love (or hate).

FROM THE VAULT: July Guest Episode with Ann Marie Norrid
BONUS EPISODE FROM THE VAULT!
For this month’s guest episode, Stephanie and Hannah are joined by their good friend and fellow reader, Ann Marie, to discuss a book that Ann Marie loved and Stephanie hated: The Fourth Wing by Rebecca Yarros. (Hannah hasn’t read it, but we all know she doesn’t care about spoilers.) Join these three friends as they discuss print vs. audio books, the perils of listening to books at work, and the awkwardness of dragon sex (yes, you read that right) in this New Adult fantasy romance novel. And be prepared to laugh. A lot.

FROM THE VAULT: June Topic - The Sense of An Ending Movie
SURPRISE! We've released another BONUS EPISODE FROM THE VAULT!
This month, Stephanie and Hannah make good on a previous idea and review the movie adaptation of one of the books featured on the show. Together they watched the 2017 adaptation of Julian Barnes’ The Sense of an Ending, and then reconvened to answer the all-important question: Was the book really better than the movie?

For May’s bonus guest episode, Stephanie and Hannah invite their friend and fellow book club member, Marla Record, to the show. Marla asked Hannah and Stephanie to read Abbott, the limited run comic series about a Black female detective in Detroit in the 1970s who encounters not only systemic racism, but a supernatural threat to her city.

Customer Reviews
You Definitely WON’T Hate This Podcast
Easily the best thing about this podcast is the banter. Stephanie and Hannah are clearly good friends with a long shared history and a special bond. Out of that mix comes a lot of laughter, funny comments, and shared stories that makes the journey through each of the books they discuss more enjoyable. There’s nothing pedantic about this podcast… well, almost nothing. Hannah often plays the role of the scholar and Stephanie the writer. These personas sometimes lead them into the weeds. But even when they wander off-topic, they’re clearly having a good time and so is the listener.
I’m not in the same generation or gender as these women, and so at times I “eye-roll” a bit at some of the social commentary. I know, I know — “okay, boomer.” However, their discussions of the books themselves are so interesting that I’ve purchased several and have enjoyed them.
I enjoy listening to two articulate people speak with passion about the books they love, and try to persuade their friends to love them too. If you do too, then you definitely WON’T hate this podcast!
Witty, Engaging, and Informative!
Stephanie and Hannah do a great job of making their content engaging, no matter the book. It’s not just a book review, they dive deep into the books and bring in their personal experiences while also doing a great job of remaining socially conscious. I’ve got a long list of books to read because of them.
More pancakes plz
All I want from a podcast is someone to agree with my hot takes and someone to yell at in my car. This podcast gives me both. ALL THE STARS!
