Passionate about books and Reading?

I found this podcast right before the pandemic hit and from the first episode I was captivated by Kaytee and Meredith’s enthusiasm, passion, and devotion to both reading and to book characters! They don’t shy away from spicy opinions and they’re in-depth discussions are Always spoiler free. Their Facebook group is my happy place and I’ve made real life friends as well as finding a safe, welcoming place to talk about my life long love of reading with no judgments or criticism. Please give it a try if reading is a love of your life!
