What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

I really like Krystle’s interview style and her voice is very clear. The podcast covers a variety of book topics. Sometimes reading a book isn’t enough and you want more of a community and that is what this is!

Sara H1 · Sep 2025

Krystle seamlessly blends her fun, witty humor with knowledge of books in a way that when you listen to her (and guests) on your walks or in the car, you feel like you’re on a personal phone call or facetime with her! Time flies in the best way in her podcast episodes that you can’t help but want to binge listen one after the other. For all bookworms and smutty book lovers- she’s your go-to girl.

Alyssa Burns · Mar 2025

With a mix of humor, fascinating guests, and insightful author interviews, this podcast keeps every episode fresh and engaging. The hosts ask great questions, making the conversations feel natural and entertaining.

KatieE1043 · Feb 2025

Krystle establishes the perfect balance of professionalism and comedy. The way she keeps things light hearted but also informative is something to applaud!
