The beeeeest
I love these ladies
Love it!
Four rad ladies, book discussion, and pet talk. What's not to love? Highly recommend.
I'm a Squadie
This show is great! I don't get the chance to read a whole lot of books, but I do enjoy listening to intellectual discussion and humor around books I have or want to read.
The group has a great dynamic, they each bring a unique personality that livens up the show, and the personal discussion keeps me laughing!
Plus, I get to write the first review, so that's awesome AF also!
