Further Information
Format
- While mostly about romance books (the show's subtitle is “Find your next (most likely romantic) read!”), they do recommend other books.
- Short episodes, usually around 15-20 minutes long.
- Kim introduces the podcast and gives a short account of the premise, then Aimee says who would like it, and why, “usually with a lot of caveats”, because asking Kim about whether she would recommend it.
Trivia
- Define “treasures” as books you will probably re-read, and own multiple copies of to lend to others.
- “Trash” books are still a good read, but probably not ones you will want to read again.
Hosts
- Kim - has a teaching background, long-time Pratchett fan
- Aimee - would love the podcast to be more analytical, but restrains herself to remain spoiler free
- Mike - Aimee’s husband, who fills in on episode 147 when Aimee has laryngitis
