Reading Under the Influence
We are best friends of 10 + years who love to read and discuss all things book related. What sets us aside from other book related podcasts is that we are very different in all aspects especially the genres we prefer to read. One reads thrillers while the other loves romance, one loves physical books while the other loves her kindle. Join us for book recommendations, honest reviews, and drink recipes to top it all off.
