The Books N' Betches podcast is an absolute gem for book lovers and even those who may not consider themselves avid readers. As someone who recently discovered Bookstagram, I stumbled upon Erica's Reels on their Instagram page and was instantly intrigued. Upon realizing that it was a podcast, I decided to give it a listen and boy, am I glad I did. This podcast has quickly become one of my favorites, and I have thoroughly enjoyed every episode I've listened to so far.
One of the best aspects of The Books N' Betches podcast is the banter between the hosts, Erica, Maria, and Kristen. They have a great dynamic and their conversations about books are fresh and fun. They know how to make you laugh while discussing some of the most interesting topics in books. Whether it's talking about ridiculous character names or diving into popular series like ACOTAR, they manage to make every episode unbelievably enjoyable.
Another great aspect of this podcast is that the hosts are incredibly relatable. They have real conversations about books, including both highly popular ones as well as slightly controversial ones. They approach their discussions with an unbiased perspective, sharing what they loved and didn't love about each book. It's like catching up with old friends and before you know it, the episode is over and you're eagerly waiting for the next one.
Additionally, Erica, Maria, and Kristen are not only funny but also incredibly talented hosts. Their reviews, discussions, and arguments are a joy to listen to. Through their recommendations, I have discovered numerous books that I wouldn't have come across otherwise. They truly have a knack for introducing listeners to captivating reads.
On the downside, there really aren't any major flaws with this podcast. However, if there was one minor issue to point out, it would be that sometimes the episodes can feel too short due to their entertaining nature. But this is easily outweighed by the fact that you can simply binge-listen to multiple episodes in one go.
In conclusion, The Books N' Betches podcast is a must-listen for book lovers and anyone who enjoys funny, lighthearted conversations. Erica, Maria, and Kristen make you feel like you're part of their bookish conversations with their humor, relatability, and excellent recommendations. Whether you're an avid reader or just looking to dive into the world of books, this podcast is sure to entertain and introduce you to some amazing reads. I highly recommend giving it a listen and joining the betches' bookish journey!
