The book suggestions are great. It's hard to get past the "um" and "like" tics of some of the co-hosts. :-(

I really enjoy this podcast! Thanks for all the great recommendations. It would be a 5 star if they improved the audio quality for one of the podcasters. It sounds pretty low quality and stands out in contrast to the other audio.

I used to love this podcast, but it no longer interests me since the co-host predominantly promotes gay/queer material that I am not interested in or prefer to read. Sorry!

Are used to love this podcast because it really provided great synopsis for the books as well as fun banter. I loved the personalities! Recently I found myself bored. I am not really a fan of Patricia‘s voice/flow of her synopsis on books. It takes far too long to give her opinion about a book. She reads one maybe two sentences and then causes her period of time when you think it’s over that she starts again, it really makes me lose my thought and it makes me bored. Sorry

Absolutely loved Kelly for the backlist.

This podcast hasn’t been the same since Rebecca left. Liberty and Rebecca were the perfect pairing because Liberty chose some more niche and quirky reads / reads that were specific to her and not always listeners, and Rebecca tended to choose memoirs, nonfiction, and books that appealed to readers in a less niche way. I know Liberty loves to read, but I feel like the podcast has turned in to her talking about how she loves super long books, fairytales, magical fiction, etc. And the other cast members who rotate in and out recommend soooooo so so many middle grade books. It just feels like I’m wasting my time now and it’s rare that I get any new recs from listening. I used to get probably and genuinely 75% or more of my reads from this podcast years ago, but again since Rebecca left it’s been a very different show. I’m just shy of the point of unfollowing and no longer listening, and that makes me genuinely sad.

I love the Danika Ellis episodes. When I listen to book recommendations I want a very calm, easy to listen to voice. Danika has the perfect podcast voice and phenomenal book recommendations. Please please please include have Danika episodes more often!

Love listening! Bonus: Host Liberty is an animal lover!!

Liberty can you please stop going into so much detail? You are telling us the whole book. Stop it! Puleeze stop! When you say and then she did this and then she did that - there’s your first clue!

Been waiting so long for episode 414 - would love a shoutout to Cammy!!! 🥳🥳🥳 Looooove this podcast, thank you for all the amazing recs!!

Samhain is actually pronounced “saa-wn” or “sah-wen.” (It’s Celtic so it’s not pronounced anything like what you’d expect.🙂)

Liberty sheds light on a variety of genres. As an author, I love to hear what she likes and why.

Liberty always has great book suggestions, I’ve read many of them. I especially like the weeks that Vanessa is on. I do have to fast forward to get past the chitchat.

I love this podcast!! So many great recommendations and just fun book talk. Listening to Liberty is like hanging out with a friend who knows all the best reads—she is truly the most entertaining book podcast host I’ve heard. ❤️

Liberty is the famous cat-loving literature luminary who has been bringing All the Books! (along with some talented colleagues) into our ears for many years now. I never fail to find some new book to add to my queue after each episode. It is almost unconscionable to fathom how I would never have read things like The Queen of the Night, The Secret History, You Too Can Have a Body Like Mine, Ella Minnow Pea, etc without her recommendation. Come join us and follow her cats on Instagram.

Liberty Hardy is a gem! So enthusiastic and wacky. I could listen to her all day. 💖📚I love this podcast!

great podcast! love the book recs and the hosts!

First off. I love this podcast. Next do they still teach kids about Thomas Edison in school? I know they did to me but I graduated like 12 years ago now. So… I was just wondering what they do about that guy now? 🤔Thanks and all the love -Brandi

Recent 40 minute discussion about changes to the podcast format yet no clear message of what exactly the change is? Or i just missed it amongst the weird zoom that should have just been kept private. Why did they waste everybody's time with that when it is their podcast. Just say we are doing a new format and it is ___.

I tried but I can’t take Liberty. Had to unfollow. Her energy is too hyper for me

I love listening to the podcast!

Tuesdays are my favorite! Liberty is always a bright spot on this podcast. She is always enthusiastic and positive. Her taste is so broad and she always being things that are not necessarily in my wheel house. I always appreciate that she doesn’t bring in politics (as some book riot podcast tend to do). She talks books and that is what I’m here for.

Every week I look forward to Tuesday to listen to Liberty & company talk about their favorite new releases.

I like the format of the show and have added various books to my TBR! But they often reveal way too much about the books’ plots. They talk about plot instead of vibe and themes and I really don’t like that.

This podcast is the best (only) place to get new release information every week. I love it. I wish it was more professionally hosted; the banter/chatter is…so bad. Just talk about the books. That is why we are here.

Liberty is great and has really grown with this role over the years. Some of the other hosts are hard for me to listen to. Reading word for word from a prepared script is difficult to listen to

I love getting to hear about books I probably never would have come across! Liberty and the other hosts do a great job of “selling” the book without giving too much away. I appreciate the trigger warnings and that they are honest in only talking about books they thought were good!

The format is great, but the hosts make it hard to listen to. It feels like listening to Middle Schoolers trying to make a podcast, and I hate to say this but Liberty’s voice is just not made for podcasting. It doesn’t help that she gets so screechy and starts yelling. Also way more YA and middle grade than anything else.

I have listened to this show off and on for years and I have read SO many books I never would have come across! Some of my favorite books I have ever read were because of this podcast; A Long Way To A Small Angry Planet by Becky Chambers, The Ten Thousand Doors of January by Alix Harrow, the poetry of Mary Oliver, are just a few that I have loved. As a more sensitive reader who is easily affected by what I read, I also really appreciate the trigger warnings given. Thanks BookRiot team for making my book life even better!

I love this podcast so much and have been listening for several years now! I read one of my favorite books of the last 10 years, The Immortalists by Chloe Benjamin, based on their recommendation! At this point, I feel kinda like Liberty is one of my book loving friends!

This podcast has changed my life!!! They have heightened my passion for reading and turned me on to so many books I never would have heard of. I look forward to listening each week. I especially love Liberty’s creepy/dark book recs. Recently enjoyed ‘Good Neighbors’.

I look forward to this every Tuesday, and I e already picked up countless new books because of this show. Lately I’ve finished and loved Goodbye, Again and also The Witch’s Heart, both of which I heard discussed on this show.

Loved The Storied Life of A. J. Fikry from a recent backlist podcast. Thanks for the rec.

This is my most looked forward to podcast every week! I have read SO MANY amazing books over the last few years because of this show and my TBR has grown exponentially.😆 Some of my most favorites that I’ll be eternally grateful to ATB for introducing me to are The Need by Helen Phillips, Severance by Ling Ma, Mexican Gothic by Silvia Moreno-Garcia, The Noodle Shop Mysteries by Vivien Chien, and The Memory Police by Yoko Ogawa. <3

I have been listening to All The Books for over a year now and my TBR (to-be-read) list has never been so rich. I like how the hosts are light on the chit-chat and heavy on the book talk. I have read so many new books, some from genres that I would otherwise not have tried. Keep up the great work!

Way too many YA and Middle Grade. Book Riot has a kid lit podcast

First, I love you Lib!🤘🏽 Thank you BR team for helping me add marvelous discoveries to my TBR list. This is THE podcast to listen to if you are a BOOK LOVER just like me. I’m from Latam and I love the variety of selection you share with us all. Long live Book Riot! 💜💜

This podcast opens my eyes to books I normally wouldn’t hear about or find. I love the hosts and how smart and funny and articulate they are. It it a highlight of my week to listen to!

I’ve gotten great recs from this show. My go to spot when I’m in a book slump.

Relevant and entertaining.

Been listening to this podcast for ages and I never miss a week. Always chock full of wonderful books to add to ones tbr list. Even when the book isn’t in ones “wheelhouse” the discussions are still interesting and enjoyable. My only frustration has to be with the incessant use of “trigger warnings”. Everything under the sun is described as a TW and evidence has shown that TW don’t do a thing. Aside from that the hosts are incredible .. the show is the first thing i listen to every Tuesday !! Highly highly recommended

I am absolutely in love with this podcast. The weekly recommendations has resulted in an impressive accumulation of books I want to read. Liberty is hilarious, intellectual and heartwarming. These women are a powerful example of charming, witty, intelligent women that any girl/woman should aspire to be. Thank you for such a wonderful treat for my brain each week!

This is one of my favorite podcasts! They recommend books for a wide range of interests and I’ve found some of my most favorite reads and authors through them. The hosts are funny and kind.

You can tell that this podcast takes a lot of work and planning, and it makes for such good reviews. When a book is new, it can be hard to tell if you will like it from a traditional print review or the publisher description. Hearing the personal reviews on this show gives the context I need to know if I will likely love a book or not.

I love this podcast (even if it makes my TBR cry)!

I enjoy the variety of books they review. I’ve picked up books and read that I would have never considered.

Love this podcast for diverse book recommendations. Liberty & team have never let me down...plus, it’s just fun to listen!

I look forward to hearing about the new releases every week & always leave with new additions for my TBR. Liberty’s bookish enthusiasm is infectious!

I have loved this podcast for SO long. I regularly daydream about having Liberty’s job. She’s probably one of my all time favorite podcast hosts (which is saying a lot because I’ve listened to a LOT of podcasts since back before smartphones when podcasts had to be downloaded onto an iPod). She’s funny, down to earth, and most importantly, LOVES books and makes me love books even more while I listen. I get so many wonderful book recommendations from this terrific podcast, and I thoroughly enjoy the descriptions of each of the books discussed! Thank you Liberty and all the other hosts (I miss Rebecca!) for all the delightful hours you’ve given me, listening to you chat about books!!

This is one of my favorite podcasts. It's the best part of Tuesdays. Only downside is my TBR is growing out of control with so many good reccommendations!
