What a lovely conversation! I'm such a fan of Louise and her channel. And I'm so happy to have found your podcast. What a gem!

[@BookCougars]

Hi, Johanna! So nice to meet you and glad you enjoyed it. 😻

[@philnasmith9755]

I can attest to how fantastic Louise’s series on the W.P. Non-fiction Longlist was. I am a regular NF reader and thoroughly enjoyed the series - and now I am enjoying the books that sparked my attention based on her reviews. Glad to have been introduced to your channel and am looking forward to watching some of your videos.

[@CarolAttrux]

This was great! I follow Louise’s channel and enjoy her commentary very much! Thank you for this.📚😀

[@BookCougars]

Glad you enjoyed it!

I read on the plane ✈️ was where the crawdads sing by Delia Owens

[@Nastya-readsandlifts]

Oh, boys and fiction! What a great day it was, when my child came home with a friend (they were 16 or 17), and he just got stuck at my fiction+ poetry shelves. And we discussed a bunch of them (including Plath, btw), and I got RECOMMENDATIONS (!). Of course, when he noted Ocean Vuong wanting to read it, I gifted the signed copy. He is always welcome in our house 😂

[@BookCougars]

Thank you for sharing this beautiful story! How amazed he musth have been when you gifted him that signed copy. 😻

[@SavidgeReads]

This was soooooo lovely to watch. What a trio. What a treat. Ps. I wouldn’t have killed the artist formerly known as my mother for shortlist spoilers… just not spoken to her for a while 😂

[@BookCougars]

Well that's a relief! 😂 Thank you for your kind words, Simon! We loved talking with your Mom and watching her videos. 😻

[@jorjastonej]

What fun! Three of my favorite book ladies 💃💃💃

[@BookCougars]

Aw, thanks! We love Louise.
