A new conversational podcast about books.

Books I Make My Husband Read is exactly what it sounds like: two people — Kristy King-Pritzl, an avid reader, makes her husband, Jon — read specific books and then they share their thoughts in this open, conversational podcast.

A Very Merry Bromance

By:  Lyssa Kay Adams

Country music’s golden boy Colton Wheeler felt the most perfect harmony when he was with Gretchen Winthrop. But for her, it was a love him and leave him situation. A year later, Colton is struggling to push his music forward and if it weren’t about to be the most magical time of year and the support of the Bromance Book Club, he’d be wallowing in self-pity.

Just listened to the Fourth Wing episode and absolutely loved it! Even though fantasy is not my go-to genre, I left the episode excited to read the book for myself!

Solidly entertaining. Candid and sassy while providing insightful content.

Great banter and thoughtful takes! One of my favorite duos!

Who the heck are these jokers?

Here lies a sentence or two around who we are and teases at why we decided to start this thing.

We’re into books, obviously

Well, one of us is. The other has more or less been thrust into them.

Our hearts belong to our dogs

Harvey & Spencer drive us nuts but wouldn’t trade ‘em for the world.

Traveling around

Allows us to experience personal growth and self-discovery.
