The podcast where we give our compliments and criticisms of a different book each episode. Spoilers included!
A little about us:
Paris
I'm a part-time Registered Nurse, but most of my days are spent at home with my toddler. I love sneaking in a good book whenever I can. During nap time, while cooking, cleaning, or even working out with an audiobook playing in the background. This podcast became a fun way for me to share my love of reading and create something that's just mine, outside of the everyday mum routine.
Hannah
Hi, I’m Hannah… I have a passion for travel and often read on the road. I also listen to countless podcasts; there is always something in my ears… So when Paris came to me asking if I’d make one with her. I said yes, absolutely. It’s been a great way to keep in touch, living far away from each other, as well as motivate me to read more consistently. I love keeping up with new trending books and taking recommendations from others
A World War II novel that starts quietly and ends by wrecking you. The Nightingale turns two sisters into two radically different kinds of war heroes, and Hannah and Paris unpack why this story has stayed with them long after the last page. Paris picked Kirstin Hannah’s bestseller because she wanted to be emotionally devastated again before the film adaptation arrives, and both hosts agree the result is a five-star read. They break down the sisterhood at the centre of the novel, the German occupation of France, and the deeply researched historical details that make the world feel painfully real.
Hannah and Paris also talk about the book’s haunting postwar consequences, the way Kirstin Hannah writes ordinary people trapped inside extraordinary violence, and why the final chapters are the ones that will leave you sobbing. If you like historical fiction that is beautifully written, emotionally brutal, and impossible to put down, this one is for you. Essential listening if you want a spoiler-filled deep dive into a bestselling novel before the film is released in 2027.
