Welcome to Shrads Talks Books.
A place for nerds, who enjoy words.
This podcast is about books, typically fiction. Authors I read, books I like and sometimes dislike, emotions they evoke, smiles they bring and sometimes…. about the frustration they cause. And since reviews are personal, it’s completely possible, that you don’t like or agree with mine. If that is the case, please feel free to switch off. Don’t be rude, Don’t be a bully, in short…please, don’t be a KAREN.
Happy Reading Everyone...
