I absolutely love love this podcast. I just started to get back into reading after many, many years of not. I love all the books Jenna suggests to her book club so thought I’ll check out her podcast. Almost all these interviews keep my attention the entire time I don’t get bored and some of them I’ve never heard of which makes me go look up their books. Slam dunk of a podcast!! Check it out.

I really enjoy this podcast! One minor complaint is that Jenna repeatedly says “yea” throughout every episode. It’s so distracting and hard to ignore. Otherwise, I think she’s a great interviewer with interesting guests.

I have always enjoyed your uplifting personality. Your Grandmother was such a wonderful person. I am a democrat but I vote for the person that I believe is best for our country. I honestly believe we would be better served without party and more about the qualities of the candidates. Be it television or podcast your words always bring a smile to my face. Keep on being you.

Thank you for this insightful, upbeat book review! What a delight! So excited for your new morning show too! You’re THE reason I watch!!

So excited to see this podcast coming soon. Go Jenna!

Hey guys! Listen up, I’m 100% disabled, and books are my lifeline.. seriously. I know it sounds weak, because I was once earning a living, now I sit and watch every one else living.. and I find such a great escape in books. It’s another life, one that isn’t mine, that has some fantastic adventures!! I’m usually into murders, doesn’t sound good, so this is a fun way to hear about other books.

Just found Jenna’s podcast. Love her. She’s very real. Will be listening to more! Thanks for your genuine spirit, Jenna.

Books are a huge part of my life, as is Jenna’s. She’s so fun and I always enjoy the author she interviews. Go Jenna!

Will this podcast return soon?

I always enjoy listening to Jenna in everything she offers. Jenna is sincere and creative and it comes through on her interviews. I would like to hear more from her with the authors She has recommended.

I have really enjoyed listening to Jenna‘s podcast. I’ve gotten to hear from some authors that I’ve already read, and I’ve been encouraged to read books from authors I’ve never read before. Really wondering why there have not been more posted? Will Jenna be recording more podcasts?

Keep the episodes coming!

Why have the podcasts stopped! 🥲

Love her conversations

When I heard that you were going to do a podcast on books, I wanted to tune in. I love it! You have a down to earth funny and relatable personality. You have picked authors I have not read yet but can’t wait too read. A++ Are you not doing anymore— I haven’t heard anything for awhile?? Please return asap.

This is such an enjoyable podcast to pop on while cooking, relaxing, or folding laundry! The guests are varied and interesting. Also, the episodes are not too long which makes it easy to listen to.

I love, love, love this show. Jenna interviews authors of all genres. Makes me want to expand my reading to things I may not have picked up on my own.

Luke Russert roams the earth people can relate. Not really. Tough to swallow for me

I love that you did a follow up with Tara Westover. One always has questions about how a person is doing after they’ve revealed to the world disturbing events that happened to them. I’m happy to learn that she is striving and is working to be okay.

I wish WMDs would destroy this podcast, but we searched Iraq and no one can find them… only corpses of the innocent

I absolutely adore this podcast! I love Jenna’s interview style and especially LOVE all of the guests she has chosen to talk to about their writing and their books! I haven’t always been a big reader but this helps me select books that I feel more confident about enjoying once I take the time to check them out from the millions of choices on the shelves at my public library.

I love to read but now that I listen to Jenna I’m finding new authors and love finding books that I don’t normally go towards.

Jenna is so genuine and the interviews are not forced but entertaining conversations that give me great insight into their lives.

I have been counting the days for your reading podcast, Jenna. It’s all that I hoped for and more! I enjoy your noninterruption to the guest and yet you can easily sneak in a question or two. Really looking forward to more of your podcast! Thank you -Laura.

I love everything about this podcast. Great variety of authors. Great interviews!

A reader who loves a podcast hosted by a reader about award winning authors. This is the perfect podcast for me and anyone who loves to read. I highly recommend.

Love the show! Huge fan

I love everyone of Jenna’s podcasts!

Jenna asks good questions that reveal her thorough absorption of the author’s work.

I have enjoyed every single episode so far!! The music intermissions drive me CRAZY though.. 😂 still love it!

I love the episodes! Thank you for creating this!

I love this podcast so much! Jenna is a fantastic interviewer and her love of books and reading shines through. Her questions and smart and so well thought out and really help the listener understand both the author and their books better. I look forward to each new episode every week!

Thank you for this podcast! It is wonderful to hear these interviews with authors I love and to get to know them on a personal level, Jenna as well! I look forward to tuning in every week!

I learn so much from listening about the lives of others. Jenna is a delight and asks great questions, I appreciate her efforts to share hope with everyone.

Love these interviews with such a diverse group of authors. Jenna does an excellent job of asking the right questions. Can’t wait to hear more!

Such a great podcast!! I am so excited to follow along. And I looooove the music in between, very soothing! Colleen Hoover was a delight.

I’m so happy to have discovered this podcast. Jenna has a down-to-earth, good old fashioned way of interviewing her guests. It feels like a conversation with a friend. Thanks for this wonderful podcast, I’m enjoying these conversations very much!

I love Jenna’s down to earth questions, and how can you not love Colleen Hoover.

I don’t watch Today all the time but I caught it this morning and was happy to hear about Jenna’s podcast. Listened to Judy Blume episode this afternoon and it didn’t disappoint. Followed the show!

What a wonderful woman!! I enjoyed the podcast so much I’m following you now. I love to read. Listening to Judy Blume’s soft and soothing voice just as I imagined when I was reading as a young girl makes me want to read her books all over again!!!! Thank you Jenna, you ask such good questions and I love the tenderness in your voice that lets us know you are truly a genuine fan! Thank you Mrs. Blume for letting us get to experience your imagination!!

Thank you for interviewing Javier Zamora. His book SOLITO is a must read for everyone. It will make you feel. Period.

Fantastic extra to reading the book . What a brave young boy and now young man. An amazing journey like no one could imagine going through and at just 9 years old . Thank you Jenna for this recommendation and the interview . Keep writing Javier !!

If you don’t watch TV like me, this podcast is a great way to “see” JBH’s interviews with great authors from her club. Worth checking out for sure.

I enjoy her books & so enjoyed your podcast with her. A behind the scenes look!🌺

Great opportunity to gain insight to wonderful authors. A little bit of feedback for you- slow down the dialogue a little. It was great content but seemed rushed. Can’t wait for new podcasts! Thank you Jenna!

Jenna, slow down. You talk way too fast.

I just listened to your two first podcasts! They were fantastic. I never had heard of these authors and will definitely look them up and read their books. Like yourself, I was an elementary teacher who taught first, 3td and 4th grade. Before I retired I taught ESL students and all of these students were in my home state of Connecticut. I did quite a bit with promoting books and their authors with my classes. I had my students dress up as favorite characters in their stories; had my older students do author studies where they read several books by a particular author and then compared and contrasted these books; and had students write to authors telling them how much they enjoyed their books. My students loved getting letters back from many of the authors. We also invited authors to come to our school and several did. After I read “Island of the Skog” to my first graders, Steven Kellogg not only wrote a class letter but drew pictures of the characters from this story and mailed these to us. Boy, did my students like that. They wanted to read more books by this author. I love that you are doing this podcast and can’t wait to listen to Judy Blume and other authors of children ‘s books as well. Some of the authors I shared with my students were Maurice Sendack, Eric Carle, Leo Lionnie, Patricia Palacco, Jan Brett, Bill Peet, Judy Viorst, Tomie de Paola and Beverly Cleary. My third graders sure enjoyed Ralph’s adventures on his motorcycles. The questions you ask the authors are intriguing and thought provoking. Keep up this excellent work! Sue Lincoln PS I’m a big fan of yours!

Not really a podcast fan but decided to try this one because I love books so much and of course Colleen. Thank you Jenna. I loved it. Cant wait to hear more.

Love how real Jenna is on Today and that carried through to the podcast. Sounds like you’re having coffee or wine! with a friend ❤️. Look forward to listening regularly.

…she’s like a BFF, a cool cousin, a great gal. And now-we get more of her and some fascinating guests. Can’t beat it on a long commute!
