This is Chatting Books, a podcast where-- you guessed it-- we chat about books. We'll be covering a whole bunch of stuff including our fave titles and authors, talking shit about bad book covers and about getting into publishing. There's no required reading, a lot of digressing and we would love book and topic recs!

Please forgive the third member of our podcast, Amy's laptop, for breathing so hard in this prologue. It won't be a regular thing, promise x

Lots of love,

Amy & Mia x
