  • CupcakeFarms
    Terrific podcast, engaging discussions
    I enjoy every episode.
  • Julia 77222
    Waste of time
    Don’t waste your time with this podcast. Everything she says is so self-explanatory. Plus about half of the show is just ads. i’m not saying this to be rude, I just know how stressful college preparation can be, and I want everyone to be able to make the most of their time.
  • nucuplmnjuyh

    Book Dreamer
    Book Dreams is an absolute delight. Always bright, warm, and witty, Julie and Eve discuss all sorts of book-related subjects and bring in incredible guests along the way: bestselling authors and translators, bookstore owners, a curator of illuminated manuscripts, activists, historians, teachers. I leave every episode with new knowledge and a smile.

    A bright spot in dark times
    Book Dreams gives me a lift every time: stimulating and smart, it deftly maneuvers the balance of being substantive while still being fun. Like a good book, it's easy to love

    Delightful!
    Erudite, unpretentious and fun, Bookdreams is a delight. I love spending time with these intriguing and cozy podcasts whose hosts deeply love and investigate books with precision and warmth. These are gem-like, well-edited pieces with no rambling or deadening banter.

    A magical journey into magical books
    This is the podcast you've been looking for. No hype, just two kind and wise guides, sharing ideas about books they love (and books about ideas they love).
  • ThornDragn
    For those who love all things bookish!
    What an absolutely charming tribute to those who read and aspire to read more! A quirky and whimsical weekly dose of bibliophile bites. Eve and Julie are wonderful to dream alongside. This is a literary podcast MUST for readers of all ages, genres, and dreams!
  • Ghhtddd
    Exactly what I needed during this time!
    I’m a huge fan of Julie Sternerg’s books so I started listening. Love both of these ladies! And I love their book recommendations!
