I love this podcast. I can listen to my favorite authors talk about their books nd what inspired them to write and what their ideas were in the first place and what they changed from their first idea to the finished product.”

“This was one of my favorite book series as a kid and I’m glad to hear that members of this generation are enjoying it. Thanks for a great episode!”

“Our son Aaron was fortunate to have participated. It was an event that was memorable for all the right reasons. First and foremost, it made reading exciting for Aaron, who continues to be a voracious reader to this day. Kitty was relaxed with the children, interested in what they were saying, and respectful as she took their comments seriously. Aaron’s reaction to Kitty’s interview was ‘Kitty was like a regular person.’

As a family of readers, we were thrilled with Kitty’s Book Club, and with her!”
