Listening to Michael Connelly episode while reading his new book” the waiting”. I’m halfway through the book and the podcast already gave away THREE big spoilers that haven’t been discussed yet! Not cool!

This is a great podcast, the energy that the hosts bring is exactly what you’d want for a show that highlights fiction books and their authors. Extremely well done and thankful to have found this podcast!

I was initially thrilled to find these podcasts with such well-known, popular authors. Very disappointed I was! Authors are too verbose, interrupt, talk over each other, poor production value, distracting, extraneous noises, etc. I would think most listeners are interested only in what the authors have to say. Gave up after a few tries……

I began watching the show at its onset but have switched to listening on a podcast when I drive. I have been introduced to so many more authors and books the last two years. In addition, I feel as if the Fab Four are my friends. Next month I will be in Savannah. I plan to eat at Sunday Cafe per MA suggestion and spend a day in Beaufort! Great job ladies!

I love this podcast! It’s great to catch up with Friends and Fiction episodes while I’m out for a walk or off in the car. These women—whose books I’ve long loved—are so real, down to earth, witty, and insightful. They bring great author guests and ask all the questions! The Writers’ Block segments with Ron are a fascinating addition to hear insiders’ stories from authors and others. Five stars!

I enjoy this podcast so much! The guests are so interesting and I have learned so much! Thank you for this podcast! One bad thing though…..my TBR is growing by the minute. Lol

As a reader, I love this this podcast! I love how the Fab Five discuss books, bookstores and their guests Karen Slaughter was a hoot! As an aspiring writer, their tips are invaluable and they help me push on! Maybe one day, when I get published, I may even be a guest! You rock!

I’ve been watching Friends and fiction since April or Early May 2020. At a time when we couldn’t get together with family and friends, there you all were every Wednesday to talk about books but also what was going on in the world at the time and still sadly hasn’t gone away. I was familiar with a couple of the F&F authors and your books, but was able to meet new authors and read their wonderful books too. I hadn’t listened to Podcasts prior to COVID and now love them and audio books and Ebooks as well as regular books. Thanks for being there and for your amazing stories and virtual friendships and laughter! 😍

Love this group and podcasts! Great insight into the literary world and life!

These podcasts cover all kinds of different parts of reading and writing. I love each new episode every Friday

These ladies have so much to discuss and share in the world of literature. They have a gift of bringing women together!! I am such a fan of this podcast! Loving it!!

I was SO THRILLED to find this podcast, so many of my favorite authors in one place- talking about books- which I LOVE- holy cow! I really tried to like it, but won’t listen anymore. The production value is horrible- there are so many echoes, some of the contributors sound like they’re far away...I can only tell the author talking by their poor sound quality each episode, it’s such an amateur podcast- I’ve listened to hundreds of podcasts that are virtual over the pandemic and none have such poor sound quality like this one. Plus, there are always people whispering in the background, there are phones ringing, text tones going off, no professionalism at all. And no one can decide who’s the moderator so someone is always talking over someone else- so there are long minutes of “oh no, you go ahead” “I’m sorry, you go ahead” and then they again talk over each again. How are these best selling authors? It makes me cringe. What a disappointment.

I just finished reading We Begin at the End...astounding book! I listened to this podcast while I was reading the book and it made this amazing read even better. Thank you to Patti and Ron for this wonderful episode that had me saying “OMG” several times!!!

The best thing to come out of 2020! Love these authors!!!❤️

Great podcast!!! Every episode is so wonderful!!! Five incredibly talented authors talking books with amazing guests!! So much knowledge gained every week!!! Friends and Fiction is the highlight of every week!!

Best group of authors right here!! I’m loving how they are connecting with their readers! They are all the sweet and amazingly gifted. I hope they keep up their weekly talks and interviews for a long time. Thank you, ladies!
