About This Podcast

Bound by Books is a podcast hosted by two friends whose lives look very different, but whose love of reading keeps them connected. Hannah (late 40s, rural Wales) and Nikki (late 30s, London) share what they’re reading, tackle joint reads outside their comfort zones, and debate big bookish questions - cover art, TBR piles, and whether you should ever abandon a book. Expect honest opinions, lively discussions, tea-fuelled chats, and occasional shouting “JUST TALK TO HER” at the page. New episodes every other Thursday.
