The Wonderful World of Bookish Podcasts

mgr book newsI remember buying my first iPod and how wondrous it was to be able to carry all my music in one tiny device. Even more wondrous than having a ton of music in my pocket, in my opinion at least, was the invention of the podcast, particularly the bookish podcast. Whether you are interested in new books, old books, or want to know what’s going on in the world of publishing there is a podcast for you. Here are some of my favorites.

Blogger at Passport Books
I grew up in northern California. Since then I have lived in Boston, New York, London, and Los Angeles. Wherever I go, I am sure to bring a book for with a book I can travel anywhere in time and space. As an avid reader with eclectic tastes, I'll give just about any genre a try. Whether it is a mystery, fantasy, science fiction, romance, literary fiction, or nonfiction - bring it on. My favorite read is anything with a good story, well drawn characters, a compelling plot, or well crafted sentences – bonus if a book contains all of the above. I joined Mocha Girls I wanted to meet other African-American woman who enjoyed books and reading as much as I do. In Mocha Girl I found an amazing group of women who understand the power of a great story.
