TRIPLE TREAT BOOK CHATS

Martina Nicolls and Tamar Zhghenti are introducing a new Podcast series called TRIPLE TREAT BOOK CHAT.

We have created the Podcast TRIPLE TREAT BOOK CHAT to present and review 3 contemporary books under one theme.

The TRIPLE TREAT BOOK CHAT Podcast will include 3 authors and therefore 3 literary book reviews. In addition, there will be an author bio and a short excerpt from each book. We add a classic to the mix and conclude with a quote from a well-known author about the theme and how it resonates with the 3 contemporary novels.

Each Podcast will follow a theme with a triple format:

  • 3 contemporary books,
  • 3 bios,
  • 3 reviews,
  • 3 excerpts,
  • 3 questions,
  • 3 answers,
  • and 1 classic literary book. Voila!

Martina Nicolls has a collection of individual book reviews on her Feast or Famine website – HERE.
