About the Show
Katharine, Casey and Katelyn are your three hosts. They met while working at a television news station in Kansas City, and quickly bonded over their love of books.
When their careers took Katharine and Casey out of Kansas City, the trio knew they needed to find a way to stay in touch, and what better way than to share their love (and at times frustration) of the book world with others?
Inspired by viral internet book sensations that got way too much attention, and knockout stories that sadly got little hype, the three saw a gap in the market. There just aren't enough honest book reviewers in the world, especially speaking to women who really need to prioritize their time carefully.
So take a break with the Busy Girls Book Club! We swear it's worth it. Your hour spent listening to us break down book recommendations weekly will save you countless hours of heartbreak over mediocre novels. Plus, we think we can help you find your next book obsession.

Hi guys. After a career in television news I finally traded up for the world of public relations. I now work for a school district in Liberty, MO, a suburb of Kansas City, where I also grew up. Books have meant a lot to me throughout my entire life. There is so much to learn from them, and what each book brings to the table is unique.
As a podcaster, I think I'll bring a nice balance of moderation and antagonism. I like to push the group to think of each book from a different perspective. I'm definitely not a hater, but I'm also not without my own strong opinions. I fight for my perspective while also making room for other people's ideas.

Howdy! I grew up in a suburb of Austin, TX, but now work as an executive digital producer at a television news station in Lansing, MI. I didn't always love to read - I hated the books I was assigned in school - but eventually realized that the world of books was so much bigger than what I was graded on. As an adult it's been a great way to connect with others.
I can definitely be a little blunt, but as a book reviewer, I think that's a good thing. As someone who didn't used to love reading, I get that sometimes other time pressures are important to consider when choosing what to read. I think I can help people realistically find novels they'll love.

Hey y'all! I'm originally from Dallas, TX, but now live in Sacramento, CA. I work as a journalist for a local paper and love my job so much, but it can be stressful. I've always found a safe, relaxing way to unwind in books. Even as a kid, books were a place I could retreat to when the outside world was too much, or I needed some alone time.
I like to think I'm a savage critic with a heart of gold. I admire and respect all authors who are brave enough to write something and send it out into the world. I want to bring relevant critiques to a novel while also respecting that all art is good art.
