All the Books!

If you want to know what's hitting bookstore shelves this week, All the Books is the show to follow. Hosted primarily by Liberty Hardy from Book Riot, with rotating co-hosts like Patricia Elzie-Tuttle, this podcast drops two episodes a week -- longer Tuesday installments running 45 to 55 minutes, and shorter Friday roundups at about 15 minutes. Between them, they cover an enormous range of new releases across every genre imaginable. Liberty's enthusiasm is the engine that drives the whole thing. She reads at a pace that most people would consider medically concerning, and her recommendations come with the kind of specific, opinionated context that's actually useful. She won't just tell you a thriller is good -- she'll tell you it reminded her of a specific book from three years ago and explain exactly why. The co-hosts bring their own tastes, which keeps the recommendations from tilting too heavily in any one direction. With nearly 1,000 episodes since 2015 and a 4.6-star rating from over 1,200 reviews, the show has a loyal following. Reviews consistently mention Liberty's personality, her love of cats, and the fact that listening regularly will wreck your TBR pile in the best possible way. Book Riot also publishes a companion newsletter and maintains a New Release Index, so the podcast fits into a larger ecosystem of book discovery tools. It's the closest thing to having a well-read friend who works at a bookstore and texts you constantly about what just came in.
