The Page 1 Challenge is a short-form podcast for book lovers where we DON’T judge a book by its cover.... or even by the author or the title! We judge it by reading the first page before knowing anything else about the book.
Can page 1 be captivating enough to make YOU want to read the book? That’s the challenge!
So, is judging a book by its first page fair? Oh, heck no! But it is a fun little game, and a refreshing change from the usual book review and author interview shows.
Of course, AFTER reading page 1 we do reveal the author and title, and we usually have some color commentary that the author provided just for our podcast listeners.
