This is The Page 1 Challenge! the podcast that’s like a blind audition for books. Before revealing the title or author we read the first page. Is it a famous book or one you’ve never heard of? Is it a best-selling author or a debut novelist? The only thing that matters here is whether hearing Page 1 makes you want to read the rest of the book.
[ SPOILERS - DON'T READ UNTIL YOU LISTEN TO THE EPISODE!! ]
