Author Bios

Hey, I’m Alex. I’ve always been a book lover, but let’s be real—finding time to read these days is tough. Between work and everything else, I can’t afford to dive into a book that doesn’t click. That’s why I started getting together with Sam to chat about books we’re curious about. We break them down, share what grabbed us, and it’s like getting the best parts without the fluff. It’s just two friends hanging out, making the most of our limited time.

Hi there, I’m Sam. Just like Alex, I miss the days when I could lose myself in a book without watching the clock. Our catch-ups became this space where we could geek out over stories and ideas, all while keeping it short and sweet. We realized that if we love these chats, maybe others would too. So here we are, sharing our conversations with you—no scripts, no jargon, just genuine talks about books we think are worth your time.
