The Novel Idea Podcast ladies have known each other for over 15 years!  They first met in fifth grade, when Athalia approached Liz during a playtime.  Athalia and Liz became fast friends after that, much of their relationship centering around their love of books.  Liz and Athalia still read very frequently and always discuss their latest reads with each other.  They both decided to donate their free time to creating this podcast centering around their love of books.  Like many readers, Athalia and Liz often find themselves sticking to the same genres. These ladies hope that this podcast gets them out of their comfort zone and they’ll be expand their lists of favorite books.
