Each week, freelance writer and lifelong bookworm Alli Hoff Kosik will challenge a guest to reread a literary throwback or to experience for the first time ever a book they may have missed as a kid. After that, they'll be asked to spill all the feels and all the opinions about that book on the air for your podcast-listening pleasure. Every Tuesday, you can find us breaking down an old school read from our tween and teen days on a new episode of the show. We'll cover everything from The Baby-Sitters Club to Holes, Nancy Drew to Harry Potter. This time around, we're a little wiser (yay!), a lot older (ugh.), and of legal age to drink wine... so we'll have a lot to say. Happy Reading!
I live in Philadelphia, by way of Brooklyn and Washington, D.C. I love reading, rainbow sprinkles, watching embarrassing television, and laughing at my own jokes. After five years surrounded by books working in a dream corporate publishing job, I left my company in September 2016 to pursue writing full-time. Since then, I've worked as a full-time freelance writer and editor, also teaching fiction-writing online and IRL. I launched SSR in 2018.
My debut novel TOO BLESSED TO STRESS hits shelves in 2026 from Grand Central Publishing.
