An Incredible Place for Authors and Readers!
I was so fortunate to have recently been a featured author on an episode of Book Gang. I was blown away by the experience! Amy was such a generous and thoughtful reader of my book, she asked such spot-on questions about the content of the story and the process of writing it, and she made me feel right at home and comfy during our talk. With book coverage shrinking every day in media, this podcast is a critically vital resource for both authors and readers to find each other. I have already discovered some amazing new books through her podcast. This is an amazing place for book loving people! Subscribe! Thank you, Amy!

Excellent book podcast
Absolutely love Book Gang for deep dives into books and authors. Host Amy asks thoughtful questions and the conversations are fun and deep— truly just one of the best literary podcasts around, like the best sort of book club.

The One Podcast Readers Need
What an amazing podcast! Not only is Amy a book champion, but she’s going to give you inclusive peeks into publisher’s, how authors work, and what makes a book resonated with readers. Prepare to laugh, learn something, and add some amazing titles to your TBR pile.

Book Gang is my Jam
This podcast is an absolute standout. The interviews are consistently thoughtful and deeply informed - and never surface level. Amy asks questions that show she is genuinely curious and creates space for authors to open up about their work. Come for the interviews, but stay for the book selection. This podcast excels at uncovering hidden gems ~ ones I likely would not have found on my own. I love how Amy expands my reading life in unexpected ways. A must listen for anyone who loves books 📚✨

Okay, let’s begin by saying no one works harder at pulling literally EVERYTHING together than Amy Allen Clark. From recommending books to read alongside a recommendation, to playlists, to news articles and interviews with great authors, this podcast has it all. Amy is sweet and interested without coming across as star crossed by best selling authors, and always gives intelligent and insightful interviews. My favorite podcast and book club by far.

Wonderful, insightful literary podcast!📚
I discovered Amy’s Book Gang while on a mission to listen to every podcast author Rebecca Lehmann did for her novel The Beheading Game. That episode hooked me and has me excited to listen to past & future recordings. Amy’s thoughtful questions gave me great insight into a novel I already loved. I’m looking forward to discovering new to me books through Book Gang!

Insightful and entertaining
Book Gang is one of my favorite podcasts. Amy brings such heart to her shows and it is clear how much time she spends preparing for her interviews. She is thoughtful and infuses so much joy into the episodes. She puts so much effort into finding unique stories and authors to highlight and Amy has become one of my top reading recommendation sources. I dare anyone to listen and not love the podcast!

One of the Best!
I have followed Amy for well over a decade. There is NO other person who I trust more to select incredible books and authors. She has led me to some of the greatest books of my life, and her commentary is always spot on. Amy is an incredible human being in addition to being such an authority on books. She feels like a friend at this point, and I’m so grateful for her devotion to the book club and this podcast.

I would give six stars!
Not only does Amy bring heart and warmth to her conversations, she also comes into them incredibly prepared—her questions are so thorough and thoughtful and as a result the conversations are so much more in-depth. Highly recommend for writers, readers, and anyone in between.

Fabulous experience!
As a fan of this podcast, I was so honored to be asked on to discuss my debut novel. From the initial emails, Amy was so kind, professional and organized. I have greatly enjoyed her conversations with other authors- her questions are thoughtful and well-researched, and the podcast is masterfully produced! Can’t wait to listen to her next episode.

New favorite bookish podcast
I just listened to my first episode of the Book Gang Podcast, and I loved it. Amy Allen Clark takes what might be a typical interview with an author and elevates it. She digs in and asks questions that really get to the heart of what the book is about. I can’t wait for the next episode!

Smart Plus Heart
Amy Allen Clark chooses a fascinating panoply of authors to come talk about the story they wrote and their own life story. There’s nothing boiler-plate about this insightful, informative podcast that appeals to both readers and writers. I especially enjoy the guests’ comments on writing craft and their tales of triumph over adversity.

Great book/author pics
New to this book podcast and I’m so glad to have found it. Amy’s passion for sharing books comes through in the insightful questions she asks authors in every single episode. The adjacent book recommendations for each episode are great. Her reading taste aligns with mine so that is definitely a bonus. Not many book podcasts are interviewing authors anymore. So happy to have found one that does.

Incredible Interview
I had the absolute pleasure of being featured on Book Gang with Amy Clark and it was one of the most fun, thoughtful, and illuminating conversations I’ve gotten to have about my novel, Aftertaste. Amy truly engages with every book she highlights, and her passion for storytelling shows through in her insightful questions and deep thoughts not only about plot and character, but about the writing process, authorial intent, and the roles books play in our experiences of the world. I’m so grateful to have gotten the chance to have such an engaging conversation, and to share it with this amazing community.

Great Recs!
I have not been disappointed with any book I’ve decided to read after hearing it discussed on this podcast. There are a handful of books I’ve found here that I haven’t heard of anywhere else.

A Literary Gem with Heart and Insight
Amy Allen Clark’s Book Gang is everything I want in a literary podcast—thoughtful, dynamic, and refreshingly honest. Amy has a gift for asking the kinds of questions that go beyond the surface and really get to the emotional heart of a book. Her preparation and genuine curiosity make each conversation feel intimate and illuminating. What sets this podcast apart, though, is Amy herself. She’s not just a brilliant host—she’s a connector. After I appeared on Book Gang, she introduced me to fellow debut author Sarah Damoff, and that connection has blossomed into a beautiful friendship and creative kinship. That’s the kind of community Amy cultivates, and it makes this space feel truly special. Whether you’re a lifelong reader, an aspiring writer, or just someone who loves hearing smart people talk about meaningful stories—this podcast is a must-listen.

The Book Gang podcast has definitely become one of my favorite reading-related podcasts! If, like me, you like a mix of contemporary fiction, historical fiction and memoirs, this might be the podcast for you! The host does wonderful and thoughtful author interviews too.

What a serendipitous find!
Amy reached out to me to see if I would be a guest. After agreeing, I dutifully decided I’d listen to 4 or 5 episodes to get a feel. Well I loved them so much that I have now listened to many, many more. I am savoring each now and am so excited I came upon this podcast. Such great topics discussed. Such great books recommended. Such a wealth of great information, ideas, books and so much more!

Libby App
I loved the Libby App episode. I’m new to audiobook reading, so I’ve started with Libby and live blissfully free of Overdrive transition stress. I learned a lot of new tips from you and your Libby guests, so my audio reading became easier. Thanks all around!

Guest and listener
I was fortunate enough to be a guest on Book Gang but I’m also a frequent listener. Amy has such a knack for book recommendations and the way she describes a story makes me want to read them all!

I consider Amy a friend, sooo I may be a bit bias here but I truly love this podcast! Her love of books and discussing books is so genuine, so honest, so fun. I am such a fan of everything Amy does and can’t wait for more ♥️

Best Ever!
I’ve been a member of the MomAdvice Book Gang since its inception, and adore everything about it. That Amy Allen Clark has expanded so wildly successfully into the podcast scene is of no surprise to me. Guests of the show are friendly and entertaining, while Amy’s engaging personality, knowledge, questions, and conversation command my attention — when I generally have difficulty working with spoken audio and my wonky attention span. Truly a feat, I tell you!! Give Amy and the Book Gang Podcast a listen, for sure!

Fantastic book podcast focusing on under the radar gems!
This just might be my favorite delivery format of Amy’s stellar content. As a long time follower of Amy’s blog which transformed from a lifestyle/mom life focus to one incorporating book spotlights and author interviews, a reader of her own frugal lifestyle book chock full of relatable advice, tips and fantastic recipes, to a thriving book focused Facebook community and book club, and now this latest podcast format, I enjoy all of Amy’s content. Amy is authentic while holding herself to an extremely high standard of producing high quality output. It’s no surprise her podcast is adding fantastic books to my already toppling TBR! Any has introduced me over the years to fantastic under the radar gems such as Walking on Trampolines, Eight Hundred Grapes, and Cloudy with a Chance of Drowning, and she now provides her listeners peeks into books you aren’t hearing about all over Bookstagram! I am thrilled to be a Patron supporter and look forward to hearing Amy’s voice on my ears each week describing favorite reads. Highly recommend listening to Amy’s podcast and hopefully joining her Facebook book club community and ultimately becoming a Patron supporter!

Thank you Amy!
I’ve been a member of Amy’s online book club for a few years and became a member of her Patreon community the minute she started one! This podcast is so fun to listen because she has such a passion for the books she suggests, you can’t help but read them, and end up loving them, too! It’s like chatting with a good friend that loves books as much as you.

Let’s talk about books baby!!!
While I am not the traditional audience for advice related to moms, I fell in love with this podcast and the host, Amy Allen Clark! As an avid reader, I love learning what else needs to be added to my “to read” list.

Inspired to read!
Amy has a real gift for connecting people through relatable content and inspiring people! This podcast took that to another level for me! I’m just now learning the technology to find podcast likes this because of Amy, and this fun discussion on reading helped me learn about the world of information and entertainment in a way that brings the content I’m most interested in (and beyond) to me. Following, reading, and listening! Thanks Amy!

Best book gang out there!
I’ve been following Amy Allen Clark for a long while, first on her blog, then on social media. The book club section of her site is what hooked me, and these podcasts are just further effort she’s made to connect with people who love to read. Amy’s picks have never led me astray (looking at you, Reese-love you, but don’t love your book picks) and she is incredibly accessible. If you just love reading, you will love these podcasts! I listen with my Goodreads “want to read” list open!

Love getting more Amy and more book recs!
Amy is so thoughtful, so insightful, and so fun when recommending books. I know if she tells me I’ll like a book, I need to add it to my stack right away! So I’m glad to now have a podcast to listen to, on top of her excellent Facebook group. Book nerds in my earbuds for the win!

An inviting book-lovers’ podcast….just what I needed!
I have been part of the MomAdvice Book Club on Facebook for several years now and was sooo excited when Amy started her Book Gang podcast. She seriously has such a way with words, an incredibly positive vibe, and I love the variety of topics (all-book related of course). I look forward to each Thursday when there is a new one released. And join the Mom Advice Book Gang Patreon club to get even more fun book gang content while you’re at it. ❤️

Another great book podcast
I love all the content that Amy Allen Clark has on the internet about books and I was very excited to see she is putting her content out in podcast form!

Excellent selections and conversations
I love that Amy finds the lesser known and debut novels, and doesn’t shy away from difficult subject matter. Not only have I expanded my stack, I have expanded my horizons with her selections. The Mom Advice Book Club is a gift and this podcast is just icing on the cake. I’m so pleased to be a part of the community Amy has created.

Mom Advice Book Gang hits the mark!
As a member of the Mom Advice Book Club on Facebook I have long enjoyed Amy Allen Clark’s perspective on books. I find her approach down to earth and easy to relate to. Her podcast is an extension of her success on Facebook and if you love books you should definitely give this podcast a try. It is like sitting down with a friend and a warm cup of tea or glass of wine.
