One of the best book podcasts!
Ok, if you are a book lover or just occasional reader, this is the podcast for you!! I always enjoy the author chats and special guests. Cindy really has her finger on the pulse with great books that are coming out soon. She has a way of making you feel like you’re sitting on a couch with her and the author. Five stars!

Cindy does really thoughtful interviews with authors, getting to the heart of the backstory in a way that is engaging to avid and casual readers alike. Highly recommend.
I’ve had the pleasure of both being a guest on Cindy’s wonderful podcast and listening to many many episodes. Cindy is thorough and insightful and often asks unique questions about both story and process to truly engage the listener! I can hardly wait until the next episode is released!

Love this podcast
Cindy’s insights into the minds of writers—and others in the field—not only inspire my reading-list, but also give a fantastic behind-the-scenes look the journeys books take from an author’s idea to a reader’s imagination. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!

FABULOUS INTERVIEW!
What a thrill to be Interviewed by Cindy Burnett - her podcasts are not only interesting but also truly capture the essence of an author’s work! Xoxo

In-depth, smart interviews
Cindy has a way with authors that brings out the very best - I love the way the conversations flow and her questions are alway insightful.

If you’re a reader, this is your happy place!
Cindy asks the best, most unique questions of her all-star line up of authors! The conversations are so natural and fun it’s like getting to overhear a great conversation between two friends over coffee - and you get to learn a lot about books to boot.

A wonderful way to learn about new authors
What a pleasure to listen to a podcast that brings new, interesting books to my attention! Cindy’s a great interviewer, and I always look forward to the stories that come out of her questions.

My favorite book podcast!!!
I love this podcast! I would give it more than 5 stars if I could. Cindy’s interviews are perfect length - I love that they are usually around 30 mins or less - and she asks great questions. I also enjoy how she not only interviews authors but other people in the book world. I learn so much about the book world and get so many great recommendations. Cindy’s podcast is a must listen and subscribe!

!
Cindy has an incredibly interesting podcast about all the behind the scenes with authors about publishing their novels! not to be missed

Terrific podcast
I stumbled upon this podcast by accident, but it was a wonderful accident. Cindy is a thoughtful and insightful interviewer, and her approach is warm and friendly as well. I have learned of many books that I have added to my tbt from listening each week. As someone who became visually impaired in recent years, it is especially helpful for me to learn of interesting books through listening to podcasts rather than attempt to read print reviews. Really a terrific podcast! Thanks, Michelle
