Wonderful Range of Books and Authors!
Listening to Cindy interviewing an author gives me the feeling I’m sitting right next to them, sipping a glass of wine and listening to a great conversation about books and reading. She interviews wonderful authors across many genres, and always asks thoughtful questions. There’s always interesting topics in every interview — and I love hearing the authors’ (and Cindy’s) book recommendations! Highly recommended!
Great Book Biz Buzz
Cindy’s taste in books is impeccable (if, as a former guest, I do say so myself!) and she is expert at generating thoughtful, insightful & entertaining glimpses into the author’s life & craft. Highly recommended for anyone interested in the book business.

Of all the “bookish” podcasts I follow, this one is the BEST! Cindy Burnett balances thoughtful and intelligent conversation with fun interaction with her guests. I wish I would have met her while I lived in Houston, but now am grateful to have her in my ears wherever I go. I have discovered many wonderful books and authors through Cindy and her community.

I have found so many wonderful books through her podcast. The interviews are always thoughtful and engaging. I look forward to Thoughts From a Page every single week!
I always look forward to new episodes on this podcast! Cindy asks insightful questions and the conversations flow so well with the authors. I also really enjoy the variety of authors - both in genre and background - on this podcast. Cindy's book selections and author interviews have also steadily grown my list of books to read. My most recent favorite episode was the one with Riley Sager. I'm really looking forward to reading his newest one as well the others discussed on other episodes.
A+
This podcast has everything a book lover needs: great recommendations, in-depth author interviews and a pretty cover! Each episode brings another look into a new book and the writer behind the story.
Cindy’s podcast is one of my favorite literary podcasts! She has so many great author guests of books that I’m reading or interested in hearing more about. The interviews are all so timely and filled with interesting questions (I love hearing about the covers!). Some of my favorite episodes are the ones with Elizabeth from Fabled bookstore. They preview books for the upcoming season or talk about their favorites—my TBR gets filled up especially after these episodes!
Wonderful, engaging interviews
I enjoy Cindy’s interviews so much, even if I haven’t read the book, I find the way Cindy asks questions and the authors she talks to so interesting. I almost always end up adding the book to my tbr!
