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!
