| 0:00.0 | Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South. |
| 0:08.0 | I'm Annie Jones, owner of the bookshelf and independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia. |
| 0:29.0 | And this week, in honor of in the bookstore day, we're bringing you a bonus episode. |
| 0:34.0 | Back in February, we hosted our winter 2023 Reader Retreat, and one of our retreat events is always a live from the Front porch podcast recording. |
| 0:44.0 | For our February episode, I talked with podcast regular Hunter McClendon about books we wish our favorite authors would write. |
| 0:52.0 | And then we ended our conversation by answering New York Times by the book questions with frequent podcast guests Ashley Sherlock as our moderator. |
| 1:00.0 | Obviously, the sound quality is always a little different with these live episodes, but I hope you enjoy hearing our insights as well as the fun we have when listeners are in the room with us. |
| 1:10.0 | If you like what you hear, consider joining us for our live podcast event in June. |
| 1:15.0 | The event is part of our June Reader Retreat, which is sold out, but we're selling a few general admission tickets to the public for the podcast show. |
| 1:24.0 | We'd love for you to join us as we host our Eric Thomas and Carrie Winfrey. |

| 1:36.0 | Before you listen to the episode, don't forget that this weekend Saturday, April 29th is Indie bookstore day. |
| 1:43.0 | This annual celebration of Indie bookstores is a nationwide event. |
| 1:47.0 | So even if you're not local to the bookshelf, I hope you will consider visiting an Indie bookstore near you. |
| 1:53.0 | I'd like to think that Indie bookstores like the bookshelf are anchors in their communities, places to seek refuge when you need a place of welcome. |
| 2:01.0 | As is the case with any small business, shopping at bookstores like ours ensures we remain in our communities for years and years to come. |
| 2:09.0 | Thank you, thank you, thank you for your continued support from the front porch and our independently owned bookstore in Thomasville. |
| 2:17.0 | This weekend, when you shop online and order a surprise box, valued at $50 or more, you'll receive a free new art print by Lindsay from the Georgia-based stationery brand Pin and Paint. |
| 2:28.0 | Lindsay is a dear friend and she has designed some of our most beautiful pieces and beautiful merch and that includes our new line of merch that we are debuting in time for Indie bookstore day. |
| 2:39.0 | It's all designed by Lindsay t-shirts, tote bags, maybe a hat or two. It is all so cute, fresh and new and we are excited to debut it on Indie bookstore day weekend, both online and in store. |
| 2:50.0 | In store customers, we are going to have all kinds of fun festivities happening on the bricks in Thomasville, including of course story time, free hot dogs, I love a free hot dog y'all. |
