Summary

Today we meet a indie bookstore owner and kindred bookish spirit, Annie Jones. In this episode, Anne and Annie talk about her wildly unlikely path to bookstore ownership, her love of dysfunctional family literature, and the way meeting an author in person can change the way you experience a book. And unlike a lot of WSIRN guests -- Annie is not afraid to say she hates a book (or... a lot of books.)

0:28.0	Today, I'm welcoming Bookstore owner and fellow podcaster Annie Jones to the show.
0:32.7	Annie and I have known each other online for forever, but we've recently got to meet at a book conference
0:37.4	in Savannah, so now we have that personal connection. That's something we explore a lot in this
0:42.1	episode. How personally meeting fellow readers and even authors can completely change how you see
0:47.4	and experience a book. I also loved hearing her bookstore story about how she came to own a bookstore

1:24.8	our past first crossed, but I love that they did. I don't either. I think, you know, I've been a
1:29.2	blog reader for a long time, and I think I do think one particular post you wrote about wanting to

1:41.2	something about this, but I love that the internet kind of brings kindred spirits together. It makes me
1:47.5	happy. Yes, you can find your favorite bookish people. That's right. Now, I remember that poster
1:52.8	talking about, and it's several years old, and I believe you've owned a bookstore for several years.
