| 0:00.0 | Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South. |
| 0:24.0 | I am still drawn to what I don't understand, because I imagine that if I can understand more, |
| 0:29.0 | I might better anticipate what happens in life. I'm old enough to know better, but old habits die hard, |
| 0:35.0 | and it's tempting to think that if I can just find all the foreshadowing, then I will know. How does everything turn out? |
| 0:47.0 | I'm Annie Jones, owner of the Bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, |
| 0:52.0 | and this week we're talking April Books in our new release rundown. |
| 0:56.0 | I'm joined by the Bookshelf's floor manager and children's book buyer Olivia Schaefer to talk through the books we're most excited about this month. |
| 1:04.0 | Before we get to today's episode, though, I wanted to let you know that this week we officially announced our Jenny Han Summer Book Club. |
| 1:11.0 | This is the third and final installment in our nostalgic YA Book Club. |

| 1:47.0 | Our virtual meetings begin in May and we would love to see you there. |
| 1:51.0 | Now back to the show and the business of new releases. |
| 1:54.0 | Hi, Olivia. |
| 1:55.0 | Hey. |
| 1:56.0 | Can you believe this is going to be the end of our Young Adult Book Club journey together? |
| 2:02.0 | It's weird. |
| 2:03.0 | It's so weird. |
| 2:05.0 | It's super weird. |
| 2:06.0 | It's been like a two year long nostalgia book read. |
