Welcome to episode 38 of From the Front Porch, a collection of conversations on books, small business, and life in the South.

I'm Annie Jones, owner of the bookshelf, an independent bookstore in downtown Thomasville, Georgia,

and today I'm recapping the books I read in August.

Before we get started, I just wanted to thank everyone for continuing to listen to our little podcast. We took a break last week. I'm trying to come up with a schedule for this fall of

what kind of interviews we want to do and what kind of topics we want to cover.

So just two quick favors that you could do for us if you're a regular listener of the podcast.

First of all, thank you so much for ranking and reviewing us on iTunes.

Another way that you can help us is by subscribing, whether it's in your podcast app on your phone,

or if you want to subscribe through another app that you use to listen to podcasts.

So it's really simple.

It's actually even easier than ranking and reviewing us.

So whatever avenue you choose to listen to us, if it's through an app on your phone,

if you wouldn't mind subscribing, especially if you're a fan of what we do here. That enables us to reach some more

listeners and to get people kind of on our radar and us on theirs. So that's a quick favor

you could do for us. And another thing is if you have any ideas of what kinds of interviews or topics you'd

like to see us cover, we want to provide you with an inside look at the bookshelf.

We also want to kind of give you an inside look into what life is like here in South Georgia, so in the

southern part of the country.

So if you have any ideas on topics to cover as far as books or the South or small business,

our favorite topics to talk about here on the front porch, then please just send us an email or comment on our

Instagram or Twitter, and I'll give you all of that information at the end of the podcast, but you can

also always email us through the store website or at annie at bookshelfththomasill.com,
