0:24.0	It's like looking through a time machine at ourselves 30 years ago.
0:28.0	While the hair is smaller, the hunger is still outsized. Hunger is what gets anything done.
0:34.0	Stay hungry ladies, we think.
0:37.0	Quan Berry, we ride upon sticks.
0:43.0	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia.
0:49.0	And this week, we're back with a new episode format we started last month.
0:53.0	But this time, we're talking about spooky book flights.
0:56.0	I'm joined in conversation by bookshelf retail floor manager Olivia Schaeffer and bookseller Kila Kohn.
1:02.0	Before we get started, as most of you know, one of our main goals for 2022 has been to grow the show to 10,000 listeners

1:15.0	Right now, we are a community of almost 9,000 and we're up to over 800 ratings and reviews on Apple podcasts.
1:23.0	One way to help grow the show and reach these goals is for you to leave your own review on Apple podcasts.

1:52.0	I just love the opportunity to spend a little time with her in Georgia every Thursday.
1:57.0	That is the highest and best praise. Thank you, Mendy in NC, and thank you to all of our listeners who have left reviews for the show over the last few months.
2:06.0	We can see a difference, really and truly, we can see a difference in the show's reach, and with every new listener, we get closer to reaching those very important new merit goals.
2:15.0	But even more importantly, we are able to grow our small business in Thomasville, so thank you.
2:21.0	Now, back to the show. This week, we are talking book flights where we pair three or more books together around certain themes and topics in September.
