0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.
0:08.0	It doesn't hurt to spend your life with people who see what's great about you in a way that you maybe never would have on your own.
0:31.0	The people we love help teach us who we are.
0:41.0	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the Bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia, and this week I'm recapping the books I read in March.
0:52.0	First, though, I want to make sure you are following the Bookshelf on Instagram.
0:56.0	It's a great way to learn about upcoming events, to find out about all the new books that release each week, and there are a lot.
1:03.0	And it's where you can share your thoughts on this week's podcast episode.
1:07.0	Hop over to Instagram and make sure you're following us at Bookshelf TVL.

1:56.0	And I'm very glad that I read so much in March, but it also explains why, as I record this episode, I'm thinking, I think I might be done with reading for the month, which makes sense, because I've read a lot of things.
2:08.0	There's a lot of pros swimming around in my head.
2:11.0	I wanted to start, though, with two books that I finished at the very end of February, and if you'll recall last month, I had to record the reading recap episode a little earlier than typical.
2:21.0	And so I left off a couple of titles that I just wanted to highlight, because I think they're worth mentioning here.
2:29.0	The first one is All My Noted Up Life by Beth Moore.
