0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.
0:08.0	Your cold mornings are filled with the heartache about the fact that although we are not at ease in this world, it is all we have, that it is ours, but that it is full of strife, so that all we can call our own is strife.
0:37.0	But even that is better than nothing at all, isn't it? Paul Harding, Tinkers.
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, I'm joined by frequent from the Front porch guest, Hunter McClendon, though you might know him as shelf by shelf on Instagram.
0:56.0	Speaking of Instagram, don't forget to follow the Bookshelf at Bookshelf TV. Instagram is where we post regular updates about shop happenings, including what books release each Tuesday and details about upcoming events like Word of South and Indie Bookstore Day.
1:11.0	If you're looking for a no-cost way to support the work of our independent bookstore, following us on Instagram and liking and resharing our posts is a great way to do that.

1:48.0	Yeah, it's way more professional over here on the public feet of the Patreon feed. It's a little more freewheeling.
1:54.0	I kind of live and see to my pants, but today I had an intro and a quote. It's very professional.
1:59.0	I love it. It's my favorite.
2:01.0	So Hunter, we've rebranded.
2:03.0	These are the artists formally known as Backless Book Club instead.
2:09.0	Did you like that? That was good.
2:14.0	So instead we, as a Bookshelf staff, we're really talking about what we wanted to brand certain episodes as, for example, Ashley and I called our episodes Kids Table.
