0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.
0:08.0	And when you've spent a few minutes with a body that no longer houses a soul, so still and lifeless and empty, you really see it for what it is, and how incredible it has been, no matter how it looks.
0:39.0	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the Bookshelf and independent bookstore in beautiful downtown Thomasville, Georgia. And this week I'm joined by Bookshelf Operations Manager Olivia to give you a rundown of our favorite new books releasing in November.
0:55.0	Wondering what books the bookshelf is recommending for gift giving this holiday season, we have two upcoming virtual events designed to help you prep for the holidays.
1:04.0	On Wednesday, November 8, we're hosting our holiday literary first look. All walk you through my favorite books for giving as gifts in this hour long webinar.
1:13.0	The event can be watched live at noon on November 8, but it will also be recorded for viewing later.
1:19.0	Tickets to the event include a PDF of the titles we discuss, as well as a discount code for purchasing. If you've got little ones in your life, Olivia will be hosting a kids centric literary first look on Thursday, November 9th at noon.
1:33.0	Tickets to both of these events include the PDF as well as a discount code and their $15 a piece. They can be purchased through the link in our show notes or by clicking events on the homepage of the Bookshelf's website.
1:46.0	That's BookshelfThomasville.com. Now back to the show. Hi, Olivia. Hello. Welcome back. This is our last one of these, not forever, just for the year. Don't fear the people any.
1:57.0	This is our farewell lips. JK. We're out. End of 2023 everybody.
2:07.0	This is our last new release. I still don't know rundown.
2:14.0	I think it's rundown. Okay, this is our last new release rundown of the year because if you are a new listener or even if you're an old listener, maybe you just forgot December is kind of a weird month for publishing where really nothing's happening because publishers want you to buy books they've already published and just kind of a nothing burger of a month if that's okay to say.
2:38.0	Yes, that is more than okay to say nothing burger.
2:42.0	Yeah, you know, just kind of nothing to buns and maybe some ketchup.
2:47.0	Actually, that is how I prefer my burger. No ketchup, though.
2:51.0	Oh, I don't need ketchup either. Nothing on it. How do you eat your burger?
2:55.0	Well, I'll put like lettuce and cheese on it. Okay, I don't do that. Okay.
3:00.0	Meat and bread. Meat and bread. When I go to water burger, it is what do they call it? Plain.
3:05.0	Do they do that? Because I feel like they always miss that up.
3:08.0	Oh, no, you have to know what to say. Plain and dry. Okay. My bad. That's not me.
