0:00.0	Welcome to From the Front Porch, a conversational podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.
0:08.0	The 20- of land on the east side of Still Lake. That's what I knew. That's the one thing I'd always assumed I'd understand. I knew the red and white pine on the hilltop, the quaking aspen and birch closer to shore.
0:40.3	I knew the honeysuckle and chipmunks and sunset views of the lake that weren't worth very much, in the end, to developers.
0:50.7	Emily Friedland, History of Wolves.
0:55.8	I'm Annie Jones, owner of the bookshelf, an independent bookstore in beautiful downtown
1:00.8	Thomasville, Georgia, and this week we're back with an installment of our podcast series into
1:06.3	the backlist.
1:07.7	If you're a new or new-ish listener, you might not realize that from the front porch is a production of the bookshelf, a small independently owned bookstore in rural South Georgia. By listening to our show and recommending it to friends, you're helping keep our indie bookstore in business. And if you like what you hear, one way you can financially support us is through

2:15.7	books we feature on the show are new, or many
2:18.3	times they're not even yet released books, which means backlist titles, books published
2:23.5	more than a year ago, can sometimes get lost or overlooked. We launched the podcast series into
2:29.9	the backlist last January after I got to thinking about the magic of indie bookstores and how we try
2:36.7	all the time to replicate that in-store magic for you, our long-distance customer and podcast listener.
2:44.7	One of the most magical things to me about shopping in an indie bookstore is the serendipitous nature of it, how you might
2:52.0	stumble upon a book you've never seen before and be inspired to read it or buy it because
