Misshelved: a podcast for book lovers Nicole Brinkley

It's our finale! We're ending things the way we began: with New York Times bestselling author Ashley Poston chatting with host Nicole Brinkley about all things bookselling. What's the best part of being a bookseller? What are some of the hardest? How can booksellers and other book lovers avoid burnout in an industry where so much of the pressure is put upon us by us—and, wait, what was that about wet noodle necromancers?

Thank you to everybody for listening for the past two years: it's been an absolute treat to introduce you to so many booksellers and so many creators. Keep supporting your favorite independent bookstore. Much love. xo

The best sorts of books are the ones we can bond over—and if we can learn from them, even better. In this week's Misshelved, Malaprop's bookseller and radio host Patricia Furnish and former Malaprop's bookseller and author Amy Cherrix bond over their love of nonfiction reads and keep us stocked up on recommendations.

Apologies for the delay in upload this week: missing files and a chronic pain flare-up from host Nicole kept us delayed by two days, but we're back on it!

Time travel? Check. Tea debates? Check. Henry VIII's codpiece? Well, yes. There's few things more joyous than listening to an independent bookseller hit it off with one of their favorite authors and spend the whole episode laughing. This week, listen in as Melissa Taylor from E. Shaver Booksellers in Georgia talks to author Jodi Taylor about her writing and all things to do with British history, with many funny anecdotes along the way.

This is our mid-season hiatus as host Nicole takes a little vacation to celebrate her 30th birthday, but we'll be back in early November. See you then!
