From the Front Porch

I grew up a reader, devouring books like it was my job. Then adult life happened and I lost that joy I felt in reading. I started listening to some book podcasts to try to make reading part of my routine again, and From the Front Porch is a standout! I can personally relate to Annie so much (hello, enneagram 5) and listening to her talk about the Bookshelf, what she’s reading, and life in general is something I look forward to all week! I have gotten so many good book recommendations from Annie and her team. The new release episodes where Olivia and Erin come on are some of my favorites. You can tell that The Bookshelf highly values its people as their number one priority in the business which I love too! I have a standing item to “trip to Thomasville, Georgia and book shopping spree” on all Christmas lists and birthday/anniversary gift idea lists…so that visit HAS to be happening eventually. Thank you for all your hard work, Annie and team!

My daughter and I have loved listening to the From the Porch Podcast for years! Earlier this year she surprised me with a trip to Thomasville! My daughter and new reader granddaughter loved coming to see the Bookshelf in person and meeting many of the wonderful staff who made us feel right at home. The podcast and The Bookshelf are so special and we can’t wait to go back! Thank you all for putting great books in our hands ❤️

I’ve just started listening to this podcast and really enjoy it. Annie is so approachable. I love her positivity. Her insights into owning a bookstore are so interesting.

Too much talking. Cut to the chase already.
