    Bookselling (Finale) with Nicole Brinkley & Ashley Poston (4.8)

    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 SHOP OBLONG: oblongbooks.com FULL TRANSCRIPTIONS + SHOW NOTES: misshelved.nebrinkley.com LEARN MORE ABOUT BOOKS: tinyletter.com/misshelved MORE PLACES TO LISTEN: anchor.fm/misshelvedpod Edited by Nicole Brinkley and Rebecca Speasy.

    Nonfiction with Patricia Furnish & Amy Cherrix (4.7)
