February Feature: From the Front Porch | Podcast

I was first introduced to Annie B. Jones, owner of The Bookshelf, a bookstore in Thomasville, GA, on the Little Women episode of Novel Pairings. She shared her enthusiasm for Louisa May Alcott's heroines and character-driven novels in general. In turn, she sparked my interest and I started listening to her podcast, From the Front Porch. I particularly enjoy her monthly reading recaps and conversations with Hunter McLendon. As a modern day Kathleen Kelly, she emphasizes how a book makes her feel over specific page-turning plot points. In short, Annie's a lovely person to listen to and she's skilled at describing books!

The first episode of January 2023 features her favorite books of all time and is a quick way to get a sense of her reading taste.

Thanks to Annie B. Jones, these titles are on my list: 

Agatha of Little Neon by Claire Luchette
But You Did Not Come Back by Marceline Loridan-Ivens
Flight by Lynn Steger Strong
Salvage the Bones by Jesmyn Ward
The Book of Goose by Yiyun Li
The Road by Corman McCarthy
