From The Front Porch

Welcome to From the Front Porch! Annie is back to answer more of your literary dilemmas in another episode of Literary Therapy. Before we get started, this is your friendly reminder that From the Front Porch is a production of The Bookshelf, an indie bookstore in Thomasville, Georgia. We’re in the throes of our second holiday shopping season held during a pandemic, and remarkably, our spirits are high. As you support indies like ours this holiday season, please remember to shop early, to be open to our suggestions when your first book preference might already be back-ordered, and to trust our deadlines. The books mentioned in this week’s episode can be purchased from The Bookshelf The Ensemble by Aja Gable (not available) My Sister the Serial Killer by Oyinkan Braithwaite A Place for Us by Fatima Fahreen Mirza (back-ordered) Becoming by Michelle Obama I Miss You When I Blink by Mary Laura Philpott The Dutch House by Ann Patchett Such a Fun Age by Kiley Reid Transcendent Kingdom
