Oh, was the sound crappy last week? Well, we've fixed that. New mic! Holy smokes! You're really going to like this. It's so much better. And now that we're done with Newburyport Literary Festival and Independent Bookstore Day, it's all systems go heading into summer, and we've got lots of books to talk about, including:  -  "The Lion Women of Tehran," by Marjan Kamali, who was the star at Newburyport, and who really captured the audience. - "Endling," by Maria Reva, a meta sort of novel set in Ukraine and grappling with the Russian invasion and how to make sense of it.  - "Heartwood," by Amity Gaige, which Hannah started and stopped and ended up finishing, but isn't convinced is really a "thriller." Also, Amity's understanding of Maine seems ... limited. - "The River Has Roots," by Amal El-Mohtar, which is more of a novella, but is really pretty, and a lovely addition to the faerie canon. And it really gets the musical portion of the plot right.  - "The Doorman," by Chris Pavone, which is a little different, not an international spy thriller, and shares some qualities with "Only Murders in the Building," but isn't, like, funny at all. Some twists and turns, though.  Next time, Sam reads some blockbusters and Hannah gets literary. Maybe.

Zibby chats with author and historian Evan Friss about his New York Times bestseller, THE BOOKSHOP, an affectionate and immersive history of the American bookstore and an absolute delight for all bibliophiles. Evan, who was inspired to write this book by his wife's job at Three Lives & Company, talks about evolution of the bookshop in the United States, the stories behind the most beloved indie stores, like RJ Julia, the passionate people who bring these spaces to life, and the critical importance of the bookstore as a sacred community space. He also compares bookstores to endangered species and urges us to find ways to ensure their legacy and survival.Purchase on Bookshop: https://bit.ly/455ioj2Share, rate, & review the podcast, and follow Zibby on Instagram @zibbyowens!

What does it look like to evict demonic activity from your life?In this episode, we're continuing a 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare following a NEW acrostic: S.O.N.G. (Stephanie encourages you to "Whistle while you warfare.") At Deeper Walk, we teach a "no drama," legal approach to spiritual warfare. So, after you've removed the permission the enemy is claiming to a place in your life, it's time to use your authority in Christ to "oust the enemy."How do you kick the enemy out of your life? How do you help others? How do you deal with curses sent against you? We touch on all this and more in today's episode.Join us on the trail!

In this eye-opening episode, we pull back the curtain on a heartbreaking scam targeting authors—promising dream book deals that quickly turn into financial nightmares. We explore how scammers craft elaborate schemes that seem too good to be true, preying on authors' hopes with promises of massive book orders, media coverage, and exclusive events. But beneath the glossy promises lie red flags: upfront fees, lack of formal contracts, and guarantees that no legitimate publicist would ever make.Join us as we dissect the common tactics used in these scams, reveal the emotional and financial devastation they cause, and share practical strategies to protect yourself. We also clarify what real author opportunities look like—so you can confidently spot the difference between a genuine offer and a deceptive ploy. Whether you're a new author or a seasoned pro, this episode is a must-listen for anyone navigating the complex world of publishing.Send us your feedback!Check out our new Publishing Consulting service that will definitely change your life:https://amarketingexpert.com/publishing-consulting/Buy Penny's new book, The Amazon Author FormulaFREE BONUSLeave a review to support the show and we'll give you our Book Launch Checklist!

Nick has six novels and a collection of short stories under his belt, but A Forty Year Kiss may be his first love story.  His mind was set to wondering after he overheard a passionate conversation in his favorite local bar between two older people, a conversation that made him blush just a little. He began playing with the idea of what this couple's back story was. Nick's book asks readers to consider the difference between first love and love between mature adults, how life's baggage affects personal relationships, and whether people can really change.    Nick also talks to us about his rural Wisconsin roots, why he read Babysitter Club books in his childhood, and the debate on whether he should wear a cape.     For our book recommendation section of this episode, we decided to find some of our favorite books we've read as a result of being in a book club together for two decades. For the most part, our book club chooses novels, but there is one memoir in the lot, as well as contemporary fiction, historical fiction, sci-fi, and a classic.    Books Discussed in this Episode:   1- A Forty Year Kiss by Nickolas Butler   2- Shotgun Lovesongs by Nickolas Butler   3- A Paris Year by Janice MacLeod   4- Godspeed by Nickolas Butler    5- Love, Hope & Carnage by Nick Cave and Sean O'Hagan   6- The Fertile Earth and the Ordered Cosmos edited by M.

Let's demystify spiritual warfare. Reclaiming ground we've surrendered to the enemy doesn't have to be complicated or scary.In this episode, we're starting a 4-part series on practical spiritual warfare following a NEW acrostic: S.O.N.G. (Stephanie encourages you to "Whistle while you warfare.") At Deeper Walk, we teach a "no drama," legal approach to spiritual warfare. So, when you've recognized you're having a spiritual warfare issue, the first step is to 'Stop giving permission.'How do you recognize your spiritual warfare issues? For some it's blatantly obvious, but for many it may be as subtle as an unshakeable sense of hopelessness. What are common things that give the demonic permission to a place in our lives? Beyond S.O.U.L.L. (which we frequently work through on the podcast), we also touch on other areas like giving into fear or idolatry. Finally, is it R.E.D.? How to stop giving permission when the occult is involved.Join us on the trail!

Fresh off the floor from one of the year's biggest events, Jonathan and Laurie share a behind-the-scenes look at what it takes to set up a massive 10ofThose bookstore at the TGC conference serving over 7,000 attendees. From hauling thousands of titles across three trucks to logging nearly 18 miles of steps on concrete floors in a single day, they reflect on the physical toll, joyful chaos, and moments of grace that defined the week.But more than just logistics, the two reflect on the many conversations that take place behind the book table; moments of sharing suffering, prayer, evangelism and hope, all sparked by books. If you've ever wondered how bookselling becomes a form of devotion and opens up opportunities for fellowship as well as evangelism, this episode is for you.If you enjoyed this episode be sure to leave us a review on wherever you listen!  Also remember to share with friends and family; both of those actions will help us spread the word about the show.For more information about upcoming conference or bookstores that 10ofThose will be hosting, please visit either our US, UK or CA based sites.
