Connections

It has been just over four months since Ted and I launched this website and began our Two Sides to the Story podcast. So much has happened in that short period of time. We have written blogs, recorded episodes, visited bookstores, and interviewed some amazing book people. We have also bought, borrowed and traded a surprisingly high number of books and have photographed little free libraries we’ve spotted along the way.

As if all that wasn’t enough to leave us both smiling, Ted and I are also happily processing and planning the Two Sides activities that are ahead of us in the next several months. More interviews are scheduled and there are close to a dozen that we will be adding to the calendar this year. We will be visiting more bookstores, some book festivals, and participating in several community events sponsored by and supporting book lovers and book sellers in our area.

We are hearing from listeners and readers from our home county, as well as neighboring counties, and even neighboring states. Ted and I are both grateful for the interactions we have had so far and looking forward to more connections like this. Thank you for telling us what you like, what you want to hear from us, and where you go in your hunt for good books. Keep it coming!

With the show and website, we set out to promote literacy and support local independent bookstores. We now find ourselves enjoying the success of that, as we also realize the connections we are making for ourselves, for readers, for writers, and for other book lovers is equally as satisfying.

Thank you for listening, enjoy your reading, and keep telling us what you would like to see us do this year at twosides2thestory@yahoo.com
