Ep. 40 - Heartwarming Tales from the Bookstore, with VaLinda Miller and Jamie Rogers Southern

Couldn’t we all use some heartwarming tales from bookstore aisles right about now? Eve and Julie have plenty to share after speaking with VaLinda Miller--the owner of Turning Pages Bookshop, the only African-American female-owned bookstore in South Carolina and only the second African-American owned bookstore in South Carolina--and Jamie Rogers Southern--the interim executive director of Bookmarks, a nonprofit bookstore in North Carolina. They discuss the joys of running a bookstore with a best friend, moments when books change lives, and how a knitting circle and a little beer go a long way in building community. Eve and Julie also share a sneak peek at next week’s episode, which has them bursting at their bookseams.
