Seems impressive.

Some guys on Facebook just said "John Hardy" is the 10th best song of the week in Maine (something like that, we're not entirely sure) and we can assure you they have really good taste. Listen to the new EP here:

In case y'all like bluegrass.

[The Grassholes @The_Grassholes]

SURPRISE! For @Bandcamp Friday, we're releasing our brand-new "Live @ All Roads Festival" EP just a little bit early (hits all the streamers on Oct. 10):

Yay for "The Most"! We told you it was awesome.

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Oh, look at that, EP 76, looking at all the National Book Award Fiction longlisters, is up and ready for viewing:

[Keith O'Brien @KeithOB]

According to family, Pete Rose died at home in Las Vegas, and was found unresponsive there late today. He lived a sports life unlike any other & I'm grateful that I got the chance to tell that story. If you missed my book this spring, check it out here: https://t.co/fq6KxvlifY

We've got thoughts on "Intermezzo"! Give us yours!

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Oh, look, it's EP75 on YouTube! We're talking Sally Rooney, Nicholas Sparks, and dark timelines for middle schoolers!

Guys, I'm not going to be able to convince Hannah I was too busy to receive these books if I only made two sales in the first hour. You need to step it up.

[Book Shop of Beverly Farms @ShopFarms]

Someone come in soon so I have an excuse not to do this receiving. OMG I'm so busy I couldn't even open the boxes.

[Book Shop of Beverly Farms @ShopFarms]

What? Not a single obscure text in translation? Are we sure this is John Updike's Ghost?!?

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Big names for Ep 75! Sally Rooney, Nicholas Sparks, Peter Heller, Robin Wall Kimmerer, Ann and Ben Brashares. Super big time.

Reminds us a little of Updike, to be honest:

In which Sam - again - mistakes Elizabeth Strout for Emma Straub. It's getting embarrassing.

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Oh, ho! EP74 is in the wild, with new books from Elizabeth Strout and @taffyakner (Hannah says, sure, it's in the running for Great American Novel), and a really pretty book that Sam loves from Solvej Balle:

[SalemLitFest @SalemLitFest]

It's getting close! The Salem Literary Festival kicks off online on Wednesday, September 4 and in person on Friday, September 6, with FREE online and in person events continuing through Sunday, September 8. Please join us! https://t.co/Q3mvV4LBH6

"Margo's Got Money Troubles" (@RufiThorpe) is so RIGHT NOW. Great pairing with "Banal Nightmare," too, now that we think about it.

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

EP73, where we extol the virtues of Jessica Anthony's phenomenal "The Most" and Hannah discovers Only Fans:

Just got pitched a reading from an author whose book has won "over six prestigious awards."

So: Seven? Eight? Just how many prestigious awards has this book won?

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Are we just now posting the YT link for Ep72 right as Ep73 publishes on most other platforms? Maybe:

[Book Shop of Beverly Farms @ShopFarms]

Looks like we know what we're talking about when the subject of a night's event gets a review like this.

Jessica Anthony tonight at the Book Shop at 6p. BTW.

Closest Sam's band gets to the store this summer. FYI.

[The Grassholes @The_Grassholes]

Southernmost gig of the summer! Better see you out there tonight, York County people.

[Book Shop of Beverly Farms @ShopFarms]

Featuring a long discussion of @kathleenhanna's excellent autobiography, which is must-read for music fans and feminists alike.

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

Did we forget to post that EP72 is out? We may have. But it's a good one! Feminists, wedding people, and everything in between:

It's time to blow up this Halle Butler book. It's awesomely cutting and you'll swear you know these people.

[John Updike's Ghost (a podcast!) @Ghost_of_Updike]

YT version of EP71 is OUT. Still loving "Banal Nightmare." Funniest piece of literary fiction in a long time.

This is a GREAT list. We've talked about all but Swift River on the pod. North Woods seems pretty 2023 to us, but we're not picky.

[Morgan Talty @Morgan_J_Talty]

Super delighted and honored to learn Fire Exit is a finalist for the New England Book Award! Congrats to all finalists, and to all the New England literature out there speaking about our places, our families, and our shared unbreakable connection: the human condition.

Hey fellow bookstores who use bookmanager. Were all of you really just cool with having to recreate every page on your site? This seems fucked up.
