Annie Jones | Bookstore Owner, Podcaster

[ep 27] Annie B. Jones owns The Bookshelf, an independent bookstore in downtown Thomasville, Georgia, where she and her husband Jordan have lived since 2013. A Tallahassee, Florida, native, Annie graduated summa cum laude with her degree in journalism from the Great Books Honors College at  Faulkner University before becoming a writer and editor for The Florida Bar News and Journal.

In 2012, she began living her Kathleen Kelly-dream as the manager of The Bookshelf in Tallahassee, and in 2013, she took over operations of the flagship store in Thomasville. Annie was featured as one of Southern Living magazine’s 50 innovators changing the South, and The Bookshelf was recently listed in the top ten of the 2016 Independent Small Business of the Year Awards.

Annie currently co-hosts From the Front Porch, a weekly podcast about books, small business, and life in the South.

She has some amazing thoughts about work and the Kingdom of God and I can’t wait for you to hear it.
