It's our birthday and we're celebrating!! Amanda & Ellyn share what it was like opening Dog-Eared Books one year ago, their current reads, new releases and what's happening at the store this week.

Thank you to our listeners and readers for one fabulous year!

What is "futzing"? Just one of the many questions that plague Amanda & Ellyn in their daily life. This week hear what it takes to be a bookseller at Dog-Eared Books as we debunk some alleged rumors. We chat upcoming releases and all things happening at the store. And if you hang around to the end of the podcast you'll hear the musical stylings of Amanda and Ellyn. Thanks for listening!

We're poppin' a bottle of Prince Alexandre champagne for this week's episode. Amanda & Ellyn chat about their current reads, upcoming releases and as always what's happening at Dog-Eared Books, your favorite local indie bookstore in Ames, IA. 

Ellyn & Amanda talk about their current reads of a coffee table book to inspire you to create your own indoor jungle, and "Devil House" by John Darnielle. As well as what's coming out this week in new-releases and paperback. And they do this all while drinking Champagne!!! 

We're bringing back our bookish loving podcast this year and talking what's poppin', new releases, books we're currently reading, what's happening in the lit world and everything going on at Dog-Eared Books in Ames, IA. 

Ellyn and Amanda, co-owners of Dog·Eared Books in Ames, Iowa, discuss their favorite reads of 2020 while drinking champagne.
