Description: Send us a textIn this episode, I chat with Two Friends Books owners Monica Diodati and Rachel Stuckey-Slaton about Bentonville, Arkansas, local authors, books they love, and what they learned about bookselling during the pandemic.After spending too much time lamenting the lack of an independent bookstore in Bentonville, friends Monica Diodati and Rachel Stuckey-Slaton resolved to launch their own. In 2018, their popup bookshop appeared at local coffee shops in the area until they moved into their very own brick and mortar shop at 8th Street Market in Downtown Bentonville. Monica and Rachel curate a selection of books from authors and publishers they love passing on to their customers. At Two Friends Books, customers can also enjoy a book with a glass of wine, beer, or coffee. The bookshop carries natural and organic wines, Airship coffee, a rotating selection of beers, and locally made baked goods.Two Friends BooksNora Goes Off Script, Annabel MonaghanA Lady’s Guide to Fortune Hunting, Sophie IrwinThe Dead Romantics, Ashley PostonBraiding Sweetgrass, Robin Wall KimmererOzark Dogs, Eli CranorBooks by Donna TartBooks by Miriam ToewsOur Share of Night, Mariana EnriquezBooks by Lisa Kleypas Support the showThe Bookshop PodcastMandy Jackson-BeverlySocial Media Links
