Good afternoon, everyone! Welcome back to Bookmarked, the blog for readers and authors alike.

This week, we are going to be recapping the year so far regarding our book-themed podcast, Bookmarked. It's been a very successful year for the podcast, and we can't wait to continue providing quality content for all the bookish people out there who love to read and support local authors.
We've recently featured a lot of great authors on the podcast, including Donna Snow King, Audrey Jane, Retta West, Megan Mary, Patricia Hitchcock, G. S. Craft, Sharon Suskin, and Neil Wollman. All of these talented authors came on the podcast for an interview, and it was a joy chatting with each of them.
This month, Bookmarked celebrated a huge milestone. Earlier in March, we published our 75th episode. This is a huge achievement that we're all super proud of! We hope to keep the podcast going for many more episodes, so as always, stay tuned and check back with us every Friday!
We currently maintain a total of 1,706 downloads since we began the podcast a year and a half ago, and we gain new downloads each week. It has been a longtime dream of JCP staff to start our own podcast, so this journey has been rewarding and exciting!
This Friday's podcast episode will feature a more in-depth discussion about Bookmarked as we recap 2025 so far and look to the future.
As always, thank you to everyone who supports our blog and podcast. We couldn't do this without you! I hope everyone has a fantastic week, and if you're in search of a new book to read, check out JCP's online bookstore below for your next reading obsession!
