I got Pride and Prejudice on #IndependentBookstoreDay so I got Emma this time, Iβll get the others when I go back sometime, if they still have them. Joy Luck Club is one of the specific books I put on my list to read this year & I hope to get to it this month for #AANHPI Month.
My online indie bookstore haul from #independentbookstoreday. Which one first? π€
On #IndependentBookstoreDay this year I finally bit the bullet and switched over to #LibroFMfor my audiobooks. It'll take a long time to build up as comprehensive a library there as I have on Audible, but so far I'm enjoying the experience and it feels good to support my local indie bookstore [β¦]
Thanks so much to Photography Champloo for capturing these photos of Independent Bookstore Day last month! Though Independent Bookstore Day is only once a year, shopping local matters all year long. We'd love to see you in the shop this weekend, too! #IndieBookstore #IndependentBookstoreDay

Just want to say "thank you!" to everyone who came in this weekend for #IndependentBookstoreDay and the North of Boston Book Trail passport stamp. We did some numbers! But also it was really heart-warming to see so many new faces and receive so much heartfelt support. So fun and awesome!

Spent my Saturday at @horrorbookstore.bsky.social building a better sympathy card with customers for Independent Bookstore Day. It went better than I could have hoped! Thanks for doing death positive arts and crafts with me. π»

OKAY FRIENDSβ Iβve narrowed the book Iβm next going to read to one of these 6 that I picked up on #IndependentBookstoreDay or before (I bought well over a dozen). Which should I read first? @portersqbooks.bsky.social @maris.bsky.social do you have thoughts?
Cool friends, doing cool things...

There are so many fantastic bookstores in Minneapolis. I visited the wonderful Irreverent Bookworm (irrevbooks.com) for #IndependentBookstoreDay this weekend.
My #IndependentBookstoreDay picks. These have been on my radar quite a while, looking forward to reading them eventually

Went to Giovanni's Room in Philly and picked up some new(er) editions of books from my favorite series to replace copies from the 80s that were falling apart, as well as one of the later installments I only read digitally. Support local bookstores β€οΈπ #IndependentBookstoreDay
In addition to #IndependentBookstoreDay festivities, which were awesome, we also very much enjoyed selling books at @nbptlitfest.bsky.social, which had a GREAT lineup this year.
Thanks to @alisonespach.bsky.social, Courtney Sullivan, @jennablum.bsky.social, @marjankamali.bsky.social and more!
My #IndependentBookstoreDay purchases. Always excited to pick up signed copies, as well as blackwing pencil special releases. About to finish The Dream Hotel by Laila Lalami, then start Craft: Stories I Wrote for the Devil
