#IndependentBookstoreDay

0 posts0 participants0 posts today

Do you ever wish you could do three good deeds at once? Good news: You can! If you buy a book from either of our independent bookstore wishlists between now and May 5th, 2025, 3 good things will happen:

1. An incarcerated reader will receive a book.

2. Your gift will be matched by a generous donor (for a maximum of
$1,000 per wishlist).

3. You will support independent bookstores.

List 1: politics-prose.com/wishlist/ro

List 2: bookshop.org/wishlists/a641ac4

Just got back from my local bookshop where they had some free books (ARCs that they get for their staff from the past year) and my sister complete a scavenger hunt for a gift card

I spent more than i should have but! I got used copies of a TJ Kline and N K Jemesin and a discounted T Kingfisher and because I spent so much I got a free tote

And since we were downtown anyway we got some chocolate and candy from the candy shop

To celebrate #IndependentBookStoreDay, I'd just like to remind everyone about the awesome BookShop.org. It's a site that lets you order just about any book and have part of the profits go to an actual, bricks and mortar bookstore of your choosing.

Another great option for books is ThriftBooks.com, a massive second hand book site (enviro benefits++ yo).

On a related note: Fuck #Amazon who tried to steal Independent Bookstore day support, "coincidentally" launching a book sale for today.
