#IndependentBookstoreDay was April 25th, but there's never a better time to support your local favorite bookstore and small business than now.

Thanks to #IndependentBookstoreDay yesterday I discovered a lovely local bookstore! Leigh's Favorite Books (https://www.leighsbooks.com/)

As usual I couldn't resist walking out with a stack of books. But they also have a huge assortment of fun accessories! I relate to the bookmark so much lol

Good day yesterday, picked up the new The Peoples Want book (published by @haymarketbooks ) from my local bookstore. As a coincidence, it was also #IndieBookstoreDay!

I think @brian_hioe mentioned during the book launch event that there is a Chinese version coming, which I'm excited about!

For independent bookstore day, I wrote a guide to #Draft2Digital alternatives.

Feedback welcome since I don't know all of those platforms myself.

Stay strong, everyone 💖

Today is #IndependentBookstoreDay, and can we be serious about this? Independent book stores are the lifeblood of literature. They host readings, they work with local authors, and they provide a bespoke experience. Wouldn't you rather receive book recommendations from a human being rather than an algorithm?

There are *lots* of independent bookstores who will be in our dealers' hall! (And if you feel like leaving a rec for your favorite independent bookstore, we'd love it.)

It's independent bookstore day!

Take some time to visit your local bookseller, in person or online.
