I really do need to make more effort to support indie bookstores. B&N is often too convenient because it‘s enroute along grocery store for me and pet supplies for the cat. When I make time for the indies I give my money to Frugal Muse, Leopold‘s Books Bar & Caffé, and Kismet Books.

pickThis was such a fun and sweet romantic comedy!
This is my first book by the author, Amy Lea, so going in I didn‘t have any expectations. After reading this, I can tell why so many people love her books. Her writing style is so engaging that it made the book go by so quickly!
I loved the premise and it was executed so well.

A big 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 to Changing Hands Bookstore! They have two locations in Tempe and Phoenix, AZ. The one near me (Phoenix) also has a wine bar (see pic above). Wine + books = heaven.
Heartbound Book Shop in Anaheim, California, is my new favorite indie bookstore!
It's a romance bookstore and it has an awesome selection of books! They also have constant events, which are so fun to participate in.

My favorite bookstore is Joseph-Beth in Lexington. Another indie bookstore I love is Sassafras in Black Mountain, NC. There‘s several indies around my state, & I‘m planning to road trip to some this summer. #sundayfunday @BookmarkTavern
I haven‘t been to any indie bookstores in my area. I live in TX and I found out we have 25 indie bookstores here. I didn‘t know we had so many. 4 of them are close to where I live. I don‘t drive because I don‘t know how. My mom drives me if I want to go somewhere. I‘m supporting Village Books in The Woodlands on bookshop.org and I‘m supporting The Book Attic in Tomball on Libro.FM.

There are so many that I love but I think my favorite is Tropes and Trifles… a romance bookstore in Minneapolis, Mn
Yesterday I spent 3+ hours at The Last Word bookstore in Mt. Airy MD. It‘s a little bit of a drive but worth it. They have a smaller store closer to me that‘s in the midst of a reorganization, and I‘m looking forward to seeing the revamped space.

Love my local indie bookstore First Chapter Books. When I lived in Asheville I loved Mr. Ks and Malaprops.
