Found the cutest bookstore today!! #shopindie
Question for the hive intelligence: I like to give business to independent bookstores, but can't find alternatives for international books. I'm especially interested in books from the German language market. Bookshop.org, Indie bound, and Powell's.com consistently don't have the titles I look for. Amazon and B&N seem like the only sources. Anybody know of a good indie shop (serving the U.S. market) for international stock?
I was finally able to get down to the new location of my local independent bookstore… absolutely loved it!
It‘s coming up so soon! Anyone else excitedly plotting routes, making wishlists?
I am so excited there is a new independent bookstore opening near me (in Grapevine Tx - the next town over). How can we get it added to the locations in litsy?
What I am doing today. Reading in pjs and snacking!
I‘m vacationing near Cincinnati, OH, and went into Half-Off Books. Yup, I found a new copy of P&P! I‘m chilling among the stacks! 📚☺️ (P&P book earrings, and P&P quotes on the necklace and T-shirt)
I opted not to go to a bookstore today, as I spent a bit of money at a few of them last weekend, but I still wanted to share an ode to independent bookstores. #independentbookstoreday
I guess a silver lining to moving away from my beloved NYC is that I get to find more and new independent booksellers.

Visited the cutest little bookstore with @MommyOfTwo today!!! #LunarAndLake
Have you heard?
‘Independent bookshops have joined forces to back the launch of a new online retailer taking on Amazon in the run-up to Christmas. The site, which launches in the UK on Monday, launched in the US in January, and rapidly grew in the face of the pandemic, raising 7.5 mil $ for independent US bookshops.‘

I‘m so excited for this bookstore to open. Give them a follow if you wish! IG: blackgarnetbooks Twitter: blackgarnetbook BlackGarnetBooks.com 🖤
Current @Powells book haul since the start of quarantine is up to 37. 😱 I‘m buying faster than I can read, but I just do not want them to go out of business! ❤️ 📚 #powellsbooks
Checked my email and saw this from Bookshop. So glad they‘re getting support and are in turn supporting independent bookstores! 😊

Keeping busy! Spent the morning taking all my books off the downstairs shelves, dusting, sorting, reading snippets and then putting them all back - spines perfectly aligned of course!
Thanks @SW-T for sharing the info on https://bookshop.org
I immediately signed up because I love supporting indie bookstores.
And the link to the Forbes article that discusses Bookshop: https://www.forbes.com/sites/joanverdon/2020/02/14/advocate-for-local-bookstores...
Great idea. Hope they do well! 😊

#ReadSoulLit - Roots and Books: There was an indie book store called the The Hue-Man Experience in this small community known as Five Points. It was cool because it must have been a two-story home at one time, but now every nook and cranny was occupied by books. And? It was black owned and the books were Black Literature as it was called in those days and the authors were shades of brown hues.👇🏽
Woohoo! Story from last week‘s NPR show on the comeback of Indie Bookstores. #indielove
It isn‘t a trip home without a visit to a bookstore ♥️📚.
My baby niece is pouting because I made her stop reading for 5 seconds to take this pic 🤣♥️🙌🏻
It might have been raining and grey today, but an afternoon browsing little bookshops is always a pleasure.
Is there anything better than turning up in a new place and finding a bookstore full of local writing ?
@ReadingRover have you sent the package out yet? My address has changed seeing I am having all mail sent to Springfield,MA to my in-laws until I get a PO Box seeing all packages coming here have been getting lost or showing up real late.
@whippoorwill815 be on the look out for a package from Thiftbooks it‘s the replacement copy of @silentrequiem book pick. @silentrequiem I am sorry again that this happened. @erinreads

I wish litsy had a share type thing like Facebook does for moments like this.
Oh my! Today I had the utmost pleasure in visiting Mr B's in Bath for a book spa. My amazing daughter bought it for me and booked it on her A level results day!
I had two hours of book discussion with the book seller and she was extremely insightful.
I then chose £55 of books to bring home. Choosing was tough! The best day Ever!
When you take a train to the seaside for the day and I when you arrive it‘s raining - look for a bookstore! It was to tiny ( just one small room) but it was a bookstore!
