#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.)

I have not read any of @annaleen's nonfiction but it was in the good trouble corner, so coming home. #IndependentBookstoreDay

Don’t already have a favorite local bookstore to visit on #IndependentBookstoreDay?

Bookshop.org might help you find one!

And you know, while you’re at your new favorite bookstore, you could pre-order a new mystery featuring a grouchy P.I. and his psychic friends.

It's independent bookstore day!

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

Support #IndependentBookstoreDay if you can. My #indie bookstore focuses on genres that I don't really like- #sciencefiction, #fantasy, #graphicnovels - and carries very little #literaryFiction and even fewer #Canadian #novels. Still I did find two books I could buy to support this important day.

Celebrate Independent Bookstore Day by buying books for incarcerated readers! Free shipping April 25-26, 2026, plus we'll get a matching cash donation! As prison book restrictions become more onerous, our need for new books grows.

It's #IndependentBookstoreDay and trying to convince my wife that we should go grab a coffee and see if the bookstore is open. Now I need you to settle our dispute.

It's #IndependentBookstoreDay, the perfect time to stock your shelves at great indie stores like The Literate Lizard!

Actually, any day is a great day for that.

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 with my audiobook purchases! If you'd like to try it too, here's my referral link: https://www.libro.fm/referral?rf_code=lfm371193

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.

Already on my radar + discovering the author also wrote another classic + Bookshop.org's #IndependentBookstoreDay celebration* = instant purchase.

Also, the Albertus "biography."

#Amazon’s #booksale crashes #IndependentBookstoreDay—and #readers are pushing back

As more than 1,600 indie #bookstores prepare for their biggest day of the year, Amazon’s overlapping sale draws sharp criticism.

Happy Independent Bookstore Day! We visited 7... Capitol Hill Books, East City Bookshop, Little District Books, Solid State Books, Middle East Books and More, Lost City Books, & Fantom Comics. All great! And there are even more we didn't make it to today. Love that we have this in DC. Visit your local booksellers when you can, not just once a year! #independentBookstoreDay #booksNotBillionaires

A quick visit to Green Apple Books on the Park for #IndependentBookstoreDay —happy to see it packed 😃 Walked away with the graphic biography of (my beloved) Claude Cahun, “Liberated, the Radical Art and Life of Claude Cahun” by Kaz Rowe, and “Your Love Is Not Enough” by Johanna Hedva ✨📚✨

Oh, how charming! 📚 Amazon coincidentally hosts a book sale on Independent Bookstore Day, because who could predict that?! 🎉 It's like hosting a BBQ at a vegan festival – pure #serendipity. 🙄

I didn’t realize it’s #IndependentBookstoreDay, but I finally signed up for @[email protected] this week after decades of audible membership. I’ve still got a few credits left in Bezosville, but I’ve backed up my audiobooks and am ready to fully move on.

1. I bought seven books from my favorite local independent bookstore today for #IndependentBookstoreDay. A simple task, but I felt like I was slaying dragons.

2. I watched my husband read his section for the annual Moby Dick Readathon at our local library. I love that he participates every year!

3. I’m having a cozy read in tonight with the pup, some light piano jazz, and all the twinkle lights.
