Indie Bookstores

I guess it's Prime Day(s) again, so here are some options if you'd rather not help Jeff Bezos grow even richer. 🧵 First, a couple of Starter Packs of Indie Bookstores to support. (If you are or know of an indie bookstore w/ a Bluesky account that's not listed, let me know.) go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

Since tomorrow is #IndependentBookstoreDay in the US & Canada, it's a good time to check out these two Starter Packs of #IndieBookstores. Give them a follow or, better yet, make a purchase from one or more. Help them survive & thrive. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

Wondering where to spend your money (or which bookstore choose as your "home" store on Bookshop or Libro.fm)? I've put together a couple of starter packs of #indiebookstores to help. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

If you are rightfully & righteously pissed off about the AI-generated summer reading list (and who isn't?), why not ask one of the #indiebookstores in these starter packs for recommendations instead? go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

Happy #IndependentBookstoreDay! Before I head to the bookstore for a day of handselling (no algorithms here, folks) & giveaways, I thought it would be good to share the two #indiebookstores Starter Packs to help you decide where to buy your books today. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

Since there's apparently a new influx of users, I thought it might be a good idea to share my two starter packs of indie bookstores from all over for you to follow. If you're an indie bookstore that's not included, let me know & I'll add you. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

@billie.bookstoreromanceday.org•Feb 12, 2025

How about a couple of Starter Packs with 200+ combined? Part I: go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

Now more than ever, it's important to support the small businesses that are in our communities, not billionaires toadying up to power. To help, I've put together two starter packs with ~200 indie bookstores between them. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

Looking for last-minute gifts? Gift cards to bookstores are an excellent choice. I have two starter packs with ~170 indie bookstores from all over & I bet most, if not all, would love to sell you a gift card. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

@draccah.bsky.social•Dec 21, 2024

For #indie #bookstores this is often the most important part of the year. If you have some gifts left to buy, please spend some of your hard-earned $$ at local bookstore (near you or near someone you ❤️). Here’s a good list to start from @billie.bookstoreromanceday.org go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

@billie.bookstoreromanceday.org•Jan 4, 2025

Quote reskeet your fave Starter Pack. I have two, both of which are indie bookstores from all over: go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm (original recipe) go.bsky.app/9bTR428 (part the second)

If you're just joining us here on Bluesky, welcome! If you're a bookish-type person, you might want to take a gander at a couple of Starter Packs I created to round up as many of the #indiebookstores here as I could find. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

Do you need books? For comfort? For knowledge? For escape? I have two starter packs with a total of about 180 independent bookstores for you to choose from. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm go.bsky.app/9bTR428

@billie.bookstoreromanceday.org•Dec 18, 2024

There's room for only one more #indiebookstore in the starter pack & then I'll start another. Do you have a fave that's on Bluesky but not in the starter pack? Let me know. In the meantime, give these #indiebookstores some love (& sales). go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

@billie.bookstoreromanceday.org•Dec 11, 2024

If you aren't lucky enough to have an indie bookstore local to you, I've created a starter pack of the ones I know of on Bluesky, & I'm sure any of them would love & appreciate your business this holiday season. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm

Another bookstore just added! Hoping to hit the 150-account limit for this starter pack before the holidays so you have as many options for book buying as possible. go.bsky.app/DZdrHhm
