Welcome to Litsy!

My friend‘s SIL owns a bookstore out on Long Island, NY, so for #IndependentBookStoreDay I bought a book that the owner suggested and she shipped it to me 😁 We‘ll see🤷🏼‍♀️

My bestie and I were celebrating #independentbookstoreday without even knowing it was Independent Bookstore Day 😁 But we always hit the stores when we meet - what else should two bookworms do together? 😉

#independentbookstoreday 🥳🥳🥳🥳

I also celebrated #indiebookstoreday yesterday by going to my favourite local shop and picking up these three used books. I‘ve had two of these on my tbr for a while. #independentbookstoreday

Here‘s my #IndependentBookstoreDay haul. 🙂📚 Two of these were free ARCs (tagged and Vera). I bought more than I intended to, but can‘t say I‘m surprised by that 😆. I had preordered Lives of Puppets and Boneshard War.

It was an amazing day, so much fun.

Have you seen this new David Eggers? I started reading it there (at Book People.) It has a wooden cover and beautiful illustrations. It‘s from the point of view of a wild dog, fun so far.

Independent Bookstore Day was a huge success! I didn‘t know that Kinokuniya had stores all over the world. The Austin store isn‘t listed on Litsy, that‘s the one we visited, not the tagged one. Several of these were first time visits for me, and we went to Book People as well but I forgot to get a photo. Book haul photo tomorrow, I‘m exhausted and I‘ve got some reading to do 😉📚🖤. I definitely splurged, but what a great day!

I celebrated #independentbookstoreday by doing the #greatercharlottebookcrawl with some of my irl book club, including @wideeyedreader We were able to get to 8 stores and had an amazing time. I got some new bookmarks, pins, a tote, t-shirt and the stack of books. A very successful day!

(Partial) book haul for #independentbookstoreday - I bought at least one book at every store visited today (tagged but not pictured is a book I ordered from powells awhile ago that happened to arrive today). I definitely went a little wild today and am now on a book buying ban for the foreseeable future.

Independent Bookstore Day!!! Visited 7 book stores (and that‘s not even all of the indies in ATX - we are a great city for book lovers) - bought WAY too many books (no regrets)… just a great day all around!
Thanks @Soubhiville for the great idea and the trip planning 😘
Bookhaul to follow 📚😄 #independentbookstoreday

Took a reading break to visit 2 bookstores for Independent Bookstore Day with my husband! He spoiled me with three books. 😁 I started the tagged with lunch + coffee but mostly chatted about books with my husband. 🥰 #hour10 #readathon #deweysreadathon @DeweysReadathon #IBD #IndependentBookstoreDay The husband: @CounterfeitNickel
