Happy Independent Bookstore Day! (sales inside)


Hi Reader,

Happy Independent Bookstore Day!

I'll be celebrating at my new local shop and getting coffee with a local Bookstagrammer.

Independent bookstores are vital to your local economy. But your indie bookstores often struggle to compete with big-box stores, particularly online.

(For example, Amazon can take losses on books because they make up the profits elsewhere. Your local indie cannot.)

To celebrate this holiday, learn more about why independent bookstores matter and how you can support them at The Literary Lifestyle.​

Remember, it's a good day to read a book.

P.S. - Can't make it into an indie bookstore this weekend? Then, shop online! Check out Libro.fm's audiobook sale.

Or, subscribe (like me)! When new customers sign up for a new monthly membership with code BOOKSTOREDAY, Libro.fm will give you two bonus audiobooks!
