Happy Saturday everyone! It’s independent bookshop day in the US today – in the UK ours is in October – but really any excuse to go and visit a bookstore is a good one. As you know I’m always wandering around book shops and then writing about them on here. I’ve currently got a list going of ones that I want to visit when I get a chance and because I’ve been to some of the buzzy ones it meant that when I read this article about the new TikTok bestseller list this morning I recognised the top image (and the second bottom one) as being taken in Saucy Books in Notting Hill!
If you’re in the US lots of them are throwing special events and have promotions or competitions on: click here for a searchable map of participating stores and also a list of bookstore crawls you can do and click here for a list of events at bookstores across the US (remember control/command + f will bring up the find box so you can search the list without having to scroll).
If you’re not in the US – just go and visit your local book store anyway – or go to bookshop.org, choose a bookshop (top right) to benefit and buy something on there!
Have a great Saturday everyone!
