Happy #IndieBookstoreDay! It’s always a good day to shop local, and this thread from one of our favorite indie bookstores - @novelneighbor - shares a lot of reasons why.
In honor of #IndieBookstoreDay this Saturday, we wanted to talk about why you should always #shoplocal and support indie bookstores (like us!) over Amazon. RT this thread to share with your friends and spread the word! #ResistAmazon
