Today is a spiffy day to support indie bookstores. I love @bakkaphoenix.bsky.social in Toronto, @poisonedpen.bsky.social in Scottsdale, @murderbooks.bsky.social in Houston, & many more! If you don’t have one near you, shopping online at bookshop.org allows you to support one instead of a billionaire

Canadian Independent Bookstore Day is on April 26th! We’re very fortunate in this country to have absolutely amazing indies and if you’re looking for some local Canadian businesses to show some love, we’ve got suggestions! We can't name every shop, but here are some we'd love to give a shout-out to.

My neighbourhood indie children's bkstore in Toronto, Mabel's Fables, is having to move because their landlord is demolishing the building to build a condo. 😢 Owner is trying to raise funds to help cover costs: www.gofundme.com/f/mabels-fab... #IndieBookstores #Toronto #KidLit
