Be an Independent Book Reader

by

Borders certainly has its appeal - Starbucks coffee, a vast selection, good bargains, and big name author events. But did you know that if you “spend $100 at a local [bookstore,] $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43″?

This, and other facts about supporting local, small business, is just one facet of Indie Bound. Through this online, independent book community you can discover upcoming and best-selling indie books, find an independently owned bookstore near you, and connect with other indie book fans. The site even rewards members, through a point system, for participating in the community!

So go, find a new favorite book or store, and support small businesses around your town.

There's nothing quite the same as a good fiction novel. They weave you through triumphs and struggles, real life situations and fantasy lands, great characters that become like best friends and sickening antagonists. But how do you choose a good fiction book? How do you decide which stories will be worth getting to know? Genre Fiction has all these answers and more! Keep up with which books are soaring the bestsellers lists, which writers are on tour, and which books are being made into films. Read reviews of fiction books from both yesterday and today. Delve into the authors' lives. Most of all, find good fiction books to add to your shelf.
