Every month we go behind the shelves at a different independent bookshop - we meet the owners, customers and pets. Bookshop dogs and cats are the best! If you’d like us to feature your local bookshop get in touch using the form below.
INDIE BOOKSHOP OF THE MONTH
Loyalty Bookstores, Washington, USA
Indie Bookshop of the Month: March 2023- BookBar
BookBar is a space where old friends can meet and new friends can be made. Chrissy Ryan, creator and owner, says: “There is nothing better than sharing a good book. The joy of unravelling the characters and plot points with a friend over a glass of wine, hearing inspiring ideas at a book club, sharing in the community a love of reading inspires.”
BookBar encourages people to connect through books and meet at the bookshop’s events; live music, readings, wine tastings and even ‘read-dating’ - their very own version of speed-dating! And they serve coffee too.
See you at the BookBar!
Celebrating 5 Years of Indie Bookshops!
To celebrate five years of our Indie Bookshop of the Month feature, we’re taking you back to City Books in Hove, the very first shop we featured way back when in July 2018! Read on to see our interview with Paul and Inge:
From the niche to the super-niche, from super-swank to pile-em-high second-hand, we LOVE independent bookshops! We want to highlight the high-street heroes who dedicate their lives to readers and writers so every month we’re celebrating a different indie profiling the owners and their tastes (and bookshop cats & dogs)
Meet Paul and Inge from City Books in Hove!
