Independent Bookstore Day
is coming this Saturday! This national party celebrates the importance
of independent bookstores every year on the last Saturday of April.
Which means it’s an especially fantastic time to explore the independent
bookstores in your area, and many are throwing parties in celebration.

It’s
also a great time to remember that independent bookstores are much more
than buildings. These non-chain shops are homes for ideas, a growing
space for community, and a critical line of support for authors and
readers alike.

So in celebration of Independent Bookstore Day, here are 10 authors on their feelings about bookstores:

I love walking into a bookstore. It’s like all my friends are sitting on shelves, waving their pages at me.
—Tahereh Mafi
