National Bookstore Day



Today is National Bookstore Day! You can visit Publishers Weekly to download bookplates to show your support of the written word and the dedicated bookstore owners and workers who bring them into our lives. For a list of participating bookstores, click
HERE or visit your favorite independent bookstore in person or on the web.
One of my favorites is That Bookstore in Blytheville, owned by Mary Gay Shipley. TBIB will take internet orders and will ship (you can trust them totally with your payment info).
Have a wonderful day, bloggers--and read a good book.

Gollum, thanks for letting us know. I will post this on my sidebar.

Love your new header! The shot of the stars over that stone cottage is amazing, and I love the one of you and Mister. The flowers = gorgeous!

My MIL went to visit a friend who now lives in Lafayette, LA with a group of other 80 year old girlfriends, and when they got there, they were all talking at once. The hostess' Yorkie then proceeded to nip at the toes of the ones with sandals on. He messed up a few pedicures. LOL! ;-)

XO,

Sheila :-)

Gollum, I tried everything, and I can't get it to load. I tried to copy it from your post, and it wouldn't copy. I went to the site, and it downloaded HUGE. I'm sorry I'm so bad when it comes to technical things, but I can't even find the huge download. LOL! I've spent the last fifteen minutes or so struggling to no avail. ;-)

XO,

Sheila

oH....Perfect...we have THE most sensational independent book store in our tiny town.

The authors they woo are unparalleled (so say I).

I support them every chance I can, and will most certainly pass this gem on. Thanks Golllum!
