Joe Hill, on joe hill fiction, declared March “Love your Indie Bookstore Month.”  In addition to guilting you into visiting your local independent bookstore, he’s bribing you also.  He’s giving away all kinds of books throughout the month.  All you have to do is buy something (must be over 99 cents) from an independent bookstore, scan the receipt  and e-mail it to Joe.  All of the rules and information are on his website.  I entered, it’s easy.

If you catch the independent bookstore bug, and you should, join us for the Independpent Bookstore Reader’s Challenge.  We’ve had two posts from Robin at A Fondness for Reading and they’ve been great.
