Happy Independent Bookstore Day! (sales inside)
|
Hi Reader, Happy Independent Bookstore Day! Independent bookstores are vital to your local economy. In fact, I'm scheduled to attend an author event at one today! This has been a great way for me to make like-minded events as an adult. But, your indie bookstores often struggle to compete with big box stores, particularly online. (For example, Amazon can take losses on books because they make up the profits elsewhere. Your local indie cannot.) To celebrate this holiday, learn more about why independent bookstores matter, and how you can support them at The Literary Lifestyle. And, yes, for this special occasion, there are exclusive deals included!
Remember, it's a good day to read a book. -Jules |

Hi Reader, Happy Friday! Want to know how I decompress when the weekend hits? (Besides wine) My Friday night happy hour routine is pairing an audiobook or book adaptation with an at-home mani. Right now, I'm finishing up A Gentleman in Moscow on Paramount Plus. It's one of my all-time favorite books and the adaptation is exactly how I pictured everything. This week, my transition into the weekend is extra special because Olive & June's Summer 2024 collection has been released! The nautical...
Hi Reader, I'm about to start updating all my summer reading blog posts, which got me thinking about reading during this seasonal transition time. Abby Jimenez's latest bestselling book is my top summer beach read so far: The GMA Book Club pick Just for the Summer is light, quirky, and romantic. It's also not too spicy, and the characters still deal with some real-life stuff (it's not just fluff). The good news is that her backlist contains similar novels with many character crossovers. So,...
