Hi! Came across this today and thought it would be something everyone might be interested in: the National Association of Black Bookstores has launched a directory of independent Black-owned bookstores!
You can find the closest one to you, or pick some to support online through bookshop.org (for physical books shipped to your home or ebooks) or libro.fm (audiobooks)! (often there will be bookseller-curated lists on both sites too for recommendations!) (apologizing now because I’ve just realized my work spiel has slipped into this)
In short, there’s a way to support a Black-owned bookstore for any way and for anything you like to read!! Shopping in-store/going to their events is the best way, but the next best thing is using the sites mentioned if you can’t.
I’ll put the link here, let me know if there’s an issue with it: https://www.nab2.org
"Where do I find books written by Black authors?"
"How do I support Black creativity?"
"How can meet other Black people and form community?"
TRY A BLACK OWNED BOOKSTORE!
Thank you for this recommendation!
periodic reminder that the queer liberation library is an awesome non-regional library you can add on libby to access hundreds of queer titles. NO LIBRARY CARD NEEDED. i just found an audiobook for a pretty new release on there with no waitlist. also everyone use libby for your local library too NOW
Booksmith sells online! They even have book mystery boxes based on other books you love. Let's show them (and others) that they made a good business AND moral choice.

“what’s your dream job” im so glad you asked. picture this. i am the lone employee of a strange and mysterious tchotchke/bookshop in the middle of nowhere, full of fun and interesting things that i am allowed to take for the low low price of free of charge. i get one, exceedingly interesting, customer per hour. i work no more than twenty hours a week and am salaried 3 million dollars
