Lisa Asanuma is starting a movement.
A revolution.
Kinda like the one pictured above but in color and at your neighborhood bookstore.
She's asking people to buy a book at a bookstore tomorrow
She wants to challenge the online market a little and support the brick and mortars.

Then go and do it.
FOR THE LOVE OF BOOKS
DO IT!
Hi Shelly and Chad! I'm also a kidlit writer. Yesterday I bought a book (at a bookstore). Not quite Valentine's day, but hope that counts!
ReplyDeleteCheers,
GC
I totally think that counts!
DeleteI just bought a book in a bookstore last weekend. Does that count?
ReplyDeleteWhy not? It's all about the bookstore love.
DeleteDone! Thanks for the 'push'!
ReplyDeleteIt's not much of a push, telling bookaholics to buy a book...actually, I guess that would make me a pusher. ;)
DeleteVery interesting. I'm off to learn more and then buy some books!
ReplyDeleteIt's kind of a no-brainer, huh? "Go buy books" "Umm, OK!"
DeleteThanks so much for posting, Shelly! You're the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much for thinking of it! I hope it was a success!
DeleteI love my local bookstores. And I was so dang sad when the Boarders nearby went out of business. Kind of like in that movie You've Got Mail. I LOVE me a good book like some men love looking at loose ladies on the internet. (That's alliteration for ya.)
ReplyDeleteYou are the queen of classy alliteration ;)
DeleteWe have an adorable little 'You've Got Mail' bookstore in my area, too.
Great idea! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE real, live, hold-it-in-my-hand books! HOORAH for brick & mortar bookstores!
ReplyDeleteI know, Lisa is a genius!
