I've been to five of them in neighboring cities. I try visiting and reviewing bookstores when I go on vacation as well.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-20682646813757218522015-04-14T22:11:29.207-07:002015-04-14T22:11:29.207-07:00This is so sad to hear but not surprising.

We have one Indie bookstore in my area and fortunately, it has stayed opened for the past few years. If anything, it seems to be pretty popular. When I want to buy a special edition or I know that I have to buy a book at full price, I go to the Indie store to do so. <br /><br />I should really look more into our Indie store and write a post on it.

Now there's just a couple chain stores. In a couple cities near me though there are many more indie bookstores that I hope I can visit soon!<br /><br />Laura @BlueEyeBooksLaura @BlueEyeBookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12983345219563729728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-704354795823520552015-04-13T14:39:52.216-07:002015-04-13T14:39:52.216-07:00Indie bookstores are quirky and fun!!

It won't be there when I go back to visit Santa Barbara. Indie bookstores tend to have the coolest quirky gifts. There aren't many notable indie bookstores near where I live in southern San Diego, not even a chain bookstore. A little bit north, however, there are a few, including Mysterious Galaxy, which specializes in sci-fi/fantasy books.

I do buy books a full price on rare occasions... Like at author signings... Or if it's a book I really, really want. Or I am buying a books as a gift. Otherwise, I buy used books at used bookstores, library book sales and Friends of the Library Bookstores and charity bookstores. I even exchange used books with other readers. I also have received free books from the Goodreads First Reads Program and download free eBooks from Amazon. I do buy new books from Amazon as well and enjoy the discounts received through Amazon. I even buy used books through Amazon from non-Amazon sellers, etc.Captivated Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15789205839634527219noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8652886466659402180.post-84636814676471137172015-04-12T01:27:28.706-07:002015-04-12T01:27:28.706-07:00We don't have any Indie bookstores near where ...We don't have any Indie bookstores near where I live. In the mall outside of town is a very small Waterstones and in my town is a second hand bookshop and a pile of charity shops. None of these places stock a lot of books in the genres I like and what they do stock are full price so I get all my books from Amazon. I have a tight budget so getting the books a lot cheaper through Amazon is vital to me.chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.com
