Bookstores
Looking for an independent or local bookstore? Here are some options! These stores have either been visited by me or endorsed/recommended directly to me.
Many of these stores have affiliation with Bookshop.org (for online print book sales) and Libro.fm (for audiobooks) as well as Kobo e-book sales.
