When I travel, I love visiting old independent bookstores and wandering around to discover new books. The creakier the floorboards, the better. This is awesome - thank you!

I love indie bookstores :). I "stole" the original idea from a fantastic indie bookstore that I stumbled into.

I walked into the bookstore, and they had little index cards to show off staff favorites and a little half-tweet on why: "Andy loves the characters in this outside-the-box fantasy series;- you will dig it."

It was this magical way to meet the books. I thought it would be fun to try to do that while helping authors meet readers.

Big chains do this too
