"In the wild certain species, like starfish or wolves, have a disproportionately nourishing effect on the communities around them. Independent bookstores are a lot like that for us. They give us a place to sit, to wander our imaginations, to commune. They are the endpoint of a stroll. The beginning point of an evening. They pump ideas and inspiration and meaning and warmth back out into the streets around them. And they are sick right now. COVID-19 is threatening their livelihoods in dire ways. I'm setting myself a goal -- a fun and easy goal. Every Sunday, I am buying a book from an indie. It's an indulgence, a treat to myself in these lonely and uncertain times, that also may do a shred of good. I hope you'll join me, in some way that is right for you, in this effort to keep these beating hearts alive and well." - Lulu Miller

"Indie bookstores have been part of my life since the beginning — when I was born my mother's favorite bookstore sent her a surprise box of books they thought she'd enjoy, handpicked by the booksellers. Indie bookstores are where you go to find a deep knowledge of books, a reservoir of wisdom that forever opens up new worlds of reading for consumers. Supporting indie bookstores in this time is making sure that access to that knowledge isn't lost." - Cassandra Clare

"It's clear that during the last week of normal retail trading in the US, more books were sold than normal as people realized that this very strange moment in history was in fact the perfect time to catch up on all the reading they'd been putting off for months, if not years. Now those book outlets have had to shut their doors and turn the signs to 'closed' but that doesn't mean they can't still sell you a book or two or three or four. Please, please remember that all your favourite bookshops are able to sell remotely and if you want to see those signs turned back to 'open' at the end of all of this, please, please support them during the coming weeks, by ordering books online. Independent bookshops are the sign of a civilised, healthy and happy community. Let's keep them breathing!" - Lisa Jewell

"Independent bookstores truly are a treasure that must be preserved. Not only are they cornerstones of their communities, but I know so many authors (myself included!) who owe their careers to the hard-working, passionate teams at the incredible Indie bookstores throughout the country. And right now, more than ever, those stores need our support." - Shannon Messenger
