204. Embracing Community: The Power of Choosing Local Bookshops Over Big Box and Online Retailers

Supporting the shop local and shop small movements has always been a core value of mine. One way I was failing at that, however, was with my book-buying habits. Instead of supporting local bookshops, I often bought books with 1-click checkout at Amazon.  Thankfully, I've discovered a new way to buy books online that also supports local bookshops!  Listen in to learn more about the genius website that distributes profits to thousands of local bookshops—and how I've partnered with them to share my favorite recommendations with savvy shopkeepers like you.  Plus, I'll share how you can win a $50 gift card to the new Savvy Shopkeeper Bookshop!
