Independent bookstore fans have several opportunities to strike it book-rich this month. On his blog, author Joe Hill has declared March "Love Your Indie Bookstore Month," and he's holding a contest to celebrate accordingly.
In Joe's own words, How to Play: Go to a local independent bookstore. Buy something. Save the receipt. Send a photo or scan of the receipt to this address: indie@joehillfiction.com. Make sure either your e-mail or your receipt includes the name and phone number of the bookstore in question.
At the end of March, Joe will draw names at random to award an assortment of signed, rare, and otherwise tasty books and literary goodies.
Meanwhile, Authors Round the South is offering the Free Book Stimulus Plan for shoppers of a Southern persuasion. Buy a book from any of these Southern Indie Booksellers, complete and mail the plan form with your book receipt, and you'll receive a free book to match your interests for the cost of a stamp.
Shopping at the Blue Elephant satisfies the requirements for both of these deals, of course. Good luck, and happy reading!
