Bookshop.org

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House. Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity. They are not the same.

Uhhh, hi! It's me, Bookshop.org, a place to buy books online where every purchase financially supports indie bookstores instead of some billionaire.

You are cordially invited to our Anti-Prime Sale, where every purchase will financially support bookstores, NOT billionaires 🥳

This feels like a ✨prime✨ week to close the book on Amazon.

The grand prize winner of the inaugural‍ James Patterson & Bookshop.org Prize is The Correspondent by Virginia Evans! The Lilac People by Milo Todd is the runner-up. The James Patterson and Bookshop.org Prize is a new literary prize celebrating debut authors, hand-selected by independent booksellers.

It’s never too late to start supporting independent bookstores instead of, you know, other places. 😌

Craving more dark historical fantasy and vampire horror after watching Sinners? We’ve got a list for that: bookshop.org/lists/books-...

You know what’s better than free two-day shipping? Knowing you’re the reason your local bookstore still exists.

Mind if I share some exciting news? We’ve officially raised over $45 MILLION for local bookstores 🥳

Bookshop.org is SIX today. 🥳 In these six years, we’ve raised over $44 MILLION for local bookstores—and we have all of YOU to thank for that. Thank you for loving and supporting indie bookstores as much as we do.

While independent bookstores are giving out free whistles, hosting protest sign making events, and donating proceeds to mutual aid, Amazon is *checks notes* providing technology that assists ICE in their terrorizing of communities. Independent bookstores deserve your support. Amazon does not.

Fun fact: Your local bookstore is doing more to protect you and your neighbors than Amazon is.

I don’t have anything funny or witty to offer as a balm for what we’re currently living through. But, what I do want you to know is that there is a human behind this account and humans behind this brand that are hurting with you. Sending hugs across the internet to everyone who needs one. 💜

Standing with and sending extra love to our Minneapolis bookstore friends and their entire community today 💜
