Bookshop.org
Bookshop.org is a way to buy books online and support local bookstores. I am an affiliate and will earn a commission if you click through and make any purchase by starting at my storefront. But you can also choose to support your favorite local bookstore, and they will receive the commission and valued support from your purchase. What a great idea!
