Happy Bookstore Day! (+ a Mini Geeky Bookstore Movie and TV List)

Bookstore Day is a way for bookworms to celebrate and support local independent bookstores. How are you celebrating this wonderful book holiday? Are you going to order books online from your favorite bookstore or are you going to safely make an in-store visit? As for me, I'm just going to order a book or two online but if you do go into stores don't forget your mask and to social distance.

Don't forget to check with your local bookstore to see if they are offering any fun deals. And don't forget about comic book store, they're independent bookstores as well. I also included a mini Geeky Movie and TV List.
