I'll be sure to pay more attention to the PSqB blog now, though! Personally, I like the blogs that share the bookstore's events and lift up local authors/local books especially.Audrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07511122937603890352noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-83793148674744089692012-05-08T12:24:57.388-04:002012-05-08T12:24:57.388-04:00If there were a chat link to talk to a store emplo...If there were a chat link to talk to a store employee about finding the right book, asking if something were in stock, or just recommending a book to fit a reader's tastes, I would be all over that! These are some interesting things to think about. I will come by and post more if I think of anything else!Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07443338685890187334noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-68821648449077623162012-05-08T11:36:06.065-04:002012-05-08T11:36:06.065-04:00I don't tend to read bookstore blogs, but then...I don't tend to read bookstore blogs, but then again, I wasn't aware there were any. When I think of the concept, though, I tend to think that it won't be as interactive as a personal blog would be so it would make me a bit hesitant to visit one often.<br /><br />I think, though, if a bookseller was personal (without being too revealing about their own personal matters), and really listened to what their viewers wanted.. and sort of created an environment for conversation, then I would be more likely to read a bookselling blog.<br /><br />Allison at <a href="http://www.wellreadreviews.com" rel="nofollow">Well-Read Reviews</a>Allison Vaughnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04659783918527507212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-66901754096163148102012-05-08T10:28:31.722-04:002012-05-08T10:28:31.722-04:00I would love to follow a bookstore's blog but ...I would love to follow a bookstore's blog but since the closest bookstore to me is three hours away by train it would be a painful reminder of my predicament.Ryanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07998996750944114185noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-35046066002952573642012-05-08T07:52:40.497-04:002012-05-08T07:52:40.497-04:00I wasn't even aware that the smaller bookstore...I wasn't even aware that the smaller bookstores had blogs, and have to admit that I don't even check the BN.com blog much anymore. The one thing I really liked about the BN.com blog was the bookseller recommendations, as they were usually spot on.Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-8469401013709248632012-05-08T07:32:12.050-04:002012-05-08T07:32:12.050-04:00I can't think of any bookstore blogs I read. ...I can't think of any bookstore blogs I read.

They have a great little blog, and I have gotten many recommendations from them. I guess my biggest issues is that I just don't know about many indie bookstores. We have none in Orlando. I'd love to add to my list.Sandy Nawrothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00564390728106776030noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1359999156621466745.post-30344904852192891992012-05-08T00:26:44.037-04:002012-05-08T00:26:44.037-04:00I didn't know you're selling books now!

They have recommendations from employees and highlight new releases that they're excited about. I think I look for the same thing with bookstore blogs that I do with any other blog: good writing, good information.Heidenkindhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09494625457587427781noreply@blogger.com
