Happy One-Year Anniversary to Bookmarkable!
On April 26, I went to the Canadian Independent Bookstore Day at Cross & Crows Books on Commercial Drive in Vancouver, BC. There were tables of people selling jewellery, authors promoting their books and a pop-up bookstore for the currently online Perfect Match romance bookstore, with owner Amy Pelletier displaying lots of physical copies of popular books. She is searching for a good spot in the city for a physical bookstore, coming soon. You can follow her on IG @perfectmatchbookshop. I also spoke with the book crawl organizer, (there was a book crawl of all independent bookstore on Commercial Drive "the Drive"), who goes by the handle Lady Jane who has a website romancingthedata.com/ and you can find her on IG @romancingthedata. I know on the podcast she also mentions Focus on Romance, but I'm not sure that IG account is hers...
I spoke with author Wren Handman and purchased her set-in-Vancouver book, A Midnight So Deadly. I also spoke with a bookstore browser Ben Hill who has a legacy podcast called History of the Mongols (you can still find it and it is fascinating). I also met Ruby Smith Diaz and purchased her book Searching for Seraphim about the late great Vancouver legend, "Joe" Fortes. I met the author Li Charmaine Anne.
Other authors and books mentioned on this podcast include:
Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury The Rising Tide by Anne Cleeves The Rachel Incident by Caroline O’Donoghue The Broken Places by Frances Peck Be Useful: Seven Rules for Life by Arnold Schwarzenegger Business or Pleasure by Rachel Lynn Solomon Great Big Beautiful Life by Emily Henry Practice Makes Perfect by Sarah Adams On Freedom by Timothy Snyder The Lady’s Handbook for Her Mysterious Illness by Sarah Ramey The Inheritance Games by Jennifer Lynn Barnes
