Non-Amazon Online Bookstores

As Amazon announces their priorities during the COVID-19 crisis, maybe we should take a little pressure off them. They may have trouble shipping books now or in the near future, temporarily.

With the help of a bunch of people on Facebook, I’ve collected some online paperback book sources for you to consider. You NEED to buy some books when you’re shut in, right? Many of these also sell e-books, too. Though I don’t think Amazon/Kindle is interrupted, a lot of people have other kinds of e-readers, including me.

I’m giving preference to my own publishers’ sites—can’t blame me for that, right? I haven’t tried all of these, but they’ve all been recommended. Some of them offer curbside pickup. Some are beloved local bookstores and some of those have had to close the physical building to customers.

Feel free to add your favorites in the comments. Let’s keep reading!

Three May Keep a Secret

The cozy town of Endurance is a picturesque place … if you don’t mind a dead body or two. In this first Endurance mystery, Grace Kimball, recently retired teacher, is haunted by a past tragedy, an experience so terrifying she has never been able to put it behind her. When shoddy journalist Brenda Norris is murdered in a suspicious fire, Grace is hired by the newspaper editor, Jeff Maitlin, to fill in for Brenda, researching the town’s history. Unfortunately, that past has disturbing secrets. When a second murder occurs, Grace’s friend, Detective TJ Sweeney, races against time to find a killer. Even Grace’s life will be threatened by this killer in the shadows.
