HAPPY INDEPENDENT BOOKSTORE DAY! 🥳📚
Even little bookshelves (like mine) celebrate 🤭
For my first ever independent bookstore day, I’m going to be a little sappy. 🥺
I want to thank everyone who has supported my bookshelf; If I could (& it wasn’t weird) I would personally give each one of you a smooch on the forehead everytime you supported my little bookshelf. 😽
I truly appreciate every single one of you. I couldn’t do this without you.
My ultimate dream is to open up a bigger sized bookstore with even more bookshelves to fill.
Growing up here in town, I vividly remember our old bookstore, Book World. I remember spending an ample amount of time perusing their shelves & yet it never being enough.
I want to be a bookstore people have fond memories with one day.
Bookstores are book lover’s favorite places, & as a fellow book lover, I know we all have our own favorite bookstore. I want to be someone’s favorite bookstore one day.
I want to thank you all a million times for accepting & supporting Jeni’s Bookshelf. With all your support, I am learning, growing, and making my way to my bookstore dream. Thank you, thank you, THANK YOU! 🥹
Now onto the main event… 🥁🥁🥁
I have started a few new projects with Jeni’s Bookshelf…
1. MINI BOOKS GUMBALL MACHINE!
For a quarter, you can try your luck & score a random title mini book 📚🤏🤓
2. FALL IN LOVE ON THE FIRST PAGE BOOKS! 📃❣️
Like Blind Date Books, these titles are hidden & you are given the First Page as your hint for the book! They contain the same items as a Blind Date Book! 🤩
3. BLIND DATE BOOK BUNDLES! 📖🎁
Like my traditional Blind Date Books, they contain the same base items PLUS book themed pouch, small book themed notebook & pen set, magnetic bookmark, & booklight! Everything you could need for a cozy read! 🤭
4. And finally, GOLDEN TICKETS! 🌟🎟️
To thank those who have supported me, I have created GOLDEN TICKETS!
I randomly hid MULTIPLE golden tickets inside my Blind Date Books, First Page Books, & Book Bundles! (Think Charlie & The Chocolate Factory 😉)
Each Golden Ticket has a different prize, it can be a:
- book themed goodie bag
- book themed candle
- book themed crew neck
- free book
- $25 gift card to The Blend! (Support the Women who have supported me! 🥰)
My way to thank those who have supported me, I would be nowhere without you all.
As long as Jeni’s Bookshelf is around, I will happily continue hiding tickets.
As Suzanne Collins once wrote, “May the odds be ever in your favor!”
Happy Indie Bookstore Day! 🎉📚
Thank you for letting me be your local independent bookstore (or shelf if we want to get technical 🫣)
Love, Jeni 🫶🏽
