Josh’s Comments (group member since Nov 06, 2016)

Josh’s comments from the Supporting Bookstores group.

In this discussion, we encourage you to share your bookstore specific book hauls. If you visit a bookstore and buy a bunch of books, share with us what you got! If you went to multiple bookstores and got a few books at each, share them as well. If you plan to create videos of this nature, I encourage you to tell us what you got at each place, so that we get an idea of what kind of things we can find at each place.

Here are all of my bookstore specific book hauls:

Hi everyone,

Welcome to Supporting Bookstores! Here is the section where new members can introduce themselves. Suggested information may include where you come from (country, state, county, city, etc.), what you like to read, the things you find important about book shopping, and you can also share links to where we can find you if you have a Booktube channel or blog.

I am Josh and I live in New Jersey in the United States. The thing I love most about book shopping is the hands on experience that comes with browsing through books and in addition to finding books I may have been looking for, coming across books I was not aware of before paying a visit. The ability to speak with like-minded people is also a delight and I really enjoy bookstores with passionate owners, sellers, or employees. I am also a supporter of small businesses in general and I feel that bookstores are no different.

My favorite genres include speculative fiction, horror, thriller, literary fiction, classics, short stories, poetry, historical nonfiction, nonfiction in general (especially in areas that I am interested), and anything else that catches my attention.

You can find me on Literary Gladiators, which is my Booktube channel where I engage in discussions with fellow Gladiators and also create individual content, which includes book hauls that concentrate on particular visits to bookstores.

You can find my channel here: https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCZ6q...

I hope everyone has a great time in this group and I look forward to hearing about all different bookstores from all different areas!
