Let\u2019s be honest: coronavirus times can be pretty monotonous. Most days are eat, work, sleep, repeat, all in the same space. It\u2019s boring. One of my favorite ways to break up the uniformity of everyday life during the pandemic is to grab a book. \u201cBut I\u2019ve already read everything on my bookshelf twice,\u201d you say? Have no fear! Here are five local, independently-owned bookstores that will have your back as long as you have theirs.<\/span>\n

A Room of One\u2019s Own<\/h2>\n

315 W. Gorham St. <\/em><\/p>\n

A Room of One\u2019s Own<\/a> is one of Madison\u2019s most beloved stores. In normal times, Room hosts frequent events and welcomes the whole community to browse their bursting shelves. Things are a little different during COVID, but they still have many avenues for you to get books and support them. Room is currently doing contact-free curbside pickup and shipping books (for an extra $3) to anywhere in the U.S. They have also partnered with Libro.fm<\/a> for audiobooks and Kobo<\/a> for ebooks. And if you\u2019re having trouble deciding what to read and long to browse the bookstore again, A Room of One\u2019s Own has quarantine book lists<\/a> to give you some inspiration.<\/p>\n

GASP. This came in from @1cubsh8r after yesterday’s storm \ud83c\udf08\ud83d\udc9c\ud83d\udcda\ud83c\udf08 IS ROOM THE END OF THE RAINBOW?! . . . Always love to see photos folks share with us of the store and of books they got from Room. We miss seeing and interacting with you all. It’s weird to be a bookstore without book lovers. Every Monday were going to share a photo from a Room book lover. Email us your photos at misianatthebookstore@gmail.com if you’d like to see yours on our grid! \u2764\ufe0f\ud83d\udc98\ud83d\udcda\ud83d\udc90 We miss you. . . . . . . #indiebookstore #independentbookstore #independentbookshops #independentbookshop #indiebookshop #indiebookstore #queer #queerowned #queerbookstore #feministbookstore #feminist #Blackliberation #BLM #Blacklivesmatter #madisonwi #bookstores #bookshops #bookstoresofinstagram #bookshopsofinstagram #booksbooksbooks #books #madison #shoplocal #shopsmall #queerpride #queerbooks #transownedbusiness #trans #nonbinary #gnc #genderqueer<\/a><\/p>\n
