'Independent Bookstores Carry What They Like'

 

"Bookstores have always been a place that I really enjoyed going. Every bookstore has knowledgeable people that intentionally selected every single book that's in there, so getting recommendations from booksellers is one of my favorite things. Independent bookstores carry what they like. They're not carrying the same handful of books that you can find in every chain. There are real human beings behind each decision."

--Josh Funk, whose book Whodonut?: A Holiday Mystery, illus. by Brendan Kearney (Union Square Kids), is the #1 September/October Kids' Indie Next List pick, in a q&a with Bookselling This Week
