A few weeks ago, a customer asked me if I had any recommendations for a lesbian romance novel. I stood there for a moment, speechless. It had finally happened. My dream, come true! We went on a little walk around the bookstore, and I got to nerd out about some of my favorite books. That evening, my girlfriend asked how my day was. I said it was *incredible* because I got to hand sell my favorite books to a customer.
Country Bookshelf <3s Pride Month. It is a time when our staff gets to highlight authors and books we love! Queer stories written by queer authors curated by queer members of our staff!!! Because, believe it or not, the young queer kids with their emotional support English teachers grew up to work at a pretty cool bookstore. Whether you're a part of the LGBTQIA2S+ Community, a strong ally, or somewhere along the ally to queer pipeline, we've got a book for you and you belong in our bookstore. Happy Pride from Country Bookshelf.
