July 2010 Indie Next List

Out now, the Indie Next List for July!

We have book trailers for The Secret Lives of Baba Segi's Wives by Lola Shoneyin, and Michelle Hoover's The Quickening.

Listen to NPR interviews with Adam Ross, on his debut novel Mr. Peanut, and The Daily Show correspondent Samantha Bee on her memoir I Know I Am, But What Are You?

Lots of highly anticipated books on this month's list! Tana French's third Dublin murder squad novel Faithful Place, What Is Left the Daughter by Howard Norman, the new David Mitchell novel The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet, Savages by Don Winslow, and Carolyn Parkhurst's The Nobodies Album are just a few.

Find the printed list at an independent bookstore near you. We're also offering a print-at-home version, found on the Indie Next List page directly beneath the carousel of titles, so you can read at home and take it to your local indie.

Happy reading!






Why shop Indie?

When you shop at an independently owned business, your entire community benefits:

The Economy
  • Spend $100 at a local and $68 of that stays in your community. Spend the same $100 at a national chain, and your community only sees $43.
  • Local businesses create higher-paying jobs for our neighbors.
  • More of your taxes are reinvested in your community--where they belong.
The Environment
  • Buying local means less packaging, less transportation, and a smaller carbon footprint.
  • Shopping in a local business district means less infrastructure, less maintenance, and more money to beautify your community.
The Community
  • Local retailers are your friends and neighbors—support them and they’ll support you.
  • Local businesses donate to charities at more than twice the rate of national chains.
  • More independents means more choice, more diversity, and a truly unique community.

Now is the time to stand up and join your fellow individuals in the IndieBound mission supporting local businesses and celebrating independents.

IndieBound supports Independent Business Alliances around the country. To find an alliance near you, visit AMIBA or BALLE.
