Get in Bed with a Book Blogger!
2010 at 2pm Posted by Rebecca Joines Schinsky
For the last several months, I’ve been raving about my partnership with Fountain Bookstore. Hooking up with an independent bookseller just made sense to me, and I’m lucky that it also made sense to Fountain’s owner Kelly Justice, who is quickly becoming my favorite partner in crime. Kelly and I spent this past Sunday lolling about in a fancy bed at Richmond furniture store La Difference (which was cool enough to allow our crazy behavior during business hours), and it was all in the name of books!
It seems that the fun Kelly and I are having is contagious, and today SIBA (that’s the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance) announces that it is jumping on the crazy train with us and encouraging other independent booksellers to partner with local bloggers. We call it “Get in Bed with a Book Blogger,” and we want you to party with us, too.
It just makes sense, people! Read the full article here, and email wanda@sibaweb.com to find out about how you can be part of Get in Bed with a Book Blogger.
Special thanks to Jamie Lewis of Spa 310 for styling, photographer PJ Sykes, La Diff, and SIBA Executive Director Wanda Jewell for enthusiastic support of this project.

This is a great idea! I work at a book store in Ohio, and I have been trying to find bloggers in the area. Do you think this could work from longer distances?
Congrats.
Possibly….but I bet you’ll be surprised by how close you can find someone.
