If I get to visit a bookstore on the weekends, I'll try to go to a mix of new and used bookstores. This past weekend, I went to a local Indigo store (I remember when they were called Chapters!) and took a look at some of the new fiction releases.
Since Christian books are no longer separated into their own category, as was previously done under the Faith and Spirituality section, it's more of a hunt to find them. I was able to spot a few, including Patti Callahan Henry and Kristy Cambron under the Fiction & Literature section, and Bethany Turner under the Romance section.
I've only read The Paris Dressmaker and Plot Twist so far, but I recommend them both! I have several of Patti Callahan Henry's books, so this is a good reminder to add them to the TBR 😊
On that note, since Christian books are sometimes difficult to find in unmarked sections of bookstores (more so Christian fiction although this Indigo did place the Christian non-fiction under the New Age banner—uhh), might I recommend the Get It Local. Today! site? There's quite a number of bookstores listed on its store directory, although some more independent stores may not be included. It sure shows me how many Christian bookstores still exist!
Another blog that I closely follow is Christian Book Shop Talk, for all news about Canadian Christian bookstores. It's always interesting to see how Christian bookstores fare in Canada, and to be inspired to visit them when I travel.
