Canadian Independent Bookstore Day

Fun and games at Brome Lake Books!

Thank you to everyone who came out to Brome Lake Books on Saturday, April 30, 2022, and helped us celebrate Canadian Independent Bookstore Day (CIBD). We were one of more than 120 participating shops across Canada, that took part in this annual cultural celebration; an opportunity for book buyers, authors, illustrators, and publishers to acknowledge the vibrant literary ecosystem created by our “indie” bookshops. And what fun we had!

In the morning we were joined by local author, publisher Angela Leuck, who brought along fellow authors Bernice Angeline Sorge, Phyllis Sise and Carole Martignacco for a mini Haiku event!

In the afternoon Brome Lake Books will be hosted local author Amy Tector for the launch of her new book Honeybee Emeralds:

A trio of unlikely friends dive into the research of a mysterious jewel and go from the stunning and historic Richelieu Library, to a creepy disused theatre in a bad part of town; from high-end jewellers near Place Vendome to the idyllic home of a Loire Valley winemaker; the Fellowship encounters fascinating characters in their search for the truth.
