The 2026 Indie Bookstore Calendar is here
Read Furiously
We know, we know, Furious Readers - 2025 is still going strong and we’re looking to 2026 already. In calendar form, at least. Earlier this year, our authors Bill Hemmig (Americana: Stories and Brethren Hollow) and Margaret Montet (Nerd Traveler and Brooklyn Family Album) came up with the idea to travel throughout New Jersey, visit independent bookstores, and feature them in our first ever Read Furiously calendar.
The Indie Bookstores of New Jersey 2026 calendar is a celebration of the indie spirit that fills every corner of these bookshops. It’s the perfect addition to any booklover’s home - as reading inspiration or as plans for an indie bookstore road trip next year!
The calendar will ship out in November, so now's your chance to preorder your copy before they're gone!
