This Saturday, May 5, is Free Comic Book Day, as the first day of May has been for many years now. It is an opportunity to head to your local comic book shop (as well as a few possible other locations) and get a free comic book (and possibly more than one). Booknotes is unfortunately not one of these locations. Still, we strongly urge you to head to your nearest one (in the Pikeville area, this would be Page 3 Game Zone) and find something you like. For those who haven't read comic books in some time, be aware that not all of the free titles are for all ages. If planning on picking something up for a younger reader, look at what's available before choosing. Some of the offered titles, as well as some the individual stores might offer on their own, are diffidently not for kids. Also, the last Saturday in April, the 28th this year, was Independent Book Store Appreciation Day. Unfortunately, we forgot all about it until after the fact, and we didn't participate. As it is, Booknotes had to be a member of an independent retail/book store association to be able to get the freebies that were handed out, and we are not a part of one. To be honest, we are not sure there even is one for this part of Kentucky. Anyway, we support the efforts of others even if we did not do so ourselves. See you next time, and don't forget to get a free comic, or two.
