Wondering how bookstore buyers choose forthcoming titles?
Interested in what's hot and new coming out this fall?
All will be revealed in this cocktail hour with Kelly and Andi, the buyers of Fountain Bookstore.

Kelly Justice has been a buyer since the early 1990s. She has been an indie bookseller since 1989, came to Fountain in 2000, and took over in 2008. She has served on countless bookseller boards and committees nationally and internationally but recently has scaled back on those activities to spend more time on the bookstore and personal passions like travel, cooking, and being with important people in her life and the cat.
Andrea Richardson has been the kids'/young adult buyer for Fountain since 2022. In 2018, Andi escaped the corporate world and found her dream job managing an indie bookstore. She also currently works for the Southern Independent Booksellers Alliance in sales and several other capacities. When she's not reading, she can be found playing pinball and relaxing with her husband, her cats, and a nice cold local beer in her speakeasy home.
