These are all the wonderful things I acquired during the #HTXBookCrawl24 (except for a few presents for my niece, nephews and husband). I got fiction and nonfiction with a wide range of genres. I really need to spend more time reading now to make space on my bookshelves.
My 18th and final stop on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to the Blue Willow, which I've only been to once before. It was actually busy, but the staff still took the time to greet me and help me find something for a couple of 5 year olds I will be seeing in two weeks. Can't believe I managed to make it to all bookstores on the book crawl. I'll share a pic of all my loot soon.
My 17th store on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to The Houston Book Warehouse. I had heard of this store but had never visited before. I brought in some books to sell and walked out with just as many. It doesn't look like much on the outside, but this place is huge.
My 16th stop on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to The Book Attic. This is a used bookstore and was a chaotic maze of books on shelves, on the floor, and in paper bags. I think this bookstore must have just moved, because it was in desperate need of organization.
My 15th stop on #HTXBookCrawl24 was Village Books. This was a cute small store with book art that local kids created.
My 14th stop on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to Copperfield Books, which actually ended up being one of my favorite stops. It not only housed new and used books but also had a room specifically devoted to bookish novelty gifts.
My 13th stop of the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to The Book Readers Venue. It was a very small establishment, but the owner was so knowledgeable and friendly. Plus, I got to chat with a local author whose romance novella I purchased.
My 12th independent bookstore visit on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was to Candescent Books, which is a pop-up bookstore that was set-up at Native Coffee in downtown Houston. The owner not only has a good amount of popular books available, but also homemade candles. The historical fiction candle was my favorite, even though that is not my favorite book genre. This a great spot to hang with friends or just sit with a good book.
I finished up my #HTXBookCrawl24 yesterday during independent bookstore day. Where I got lots of free swag. The cookies were my favorite 😍. Hope y'all got out and supported your local indies yesterday!
My 11th stop on the #HTXBookCrawl24 was a bookstore in Richmond that just opened a couple of months ago called LIT Bookbar. Nothing like an adult beverage surrounded by books. This will definitely be going up there as one of my favorites.
