How it worked: I picked up a crawl card at Then & Now Bookstore in Galveston, one of the 25 participating stores. I got my card stamped or signed by each of the stores I visited through the end of April. Once I visited 10, I submitted my card to any of the participating bookstores to be entered into a raffle for gifts. Every store I hit after the first 10 counts as an additional entry. The cards had to be turned in by the end of business on April 30.
Say hello to the Participating Bookstores:

Here was my third bookstore:
I've not heard of that one -- It will be fun to learn what you think!
ReplyDeleteI have only read Zevin’s book “Tomorrow and tomorrow and tomorrow”… I hope you enjoy this one! You are making me want to invent my own bookstore crawl.

How fun that you got to visit and select a book from Candescent Books. I'll admit I've not visited a pop-up bookstore, but I would love to come across one. Enjoy your book!
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to hang out with you :-)
ReplyDeleteIt would be fun to hang out with you :-) Maybe we can do so one of these days!
DeleteWhat Tina said. I love a good book store. Beautiful shots.
ReplyDeleteThank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Interesting. Frankly, I had not heard of that bookstore or that book - more to explore.
ReplyDeleteI've read several books by Gabrielle Zevin (Tomorrow and Tomorrow and Tomorrow, and a three part young adult series in a future United States where chocolate is illegal and controlled by organized crime) but never The Storied Life...maybe one day. And maybe one day I can live in a place that has multiple indie bookstores, too.
ReplyDeleteI haven’t had the chance to visit a pop-up bookstore yet, but I’d love to stumble upon one someday. Hope you enjoy your book!
ReplyDeleteSounds like you had a fun time.
ReplyDeleteI like the idea of pop-up bookstores.
