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.

Katy Budget Books
870 S. Mason Rd. #101
Katy, TX 77450
281-578-7770
Katy is a huge western suburb of Houston. It's a solid hour from my house.
Katy Budget Books describes itself as a haven for readers and the curious, for lifelong learners and those ready to explore new worlds; a team of booklovers equipped to match all members of the family with stories they'll love; and a community-oriented business that believes a Katy that reads is a stronger Katy.
I love buying used books. Book with a story behind them -- someone who loved them or didn't. Who tried to solve the mysteries like I do -- and wondering if they did. A good used bookstore with high quality, good condition books is a great find!
