Explore Houston bookstores during a second annual bookstore crawl
Bookworms, it's time for the mad dash to see how many indie shops you can make it to before the end of April. State of play: 25 bookstores have united for the second annual Houston Bookstore Crawl. And, boy, do we have a variety all throughout the Greater Houston area — from shops that have existed for decades, like Brazos Bookstore, to new genre-specific ones, like Mossrose Bookshop. Other participants include Pearland's LIT Java book and coffee shop; pop-up Candescent Books; Murder by the Book in Rice Village; and Copperfield's Books in Spring. Check out a map of the booksellers. How it works: Pick up a crawl card at one of the 25 participating stores. Get your card stamped or signed by each of the stores you visit through the end of April. Once you visit 10, you can submit your card to any of the participating bookstores to be entered into a raffle for gifts. Every store you hit after the first 10 counts as an additional entry. The cards must be turned in by the end of business on April 30.
