October will be here before we know it! I’m so excited to have Emma Elizabeth join us on our sold out crawl!

And did you hear? Cheryl Campbell Author is joining us for February and we only have SIX tickets left. Grab yours on Eventbrite before they’re gone! 🩷✨

Eeeeek! I am so excited to announce our local guest author for our October Halloween-themed crawl will be Emma Elizabeth!!!

Emma is a project manager by day, but her real love is writing cozy, spicy romance (mostly of the fantasy variety)! She lives in Morrisville with her girlfriend, her tiny dog Arya, and their two very silly frogs. She’s a bit of a hobby magpie and enjoys learning new things. Recently she’s been into quilting and crochet!

Everyone will be receiving a copy of Emma’s novelette “Lessons with a Lich” in their swag bags! Emma will sign and personalize copies and join us on the crawl. :)

Eeeeek! I am super excited to announce we now have a rewards program! The more crawls you go on, the more goodies you get! We already have someone returning for their THIRD crawl in February and many returning for their second in October and February.

We appreciate you spending your day with us and these extra treats are our way of saying thank you. ✨🩷

Y’allllll. Dana Isaly really outdid herself! I wanted a new ✨official✨ logo before our next crawl. Never did I imagine these bookstore crawls would become what they have and originally I didn’t invest in branding because I thought I’d only be doing a couple. But now that we are going into our fourth sold out crawl in October and tix go on sale for February 2027 this coming Sunday, I knew I needed something that better fit the vision. While we’re just in Raleigh now, please know that we have big dreams to expand to more bookstores in the Triangle area AND move to new cities! (I’m looking at you, Charlotte & Wilmington 😉)

So here’s to a new chapter and a new logo that just screams GIRLY POP FUN.

I’m so excited for what’s in store for Indie Bookstore Crawl!!

(Thank you, thank you, Dana!)

I'm finalizing the guest author (it'll be contemporary romance!) but tix will go live Sunday at 11am!
