I’m just gonna toot my horn for a min because I’ve worked my b***y off to make these crawls into something that not only supports indie bookstores and local indie authors but also let’s girls be girls! I always tell my kids that they should feel proud of themselves vs wanting to make me proud and I’m definitely leaning into that. I am so proud of myself for having an idea and making it happen. ✨

and Kali Rae, thank you for the mimosas, blind date with a used book, and fun book shopping! The crawlers enjoyed early access to the $15 fill-a-bag sale at The Winebrary Used Bookstore plus 25% off all other books!

The Winebrary is the perfect starting point for our crawls. Plenty of space, great used books, and delicious beverages!

My heart is truly so dang full after completing our THIRD SOLD OUT Raleigh Indie Bookstore Crawl. What started out as a silly little TikTok video has turned into something more than I could imagine. The way the community has come together to support all of my favorite indie bookstores is just incredible to see. Raleigh Indie Bookstore Crawl is something that I’m really proud of. I’ve loved meeting each and every one of you. Seeing you forge new friendships and support bookstores and authors is a literal dream come true.

October is officially sold out but stay tuned for 2027 dates! Make sure you are subscribed to my newsletter for updates!

THAT’S A WRAP!!!! 🎉🎉🎉 We had such a fun day! I’ll be clogging your newsfeed for days to come. 😅😇 Thank you so much, Cass...
