The Greater Charlotte Book Crawl is Kicking Off Soon in North Carolina
Book worms rejoice! The Greater Charlotte Book Crawl is taking place starting April 1 and wrapping up on April 30th. I love independent bookstores and this Book Crawl is being hosted by some of the best independent bookstores in the Carolinas, across seven counties.
It’s a perfect way to celebrate Spring and support local economies.
Here’s the deal on the Greater Charlotte Book Crawl
The first step is heading over to Greater Charlotte Book Crawl to download and print your bookstore passport. Don’t sweat it if you don’t have a printer, you can also pick up a passport at any participating indie bookstore starting April 1. Next, visit bookstores and stamp your passport! Earn a passport stamp at each bookstore that you visit. Fill your passport to earn prizes. Bring your passport to your final bookstore stop on / before Sunday, April 30th, 2024 for a limited edition 2024 Book Crawl Finisher’s tote bag. Finishers can enter to win 1 of 3 sets of gift cards to each 2024 bookstore. Submit a photo of the completed passport by Sunday, April 30th, 2024 to enter.
Start mapping your journey out and make the most of this year’s book crawl, dear reader! It’s going to be a great time and if you want to keep up with fellow crawlers use the hashtag #GREATERCHARLOTTEBOOKCRAWL on social media to link up with other folks on your quest. Happy Reading!

She’s written a tragic ending where all her characters 💀, so now she must find a way to save the world she’s created. #indiebookstore #indiebookrecs #indiebookseller #mentalhealthbooks #adultfantasybooks #darkfantasybooks #fantasybooktok #authortok #authortokfyp #booktokfyp #indieauthor #indieauthortok #indiebooktok #supportindieauthors #kydbook
