Austin Texas Book Trail

To help celebrate Independent Bookstore Day, the Austin Texas Book Trail has prepared a path winding through 25 area bookstores stretching from Lockhart to Georgetown. A kickoff breakfast at Mañana Dos sets the pace toward the happy hour close and pop-up at Better Half Coffee & Cocktails. Along the way, discounts and freebies treat trailers, along with raffle entries for each shop visited. From independent standard bearers like BookPeople, Monkeywrench, and BookWoman to specialty stores like Black Pearl, Tribe Comics, and the Little Gay Shop, you can stock up on your summer reading list and maybe find your favorite new third space. – Doug Freeman
