Did you miss the Seattle Independent Bookstore Passport Challenge that started on Independent Bookstore Day and wrapped up May 4th? There’s another sequential bookstore event coming right up in the Ballard neighborhood to encourage you to visit five local bookish haunts over a weekend. Here’s some information courtesy of Secret Garden Books:
Join us for the first annual Ballard Book Crawl May 23rd-May 24th!
Take a tour through the bookshops of Ballard: Secret Garden Books, Swoon City, Ballard Books, Twice Sold Tales, and The Ink Drinker, our favorite book bar.
Collect (more) stamps from the five locations, then submit your completed card to any one of them to be entered to win a grand prize of $150 in gift cards from the participating stores!
The crawl will feature delights such as…
Free ARCs at Secret Garden
Free Book Bedazzling at Swoon City
Live Music at Ballard Books
Cute Cats at your service at Twice Sold Tales
and a Specialty Cocktail at The Ink Drinker!
