About
Join new book friends for a fun in-person adventure exploring some of Rolesville, Wake Forest, and Raleigh’s coolest indie bookstores! Meet Katie Karambelas, a local romance author, as you ride to multiple indie bookstores in the area in style on a 25-person party bus. Whether you're looking for new bookworm friends or just looking for a fun day visiting bookstores and drinking coffee and wine, this bookstore crawl is the PERFECT way to spend a Saturday. Don't miss out on this epic day of bookish fun!
What included in your ticket:
· Party bus transportation to and from each stop. You will need to get yourself to the first stop and get yourself home.
· Spend the day with local romance author Katie Karambelas as you stop at various indie bookstores around the greater Raleigh area. NOTE: I am also reaching out to local authors to hopefully get a second author to join us for this crawl!

· A limited amount of wine, beer, water, and snacks on the party bus
· Boxed lunch from The Lemon Tree
