Best Bookstores in Houston

Go beyond Amazon Prime and browse the shelves of Houston’s best bookstores. Many of them offer special events like storytime for kids and book readings and signings by local and international authors. Local bookshops are also a great resource for gifts. I’ve found handcrafted stationery and cards, literary themed t-shirts, and unique artwork.

Be sure to mark your calendar for Independent Bookstore Day on Saturday, April 27th, when local retailers host fun happenings to celebrate the love of reading with their customers. 

Here’s a roundup of some of my favorite bookstores:

For pre-owned books and rare finds, visit these locations:

And for those of you in the suburbs, Tomball has The Book Attic, Katy residents can check out Katy Budget Books, and visit Once & Again Books if you’re in The Woodlands. 

To quote Dr. Seuss, “the more that you read, the more things you will know!”
