The San Diego Book Crawl and Independent Bookstore Day
The San Diego Book Crawl is back for its 6th year with more participating bookstores (13) and more prizes for crawlers than ever before! The Sixth Annual San Diego Book Crawl lasts 3 days and stretches from Coronado to Del Mar, starting Saturday April 29, in conjunction with Independent Bookstore Day.
Plus, this year the SD Book Crawl is pleased to announce Lizz Huerta, author of the YA Fantasy novel "The Lost Dreamer" will be our official Author Ambassador and the first ever selection of our San Diego Book Crawl Book Club!
“I’m thrilled and honored to be the ambassador for the 2023 Book Crawl. San Diego indie bookstores hold a special place in my life. Indie booksellers have not only championed my debut novel, 'The Lost Dreamer' but they have provided me with the best book recommendations in a variety of genres. I’ve spent countless hours in conversations with booksellers and know they are some of the most brilliant and hilarious people around." -Lizz Huerta, Author of "The Lost Dreamer"
Book Crawlers receive a Book Crawl ‘Passport’ at their first bookstore stop and receive a stamp in that passport when they spend at least $10 at any of the participating stores. The more stamps you collect, the more prizes you win. (While supplies last.)

- 1st store stamp: Souvenir SD Book Crawl 2023 Passport.
- 3rd store stamp: SD Book Crawl 2023 Limited Edition Sticker designed by Manda Bernal from Burn All Books.
