Hi, hello! What a year of questing for me and for any of you on the hunt for your new local bookshop. I made a big effort to attend as many grand openings as possible last year. But I still want to shout out all the bookstores that opened across Texas in 2025. I’ve got a list of 30+ bookstores, and I’m happy to update this list as more people reach out with more information.
I’ve provided helpful links if you want to follow them on social media, make online purchases, visit in person, or see what events they’ll be vendoring next. For now, please enjoy this robust list! And of course, if you want to see the full list of Texas bookstores, click here.
