...Literally Texas Book Trail

I will remember you….will you remember me…..?
*cue tearful shots of Magda and Lindsay. 
 
This week the gals of Literally Books go back to where it all began a year ago, The Texas book Trail!! This year, they blaze the dusty trails to Lockhart, where they visit a vintage store, a haunted building, a purveyor of artisan candies and a gift shop with a perfectly curated selection of stationary and candles…Oh, and did we mention that each of these are bookstores too? Come join them on their journey as they discuss the magic that can be found when a community comes together.
