Meet the Woman Behind The Book Haul

Hey, I’m the girl behind The Book Haul!

The Book Haul started with a love of books, a slightly crazy idea, and the belief that finding your next favorite read should be an experience, not just another shopping trip.

I’m the owner and book-obsessed human behind The Book Haul, a mobile bookstore based in North Texas. What started as an idea has turned into a bookstore on wheels that travels to pop-ups, markets, special events, book releases, and pretty much anywhere I can bring books and bookish goodies along for the ride.

The Book Haul is all about creating a fun, welcoming space for readers. The kind of place where you can talk books for way too long, get talked into adding another book to your TBR, discover a new favorite author, and find all the bookish things you definitely didn't come looking for but somehow need.

I especially love supporting indie authors, bringing readers together, and creating experiences beyond simply selling books. From themed events and release parties to mystery bags, exclusive merch, bookish goodies, and our ever-growing collection of reads, I want The Book Haul to feel like a little piece of the book community wherever we park.

Behind the trailer, I’m also a wife, mom, small-business owner, and reader trying to turn something I genuinely love into something bigger than I ever imagined.

The Book Haul has grown, changed, and evolved since the beginning, and so have I, but the heart behind it is still the same:

Good books. Good people. And a whole lot of “I probably don’t need another book…but I’m getting it anyway.”

Thanks for being here, supporting this little bookstore on wheels, and coming along for the ride.
