Muddy Water Bookstore Opens in Navasota, Tex.

Muddy Water Bookstore recently hosted a Chamber of Commerce ribbon-cutting ceremony to open its new shop at 120 East Washington Avenue in downtown Navasota, Tex. KAGS reported that owner Suzie Linnenbank moved from the Houston area with her husband a few years ago and wanted to create a place that has a welcoming, small-town feel.

"I want a place where people can come and feel at home, and they can relax, read a book and they can chat with their friends," she said. "I also want to support the community and be a part of growing Navasota."

Linnenbank chose the bookshop's name because "after all, Navasota is the blues capital of Texas," KWBC Radio reported, adding that she had been been "looking for the perfect location for her dream store for the better part of 30 years. Now, the dream is a reality."

Muddy Water Bookstore will offer a variety of genres, including children's titles, with an 80%-20% split in inventory between used and new books. 

On the bookstore's Facebook page, Linnenbank posted after the opening: "The support I'm receiving is beautiful even magical to me. I get all teary eyed and filled with warmth and love thinking about it. Thank y'all!"
