What's Bookstore Romance Day, you ask? It's a day dedicated to romance books and romance readers, celebrated in bookstores nationwide! This year it's slated for Saturday August 15th, and we'll have a trope-themed prize wheel (win discounts or giveaways!) and a romance recommendation wall, plus handmade jewelry, henna, and coffee pop-ups onsite, featuring Sora, ZeeBeeHenna, and Cafe Monarque! The main event with prizes runs 1-3pm, but our vendors will be here 12-4pm if you want to come earlier/later and skip the crowd. ☺️ See you there!
