10 Romance specific bookstores in the us

Barnes & Noble has its moments, and indie bookstores hold a special place in readers' hearts, but have you ever been to a romance genre-specific bookstore? If not, you are sorely missing out if you are a romance reader. There aren't many, but here's a list I've compiled of those I could find in the US. I know there are a couple more that just haven't opened to the public yet, so keep your eyes out on Instagram or TikTok. It's like walking into a book club and being able to strike up a conversation about the love, heartbreak, shadow daddy, or morally grey characters we've fallen for before knowing anyone's name. If you live near any one of these places, I highly recommend you plan a visit. Share pics while you're at it!
