Me and some friends made a special trip to visit this place after seeing a tik tok of it. We're avid readers and my roommate and I love sports romances so this was an automatic must visit! It was absolutely adorable and the setup was amazing. They had just about every genre and spice level 👀 for every romance reader. As well as an assortment of merch, stickers, and accessories to look at. If you plan to go I'd definitely save some money to yourself something nice. I got some stickers for my laptop and a twilight Keychain and absolutely adore them!
A Novel Romance is one of the best bookstore in Louisville but also ever. The staff is so friendly and fantastic at their job. All the clubs and events they do are an amazing asset to the community bringing together so many different people in the area. Their store is gorgeous with growth and updates to the inside. Their selection may just be romance but they have a wide range within the genera and have everything from indie authors to big names. They always support local businesses and authors. They are huge advocate for LGTQIA+ having a bookclub dedicated to queer books, a Trans read-a-thon and a panel on queer romances. Overall, just a fantastic experience every time. My favorite place to go always and a must for any read or romance lover.
The ladies working are so incredibly sweet and helpful! This is a very well organized and stocked bookstore, with indie and trad published authors! They also have a lovely local author spot! Found so many affordable signed copies!
The best manga and graphic novel selection in the Louisville area! It’s so cute and there’s such a wide range of novels, cute accessories, genres, etc! Also there’s a very wonderful cat!! A must to do item for book lovers visiting Louisville.
Great concept for a bookstore! I didn’t realize there were so many subgenres of romance novels. Very inclusive and a great place to buy book themed stickers and magnets for the bookish baddie in your life.
