Novel Grounds has become my absolute favorite place to go. I have always had the best experience whenever I stop in and I have found my love of reading again! The front of house staff is always pleasant and knowledgeable and just a joy to talk to! I've been to a couple events now also and had the BEST time! I'm already planning my next shopping spree!!!

A nice store to find indie romance authors, and it’s always important to support independent creators.
