Pacific Northwest and West Coast Faves
Here, you’re definitely in Romance-Landia! Grab a blind date with a book option if you want to be surprised, or grab a read from your favorite romance author!
Meet Cute Romance Bookshop
This is not technically a romance bookstore, but it is a queer-owned bookstore that often has romance reads! Check out their bathroom, it’s probably the prettiest one I’ve ever seen at a bookstore
Charlie’s Queer Books
If you’re in Ventura, this bookstore is a must-visit! They have the cutest bookish stickers and Kindle cases, and even their store sticker is cute!
Smitten
From Portland with love! I love the mural in this store, and you can usually find signed books from local authors like Anita Kelly!
Grand Gesture Books
This bookstore is small but mighty! I love the sticker collection here, and it makes for a great stop on a roadtrip from Seattle to Portland.
Flirting with Fiction Bookstore – Flirting With Fiction
East Coast Bookstores
This is my all-time favorite romance bookstore! Great recommendations and merch, and they have a decent selection of signed books! If you’re local, check out their book clubs and author events!
