You've been waiting for Ewan and Grace/Dahlia's story; waiting to see if Sarah MacLean can truly redeem him and make him worthy of an HEA. Your wait is almost over.

Don't forget to join us, Frolic, Avon Romance, and WORD Brooklyn & WORD Jersey City for the virtual launch event for #DaringandtheDuke by Sarah MacLean. Watch Frolic's Megan Corbett interview Sarah and order signed copies of Daring and the Duke from WORD.

#BookstoreRomanceDay was founded in Oregon and I (Billie) am extremely grateful that my regional booksellers' association has been so incredibly supportive ever since I first excitedly (and naively) mentioned it to our Executive Director and my colleagues and sales reps at the reception following last year's American Booksellers Association Spring Forum.

The last year has been more than I ever anticipated and I'm so grateful to have the PNBA team in my corner.

Since Bookstore Romance Day was first announced la

Since Bookstore Romance Day was first announced last year, we heard from a number of children's booksellers that they wanted to join in the fun, but weren't always sure how to do so. Most of them found a way, but we wanted to be very conscious this year of including more Young Adult and Middle Grade fiction in our celebrations.
-
Therefore, it gives us great pleasure to announce that Meg Cabot has done us the honor of agreeing to serve as the Bookstore Romance Day Ambassador for 2020. From The Princess Diaries to Little Bridge Island, Meg's writing career has provided HEA's for readers from 10 to 110 and we can't think of anyone who better exemplifies the all ages appeal of a Happily Ever After.
-
To celebrate our new Ambassador, the Bookstore Romance Day Book Club will be reading The Princess Diaries (which is celebrating TWENTY years this year) and No Judgments, the first in Meg's Little Bridge Island series. (The second Little Bridge novel, No Offense, will be publishing on August 11, just in time for Bookstore Romance Day on August 15.)
-
We have many other things we're working on with Meg and can't wait to share them with you. Make sure you're following us on social media and sign up for our newsletter so you don't miss a single thing.
