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.

1. No books published by Amazon (Montlake, CreateSpace, &c.)
2. No Amazon links
3. E-only titles should be available through Kobo or Hummingbird

This is late in coming, but we wanted to say THANK YOU!

Thank you for helping to make the first Bookstore Romance Day a sucess!

We couldn't have done it without the support of all of you and wouldn't have wanted to. From bookstores to authors to publishers to readers, we loved seeing all of you come together to create a fantastic day of celebrating Romance fiction in independent bookstores. We are more grateful than you can imagine.

We also want to thank all the bookstores and readers and authors who tagged us on social media. We apologize if we didn’t like or share everyone’s posts. We will do better next year!

One more sleep until Bookstore Romance Day! We’re having a lot of fun over @thirdstreetbooks getting everything ready. Let’s do a couple more recommendations.
_
• A NOTORIOUS COUNTESS CONFESSES BY JULIE ANNE LONG•There are two things I adore: A "longing" book, where the romantic tension is so palpable you can cut it with a knife, and a hot vicar. This book has both, plus a courtesan-turned-countess and is a book that still lingers in my mind. If you, like me, appreciate a book where "Will they or won't they" feels like a genuine question (even though it's a Romance, so you know that of course they *will*), I strongly urge you to pick up this, the seventh in Long's Pennyroyal Green series. (Honestly, even writing this, I get an actual physical memory of the looonging.)
_
Romance adjacent rec:
• THE CALCULATING STARS BY MARY ROBINETTE KOWAL• Quite frankly, Mary Robinette Kowal writes marriage better than any other author. Elma and Nathaniel are no exception to this rule and serve as the emotional core of this thoroughly-researched, compelling told, Hugo Award-nominated alternate history of the space program. Smart science and satisfying emotion--what more could you want?
