Romancing The Novel

Dearest gentle readers, bookworms and romantics: Brisbane is getting a bookstore dedicated to stories of love and our hearts are already beating faster.

Romancing The Novel started in Sydney, as a romance-only bookstore and quickly garnered a devoted community who flocked to the charming pink spot for its book clubs, author signings and signature events. You can expect all that magic and more at the Brisbane store, including their Girls’ Night In takeovers where you’re invited to gather with like-minded readers to get crafty bedazzling covers and painting book edges. 

From bestselling authors like Rachel Reid, Leigh Rivers, Rina Kent, Elle Kennedy and Ana Huang to emerging names on the romance scene, you’re sure to find your next page-turner at Romancing The Novel. Opening in New Farm this August, it’ll embody the same antique charm as its sister store with special surprises that the Sydney crowd will be envious of. 

“Let’s just say, when we first saw it we knew it was the perfect fit for us,” said owner and romance author herself, Scarlett Hopper. “While we are a few months away from opening, we can guarantee that readers will be treated to a one-of-a-kind romantic experience at our newest location.”
