If you haven't yet read this, I have clearly failed you in some way. This was my favorite book of '24 & I own multiple copies.
If you haven't read it, reply to this & I will buy an e-book (Kobo or Bookshop) copy for the first five.
Prefer audio? I'll add two of those, for a total of seven.

The Book of Love ebook is currently on sale for 1.99, y'all. :)

When I posted this yesterday, it was (mostly) me venting/lamenting & allowing myself a moment of sadness for what looked like reality. I was honestly surprised when it took on a life of its own & I'm so grateful to everyone who stepped up to help keep my little passion project alive. I love you all.
I'm gonna be real-real here: Bookstore Romance Day may not happen in 2026. By this time of year, I've usually secured at least a handful of sponsors & their backing helps pay for things like newsletter services & Canva & Zoom & internet, all of which are needed for planning & off-season events.

Sponsorships & donations are way down for #BookstoreRomanceDay for 2026. I don't want to have to shutter it, but I'm unemployed & don't have the funds to keep it going out of my own pocket. I'm considering setting up a Kickstarter & would love to talk to others who've done so. #Romancelandia

I'm creating a booklist for all of the books that came up in conversation & the chat during the Lost & Found Magic event & it's long & a lot & my eyes are getting tired, but worth it. So many great books for people to discover or re-visit.
