You'll be able to sample a variety of romance books across all your favorite subgenres - from historical to paranormal, contemporary to fantasy, and more.

This event is perfect for fans of romance/fantasy authors such as Sarah J Maas, Rebecca Yarros, and Jennifer L. Armentrout who are looking for a new favorite author. We will also have a sampling of other romance subgenre authors like Ruby Dixon, Kimberly Lemming, H. D. Carlton, Deborah Harkness, Casey McQuiston, and TJ Klune! Books will be available for checkout at the end of the event so that everyone gets a chance to sample. Not sure what to check out?
