Beyond the Bookshelves with Happily Ever After
In this episode of Reading Materials, we’re joined by Robyn from Happily Ever After Bookshop to go beyond the bookshelves and explore the world of independent romance bookselling.
We chat about discovering the right books for readers, championing indie romance authors, the wonderful (and sometimes surprising) world of romance subgenres, and building a community through TikTok Lives and shared reading experiences. We also get into the realities of running a specialist bookshop and why romance deserves to be taken seriously.
