Established in 2024, Book Lovers Bookshop is the United Kingdom’s first physical bookstore dedicated to Romance Fiction.
Book Lovers Bookshop was founded by Caden Armstrong, an American whose academic journey took her from studying in Paris to earning a master’s in Publishing in Scotland.
Drawing on her background as a book blogger and indie author, Armstrong set out to build a welcoming and supportive space for romance readers.
