Australia’s favourite romance-speciality bookstore

Over the past couple of years the number of romance-specialty bookstores in Australia has been quietly expanding. You might be surprised to learn that there are currently more than 60 romance-specialty bookstores in Australia. You can find a list of them all here.

So we thought it was about time we officially celebrated all these bookstores with an award just for them!

We invited romance readers from across Australia to nominate their favourite romance-specialty bookstores and received more than 1500 nominations.
