Spice up your life: new romance bookshop in Leamington draws huge crowds on opening weekend
A new romance bookshop in Leamington The Spicy Librarian drew huge crowds over its opening weekend.
A queue of customers from the shop at 45 Warwick Street, at the corner of Tavistock Street, stretched almost as far along as the Russell Street turnoff at times on Saturday (February 14, Valentine’s Day) and a ‘one in, one out’ policy was in place for most of the day.
The Spicy Librarian, which claims to be the largest bookshop of its kind in Europe, specialises in selling adults-only romance novels mainly from independent authors.
It has more than 2,000 titles in stock, a licensed bar, seating and will serve as a hub for book clubs and author signings covering various romance sub-genres.
The shop is open from 10am to 7pm from Monday to Wednesday, 10am to 9pm on Thursdays, 10am to 11pm on Fridays and Saturdays and 10am to 9pm on Sundays.
The Spicy Librarian has an Instagram page https://www.instagram.com/thespicylibrarianuk/ and a podcast on YouTube here: https://www.youtube.com/@SpicyLibrarianPodcast/videos.
