đź“š Help Us Open Shelf Love: Metro Atlanta's Newest Romance-Only Bookshop! đź’•

Hi, I’m Leah Taylor—USA Today bestselling romance author, founder of the Romance Atlanta Writers and Readers Signing Event, and your friendly neighborhood hopeless romantic. Today, I’m asking for your help to make a dream come true: opening Shelf Love, the very first romance-only bookshop in West Georgia! 🏠✨

This isn’t just about opening a store. It’s about building a home for romance readers—a cozy haven where we can gather, laugh, swoon, and celebrate the stories that bring us so much joy. 💖

Why a Romance-Only Bookstore?

Romance novels gave me more than love stories—they gave me a community. 📖✨ Romance readers are brilliant, passionate, and unapologetically enthusiastic, but our favorite genre often gets overlooked or dismissed. That’s why Shelf Love is here: to celebrate everything that makes romance wonderful.

Located in Austell, Georgia, this bookstore will be our space—a no-judgment zone where every reader and every story is celebrated. Think of it as a love letter to romance, written with all of us in mind. 💌


What We’re Building Together:

✨ A Cozy Space: The perfect vibe for browsing, reading, or finding your next book boyfriend.
✨ A Community Hub: Hosting book clubs, writing workshops, author signings, and more!
✨ A Celebration of Love: Featuring romance in all its glorious forms—diverse, inclusive, and joyful.


How You Can Help:

Your support will go toward:

🛠 Renovating the store: Creating that perfect warm and inviting atmosphere.
đź“š Stocking the shelves: Filling them with a diverse selection of love stories.
🎉 Creating a space for events: Book signings, meetups, workshops—you name it!

Every dollar, share, and bit of support gets us closer to opening the doors of Shelf Love and welcoming YOU into this dreamy space. Let’s celebrate love together. 💕
