I love that when you first walk in there's a cute setting area set up and the first room is filled with local authors and reading accessories. They ask that yiu remove your shoes but do have fuzzy slippers/fuzzy flip flops to wear if you want.
They have a pink room and dark room. In the pink room you will find more romcoms, cuter/sweeter romances, and in the dark room is where you'll find your darker romances
