romance bookstores as third spaces is WILDLY MY SCENE I am so excited to see this
"Behind this surge is a new generation of booksellers—nearly all women, many in small towns—who believe in the power of bookstores as third spaces (that is, gathering places outside of the home, workplace, or school) where like-minded people can forge connections."
"These spaces, they say, are especially important for women living in remote or socially conservative communities, where access to books by and about women—not to mention frank conversations about love, sex, and romance—can be hard to come by.
For Cheryl Keffer, opening La Petite Mort Books in Cockeysville, Md., this past March was “an act of resistance.”
“What is more subversive than women gathering to talk about books and sex?” she asks."
