Welcome, Romantic.

This is a bookshop for people who read romance loudly and proudly. Our shelves hold the love stories we can’t stop talking about, indie and traditionally published, including plenty you won’t find at the big chains. And every goodie we sell is made by a small Canadian business.

Holiday 2026 Box

SANTA'S FAVOURITE 🎄

Whether you’ve been good all year or just good at hiding it.

Santa’s already decided: you’re his favourite. Our holiday box is for the Romantic who’s a little bit naughty and a little bit nice. A signed, sprayed-edge holiday romance and a stocking full of bookish treats, so this season’s reading feels like a gift you get to keep.

Inside you’ll find:

❄️ A signed copy of A Temporary Experiment by Samm Wilde with custom hand-sprayed edges

🎄A book-filled ornament you’ll hang on the tree every December

☕️Your Naughty or Nice List mug: the Nice List (PG) or the Naughty List (NSFW), you choose

📚The All Booked for the Holidays bookmark, a sticker and a card from me, all from local and small businesses

Blankets out. Hot chocolate on. A friends-to-lovers holiday romance you won’t want to put down. Only 10 boxes, and once they’re gone, Santa’s list is closed. Ships by Dec 4.

Let Me Matchmake for You

Want to go on a Blind Date?

A monthly romance subscription for the Romantics who trust me with their TBR. Every month you’ll unwrap a surprise pick, chosen not by an algorithm but by someone who knows exactly what it means to fall for fictional people. Pick your genre (Contemporary or Romantasy), choose monthly or prepaid for 3 months, and get ready for books you might never have found on your own, but definitely belong on your shelf. $36 a month.

“The person, be it gentleman or lady, who has not pleasure in a good novel, must be intolerably stupid.” 

— Jane Austen, Northanger Abbey

The Modern Romantics Book Box

Every season, two love stories chosen on purpose, hand sprayed edges and often signed, wrapped up with treasures from Canadian small businesses. It’s not a box of random bookish stuff. It’s the reading night you keep meaning to give yourself, delivered.

"Reading is escape, and the opposite of escape; it's a way to make contact with reality after a day of making things up, and it's a way of making contact with someone else's imagination after a day that's all too real."

– Nora Ephron
