A romance-focused bookstore called Seventh Shelf opened last weekend in Hanover, Pa., the York Daily Record reported.
Located at 9 Carlisle St., the bookstore carries a wide array of romance titles, with sub-genres like romantasy, dark romance, LGBTQ+, and contemporary represented. A selection of young adult titles are also available, and alongside books, customers can find nonbook items like tote bags, stickers, and candles.
Store owner Tiffany Michael Hammer told the York Daily Record that during the bookstore's opening on Sunday, September 7, there was a line of customers around the block. "We received so much kindness, warmth and compliments--I cried several times throughout the day," she said. "It's more than I could've ever imagined--it's been a dream come true."
