The Little Bubblegum Bookshop had its grand opening celebration October 25 at 103 Wickenden St. in Providence, R.I. The romance-only bookstore "brings a pop of color and plenty of heart to Corliss Landing," Providence Monthly reported.
Owner Erin Masse, a lifelong book lover, said she "wanted to create a space that's joyful, inclusive, and fun, a place where romance readers can feel seen and celebrated. There's something special about walking into a shop that's full of love stories. It's an instant mood boost."
The bookstore features new and used romance novels, along with gifts and accessories. Plans call for hosting author signings, themed book clubs, and after-hours events "designed to bring Rhode Island's romance community even closer together," Providence Monthly noted.
