Books in the Wild: Saucy Books

There’s a new romance bookshop in London, so of course I have been to visit!

Saucy Books is in Notting Hill, just a short walk from Westbourne Grove Tube station, and as you can see it has a lovely purple frontage and tropical look which makes it really stand out from the crowd.

The tropical colour palate continues inside the store, where there’s what I suspect is a carefully curated selection of romance books, which to my eye seemed to have a little bit of something for most romance readers.

As it happens, I have read quite a lot of this display- Nora Goes off Script, The Paradise Problem, Finders Keepers, The Roommate, and The Neigbor Favor were all books of the week and I’ve writen about One to Watch too.

There’s also “The Smut Hut” upstairs – where there’s a lot of sports romance, but also the romantasy section. I’m not a big romantasy reader, but more sports romances are on my to-do list – except I find it hard to spot the ones that don’t have alphahole heros, because that is really not my thing!

It was actually pretty busy in the store when I arrived – not that you can tell from the photos! – so hopefully it’s going to do OK. I think the location is a good one – I went down to Notting Hill and Portobello Market after I’d made my purchases (yes there were purchases!) and it’s so popular with tourists that hopefully this could become a spot for them.

Have a great weekend!
