In the age of BookTok and romance novels on the rise, you might have noticed mobile bookstores rolling onto the Nashville literary scene in the past year. Here are three you can track down on wheels:

📖 Slow Burn Bookshop | Schedule
Look for the red flowers marking the entrance to this mobile shop, where romance reads line the shelves alongside totes, stickers, and bookmarks.

📖 Sugar and Spice Book Co. | Schedule
After roaming Music City since May, this romance-only bookshop has settled into a residency inside Prickly Pear Coffee Co.’s Gulch location while still popping up at events around town. Expect shelves stacked with flirty reads all within arm’s reach of your latte.

📖 Shadowed Pages Bookshop | Schedule
This cozy bookshop carries stories of all kinds but has a soft spot for romance. Look for handpicked titles, mainstream and indie authors, and bookish merch when it rolls up to coffee shops, breweries, festivals, and private events.
