In the west of London, an unusual bookstore in Notting Hill region began to work. Saucy Books was the first field in the country where books about romantic relationships were sold to stories and old stories related to fantasy with dragons and fantasy.
Despite the ironic attitudes against the species from skeptics, the store is very popular. According to the creator of the project, Sarah Maxwell, in the first week after the opening, I had to enter a ticket and time intervals system for visitors. Fans of the genre: There were no such comfortable and thematic decorated places in London.
Saucy Books is decorated with pastel colors for fans of erotic literature called Mercan book shelves, sun sunbeds and erotic literature fans called “shame huts”. This field does not look like a store as a club for their interests because they come here not only in books but also to chat with similar people. Most visitors will learn it through Tiktok.
Sarah Maxwell himself is sure: romantic books are still in a prejudiced attitude. According to him, many writers of the genre have long been perceived as low -quality literature, although it has long been the real stars of the book industry. “There is a certain arrogance about what women love. Romanticism is a look by woman and also worthy of a place on the shelves, or he says.

Such a fluctuation first allowed the species to make a significant contribution to the total income obtained from the fiction, which exceeded 1 billion pounds (107 billion rubles).
The popularity of romanticism, especially with tiktok and species Romfant, combined the elements of fantasy and love lands. The series, such as Sarah Jay Maas’s Rebecca Yaros’s “Fourth Wing” and the Courtyard of Roses and Roses, are safely holding the lists of bestsellers, and loyal fans discuss every book, form thematic parties and continue impatiently.
