    As a book lover I had my eye on visiting this place for a while, finding out it was Latina owned was very special as well, the owner is so kind! I had the opportunity of visiting thanks to a Yelp Event, and it was such a cute store!! Everything was clearly categorized and diverse there's something for everyone to enjoy from Gothic to LGBTQIA to Spanish Language books to Romantasy etc ; But aside from books if you are looking for cute gifts they have a lot of unique items, I thought it was so nice they had blind date books too. The area it's situated in is a very quaint neighborhood as well, you can park out front or if you're comfortable a block away is a nearby school with parking as well which makes a nice walk to the store. I will definitely be telling all my friends and fellow book readers about this place, if you're a sucker for love stories you can't go wrong with this place

    What an adorable romance bookstore. It's right across the street from East End market and my coworker and I walked over to check it out after learning about them from the Yelp event the night before. It's so girly and I love all the pink and the purple and of course, I love a great Taylor Swift reference which they had everywhere in store and in their name. They have a large selection of romance books and different stickers, bags, and just so many cute little trinkets for book lovers. I would definitely recommend this to anyone who loves a good romance novel.

    A book store sure to make Taylor proud. This was my first time here and it was so lovely! The sticker selection was INCREDIBLE. The book selection was just what I had hoped for. I absolutely loved the fact that so many of the books have author autographs - makes them feel extra special. In a world of digital corporate conglomerates, it feels nice to support a small business! Absolutely recommend but enter at your own risk because I lost all self control in there and bought so many books!

    We had a great time shopping at this romance only bookstore during the Yelp swap and sip event. I love their selection of LGBTQ+ titles because it's two whole bookshelves full instead only a shelf or two. THANK YOU! I also love their selection of local artists and bookish gifts and goodies. Definitely a must do bookstore in Orlando!

    Located in a strip mall this bookstore is well-stocked with tons of traditionally published favorites and indie titles, plus plenty of gifts and bookish goodies for romance readers. I really liked the coloring and the gifts. Staff was also very friendly.

    Stopped by for a quick visit over a month ago. The store was super cute and full of other fun goodies like stickers, bookmarks, candles, etc. I loved the curation of the books too, obviously. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, and offered me recommendations as well as told me a little bit more about the book I had chosen. I hope I can stop by again when I'm in the area!

    The cutest female owned Taylor Swift themed romance book store. Whenever I am in a different city, I like to visit independent book stores and buy books as "souvenirs" of my travels. I love this neighborhood within the Orlando area. The shop is in a small strip mall with parking in front. The decor is adorable and several spots for cute photo moments. They offer a variety of romance genres and all the merch is so great. Stickers, bookmarks, apparel, candles, art and so much more! The prices are in line with what I would expect and I like to support independents. I bought a book and several stickers. The gal working was helpful and kind. Now go visit them!

    There is no place like The New Romantics. Whether you're looking for your next romance book pick or a place to sit down and unwind, TNR has it all. With an amazing staff, constant rotating selection and phenomenal events, I know that my money is well spent.

    I am obsessed with this place!! I have been wanting to visit since they opened and I finally had the chance. The theming of the store is absolutely beautiful and the staff is so sweet. Will def be back. Book selection is catered to romance which is totally my style. Prices are typical for other book stores.

    We stopped by because we were at a nearby restaurant. It was my first time in the store but I had heard about all the hype. It's such a cute store. I was worried it was going to be all cute romances, but they have a wide selection of romance. The saleswoman was so knowledgeable, and they had adorable trickers and journals. I got a cute claw clip, a planner, and a romance. I can't wait to visit again.

    This is the cutest, little bookstore and the employees are very helpful. If you need a recommendation for any type of romance-themed book, you HAVE to go here. They have a wide selection, plus, you can pre-order books too. They hold several author meet-and-greets throughout the year. I would recommend following them on social media to see all the fun events.

    In love with this bookstore! This locally owned and romance themed bookstore is amazing! The aesthetic is apparent even from the outside. The staff is super friendly and willing to help. Everything is organized by category. From accessories and bags, to genres of books, there's so much to look at and explore. There's a cozy hangout area in the front and they even have their own themed apparel and bags. Such a good value and you are supporting locally. The bookstore also works with other local businesses and host events like book clubs and authors signings. A must for any book lover in Orlando!

    A romance themed bookstore! I don't need to say more but I will! I loved this cozy and cute store. It was welcoming and very well organized. They have their shelves organized easily into genres. They also have lots of little gifts for any book lover. In fact, they carry hair bows from one of my favorite brands!! Last plus for this store is that it's mildly Taylor Swift themed.

    Kept trying to come here on Sunday- they're closed, but it kept being the only day I would have a…read morechance to go. FINALLY had a Saturday off, and I'm so sad I wasn't able to make it out here before now. I also brought a bag of books to sell. The processing for the books I brought took about 30 minutes (it was an IKEA bag FULL, I just needed to transfer to one of their bins). That gave me time to look around and see what they might have. Not all of my books were accepted, which was fine, because the reason this place is so big and yet does such good business is that the books are well currated to ensure that they are desirable. Older books, or less desirable are kept down to one copy, whereas more popular books may have three or four of the same book, but the book is popular enough that it will be sold. Value wise, the rare, signed, and first editions area is VERY reasonably priced. Value for books brought in is given as either cash (I was given a lesser amount this way) or store credit I walked out with a few of the sequels of book series I have the first and maybe second of, but this way I could complete the series for less. I also found a few books on my TBR that were available. Books are indeed at used book prices, not hugely marked up, so overall I considered the visit a huge win. Overall, I guess my complaint is only that this is the only location, and I wish there was a sister store more toward central or even the west side of Orlando.

    Brightlight Books in is one if my favorite used bookstores in the area. The team is always so kind…read moreand helpful and the selection of books, games and movies is diverse and they even have decent selection of newer titles. The prices are also very reasonable and I feel like I receive a fair credit for books I bring to them for resale. I highly recommend supporting this business!

    My best friend and I went on a quest to find bookstores we have not visited before. I saw this one…read moreon someone's instagram stories and was intrigued. First, they have a lot of books. When I first walked in I wasn't even sure where to begin but it was great to be able to browse and see their extensive collection. Staff is very friendly and let us know that they curate their books from donations. If you donate your books to them, they create an account where you can have a credit on file to use. As someone, that occasionally does donate books, this is fantastic news! Additionally, all of their books unless otherwise stated are half off the cover value which is incredible and affordable! They definitely had something for everyone there. I look forward to visiting them again, hopefully with some books to give them!

    The Book Rack in downtown Ocoee is not only a great place to shop for used books; it's also a great…read moreplace to bring in any of your own used books for credit. You're not only decluttering your house, but you're helping out a small local business. With every book you bring in, you receive credit toward future purchases. I already have more credit than I'll probably ever use, but I'm happy that my previously read books are going to a good home. The store has a pretty decent used book selection with floor-to-ceiling shelving (and also some graphic novels, CDs, and DVDs). It's always hit-or-miss, so each time I go; I never know what I'll find. There's also a little sitting area with coffee or hot cocoa, if you so desire. How much are the used books? They're half off the cover price. How does the credit work? You get an additional half off the half-off price. So if a book has a cover price of $8, the store sells the book for $4. I can use my credit balance for an additional $2 off (half of the $4), leaving the book at a total of $2. There are also some $1 books on a rack outside the store. Everyone working there is always super friendly and helpful.

    Great selection of books, dvds, mixed media, organized really well. They have so much product,…read moretheir shelves flow into stacks of books on the floor. They put care into their displays and what figurines or other trinkets are placed with which books. Their prices aren't as cheap as books when you thrift, but the effort that goes into curating and organizing a collection this big - almost makes it worth the retail prices on some of these books. I also noticed they had some Disney tsum tsum? Figurines that must be slight after and collectible because the retail was 5.95 and the written price for the store was $10.

    Wow, this store has a LOT of books, almost too many. There are so many that they have overflowed to…read morethe floor in some areas taking up part of the walkway. They also have a lot of CDs, VCR tapes, magazines, and many more items I was unable to explore on this visit. We were on our way to a concert and I had about 30 minutes to look for a few music books, which I found with the staff's help. I have to say that the staff were great and knew exactly where they kept the music books, good job! It's good to know this store has a variety of music books to choose from and for the most part they are organized well, except the ones on the floor. You just have to dig a little. I chose two Faber level III piano books and a Bastien level III piano technique book. The Bastien book was only $2 but it has a lot of notes from previous students. The two Faber books were $6 each and virtually untouched, excellent! Some of the books are on the pricey side, especially some of these old music books, they are asking $20 when the covers are missing and music score is illegible. I just don't see myself spending that much when I can put that $20 towards a brand new book series or Henle Album of exceptional quality. Regardless, I want to support local, and have been very happy with my purchase. I will return again to see what I missed on my previous visit. If you love book stores, this is a good one and definitely worth the stop.
