WanderLust Pop-Up on Independent Bookstore Day

WanderLust Mobile Bookstore is a romance-only, women-owned indie bookstore on wheels serving all lovers of love!

“Our mission is to bring inclusive, joyful, and love-filled stories directly to the community. We center on romance novels—a genre too often dismissed as frivolous or less worthy—because we believe stories about love, pleasure, identity, and empowerment matter deeply.

By curating diverse titles and creating a space where everyone can see themselves reflected in the pages, we’re challenging stigma and celebrating the power of storytelling. As part of our commitment to community care, we also offer resources and pop-up events that support sexual health and wellness.

This isn’t just a bookstore on wheels—it’s a mobile movement for connection, visibility, and unapologetic joy.”‘

Join us on Independent Bookstore Day as WanderLust Mobile Bookstore will be parking their van outside of our tasting room. There will be some special guests as well:

Susanna Daniel, E. H. Lupton & Ashley Hintermeyer PLUSE The Dragon’s Tailor & FrauMeow.

WanderLust will be here 4pm-8pm. The Giant Jones tasting room is open 3pm-9pm.
