Ever stumble upon a hidden gem in the least expected place? Our latest escapade in North Carolina’s book-shopping scene took us from a chaotic flea market to the enchanting Pauper’s Books & More in Clayton. Meghan’s knack for finding quirky romance novels contrasts humorously with Nicole’s preference for classics. Our differing tastes make for some amusing banter as we navigate through the varied selection, from kitschy covers to timeless authors.
Join us as we chat about the nuances of good editing and what makes a story truly captivating … even if it involves Vampire Texas Rangers. Our fondness for tangible books shines through — despite the era of digital reads. As former broadcast journalism majors, our critical eye for grammar and storytelling is evident, yet we strive to celebrate the joy of reconnecting with beloved books and authors. Dive into our fun-filled literary book hunt and discover how our shared love for reading brings us — and our audience — closer together in this bonus episode of Romance on the Rocks.
