I have seperate goodie bags available for anyone with a 10am time slot who has accessibility needs and cannot queue.Please book a free time slot to help manage the flow of traffic and reduce long queues ? Also there is a LOT of stock, so please book an afternoon slot (after 3pm) if you would like a short queue or no queue!For those of you who don't know me - hi! My name is Starlin and I want to make a place where romantasy reading is celebrated and spicy reading is encouraged. I've often felt embarassed asking booksellers in shops for recommendations, and have felt judged for the books I love most. But reading should be about having fun, and enjoying books that make you happy (and ocassionally rip your heart out and make you ugly cry). I have personally found the Romantasy genre so empowering and so fun, and I can literally yap about my favourite books all day long. I would love to bring the romantasy community together, have the opportunity to meet like minded people and make new friends, and talk about our favourite characters and favourite series together! And of course shop the cutest merch and support small businesses across the UK at the same time :)These pop-ups are to fundraise to open my permanent Romantasy bookshop in Oxford where I live - hopefully this year!If you come along to this event, you can expect:? author tables for in-person signings? imported special edition books from the USA and Australia with sprayed edges!!☕️ vegan pastry corner from a local cafe in the shop!?️ bookish tote bags designed by Starlin? book boyfriend lollipops?️ bookish candles? kindle grips and stickers? keychains, accessories and pins? bookmarks and stationary? embroidered caps, sweatshirts and more!TICKETS AND FURTHER INFORMATIONTime slots are hourly and will help even out the queue :) Please try to arrive within your time slot!ACCESSABILITY & VENUE DETAILSThe Manchester venue I'm using is on the ground floor and wheelchair accessible! There is a small step at the entrance, but there is a ramp available too. If you have a physical disability that makes it difficult to queue, the Bad Girl Books policy is that you do not need to queue. Please come straight to the front and talk to the volunteer on the door, and they will walk you to the lift to go straight up to the shop.There is a ste-free toilet at the pop-up if needed.
