I started She Reads Bookshop because reading has always been my safe haven, my escape, my obsession, my forever friend.

This cozy, romance-only corner of the internet is for the girls who rush through real life just to get back to their books. Who fall for shadow daddies and cinnamon rolls, who live for fake dating, spice, and a little well-placed angst.

Founded by me, Kara Rios Watson—a lifelong reader with a soft spot for fantasy worlds, unhinged book boyfriends, and slow burns that hurt so good, She Reads is more than a bookstore. It's a fictional sanctuary for women who unapologetically love romance.

Whether you're deep in the throes of ACOTAR and Fourth Wing fandoms, or just discovering the magic of a “he fell first” trope, you belong here.

With curated reads, embroidered merch, and a judgment-free book club, this space is built by a fellow Swiftie who firmly believes “well the fuck aware” is peak flirtation.

So here’s your sign: you’re not too much. You’re not alone. And this is your space now, too. 💌
