Romance Recommendations from Ella Risbridger
With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, who better to ask for romance recommendations than romcom expert Ella Risbridger? We’re delighted to be featuring a display in the shop this month with a fantastic line-up of love stories curated by Ella, all with a connection to water or the sea as a wee nod to our seaside location.
And a special recommendation from us – Ella’s book In Love with Love: The Persistence and Joy of Romantic Fiction is the perfect accompaniment to the list. A love letter to an enduring genre and a deep-dive into some of the niches and obscure corners of romance fiction, In Love with Love is a joyful exploration of why we continue to turn to these stories after all this time.
Find the full list below or pop into the bookshop to browse the display in person.
