Slow Burn Bookshop has opened a bricks-and-mortar store in Nashville, Tenn., following its debut as a pop-up shop, StyleBlueprint reported.
The romance-focused bookstore resides at 604 Gallatin Ave. #208, and opened its doors in January. It carries a wide array of romance titles across many sub-genres, with owner Tonya Pineda putting particular emphasis on diverse authors and independent authors. Pineda's event plans include author signings, trivia nights, yoga classes, and more. Prior to launching Slow Burn, she owned a boudoir photography business for more than 10 years.
"I created Slow Burn with the intention of creating a safe space for people who have never felt comfortable in a traditional bookstore," Pineda told StyleBlueprint. "I hope my fellow weirdo readers feel that when they step into my store."
