Germantown, MD — Romance is hitting the streets of Montgomery County with L’Amour en Route, a brand-new mobile bookshop from local small business Romantique Books. Romantique Books has operated exclusively online, until now. Specializing in curated romance novels and bookish gifts, this pink, heart-adorned cart is the first of its kind in the area, bringing swoon-worthy stories directly to readers at markets, pop-ups, and community events.
Founder Jeanette Thompson describes the project as “a love letter on wheels,” designed to make romance literature more accessible and fun. With signature touches like string lights, cozy vibes, and handpicked titles, L’Amour en Route is already generating buzz ahead of its anticipated debut later this summer.
While the official launch date is still to be announced, Romantique Books hopes to roll out the cart in late June.
L’Amour en Route is more than a cart—it’s a celebration of love, literature, and local community.
