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.
The end of the school year is approaching quickly in Bethesda, Rockville, Potomac and throughout Montgomery County.
Astro Jump of Metro DC is ready to help schools and parents celebrate the occasion with water slide and moon bounce rental packages for end of school year celebrations. Moon bounces, water slides and other inflatable rentals make all events better–regardless of whether it’s a graduation party, official school festival, or just parents helping their kids celebrate the end of a school year with a backyard moon bounce party.
