Wanderlust Mobile bookstore
WanderLust Mobile Bookstore is a romance-only, women-owned indie bookstore on wheels serving all lovers of love in Madison, WI!
Our mission is to bring inclusive, joyful, and love-filled stories directly to the community. We center on romance novels—a genre too often dismissed as frivolous or less worthy—because we believe stories about love, pleasure, identity, and empowerment matter deeply.
By curating diverse titles and creating a space where everyone can see themselves reflected in the pages, we’re challenging stigma and celebrating the power of storytelling. As part of our commitment to community care, we also offer books that support sexual health and wellness. We love to connect with and feature local authors where we can.
This isn’t just a bookstore on wheels—it’s a mobile movement for connection, visibility, and unapologetic joy. You can find our upcoming schedule on our website or socials, and please get in touch if you have a suggestion of where you'd like to see us pop up!

Thirst Bookstore
Thirst Books is independent, woman-owned, LGBTQIA+ affirming, and Milwaukee's first brick-and-mortar romance bookstore.
Whether it's romantasy, cozy romance, contemporary romance, cowboys and westerns, and even monster romance—we've curated our bookshelves to promote inclusivity with respect to race, sexual orientation, gender identity, body shape and ability, as well as neuro-divergencies as equally deserving of love.
As Wisconsin's first romance storefront, we believe Romance is for Everyone. We all deserve to be the main character for romance.
We love love!
