#174: Open Door Romance with Kassie King and Stephanie Skees

It is no secret that I LOVE the Novel Neighbor. I love the community and the people and the events. I am thrilled to get to introduce you to Kassie King and Stephanie Skees as they work on the newest piece of the Novel Neighborhood, Open Door Romance in the Next Door Space. This romance bookstore is going to level up the community for readers in the St Louis area. Kassie and Skees share all the behind the scenes in opening Open Door, how we can help and then spill the tea on the books they can’t stop talking about.

So tell me, What is your favorite bookstore?
