Pleasure Reading at Drake's Dealership

We're Pleasure Reading, a pop-up romance bookstore based out of Alameda. Come join us at Drake's Dealership on September 5!
About this Event

We're a small shop but proud of our thoughtfully curated book selection, which includes fantasy romance, historical romance and contemporary romance, with strong queer representation. We have graphic novels, young adult romances, and we also carry cards, bookmarks, stickers, and more.

Drake's Dealership is a beer garden located at the junction of Oakland's Uptown, auto row and KONO neighborhoods, serving pizza, burgers, sandwiches and salads with plenty of indoor and outdoor seating. There are many nearby amenities including Humphry Slocombe ice cream! Drake's Dealership is about a ten minute walk from the 19th St BART station, and the 51A, 6 and 12 bus lines have stops nearby. Street parking is available but may be competitive.

Pleasure Reading was founded by Caroline and Steve, two star-crossed business partners who dreamed of opening a romance bookstore, then got to work and made it happen. We are passionate about what we do and we are so excited to meet our local community of romance readers!
