Calling all romance readers, smut enthusiasts, and lovers of a good happily-ever-after.
Join us at Nomad Used Books for a special edition of our Adult Book Report — this time dedicated entirely to romance novels and spicy reads as part of our Thruster Thursday series.
Bring a romance book you’ve already read and be ready to give a 5-minute, spoiler-free pitch explaining why someone else should read it.
Think of it as a book report… but for adults, with a lot more drama, swooning, and questionable life choices by fictional characters.

📖 How It Works
1️⃣ Bring a romance book you’ve already read
2️⃣ Give a 5-minute spoiler-free summary
3️⃣ Convince everyone why they should read it
Once everyone has shared their book, we’ll wrap up the night with our Secret-Santa-style book swap.
We’ll draw numbers to determine the order for picking books.
You can either choose a new book… or steal one that someone else already picked.
By the end of the night, everyone walks away with a new romance read.

✨ What’s Included
🥨 Light snacks & beverages
📚 Participation in the book swap
👋 Meeting fellow romance readers and book lovers
🛍 Bonus:
All attendees receive 25% off their entire purchase at Nomad Used Books that evening.

🎟 Tickets
$20 per person
Venmo @NomadNola with “name - 326 TT” to reserve your spot.
Seats are limited, so we recommend grabbing your spot early.

📚 What to Bring
• A romance book you’ve already read
• A 5-minute spoiler-free pitch
• Your favorite trope, spice level, or guilty pleasure read

Come for the romance.
Stay for the drama.
