The bookstore will carry books across genres, from romance, mysteries, fantasy, and science fiction to cookbooks, self-help, philosophy, graphic novels, and children’s titles.
Coronado said romance will make up a meaningful part of the opening inventory because of the genre’s recent resurgence.
She expects the selection to evolve as readers make requests and show her what they want to buy.
Beyond books, Reverie Room will have candles, greeting cards, stationery, stickers, bookmarks, stuffed animals, squishies, and other gift items.
Coronado is also open to eventually selling physical media like vinyl, CDs, and DVDs if customers show interest.
A large U-shaped bar anchors the bookstore’s main lobby, where Coronado plans to serve drinks and light snacks.
Reverie Room will initially open without its beer and wine license, serving sodas and other nonalcoholic drinks, including options for children. Once the license is approved, Coronado plans to add wine and local craft beer.
She is also considering prepackaged snacks such as chips and olives, with the possibility of expanding the food offerings later.
