Meet the Heart Behind Hearts & Hardcovers

Hi, I’m ShayAnn — a romance reader, new mom, and the founder of Hearts & Hardcovers!

This little corner of the internet was born from a dream: to create a cozy, joyful space where readers like me can celebrate their love of books in the most fun, stylish way possible. What started as a late-night idea (fueled by book boyfriends and sleepless baby snuggles) has grown into something so much more — a bookish lifestyle brand built on passion, purpose, and a lot of heart.

Right now, Hearts & Hardcovers is your go-to shop for playful, romance-inspired merchandise — think: cheeky tote bags, swoon-worthy shirts, bookish mugs, and stickers that speak your literary love language. And we’re just getting started.

I also create content on Instagram and TikTok (@heartsandhardcoversswfl), where I share:

• Book recommendations
• Honest, cozy reviews
• Relatable skits and reels
• And of course, I’m always repping our merch while doing it!

But the biggest chapter is still to come. I’m currently working toward launching a mobile bookstore right here in Southwest Florida — a traveling book haven filled with romance reads, community events, and all the cozy vibes. I can’t wait to bring Hearts & Hardcovers to a street, park, or pop-up near you!

Until then, thank you for supporting my small business and helping bring this dream to life. Whether you found me through a funny reel, a sticker that made you smile, or a shared love of romance novels — I’m so happy you’re here.

Love & paperbacks,

ShayAnn 💌
