Located near Hwy. 290 and Spring Cypress Road, X&O Books will feature a combination of mainstream romance titles as well as local and Texas-based indie authors, French said. The bookstore’s main genres of focus will include contemporary, Western and "romantasy"—a popular blend of romance and fantasy storytelling.
Additionally, French said customers will be able to shop from a “713 shelf” with local spotlights and a shelf of recommendations from her husband, or Mr. X&O, as she calls him.
