Meet Brie

Hi, I’m Brie, a South Jersey book lover, community builder, and the founder of the Spine Breakers Book Club. I also run Booked with Brie, where I support authors and share my love for romance, romantasy, and all things bookish with fellow readers.

When I’m not hosting book events or curled up with my latest read, I’m usually surrounded by my animals, planning my next Disney trip, or playing a cozy video game. I’m passionate about traveling, photography, and I’m always cooking up some kind of craft, creative project, or fun activity. I also volunteer as a Girl Scout leader, empowering young girls through confidence, curiosity, and community.

Meet Irene

I’m a single mama to a 4 year old boy and he is my angel. When I’m not being a mama, I’m either at school full time or reading a good romance! I just started getting back into reading two/three years ago and have read over 200 books. I love dancing Latin or Greek! And spending time with my best friends brings me immense joy!

Meet Gracie

Hi I'm Gracie!

My life is a story with three acts. By day, I'm Gracie, the manager of Romantasy, where I guide readers through enchanted stacks and help them find their next great escape. By appointment, I'm a professional princess, turning childhood wonder into tangible reality. And by night, I transform under the stage lights, becoming a showgirl where the only thing more dazzling than the rhinestones is the energy of the crowd. For me, magic isn't just in books—it's a lifestyle I live from sunrise to starlight.

Meet Alex

Hi I'm Alex

When I'm not managing the magical chaos of Romantasy Book Store and Fantasy Gifts, I'm doing what I love. Performance art! I run the sexy game night here in Turnersville and you might catch me doing a bit of drag as Norah Morse!

Meet the Owner!

Hi I'm Dee, I've been the owner of Fantasy Gifts for the last 25 years and I had the most wonderful idea to combine my two passions into South Jerseys newest and cutest Romantasy Book Store! I've got a dog and a cat who love to curl up with me during my reading time. I'm always on the go and traveling so you'll always find a kindle tucked into my carry on!
