Love Books is an independent bookshop located in Melville, Johannesburg. It was founded in 2009 by Jaci Jenkins and Kate Rogan.[2][3][1] The business offers works by local authors, and hosts book launches as well as sponsored literary discussions.[4][5][6] It also often works in collaboration with neighbouring coffee shops to spotlight new authors and their works.[7] Love Books was founded with the aim of countering elitism in the literary sphere by establishing an accessible and egalitarian environment.[citation needed] It was awarded 'Best Independent Bookseller' at the Sefika Publishers Awards in 2019.[8][9]
