Hello Darling Books & Beyond is a romance genre indie bookshop built on community, connection, and a whole lot of heart. We’re thrilled to be returning for the 2026 season at the McHenry Riverwalk Shoppes, bringing you romance reads, bookish gifts, and unforgettable experiences all year long.

You’ll also find us popping up around the area at local events, ladies’ nights, markets, and collaborations with some of our favorite small businesses. Join us for book clubs, creative workshops, and special events—or shop with us anytime online through Bookshop.org for physical books and Libro.fm for audiobooks that support indie bookstores (Be sure you’re supporting Hello Darling).

Whether you’re browsing in person, crafting with friends, or adding to your TBR from home—there’s always a place for you at Hello Darling!
