When was the last time you bought books? Mine was several months ago. I'm buying some books this months for my sister, though.

🤓

Here is me at Carturesti Carusel in Bucharest a couple of years back.

Carturesti Carusel

This has to be one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world.

It’s called Carturesti Carusel and it’s in Bucharest, Romania.

It used to belong to the Chrissoveloni banking family until it was nationalized during the communist regime until it was restored and turned into a bookstore in 2015.

It spreads across more than 10,000 square feet with a bistro on the top floor and a multimedia space in the basement.

This place is definitely on my bucket list.

this was a request via comment for a romanian mc! if this was you and you would like your name to be attached to this, please let me know!

enjoy :)

Romanian Mc

Lucifer

he won't admit it to anyone, but he's a fiend for romanian cheese, specifically sheep cheese

alright, maybe he'll tell you since you're the one who provides it for him

it's not uncommon to find him awake late at night, but if you find him in front of the fridge he's either getting his late night chocolates or his late night cheese haha

he'll lighten your chores and everything if you leave some in the fridge for him with his name on it <3

Mammon

he loves the phrase "don’t mess with Romanians because their favorite dish is served during funerals"

he will go around saying that to the people he wants to intimidate with you? you're not really sure what direction he was going with that

if that works or not is determined by whoever he's talking to

the only person it's worked on was luke before you really bonded, and that was quickly debunked once he got to know you haha

Levi

he's almost wary about how quickly you warm up to him despite how closed off he is

i mean, he almost killed you for crying out loud yet you still want to be his friend

once he eventually lets you in, he learns that you are actually just a very sweet, welocoming person

he feels so bad for the whole almost killing you thing after that, and that it was just over TSL

Satan

he's always wanted to go to bucharest

specifically for the carturesti carusel bookshop, it's basically his dream and he wants to live in a place like that

he's always dropping hints that he wants to go and eventually states it outright as an invitation for you to go with him

while you're in the country, he also wants to go visit any family you might have there

Asmo

he loves all the little phrases and idioms you use

his personal favorite has to be "you're selling me doughnuts" or "you're rubbing the mint"

of course he starts picking them up too

before you knew it, everyone else started saying it too since it's asmo and everyone wants to be him!

Beel

he so looks forward to the first of may every year because that means he gets to enjoy a romanian barbeque hosted by you!

his all time favorite is mici

you always have to slap his hand away from the grill to keep him from grabbing them off early

you're not entirety sure if that would hurt him or not, but it's mostly a principle thing haha

Belphie

the first time you made sarmale for the whole house, he was the only one who actually knew how much work you put into make them

he was sitting next to you while you made them, and after watching you roll a few, he eventually asked if you could teach him too!

the two of you spent a while making them together, and while it was obvious who made which ones, the two of you had a great time

and, now he knows how to make sarmale :)

You could call the city of Carturesti a cavern, but it just wouldn't do it justice. True, it is technically a gaping space in the heart of Bucharest, but it carries nothing of the damp darkness which we learned to associate with caverns. Shining white as the provoking pages of a virgin manuscript, the climbing passages across its walls take you along stacks and stacks of books, mottled receptacles of fantasies tiled by the inhabitants to signal each other the mood of the day, a prayer for the ancestors, their hidden love for a personal angel... Every shelf has its colorful code, impossible to decipher for an outsider. You will meet your likes on the winding paths of Carturesti: simple travelers, wide eyed children feeling their way on the brink of trespassing into the world of somebody else's dream, yet kept in this world by mundane plans and petty reasonings. At this hour the elusive locals are reading in the shadows of their secluded dwellings, entrances sealed behind fascinating book shelves, windows covered in colorful artwork because daylight attacks the support paper and then stories would begin to fade - the greatest sacrilege in the city of books. Only at night the stairs start creaking in another language, winds shuffling page after page in enlightened minds, the hearts of the people of Carturesti thumping in the rhythms of their encounters with the worlds of each other. But long after the city gates closed for the night, a lingering pine aroma with hints of grapefruit from your West Coast IPA will remind them of your passing and maybe tomorrow, some book stack will carry a new cover, sunny and rosy and offering the bookshelf inhabitants a fresh cue that our world still has something valuable to offer.
