June 23rd, 2019 || My #indiebookshopweek was too successful 😬 I had less time than I intended and only managed to visit four bookshops of all the ones I wanted to go to but oh, well. . My first stop was @blackwellshighholborn and got 🌻On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous by Ocean Vuong🌻 because I keep hearing such amazing things and want to see what all the hype is about. . My second stop was @persephonebooks and I went in knowing that I wanted a Dorothy Whipple novel because I have previously read Someone at a Distance and loved it. There are so many titles available by her but decided to get 🌻They Were Sisters🌻 and see if I love it as much as Someone at a Distance. I also got a gorgeous totebag. . The third bookshop I went to was @gaysthewordbookshop and I just went crazy and got three books but they just had an incredible selection and couldn’t resist. I got: 🌻The Prince and The Dressmaker by Jen Wang which I believe features a gender fluid main character. 🌻On a Sunbeam by Tillie Walden, about a girl who travels to the ends of the universe to find a long lost love. 🌻I Wish You All the Best by Mason Deaver, an ownvoices story about a nonbinary main character whose parents thrown them out. I have already started it and so far, so good. It’s YA. . And my last stop was @lrbbookshop where I got a signed edition (🎉🎉) of Girl, Woman, Other by Bernardine Evaristo, a book that follows 12 characters. The reviews have been great so far, so I have high hopes for it. . And after a hectic day I went to Foyles for a much needed rest and managed to just sit at the cafe and get some reading done before having to go back home. That’s what I call a successful day! 🙌🏼 . What about you? Any good adventures this weekend?🌻 • • • #indiebookshop #bookhaul #stackofbooks #bookstack #iwishyouallthebest #ownvoices #theprinceandthedressmaker #onasunbeam #girlwomanother #yaliterature #graphicnovels #queerreads #onearthwerebrieflygorgeous #theyweresisters #dorothywhipple #modernclassics #bookishfeature #readergram #booksandflowers (en London, United Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/BzDHGg2AlBh/?igshid=1u8848uqj1k8a
