Stayed around the corner from Gay's the Word a few months back, and you literally visited every book shop we did during our stay... Some great shops still about.

@user-qu8zs7vs1x 2 года назад

I really appreciated that both you and Rowan kept your masks on, especially when inside. We stan a responsible booktuber! Can't say the same about your other friend. I know masks are not mandatory outdoors in the UK, but at least indoors?! Anyway, I really enjoyed the bookish content. Stay safe :)

@thatgirlnickyy 2 года назад

yeah i noticed that as well, it made me happy to see them happily wearing their masks. shops that are outdoors but slightly indoors is always a questionable place where half of the people aren't wearing masks, so I was glad to see him and rowan have them on :)

@Amyduckie 2 года назад

This is something I noted as well. I’m hoping there was a good reason, but it didn’t look good.

OMG I read Bestiary earlier this year. I had never heard anything about it, saw it in the bookstore, and the synopsis had me hooked. And it was AMAZINGGG!!! The way fables were incorporated into the story was so stunning!!!

@Eva-me2ik 2 года назад

This managed to fill me with so many emotions. Watching this was so soothing, you seemed to have such a great time (love that for you!). I also managed to feel overwhelmed by all the things (the life of an introvert is exhausting) but I also felt nostalgia bc I miss London that I find both great and terrifying. I've been there only a couple of times and everytime beeing there I feel like I'm barely touching the surface of this place and I want to explore but I don't want to at the same time. All the emotions haha anyway I'm so glad you had a great time :)

@fictionalfates 2 года назад

🥺I'm so glad that I was able to provide some nostalgic feelings to you! and I definitely feel you on only scratching the surface of London every time you visit

Wow this makes me so jealous, I really wanna go to London, or bookshopping in general! Sadly our local bookstore is very tiny and their selection isn't great. They don't have young adult, and they only had three fantasy books last time I was there, so it's not really that fun to browse through the shop. Anyways I am saving this video for my next trip to London (hopefully in 2022) and I'm just gonna watch some more bookshopping videos to give me the atmosphere of browsing through the shop myself 🥺💕
