I am back with another adventure with Chloe from Forever Fictional!!
This was just a nice chilled day visiting bookstores....and cheeky self promotion, enjoy!
First stop- Waterstones!
Waterstones is such a beautiful store. Also It has a pretty cool Harry Potter area....I want all of it!!!
I never actually planned to buy anything in Waterstones as it can be fairly expensive but....we saw a certain book....and neither one of us are very good at convincing the other not to buy a book....so we got it and we forgave ourselves by making it the December book of the month!
Next with our new books in hand we went to get some good British tea and a sandwich. (Of course the photos are worth risking the tea going cold).
It was nice and relaxing and a very good chance to endlessly talk books without boring other people!!
P.S. Dodie Clark is a very talented YouTuber go check her out- HERE
Next stop- The Works
I always go into this shop having absolutely no idea what I will find.
I am also very good at finding books in there that I didn't particularly plan on buying but since it was there.... I did.
It was actually pretty busy in there so we did some lovely awkward acting to cover up for us weirdly taking photos....don't hire us to be in a performance....
The last actual bookshop we went in was WHSmith.
~Story time~
So, we see this wall of books and think 'perfect background for a photo', so we set the phone up and get in our lovely poses and then we realise the volume is on loud...
I swear this beep echoed so loudly each time the counter went down for the timer...totally didn't seem dodgy at all....nice and subtle....
This was such a random trip to the library but it turned out to be a great place to get bookish photos!! There are all sorts of different chairs and the chalkboard....we conquered it!
We even asked the librarian to take a photo of us with our beautiful promotion...we leave our mark in style!! (They probably got rid of it as soon as we left but...shhhh)
That's it for our adventures...can't push us introverts too much!!
Books I got:
- Secrets For The Mad by Dodie Clark
- Word Play by Gyles Brandreth
Books Chloe got:
- Secrets For The Mad by Dodie Clark
- The Poison Study series by Maria V Snyder
See Chloe's version of the day on her blog HERE (when I add the link) for more photos and stories :-)
Let us know of any more trips you'd like us to do.
Also...let's solve this debate between Chloe and I....when making tea do you add the milk first or last?? Comment your vote below!!!
