"He looked at me as if I gave him the whole world, who knows perhaps I'm his own whole world and letting him into my own personal little bubble of books made him as happy as I am to let him in."

"Whenever you read you go somewhere forgetting about the reality, so at least nourish yourself for your new journey" were the words he said while bringing me a cup of coffee and some deserts. He's too good for me!

Visited my favorite bookshop in town. The hallways go on forever and the books are as old as time itself. {mine}

Found this old literature book that seems to be from 1821. Some pages were torn and it might’ve gone through a fire. It was also being sold for $140...lol {mine}

Purchased this British literature book and was thrilled to see that someone had written their name and annotations inside. I did some research on this Emma Hickstein and learned that she was born in November of 1879 and her father was from Prussia and her mother from Germany (so technically they’re both from Germany). She lived in Black Earth, Wisconsin and had many siblings. That’s all I was able to gather as more information about her was kept private. How fascinating it is to have held this book that belonged to someone from a completely different time. Makes you wonder how it ended up in a bookshop. {Mine}

Went out of town with my boyfriend and had a lovely day drinking coffee and browsing the bookstore✨ (Of course I had to take some home) {mine}
Some books I purchased from my favorite bookstore. The yellow book is about Middle English literature and the brown is a book on anthropology :) Currently reading A Winter in Arabia and I like it so far! {mine}

I finished Six of Crows by Leigh Bardugo at one this morning, and wow, what a ride. That money was well spent. I will have to bide my time before I can go raid another bookstore.
BOOKS !!!!
I don't care what everyone else thinks. In my opinion buying a new book from the bookstore is the best f***ing feeling in the whole world.
