So…we have a little something different today guys. Something more personal, written by a guest, and something I feel the need to help share.

Did you see my May Wrap Up? There’s uhh...quite a mixed bag of ratings and genres 😂 How many out of this pile have you read? Or better yet - what was your favourite read of May? . Link to my booktube channel in my bio if you fancy seeing my opinions on these! . #bookstagram #maywrapup #readingwrapup #bookish #books #reading #booktube #booktuber #bookblog #bookblogger

4 years ago, I fell in love with a book and discovered my favourite author . On Friday, I visited London and stumbled across The Seven Dials, a large influence behind said book . If I had a bookish bucket list, one would have been ticked off 😭✨🙌🏻 . If you had a bookish bucket list, what would be on it? I don’t know whether this *technically* counts more as bookish or tv show, but I’d love to visit Belfast and go on the Game of Thrones tour! Also to hopefully attend YALC next year. Fingers crossed! #bookstagram #theboneseason #samanthashannon #theboneseasonseries #bookish #bookbucketlist #sevendials #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #reader #favouritebook #reading

• London Bookshops • I don’t have a tonne of photos from the bookshops I visited on Friday as I was trying to vlog too (vlog coming in the next few days!), but my gosh am I happy to have seen so many places I’ve only seen in photos until now. You were right - Foyles is impressive, and I can’t help but smile at the welcome sign! One I was desperate to visit was Gay’s the Word, and I was so so thrilled to find it bustling with people 🏳️‍🌈🙌🏻 I use books as souvenirs, so my souvenir from this trip is The Hand, The Eye and the Heart - bought from Gay’s the Word! We also managed to find The Second Shelf hidden away in a cute li’l courtyard, the inside proving to be a trove of rare books by women. We visited a few other bookshops too, but it’s all captured via video form instead! If you have any recommendations for London bookshops (especially independant ones), please let me know as I’ll be visiting twice more later this year! I’ll be staying for longer, so hopefully I’ll have enough time to do some more bookshop touring. I already want to visit Persephone Books and Words on the Water as I didn’t get chance to this time - so let me know of any others to add to the list! ☺️📚. . #bookstagram #bookish #bookshops #bookshop #londonbookshops #foyles #gaystheword #thesecondshelf #bookworm #reader #reading #thehandtheeyeandtheheart

Yesterday I travelled to London with @beigepages, as we were invited to a snazzy bookish breakfast to celebrate the release of The Wickerlight by Mary Watson!! The event was in the most STUNNING venue (@sketchlondon) and I honestly couldn’t believe my eyes the entire time. It fit the book covers so well, and was just beyond beautiful 😍 The Wren Hunt and The Wickerlight are new favourite fantasy books of mine, and I’m just so so grateful that I had the chance to celebrate along with Mary Watson, the lovely folks and Bloomsbury and so many fellow book bloggers/bookstagrammers. Everybody was so lovely, and it’s not a morning I’ll forget! [group photo taken from Bloomsbury twitter account] . I have so many more book related photos from the trip down to London yesterday as Charlotte and I visited a fair few bookshops, so please bare with me while I go through an insufferable phase of posting ALL THE PHOTOS for a few days 😂🙈 . . #bookstagram #thewrenhunt #thewickerlight #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bookish #reader #reading #books

After reading Daughter of the Forest for #mythtakereads in May, I decided to get the second and third book secondhand and continue the series! The third hasn’t arrived yet, but this second one has and it has me excited all over again 😍 I don’t know when I’ll get round to picking it up since - as I established on my last post - I’m *awful* at continuing series. But at the minute I’m aiming for July (June is full of travelling so this wouldn’t be fab at the mo)...fingers crossed! . Do you binge read series or take a...slower approach, like I do? 😆 . . #bookstagram #bookish #bookblog #bookblogger #booktube #booktuber #bookworm #reader #reading #bookhaul #secondhandbooks #sonoftheshadows #daughteroftheforest #sevenwaters #julietmarillier #fantasy #irishfolklore

So y’know how I’m always saying how bad I am at finishing series? Here’s proof - if I just read these 5 books, I would finish 5 series 🤦🏻‍♀️😂 Hopefully I’ll start making some headway soon - I’m #currentlyreading The Amber Spyglass, and will soon be rereading The City of Brass for #MythTakeReads before moving finally onto The Kingdom of Copper! Fingers crossed that the others will soon follow 🙈 Is anyone else awful at finishing series? I don’t even know why I do it! . . #bookstagram #books #bookseries #kingdomofcopper #vengeful #thewinterofthewitch #theamberspyglass #songofsorrow #daevabadtrilogy #hisdarkmaterials #sachakraborty #veschwab #katherinearden #phillippullman #melindasalisbury #reader #reading #booktube #bookblog #ukbooktuber #ukbookblogger #bookblogger #bookish #tbr #toberead
