I went to London and bought some books! Last week I showed you my May break vlog in which I visited London for the day. The aim? To go shopping! What was I after? Books! So I hit up Waterstone’s and Foyle’s and bought 14 books in total. And my local bookstore had a Penguin Classics pop up to celebrate 90 years of Penguin books, so I decided to throw those in too.
Not sure why I bought so many horror/ gothic/ dark/ gloomy books, but it is what I tend to gravitate to most. I ended up buying the remaining books in a series that I was still after AND I got a lot of hopefully other great reads. Can’t wait to get stuck in at some point since I am back on the reading train!
