Bookstagram: @bookishjade

Even though I work at Oxfam (@oxfambm) on Saturday mornings, I'm usually too into what I'm doing to actually look around for stuff. But today I did and found these two! I've only read one book by David Sedaris before, on the back of a recommendation by @finallyimkath and I found him really funny. Plus, this is a really pretty edition. And I've never found a Studio Ghibli in a charity shop before, so I feel lucky to have found this. Plus it's one I've never seen before. Guess what my afternoon plans are? 😆😍 #books #bookgram #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookish #booklover #booknerd #davidsedaris #letsexplorediabeteswithowls #studioghibli #laputacastleinthesky #hayaomiyazaki #bookstagrammer #bibliophile #reader #readersofinstagram #foundinoxfam
"The main thing in life is to know your own mind." -- Snufkin (Moominsummer Madness) 📚 When I was wandering in Camden I found the Moomin Shop (which I didn't even know existed!). Confession: I've never read any of the Moomin books or watched any of the animations or anything. BUT I do volunteer at Oxfam, which sells a couple of the books, cards and other Moomin items. Seeing these has made me curious for a while, and so I picked up a bookmark with the above quote. I LOVE the quote, and now I want to read the books. Any Moomin fans out there want to provide further encouragement?? 📚 #moomin #moominshop #camden #london #tovejansson #books #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #bookish #booknerd #booklover #bibliophile #bookworm #becauseofbooks #booksarelife #booksofinstagram #reader #readersofinstagram
Right next to our hotel is this wonderful little bookshop @hurlinghambooks 📚 it's packed full, floor to ceiling, with all sorts of books. Yesterday when I paid a visit I was surrounded from all angles, and could happily have sat in a corner with any of the books there. If you're ever at Putney Bridge go and check it out. All the books outside are £1! 📚 #hurlinghambooks #bookshop #londonbookshops #london #putneybridge #bookish #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #instabooks #spinebenders #becauseofbooks #reader #readersofinstagram #bookgram #igreads
Three favourite things here: books, the colour orange, and Jon Ronson. Whenever I see orange Penguin spines I can't resist going over to them, they're so beautiful 🐧📚 #books #shelfie #bookshelf #bookstagram #booksofinstagram #bookish #booknerd #bookworm #booklover #bibliophile #booksofinstagram #instabooks #reader #readersofinstagram #igreads #spinebenders #penguinbooks
