"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
Book Display Appreciation post 📚 I love walking round bookshops looking at the colourful displays (and wishing I could buy everything). There's loads I want to read on this table! Especially The Gendered Brain 📚 Currently on my way to Windsor, have had a great two days in London so far, and have many pretty photos (99% of which are of giraffes...). 📚 #books #bookshop #bookdisplay #bookstagram #bookstagrammer #booksofinstagram #bookish #booklover #bibliophile #becauseofbooks #spinebenders #booknerd #bookworm #instabook #reader #readersofinstagram #london #nofilter
