The fact that there’s a bookstore called Gay’s The Word, I LOVE IT 🥺💕
it's SO AWESOME inside!
@@fictionalfates and they film there the movie pride
This has to be THE ultimate book shopping video. That first store seemed a bit overwhelming but in a good way
I would Love to see a collab with you and Jack, such fun
Aww thank you so much! and maybe one day jack and i will collab 👀
London has some really cool bookshops 🥺 I’m actually obsessed
they really do! and i didn't even get to explore all of them
This has to be the first time I have ever seen a bookstore on a ship. It really feels that it adds to the wonder of looking for reading material hidden in the sea.
I really appreciated that both you and Rowan kept your masks on, especially when inside. We stan a responsible booktuber! Can't say the same about your other friend. I know masks are not mandatory outdoors in the UK, but at least indoors?! Anyway, I really enjoyed the bookish content. Stay safe :)
yeah i noticed that as well, it made me happy to see them happily wearing their masks. shops that are outdoors but slightly indoors is always a questionable place where half of the people aren't wearing masks, so I was glad to see him and rowan have them on :)
This is something I noted as well. I’m hoping there was a good reason, but it didn’t look good.
@@thatgirlnickyy yep, but especially on the boat! Also, if one removes his mask while alone in the elevator, his germs will still be there for the next person who enters the elevator
Stayed around the corner from Gay's the Word a few months back, and you literally visited every book shop we did during our stay... Some great shops still about.
the bookshop on the boat is the coolest thing ever omg
so many bookshops!! I'm so jealous looks like an amazing day :))
This video brings us so much joy!!!!
I would buy the entire “gay’s the word” store if I had the money
Buy the store. The store is now your home.
Yes omg, then we can have sleepovers in the store
@@fictionalfates @haleymist09 please!! that’d be our kingdom 😂
Same lmao
I might just be the editing, but this is the life I want to live😩🥰
skljfslkjdhdlfj thank you 🥺
This vlog is such a vibe!! It looks like y'all had a lot of fun!
we had the best time!!
This was such a calming and atmospheric vlog!!!
thank you bestie 🥺
I've read about booksellers on boats, but didn't realize it was an actual thing. Your friend Rowan, is so cute.
This is the coziest book shopping vlog I've ever watched. I love every bookstore and every place where you guys ate. Like these places filled my heart with so much joy, and I'm so happy you shared that with us. I'm super envious!!
this was so nice and calming and wholesome to watch !! 🥺 thank you for the great content as always !
Okay, I literally would have bought the entire bookstore if I would have gone to "Gay's the Word"! Like seriously! That shop is amazing! And yes, to "The Song of Achilles" in the shelf!! Gosh, I love this book so much!
not me watching all your videos this week and just now realizing you live in Wales. I love Wales, it’s so beautiful🤩
I just discovered your channel and I’m loving it!!! Loveee your videos 💗
I have never been out of the States before.. but I need to see these book shops! 😍
Hopefully you'll get to see them one day!
All the book stores were just so cute
your bi pin and the bookstore from the movie pride made me so emo 🤧💐
This was SO satisfying 😱😱😱 ALL THOSE BOOKS i need tazmyn to take me to these places immediately
YES! Get Tazmyn to take you there!
I'm living vicariously thru your videos! For someone who cannot go out, this is what my soul needs! Thank you! Stay safe xo
when i’m an adult and I have enough money, I’ll definitely go to London and to the bookshops IMMEDIATELY and I loved the bookstore: Gay’s The Word I’d want to visit it
THAT DOG!!! what a sweetheart 🥺💖 this was such a fun and cathartic vlog, thank you!
I was up in London last month and in Camden, gutted I missed that cocktail place! Definitely going back.
This has inspired me to do my own London Book crawl! The boat bookshop was adorable too.
Looked like you had a lovely time, thanks for taking us along in the vlog
Foyles is one of my all time favorite bookstores! When my husband and I first met, it was our regular date spot 🧡
This managed to fill me with so many emotions. Watching this was so soothing, you seemed to have such a great time (love that for you!). I also managed to feel overwhelmed by all the things (the life of an introvert is exhausting) but I also felt nostalgia bc I miss London that I find both great and terrifying. I've been there only a couple of times and everytime beeing there I feel like I'm barely touching the surface of this place and I want to explore but I don't want to at the same time. All the emotions haha anyway I'm so glad you had a great time :)
🥺I'm so glad that I was able to provide some nostalgic feelings to you! and I definitely feel you on only scratching the surface of London every time you visit
OMG I read Bestiary earlier this year. I had never heard anything about it, saw it in the bookstore, and the synopsis had me hooked. And it was AMAZINGGG!!! The way fables were incorporated into the story was so stunning!!!
The way your tour of London is literally the EXACT same as mine when I go 🖤✨ I miss it so much
"hey besties" wakes me in the best mood :)
Oh my goodness, what a beautiful vlog! makes me homesick for a place I've never been 💗 love to see some of my favorite RUclipsrs frolicking together in the open air at last!
this vlog makes me smile so much, i feel the love and warmth of friendship so clearly!! and it was edited beautifully as well
The bookstore name is my everything ❤️
This was so comfy and it was nice to live vicariously through you visiting London!!
Ahh I'm glad!!
I missed watching your videos so much. I am so happy to be back. Omg She Who Became The Sun sounds so so good!! I can’t wait to get my hand on it whenever I can. Mulan in book form yes please!!
Im in love with this video!! Thank you so much for uploading this, I’m definitely gonna visit all of these places when I’m in London :,)))
I'M SO EXCITED TO GO TO LONDON THIS YEAR! 🥹
One of my favourite bookshop vlog. Moved out of London to Norfolk but this is the one thing I miss. May have to follow your visits. I also have Jamaican roots so will have to try that cocktail. Xx
This was such a calming, lovely vlog.
Really enjoyed this!! We are off to London in September and had a lot of these places already on my list to visit and so now I am even more excited!
Now I know that I shouldn’t go to London without saving a lot of money beforehand. These shops would have me broke in a day 😂 amazing vlog! ✨
Such quirky little book shops, I love it ❤
OMG!! You are literally my favourite person ever...and now I find out that you're a fellow jamaican? Sending love from Jamaica 🇯🇲❤❤😭😭
i was literally at juddbooks on monday! i love it so much!
Ok, you’ve just shown me some bookshops I NEED to go and find. I had no idea these book shops existed in London. 😍 that bookshop on the boat looked AMAZING!
I loved the bookshop on the boat.
I love everything about this video! Amazing vibes!! I was hoping you would do a book haul at the end and you did not disappoint!
this video is just so perfect omg and the editing is top tier amazing
Your sense of adventure is spectacular!
Thank you!!
I didn’t think there would be any store that could top Gay’s the Word but then there was *bookshops on boats*????? Are you kidding me??? Incredible. 🥰
Also I very much want to go to Gay’s the Word now ❤️
Really enjoyed this video. Thanks for filming it
Allyvee brought me here and I'm forever grateful. This video made me so happy :).
Wow this makes me so jealous, I really wanna go to London, or bookshopping in general! Sadly our local bookstore is very tiny and their selection isn't great. They don't have young adult, and they only had three fantasy books last time I was there, so it's not really that fun to browse through the shop.
Anyways I am saving this video for my next trip to London (hopefully in 2022) and I'm just gonna watch some more bookshopping videos to give me the atmosphere of browsing through the shop myself 🥺💕
Loved this! My fave UK bookshop is Blackwell's in Oxford 💛
Such a great vlog!! I enjoyed every minute of it!!!!!!
I wanted to do a London book shopping trip, thank you this vlog has given me loads of ideas about where to go
i was so excited to see this vlog ever since i watched your ig stories a couple of weeks ago, loved this sm
eee thank you so much!!
Omg you went to So. Many. Places! I just visited my local city and hit up 3 record stores and ate out once and was like welp, I'm headed home, lol. Y'all are tough. Love this vlog, looks like an amazing day.
Last time I was in London I was too low on funds to buy everything I wanted and I was GUTTED. Great to see it again and all those great places to visit next time.
God, hun! I love this video to bits🌸. This reminds me so much of my own trip to London last year; rip, want to go back right now.🥺 Seeing you visit a lot of the same places I went just brought so many happy memories back to me. I love, love, absolutely love this video!!💜💜
Thank you so much!! 🥺
Thank you for this, Joel. Love from Malaysia 👋🇲🇾
There are so many amazing bookshops in London!
I love vlogs like this!
Great music selections. This entire video is moodt.

I miss London so much

akdkskdkck i feel the exact same
I love this video so much,makes me want to take a trip to London.
*shows us the cute warning sign above doorway*
*proceeds to bump head while going through*
SAKJLDKAJ literally the irony
my best friend's exorcism is pretty good imo and worth reading! in terms of Grady Hendrix's books I preferred the southern book club's guide to slaying vampires though
This makes me want to go back to London asap 🥺 It has been 12 years since I've been there woah
There's Houseman's bookshop in King's Cross . This vlog was very satisfying to watch.
oooh, adding it to my list! thank you 🥺
I'd love to watch a Cardiff edition!!!
Ahhh lovely!
I’ve been to all those bookstores except for the first one! I need to get back to London asap to just go browsing books for hours again 🥺
That is such a mood 🥺
Love this vlog! Looks like yall had an amazing time!
Awesome video! I love book shopping videos in other countries and states!

Bestiary looks amazing! I really look forward to your review of that one!
I really enjoyed hani and ishu guide to fake dating great book 🥰😁
I really need to get the lights of Prague soon
I really enjoyed she who became the sun hope you enjoy it
UGHH don’t feed my urge to buy more stuff LMAOOOOO

lsadjkff i'm sorry!
Great vlog! Such lovely vibes. Also good luck with starting your Masters, I'm in the last couple of weeks of mine!
Thank you so much!
The UK cover of Beastiary is so much more gorgeous than the US/Can cover omg
;) so cool i wish i had such cool bookstores. ....
omg i need a map of every place you all went, because i want to visit all of them ;___; i really hope when covid calms down I can travel to the UK!
this vid was honestly THE vibe i desperately need this in my life (and some new books)
I'm glad I could provide the vibe!!
These are all so cool!
Ever since reading about 'Gays the Word' and watching the amazing movie called 'Pride', i have always wanted to visit 🥰
It’s such a nice vibe there!!!
I like Rowan. She’s fun and so intelligent.
Loved She Who Became The Sun. You looked like you had fun.
I had SO MUCH FUN!
Wow books on the boat i love it.
Such a fun day you guys had!
I love Gay's the Word 🥰
It's so wonderful there!
Loved the vlog I would love to see you and Jack swap books or something I feel like you guys read pretty differently
I’m adding all of these books to my reading list, thanks for sharing! 💫 Keep rising to be who you want to be! 💫 #keeprising #risingtobe #aswerise #riser
This is too goooood
Such a fun journey with you! and you are right there are even more to see :-))
I’m so excited to explore all the bookstores london has to offer!
I love your friends as well as you.
Next time you’re in London you should go to the gower st. Waterstones. Its huge and the building is gorgeous! (Apparently its europe’s largest new and second hand bookstore)
Omg I'm adding it to my list!
I miss forbidden planet haven't been there in so long, lovely vlog.
Am I doing hours of college work orrrrr am I having a cute little day downtown with the besties?. My brain will never know 🥰💅🏻
