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
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 :)
@@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.
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!!
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
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!!!
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
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!
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!!
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!
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 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
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!
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.
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 🥺💕
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
There's a bookshop in Leeds called The Bookish Type which is very similar to Gay's The Word and I love going in there. They have so many queer books and it's such a welcoming place. I'd recommend it if anyone is ever near Leeds
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.
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!!💜💜
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
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)
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.

This is something I noted as well. I’m hoping there was a good reason, but it didn’t look good.

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 🥺
I've read about booksellers on boats, but didn't realize it was an actual thing. Your friend Rowan, is so cute.
This vlog is such a vibe!! It looks like y'all had a lot of fun!

Foyles is one of my all time favorite bookstores! When my husband and I first met, it was our regular date spot 🧡
All the book stores were just so cute
this vlog makes me smile so much, i feel the love and warmth of friendship so clearly!! and it was edited beautifully as well

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!
not me watching all your videos this week and just now realizing you live in Wales. I love Wales, it’s so beautiful🤩
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!
"hey besties" wakes me in the best mood :)

Also I very much want to go to Gay’s the Word now ❤️

lsadjkff i'm sorry!
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!

Omg I'm adding it to my list!
This is too goooood
These are all so cool!
Loved She Who Became The Sun. You looked like you had fun.

What is a genre that u love the most? And what is one that u don't read but want to give it a try
Wow books on the boat i love it.
*shows us the cute warning sign above doorway*
*proceeds to bump head while going through*
SAKJLDKAJ literally the irony
13:50 you should’ve thrown a book at them to get their attention😂
I love your videos, I always shop at Barnes and noble, here in USA
The UK cover of Beastiary is so much more gorgeous than the US/Can cover omg
Love your channel!!
;) so cool i wish i had such cool bookstores. ....
