Last week when we were in London for the Women’s Prize, Mum and I went on a bookshop crawl in the East End. So I thought I would vlog it… sort of. Here you get a mix of that vlog of the bookshops, my haul and then another haul from a bookshop closer to me! Can you guess which one? I hope you enjoy this slightly hotch potch video - apt for Indie Bookshop Week. Let me know what bookshops you’re planning to go to and what books you’ve got on your purchasing periphery… or if you’ve been to one recently, which one did you go to and which book or books did you buy? #Bookshopping #BookTube #Vlog #Haul #BookHaul

I’m in a dither since both you and Louise posted at the same time today. It’s all too much excitement for me. I shall retire now to my fainting chaise.😆

Hahahaha. Double the Savidge delight. I meant to post this on Tuesday but my editing time is soooooo poor at the moment. Bring on July and a quiet month.

Ooh Oxford book shopping & Grace Jones 🤗

@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын

Didn't get much content in Oxford, gave myself a break lol. Grace Jones was amazing.

@TanyaWestley Ай бұрын

I would really recommend checking out Caper when you are in Oxford, they are a relatively new independant bookshop and I just love it in there. It's a little out of the city centre on Magdalen Rd just off Iffley road. Gutted I can't make the event tomorrow at Daunt as it sounds super interesting!

“The Wickerman meets Rebecca…” OOOOOHHHH, if that’s true it could be a new favorite for me! I have never heard of the book, thanks so much for the intro.

I hadn’t heard of it either but that quote had me at hello!

Amazingly although I make a point to visit several bookshops whenever I am in London I have never been to any of those three (however I have read Monica Ali’s novel). What fun! And what a great haul. One day I must get to the West Kirby Book Shop!

The Milkman's On His Way! Oh, I remember buying that in John Menzies maaaaany moons ago when I was a closeted teen. Hyperventilating walking to the till thinking my secret would be discovered.

I had that with a few books back in the day, shows that things have come forward a lot which is good... and something we need to be reminded of now and again when the world is looking glum.

I purchased The In-Between by Christos Tsiolkas (having seen it first via your video ☺️) I haven’t read another of CT’s since The Slap - a long time ago 😬 (really enjoyed it).

@susprime7018 Ай бұрын

Thanks, that was fun, sadly, no independent bookshops near me, only chain bookstores. There is an antique shop that has some old books, maybe I'll venture there, they had a lesser known Forester there from the thirties, but rough shape, so I did not buy it and it was a first American, so not the one a future collector would want. My husband is reading The Fourth Part of the World by Toby Lester, which I read several years ago and bought the hardback because the cover and jacket is so beautiful. I told him to be careful, as I will be keeping it. He gets a warning because he dropped one of my books while reading in the tub years ago.😂

@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын

You know if there isn’t an indie near you… I would say why not start one 😉 That’s a dream of mine one day. I only read proofs or paperbacks in the bath. I’ve learnt my lessons. Lol.

@susprime7018 Ай бұрын

@SavidgeReads Too old for that, I'm enjoying John Dunning's Bookman's Promise, the last Cliff Janeway novel, about buying a Burton collection, amongst other things. I wish I had been able to visit their shop when they had one, may he rest in peace. Plus, I can't spell, Forster, I must have been thinking about Sean Connery's Forester movie. I'll go to the antique shop and do some scouting in Dunning's memory.

Good to accompany you & ‘the artist formerly known as your mother’ 😘 to the bookshops !! I like the sound of But the Girl (hope that’s the right title 😬) As you mentioned Anne Enright, I have to say - wasn’t she a fabulous presence at the WP ‘live shortlisted readings’ event? I’ve got a copy of The Gathering which I want to get to soon (stupidly 🙄 I forgot to take it with me to the above mentioned event to get AE’s signature); plus I’ve Megan Nolan’s Ordinary Human Failings on library loan to read AND (!!) I want to read another by Claire Kilroy ☺️📚

@SavidgeReads Ай бұрын

Anne's introduction to the book, reading from it and interview were fabulous at the shortlist event, she was hilarious. I will not be reading anymore Claire Kilroy, what she said about single parents and same sex parents at the shortlist readings were awful, Mum and I were fuming. I had the pleasure of meeting Megan Nolan last week at the Encore Awards and she was wonderful!
