come book shopping in edinburgh with me (+ mini haul)

[frncscrwfrd]

Buying books and reading books are two very different hobbies and I’m addicted to both

[sarsaranov]

When I saw the title, I automatically knew that I would want to go book shopping in Edinburgh even though I'm broke af and lives a whole ocean away from it.

A friend and I did a “bookshop crawl” like a pub crawl but better for your liver. We went to bath and hit about 7 bookshops including a topping and Co bookshop! Would totally recommend. We bought one book in each shop and went to the Jane Austen and Mary Shelley museums. It was amazing. Would totally recommend.

An all-female authors bookshop sounds so cool! Definitely want to visit one day

As much as I adore London, but there’s something about Edinburgh which really makes me happy and it feels cozier as a city. Edinburgh must have the most fun book shops.

As someone who practically lives in Edinburgh's bookshops, this made me very happy.

As an undergrad translator it makes me really happy that you credit the book‘s translator by naming them☺️

Typewronger Books 😍 Never thought I'd see that in your videos! I visited Edinburgh 3 years ago and still think about that book store 😅 They really were so nice!! They made little origami figures out of old book pages and just gave them to us as an extra, and they put their store's stamp into the books I bought so I'll never forget where I got them. And they offered tea 😭😭 Loveliest experience ever!
Edit: whoops, watched the rest of your video and how gorgeous that they still do that 😁😁 I still use their bookmark as well! Ugh, any reader will enjoy Edinburgh so much ❤

Rare Bird Books sounds like such a fun Store. The lack of female authors in academia is shocking. Schools can do way better.

Your face for some reason gives comfort 🚶✨ thank for being there

[cosmic.elixir]

i wish i could go to a bookshop in Edinburgh rn-
it's the 5 stages of grief for missing out on buying and seeing books you're causing Jack Edwards

[vasilikip]

You should definitely read Agatha Christie's books! I and my mom love them! Greetings from Greece🥰

[malakqubaisi]

Jackkkk you have to read a thousand splendid suns and my dark vanessa. Both stories are so chilling and brilliant, beyond a 5 star read.
ps absolutely love love love all your book content 😍

[samanthagamgee]

So glad you managed book shopping while in Edinburgh, it really is the best city for book lovers 😻 but also so sad you missed Golden Hare Books when it's so close to Rare Birds. It's truly wonderful, do go when you're next in town!!

[ylenaandries]

earthlings definitely changed my life, i feel so blessed to have been able to read something that played so much with my mind i still think about it loads even 2 months after having read the book. Excited to see what you think of it!

(sorry for my poor english!)

[narakuwomita]

oh you’re in for a wild ride with Earthlings! I also got it after reading and loving Convenience Store Woman but the last part of the book was quite shocking/disturbing

I have lived in Edinburgh for 6 years now - every time I leave and come home I am reminded just how special it is :)

[HandbagFanatic]

Rare Birds have a monthly subscription service too where you pick Book A or Book B based on a mystery blurb. I did it for a few months and discovered a few really amazing books - would definitely recommend it!!

Every time I visit Edinburgh, I get that same feeling you talked about, the feeling that I need to someday call that city home! There’s something just so enchanting and comforting about that place.
