I visited a big bookshop recently here in Hamburg, Germany and they had an entire wall full of the newest popular greek myth retellings and topic related non fiction books. Your book was right at the center of it and looking gorgeous. I got really excited for you 🥰

I am happy to be reminded that the Rarebirds bookshop is right here in Edinburgh, doing its thing, being awesome, because yesterday a customer at the library I work at was affronted by the fact that every other book in the library was written by a woman, and I've been fuming about it ever since

[WhatVictoriaRead]

It was so lovely to see you yesterday, I had the best time! Glad we could help you take a break and relax ☺️💛

Loved seeing the area. It is so fun to see bookstores in other countries from my own. Also enjoyed watching your girls day.

[ScullyPop]

This is a glorious episode. I love seeing all the book stores over there. I narrate books on my channel.

Thank you for this video of bookshop visit. It is so good to make independent bookshops and libraries being known to more people.

Hope your PhD finishes up in a timely manner and that your stress goes away. Off to sign the petition too because removing departments and education opportunities will never be a good thing. Much love. ❤️

[ReadingNymph]

This was so much fun, having a day to just enjoy yourself when there is so much going on is needed.
I hope things go ok for your PHD and that this madness gets resolved

[samworley]

I LOVE seeing more of Edinburgh it's so fun to watch! Also, so sorry about the stress I hope your university stops being stupid and realizes just how important classics and those who teach/study it are!! Praying for peace for you :)

Absolutely loved this video. Thanks for the tour of Edinburgh, I hope to go someday and this is basically a tour plan ready to go! The witchy shop looked absolutely AMAZING! (And also hello to Lianne and friends, I love seeing you all pop up in each others videos it feels like the best of surprises ❤)

I loved this Vlog Jean !! Thank you so much for taking us along on your day in Edinburgh with your friends. It has been my lifelong dream to visit Scotland, Edinburgh in particular. It's like the whole city and the shops are in full technicolor. Sadly with all that's going on in the world, I don't think my dream of visiting will come true. I'm so happy you took a break from the stress of finishing your PHD and all the politics of the closing of the department at your University..It's really a heartbreaking situation on so many levels. I admire the way you're making everyone aware of the situation. It's so wonderful that you have a group of such supportive friends . I'm in awe of how you've all been there for each other through the stressful situations you've all been experiencing lately. One thing I've learned in my 68 yrs on this planet, is that friends are your "chosen family" Thanks again for your lovely posts of Edinburgh on Instagram and for this Vlog. Sending you good vibes from NYC. ✨✨

Just a casual little clip of you finding and signing your own book in a shop!! amazing.

[apiramie]

What a lovely day, thanks for taking us along!

[FaeryLaume]

Dang, I really want to go back to Edinburgh now!!!! Although I don't think I could be trusted to keep my book purchases light enough to meet carry on bag flight requirements. Alas. I hope you weather the rest of your schooling without adding any more stress. I've seen what it can do to friends up close and personal and it can be intense. Sending you covid free cyber hugs.

[KayBethBookish]

Such a lovely vlog and you're making me even more excited to move to Edinburgh next year! I'll have to ask you to show me around the best places when I get there!

[Chocolatetart]

Really enjoyed this vlog - such lovely people and bookshops! Sorry to hear you are going through a very anxious period. Have signed the petition x

[jenniferdonohoe]

I've signed the petition and ordered a copy of The Mad Women's Ball. I really enjoyed this vlog, I love Edinburgh x

[BookishCoffeeLove]

I’d love to visit Scotland someday, it’s definitely on my bucket list 🌸 I really enjoyed this vlog, seeing all the bookstores fed my soul! I’m so sorry you’re going through this with your uni, I’ve already signed the petition, hope that it’ll be alright in the end 💜 Take care!

[thoroughlyenjoyedbooks]

Ok, now I DEFINITELY need to plan my visit...

Looks like you all had a lovely time!!!
