Hello my lovely darlings,

I just had to share - I had the most magical weekend! I went on a little solo adventure to the countryside and stumbled upon the cosiest little bookstore tucked away in this charming small town. The smell of old books, the creaky wooden floors... absolute heaven! 📚 I may have come home with a few (okay, several 🤭) new books. Who else can't resist a good bookstore? What's the last great book you read?

As always, thank you for being the most wonderful community!! 🥹 Hearing from you in the comments absolutely makes my day! So, thank you for everything 🥰

Love always,

Ophelia ♥️

A book that I’m reading right now is called “The Will to Change” by Bell Hooks. My favorite books are the “Diary of a Wimpy Kid” books, “Dear Mr. Henshaw”, and “Holes”.

That sounds like an amazing time, im glad you got to go and decompress in a quiet area ❤️ I want to get into the Three Body Problem series by Cixin Liu, and the Xeelee Sequence by Stephen Baxter. Sci fi always gets me intrigued.

Haven’t begun reading yet, but I still have my Ruin of Kings book I plan to read plus the Fnaf book: The Silver Eyes that I bought years ago yet never read it. I mostly enjoyed Fantasy, sci-fi, action, and romance novels the most but I’ll read anything that seems like a good book. Overall, glad you’re having fun with reading Ophelia

I’m a massive Star Wars nerd😂 so the last book I’ve read was the Revenge of the Sith novelization i throughly enjoyed nerding out while reading it

I’ve been reading a lot lately, mainly because I’m writing my own book. It’s a fantasy book so I’ve been reading a lot of fantasy novels and a little bit of sci-fi on the side. I’m currently on the last book of the Shattered Sea series by Joe Abercrombie. I read the first book in the series, Half a King in one day. And so that probably the last good book I read since there’s not many books that suck me in to such an extent that I read it in one day. Can’t beat the OGs of fantasy like Tolkien, though. The Hobbit is my favourite book of all time. I’m so happy to live just down the road from Oxford not far from where Tolkien studied, lived, taught, and was buried. Every so often I get the bus into Oxford and go on a little Tolkien trail I start at Pembroke College where he taught, walk to Exeter College, where he studied then up Broad Street where all the book stores are, stop for a quick drink at the Lamb and Flag which is supposedly a pub where he used to drink as there’s a sign written in Tengwar above the door I then walk to his house on Northmoor Road before walking to Wolvercote Cemetery and paying my respects at his grave. It’s just my way of paying respects to a legend in the fantasy genre

I love a good old fashioned book store. When I was younger, my mother and I would take trips to old stores to find all sorts of books. I just recently got a few new bookshelves, and cannot wait to visit my family again (and collect the MANY books I left with them). Recently I've been re-reading the "Inheritance Cycle" series by Christopher Paolini. Glad to hear you had a great weekend, I hope the rest of your week goes just as well Ophelia💙

Sounds like a lovely trip! Glad there's still little hideaways out there for you to discover treasure in. We have a wonderful independent bookstore in town that I wish I visited more often. They have lots of great art and photography books on the most random topics. Many of them are images that will probably never be digitized so it's interesting to think I may be the last person to ever see an image. One book that I found oddly intriguing was a book full of photos of trucks used by circuses from the 1920s to the 1960s. Everything from basic hauler to human cannonball trucks. It's fun to find little bits of history most people wouldn't think about. Hope your finds keep you thoroughly entertained and spark the imagination. ☺️

Oooh that sounds so nice!!! Librarian waifu themed audio series coming soon???😅 I'm glad you found that and had a very nice time Ophelia. I'm having an oddly good week myself. 🥰 and I can't wait to relax this weekend.

That’s sounds like fun. Finding nice place like that is always a nice treat. I’m glad you had a nice weekend and I hope there is more joy coming to you soon. I would love a series where you read a book and do like different voices for characters. Hope you have a wonderful day Ophelia.

Since I’m still kind of new to reading books I haven’t visited that many different stores. Though there is this store in ”the old city” in Stockholm that is just awesome. It’s called ”science fiction bookstore”. It has everything from books and mangas to board games and even some warhammer figures and stuff that you paint the colors yourself. Every time I go there, I always leave with something I wasn’t planning on getting😂 now that’s how you know that a store is good! Glad you enjoyed your time Ophelia🥰

OpheliaASMR

Aww that sounds lovely! I love those kinds of stores too— it’s like a treasure trove of all the amazing, nerdy things to want to buy! There’s some similar shops in the cities, but I’ve only been to a handful. Definitely need to go again soon!! Thank you! ☺️

Earlier this year I re-read my favorite novel The Night Circus and I want to read it again so I can write some music based on it. I also read the Wizard of Oz for the first time. Then I read the new hunger games, and now im gonna start The Long Walk and Redwall because I missed that one as a kid. I love the smell of books and have a vast physical library, but im dyslexic, so I mostly listen to them during my 1 hour each way commute through Los Angeles traffic.

OpheliaASMR

Oh wow! That’s amazing creating your own music to your favourite story, I hope you have a lot of fun! Enjoy all your future book reading 🥰 Yes, sometimes it’s just better having a book read to you so you can completely immerse yourself in it all 🌹
