OMG, it's #bookshopday!
London's bookshops are the single best thing about the city. This is a fact. It's the reason I gave up Kindle and Amazon orders.
Entering a good bookshop feels like a hug. So here's a thread with my 10 favourite London bookshops:

Entering a good bookshop feels like a hug. So here's a thread with my 10 favourite London bookshops:
10. @Hatchards — The oldest bookshop in London and the most imposing. It feels like you're entering a very rich person's library.
It's incredibly beautiful (that spiral staircase! the lighting on the shelves!). I probably only got one or two books there, I feel intimidated. 😳

9. @GoshComics — I'm not a big graphic novel fan, but Gosh!'s selection is so great that I always end up buying something. In the heart of Soho, it's perfect if you have some time (and some cash) to spare.
The bookshop is where you go when you don't know what you want or how you feel. There's no guarantee it has the answer, but a sudden instinct makes you step inside. 
And that's when the magic starts to happen. Books are promises: pick me up and I will change your life. Thousands upon thousands of promises, lying languid on old shelves.
