House of Books and Friends | Manchester, United Kingdom (Bookstore)

I spent a few hours in Manchester and completely lost it in this “House of Books and Friends”. No friends but the books made up for that 😅 #bookhaul

sarahbarnes That‘s a great haul! So many on my TBR in there! 📚 3w

BarbaraBB @sarahbarnes I‘ll keep you posted 😃 3w

ChaoticMissAdventures So many great books! I read Annie Bot this year and really enjoyed it. 3w

Bookwomble Ah, that's a lovely bookshop ❤️ If you're still in the area, have the time, and it's open, the tagged 18th century library is close to the House of Books and Friends, and worth a visit for the ambience.

The Portico Library

BarbaraBB @Tamra I haven‘t read her before, is she good? 3w

BarbaraBB @Bookwomble Thanks! I had to leave for the airport though 🤷🏻‍♀️ 3w

Bookwomble @BarbaraBB Maybe next visit 😁 Have a safe journey home ❤️ 3w

Hello from Manchester UK! Loot after 2.5 hours book shopping with my kids. We exceeded today's budget. But it's books and our first holiday together in six years.

#BookHaul

Thank you, @Oryx for using your lunchtime to trek into town to meet me and my tired children for a coffee and a browse. 😘😘

Oryx Lovely to see you. And explore a new to me bookshop. It was a lovely shop. 1y

RaeLovesToRead @julesG @Oryx So glad you both had a good time!! 🥰 There's another bookshop cafe in the Northern Quarter called Chapter One! There aren't many books but you can ORDER THEM TO YOUR TABLE!!!! Also, Queer Lit is a great little bookshop too. 1y

TrishB It‘s books 😁 say no more! 1y

squirrelbrain Looks like a fabulous day! ❤️ 1y

julesG @RaeLovesToRead the grumpies didn't want to walk to Chapter One. It might have been a 5min walk but they (oh, well, we) were tired and needed an extensive nap. 1y

youneverarrived Enjoy your holiday! 🤍 1y

Tamra Have a lovely trip! 1y

julesG @youneverarrived Thanks! Will be in York for a few hours tomorrow afternoon. 😁 1y

julesG @Tamra Thanks! 1y

youneverarrived Ohh I hope you enjoy 🥰 what book shops are you planning on visiting? 1y

julesG @youneverarrived we have our eyes on the Portal, it specialises in Sci-fi and Fantasy books. And the Travelling Man, it has comics and mangas 1y

RaeLovesToRead @Zoes_Human I wasn't sure which of his books to go for, so I went for both 😉 1y

Zoes_Human @RaeLovesToRead It was the only possible decision! 1y
