LondonBookShopCrawl

Pages of Hackney | London, United Kingdom (Bookstore)

Finally managed to visit Pages of Hackney after so many people told me I had to go! It‘s in a slightly difficult bit of London for me to get to but I‘m glad I made the effort. This is the most wonderful little jewel of an independent bookshop with big sections for travel, life writing, essays, nature writing. If only I had more money...

squirrelbrain I loved it there! It was my favourite when I went on the #londonbookshopcrawl. And they gave us brownies 😁 5y

julesG Pages is great! 5y

Le crime est notre affaire (Nouvelle traduction r�vis�e) | Agatha Christie

I‘ve gone with a French book for this one, but it‘s also to do with love of course....

I bought this in the vintage section in Pages of Hackney on the #londonbookshopcrawl.

Jace enjoyed this, especially the one teaching about the difference between peak and peek - he loves playing peekaboo! Such a cute book, would definitely add it to his collection for when he gets a little older. 5⭐️

Well that‘s that weekend sorted! #ninjabookbox #londonbookshopcrawl

TheLudicReader I would LOVE this! 6y

Mitch I know @TheLudicReader ! Never seen this before, but evidently it‘s in its third year! Three days of trekking the city bookshop to bookshop, eating cake, with a customised Tote bag to collect all the bookshop freebie goodies and of course purchases. What could possible be better! #greatdaysout #londonbookshopsrock 6y

TheLudicReader OMG, @Mitch, I wish I could fly over for that! 6y

Theodora: Actress, Empress, Whore: A Novel | Stella Duffy

I am soooo exhausted now but I've had a brilliant day romping around London in the sunshine for my #LondonBookShopCrawl this is the final haul it's not enormous but 'twas still more than I can probably afford! I managed 11 shops in all which seems like a small number but it was about 20 miles of walking heheh and I spent a lot of time browsing, now for a chill evening of wine and reading with my feet up!

TrishB Looks like you had a fab day 😀 7y

LeahBergen Wonderful! 😍😍 7y
