It's one of my first stops every time I go to the UK as well. French bookshops for some reason just don't feel the same, marvelous as they can be.

You don't read in French at all?

A little but not much!

It's not the size of the bookstore, it's the wizard who wrote it....

Don't ever go to Cambridge, you'll go into one of the bookshops but not come out.

I did. It took three hours to get out but well worth it :D

Impressive!

Do you like the mega-Waterstones in Piccadilly? I go there whenever my brother in law gifts me a voucher (which is most Christmases and birthdays), and I spend hours deciding how to spend it!

Yes, loved it! but it was far away from where I lived so it was a treat
I got to do an event there once which was like, the dream

Oh, that must have been dreamy!
