I love when I happen upon these moments too, Jennie. It's like a language that only a true book lover would understand. Daunt Books is beautiful. Was there last June. I would go back to London just to go to the bookstores. Happy traveling and reading!

Oh this makes my heart just SING, Jennie! Daunt Books Publishing (that is an extention of Daunt Books ) is my UK publisher. The way they care —throughout the company — about books, is so beautiful and so rare, and as I understand it all starts with the owner, James Daunt. I am so thrilled my book coaching family found their way to Daunt books. You are all indeed sharing the same love of books!

Oh I KNEW this Lidije -- I heard you speak of it -- but I hadn't put that together. That makes it all the more special!

Yes! There’s nothing quite like being together with book people. 💕 I love how you drew people together from so many places to continue that fellowship in person. London is a bucket list destination for me, and that bookstore is now on the list of must-sees!

The bookstores in London are dreamy! I studied abroad there and still remember the layout of the bookstore by my dorm. So glad you got to experience the magic again of book coaches coming together!

Love the magic in bookstores. I haven't been to Daunt Books, but I'm just back from Scotland and Ireland, and I think I was in 5 bookstores and snapped 4 pics of the stores' exteriors because...I just couldn't help myself! OK, OK, I also snapped a display where Fourth Wing (a coaching client's favorite) and Outlander (my fav) were side by side. Unfortunately, the long room in the library at Trinity College was emptied of its books for a "conserving" project. Congrats on the community gathering! Next time I'm in London, I'll visit Daunt Books and feel the magic!
