I've been in a huge reading slump since I got sick with the flu & have put aside a bunch of books since I've gotten better. Guard Your Daughters by Diana Tutton got me out of that slump! The book starts off with a slice of life of an eccentric family with 5 daughters. But there's more to this family than the cheerful facade and you don't fully get it until the end & what an end. * #funaekreads #funaekbooks #instabooks #instareads #persephonebooks #guardyourdaughters #dianatutton https://www.instagram.com/p/B7yjJ2xA846/?igshid=1w0ktbe3wgz6o

June 21st, 2019 || AND IT’S FRIDAY 🎉🎉 I’ve had a busy week and haven’t had much time to do anything other than read - but that’s never a bad thing so yay! This week is #indiebookshopweek and tomorrow I’ll be in London visiting a few of my favourite ones, like Persephone, and some others I’ve haven’t been to yet. I’ll go to Daunt Books, Forbidden Planet, Blackwell’s, The Second Shelf and Gay’s the Word to name a few. Let’s buy all the books! (well, not really, but two or three 😂) . Any other indie bookshop suggestions? Have you got anything this indie bookshop week? If so, tell me! 🌻 • • • #persephonebooks #centrallondon #indiebookshop #indiebookshopweek #fortheloveofbooks #ilovebooks📚 #bookhoarder #buybooks #unitedbookstagram #bookstores #booksonbooks #readersofinsta (en Persephone Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/By-Aeu_Ippd/?igshid=1frg9afaz4gsg

This is one of the loveliest bookshops I’ve ever seen! It’s also a publisher which only publishes forgotten female authors! . . . #bookstagram #reading #books #bookish #bookstore #publisher #persephonebooks #readersofinstagram (at Persephone Books) https://www.instagram.com/p/BqmtgADnbUi/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1grkb2jebfa2e

Last week I had the pleasure of visiting @persephonebooks in London for the first time. I have seen these books over the years on Instagram but I didn’t really know anything about them. So this is what I learned... Persephone Books is first and foremost a publisher which was founded in 1999 by Nicola Beauman. She chose the name Persephone as a symbol of female creativity (the daughter of Zeus, AKA the beautiful goddess of spring). The company publishes titles that are out-of-print, with the majority being novels written by women. The books are mainly sold by post via subscription. However, if in London, I encourage you to visit their lovely shop where you can swoon over every title and shop until your heart’s content. The books all have the same elegant grey cover. Beauman has been quoted as saying, "I like grey, and I also had this vision of a woman who comes home tired from work, and there is a book waiting for her, and it doesn't matter what it looks like because she knows she will enjoy it". Each book does have its own uniquely coloured end paper and comes with a matching bookmark - this I really love! Suffice it to say that I have a serious crush on Persephone Books! Do you own any of their editions? 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 🌷 #persephonebooks #persephoneclassics #thisismybookstore #beautifulbookshops #bookstorevibes #londonUK #literarture #bookstagramlife #indiebookstore #stacksofbooks #bookshelves #bookstore #bookshop #bookshopping #booksonbooksonbooks #bookgram #met_createchange #bibliophile #booksoftheday #mybookbath 📖🛁 (at Persephone Books)
