Complete silence except for the creaking of the ground beneath our feet. We had stumbled upon the oldest bookstore in London, Hatchards, located in the heart of Piccadilly Circus. It first opened its doors in 1797, and by the looks of it they haven't slowed down since then. There is a grand staircase situated in the middle of the store that can take you to any of the five stories. Each floor contains different genres, but all impressive in their own right. They have generous section of first edition books, as well as an abundance of signed copies. I officially found my haven here in London. It was hard to resist buying almost every book I picked up, but I had to reason with myself about the suitcase room on the return home. This is a must see for all you book lovers making a trip to London!!  Books I did buy here: The ABC Murders by Agatha Christie London Rain by Nicola Upson What is the coolest bookstore you have been to? I'm making a bookstore bucket list!!

Books are always better than the movie right? Well, I have decided to challenge myself to read these books before I'm allowed to see them on the big screen. Most of these are scheduled to come out sometime in 2018, but since I don't have the definite date I am just going to make sure I read it before seeing the movie. So I'll be ready for whenever they do come out. I found that these were either expected, through various news articles, to come to the big screen soon or were already in post-production according to IMBD. So I hope those sources are reliable. I will post a book review when I finish it!! Here are the ones I plan to tackle with their Goodreads Summaries: All the Bright Places by Jennifer Niven Theodore Finch is fascinated by death, and he constantly thinks of ways he might kill himself.

The Weight of Lies by Emily Carpenter Goodreads Summary: In this gripping, atmospheric family drama, a young woman investigates the forty -year -old murder that inspired her mother’s bestselling novel, and uncovers devastating truths—and dangerous lies. Reformed party girl Meg Ashley leads a life of a privilege, thanks to a bestselling horror novel her mother wrote decades ago. But Meg knows that the glow of their very public life hides a darker reality of lies, manipulation, and the heartbreak of her own solitary childhood.

Read Bottom Up by Neel Shah Goodreads Summary: A charming novel about falling in love (or like) in the digital age—the never-before-seen full story Madeline and Elliot meet at a New York City restaurant opening. Flirtation—online—ensues. A romance, potentially eternal, possibly doomed, begins. And, like most things in life today, their early exchanges are available to be scrutinized and interpreted by well-intentioned friends who are a mere click away. Madeline and Elliot's relationship unfolds through a series of thrilling, confounding, and funny exchanges with each other, and, of course, with their best friends and dubious confidants (Emily and David). The result is a brand-new kind of modern romantic comedy, in format, in content, and even in creation—the authors exchanged e-mails in real time, blind to each other's side conversations. You will nod in appreciation and roll your eyes in recognition; you'll learn a thing or two about how the other half approaches a new
