London Bookstore Hop – Stop 2 Persephone Books

This was the stop on my bookstore hop that I was most thrilled for. Persephone Books is a publisher and bookseller of female authors whose works have gone out of print. Their iconic gray covers, careful curation, personalized recommendations, and character of resistance makes this bookstore a must-stop if you’re a book lover in London. 

3.15.18 / 4:37 pm / magdalene- bear’s den

it’s spring break!! midterms were last week, so i’ve been giving myself the break to NOT think about schoolwork. it’s been exactly what i’ve needed.

i tend to forget about being a person when the pressure gets really high in school, so i’ve been taking the time to cook for myself, read for fun, watch guilt-free netflix, apply to jobs, catch up with friends i haven’t seen in awhile, & even put effort into my appearance.
