Doing my @bookriot #RiotGrams October Challenge out of order-#13 is #bookishswag, #tshirt #JaneAustenmugs #Hatchards tote.We had put our books in the Hatchards tote and kept that on the billing counter, and the guy at the counter asked us if we only wanted the tote and not the books inside! Turns out quite a few people just wanted the tote, hence the rather odd question!!

"They were passing Hatchard's bookshop, and she considered ducking inside; surely he would not follow her, not into a place where they'd likely be overheard."
Will Herondale also picked up a copy of A Tale of Two Cities for Tessa Gray here!

Linear At first I was like a why would they be likely overheard in a book shop? But then I was like oh because the shops are quiet in most societies. Really not in the ones that I've been though. I guess there's a lot of boisterous people around here 7y
sammys_shelf @Linear oh really?! You could have heard a pin drop in there earlier today! Where do you live? 7y
Linear I live in Georgia, USA. The only book shop that I know of that's close to us is a Barnes & Noble that's in 45 minutes to an hour drive away from where I live. It's like an entrance to a mall so you usually have people chatting away as they walk through trying to get into the mall. Or are you have people waiting in line at the Starbucks that's inside of it chatting away. 7y

sammys_shelf @Linear wow! I couldn't imagine having a bookshop so loud! Where I live though its a fairly small bookshop. (I live in a village along the east coast of England). Very limited for choice, but it is close! Not sure which I'd prefer!! Though I can imagine you probably take your time there since its so far away! 7y
Linear @sammys_shelf I actually have a big going there because it's so far away and there's a lot of road work between here and there. But it is very distracting when you go. I wish there were more books stores around here, there was one but it went out of business everyone just relies on ordering online now I guess. 7y
sammys_shelf @Linear that is true, but i much prefer not to. I think because I've had so many damaged copies or ones that are not as shown/described! You've really got to be careful where you buy them! 7y
