Christiana Reuling Writes

I’ve tried to explain to non-readers the ultimate comfort that comes over me when I’m lost in the stacks. I can see on their faces that they can’t relate, so I give up trying and simply say, it’s like coming home. How to express those feelings of security when you know at your core that you are among friends, fictional and otherwise, that everyone accepts you just as you are and no one is judging you. That no matter what is happening outside with the weather, or the political climate, or anything else, inside a bookstore you are warm, happy, and content. That within those rows of books you might encounter the ghost of your childhood self, reinforcing the belief that you can still go anywhere, be anything, that the possibilities are fathomless in stories and in life. That so long as there are books in this world, and people to write them, there will be hope, for a better planet, a better mankind, a better me.📚

When I brought this book to the register at @theabbeybookshop the owner told me that he’d sold a few copies of this one lately and asked me what was so compelling about it. I told him I’d actually never even heard of it before, but that I loved stories about bookstores and the people who run them and the lighthouse setting made this one stand out as unique. I’m really excited to read this one, but I think I might save it for my vacation to the Florida Keys next February. I’m such a mood reader and the vibes seem perfect for that. Do you save certain books to read on future trips or in different seasons?

The Abbey Bookshop in Paris was an absolute maze in the best way possible. They’ve utilized every square inch of space to cram it full of books, floor to ceiling, including the basement. It was a delight to browse in for an hour on the morning of my birthday.

It was so hard to choose just one book to bring from home for this trip to London, Paris, and Germany. I usually pack at least three, but I knew I would be buying so many and needed the suitcase space to bring them back. But I still needed at least one to start on the plane, and this was my pick. The setting couldn’t have been more perfect.

A little @shakespeareandcoparis haul! The book I chose was The Invisible Hour by the incredible Alice Hoffman. I’d already read and adored this book, but didn’t have my own copy and I just loved this cover! I love the US cover too, but this one practically jumped off the shelves into my arms, so it was clear it wanted to come home with me. And of course, I got it stamped! See my previous post for that. I also picked up some merch, because come on. You go all the way to Paris to visit one of your top bucket list bookstores, you want those conversation starters that pique the interest of other bookworms, open up a dialogue, and form a bridge that potentially turns complete strangers into new friends. I also got a t-shirt so I’m ready for all seasons!

The thing about buying books as souvenirs is that it attaches a memory. A memory of the lovely day I had book shopping in a new city when I bought it, or the trip I was on when I read it, having plucked that particular book off the shelf and said to it, “Now is your time. Come share this adventure with me.” It makes each book on my shelf more than what it once was. It becomes something to cherish. I’ll often leave the receipt tucked inside the cover, or the free bookmark from the store nestled within the pages like a secret treasure to rediscover when it’s time to graduate from my TBR or perhaps due for a reread. This is the first time I’ve ever had a book stamped with its origin story, but I love it! If I ever get to own my own bookstore, this is a little detail that I will implement (upon the buyer’s request, of course.) Do you have any stamped books in your collection?

The next day in Paris was my birthday and my most ardent wish was to go to Shakespeare & Company! I’ve read so much about the original store and its founder, Sylvia Beach, and all she did for the incredible expat writing community living in Paris at that time. And I’ve also read a bit about the founder of the current store, George Whitman, whose daughter Sylvia now runs it in his stead. I had such a longing to visit in person but never dreamed I would get the chance! I made sure to get there super early to queue so I was third in line, and only took photos of the upstairs where I was alone to respect other patrons privacy, per the store’s policy. It’s a beautiful, old 17th century building and it was such a lovely way to spend the morning of my birthday browsing books. Definitely visit if you get the chance!

Two of the three books I picked up at Smith & Son in Paris. I’ve already read both of these and they were both wonderful. I definitely chose some gems here. Highly recommend. The third book was a non-fiction on writing, which I hope to get to soon.

We traveled by train from London to Paris, where the first book shop we visited was the historic Smith &Son, formerly known as WHSmith. They had such a fantastic selection of books here, that I truly struggled to choose just one, and in the end, compromised with three.📚And my hubby even found his beloved Asterix comics and a comfy window seat so I could really take my time.

Throwing a little non-fiction into the mix with my pick from @word.on.the.water the London book barge. This one sounded so interesting, with quality writing and a gorgeous cover. I might set this one aside for next spring when the flowers start blooming again.

The last bookshop we visited in London was another of my top favorites. Word on the Water is definitely one of the most unique bookstores I’ve ever had the privilege to visit, since it is literally a book barge. It took just a moment to find my sea legs after stepping aboard, but once I got them, I could have stayed here all day. Loved the boho vibes, cozy nooks, and eclectic details stuffed in every cranny. Absolutely worth the experience if you’re anywhere near the area.

Another stop on our literary tour of London was the British Library where we spent a good hour strolling through their Treasures of the British Library exhibit that showcased some of the worlds most beloved and interesting books, manuscripts, and maps. Shakespeare’s folios, da Vinci’s sketches, poems by Sylvia Plath and Ted Hughes, and Elizabeth Barrett Browning, manuscripts by Oscar Wilde and George Eliot, handwritten Beatles lyrics, the Gutenberg Bible, the Magna Carta, and so much more. It was truly fascinating and I definitely could have spent a few hours here if we’d had the time. Also, they have a great gift shop!

I’ve wanted to visit Cecil Court ever since I read Virginia Woolf’s essay Street Haunting earlier this year. It truly feels like you’ve stepped back in time when you enter this alley, as if you’re walking among the ghosts of the great artists, writers, thinkers, and musicians who lived here and patronized the antiquarian shops of book and art that still remain.

Two of the new reads I picked up at @foylesforbooks. I’ll have to do a haul at some point when I get back home. I’ve bought so many books on this trip now, it’s going to be a workout to get them all home. But books do make the best souvenirs.📚

I felt right at home at London bookstore #4. And no surprise. As soon as you walk into @foylesforbooks and are greeted by the quote over the entryway, you feel immediately welcomed. This store broke my one book per store rule, and I ended up with three, though two were from the buy one get one half off tables, which made me feel a little better about it. This one was my hubby’s least favorite though, due to a lack of comfy chairs. He does do a lot of sitting and waiting for me.

My pick from @piccadillywaterstones. A slim little volume set on Wales, I believe? It sounded intriguing and I loved the writing style.

London bookstore #3 was @waterstones in Picadilly where my hubby found a huge stash of his favorite Asterix comics and so I let him read in peace and didn’t bother him to take a photo of me. Though I prefer independent bookstores, I couldn’t pass up a visit to at least one Waterstones. This was a good one!

I love that I keep coming across books I’ve never seen or heard of before, here in London.🇬🇧 I’m so intrigued by this one. I nearly picked it up at @dauntbooks but ended up making a different selection. Then I saw it again at @hatchardspiccadilly and it was signed by the author! Sold.

I couldn’t pass up a trip to @hatchardspiccadilly, the oldest bookstore in the U.K. and official booksellers to the Royal family, especially since it was right next door to Fortnum & Mason, where we’d booked afternoon tea. The building was really charming and it had a great selection. I limited myself to just one book though, since I have many more bookstores to visit!

Some dreams do come true! I’ve longed to come to London and visit all the amazing bookshops here and top of the list was the gorgeous @dauntbooks in Marylebone. Well, we flew into Heathrow yesterday morning, took the Tube to our hotel to drop off our bags and freshen up, and then immediately headed out to make this dream a reality. And it was just as lovely as I’d hoped it would be. I got two books and the famous Daunt Books tote that will remind me of this trip forever. Stay tuned to find out where I go next!

For lovers of Jane Austen and more recent works like The Other Bennet Sister, Longbourn, or Miss Newbury’s List. This one swept me away with its sweeping romance. It felt like complete comfort, like watching the Keira Knightly adaption of Pride and Prejudice. Highly recommend!

A little haul of the books I picked up on my bookstore bus tour through Buffalo with @wernerbooks. I’ve already read The Last Train to Key West, but didn’t own a copy. The others are new to me. Which one should I read first? I’m leaning toward Beasts of a Little Land. Or maybe The Letter Tree?📚

Took a bookstore bus tour last weekend to Buffalo with @wernerbooks and had such a blast! So much fun, in fact, that I barely remembered to take pictures (and completely forgot at our last stop) so here’s the few snapshots I got of the event. It was such a cool experience though and I’ll definitely be watching for them to do this again!

This pretty girl is reminding us to make sure to take a little time for ourselves today and just chill, snuggle, write, read, paint, draw, bake. Whatever it is that makes you feel content and happy. Make time for that today. You’re worth it!

Book haul!📚 Aren’t these stacks glorious? These are all the books that I picked up on my vacation, as I traveled to the Florida Keys and back, hitting seven bookstores along the way. Plus two (top center) that I couldn’t find in any of them, so I ordered as soon as I got back. So many exciting new reads! I don’t even know where to start!

The very last book I picked up on my bookstore tour/vacation was Weyward by Emilia Hart. I’ve heard such good things about this one, but I need your advice! I’m such a mood reader, and prefer to read books set in the season I’m in. The crow is giving me Fall vibes but some of the other imagery seems more Spring and Summer. Where should I slate this one in on my TBR?

I can see why @malapropsbookstore is so beloved, now that I’ve been in person. Not only was it well stocked and roomy without being overwhelming, but the smell of fresh brewed coffee permeated the air, and the staff were just the right amount of welcoming and friendly. This bookstore has such good vibes! I would visit again and again if I could.📚 Check out my previous posts for interior photos.

One thing to know about me, I love books about writers. Especially women writers. So when I saw this book at @malapropsbookstore in Asheville, NC, I knew it had to come home with me. I can’t wait to dive into this one! But I think I might save it for my trip to London and Paris this fall. It seems like it might be a good one to read while traveling by plane and train. We’ll see if I can hold off that long though!

Welcome to Malaprop’s in Asheville, NC, the last stop on my bookstore tour vacation. I actually visited in 2021, but when I got to the door, there was a sign on it that it was open to locals only by appointment. I was heartbroken. But this was my year for redemption! And it was well worth the wait.

Wow, this book absolutely blew me away with its unique, high-concept premise and lyrical execution of the plot and prose. I was hanging on to every word. I was THERE. This is definitely going to be one of my top reads of 2024. I loved it. Can’t wait to see what this author does next.

More photos from my visit to @e.shaver_bookseller in Savannah, GA at the end of February. It’s taking me a while to get through all the photos I took on this whirlwind trip from Pennsylvania to the Florida Keys and back, and all the bookstores we stopped at along the way. E. Shaver’s was my absolute favorite though. I wish I didn’t live so far away!

As someone who loves nothing more than to visit new bookstores, I have to say that E. Shaver, Booksellers has got to be one of my top favorites of all time. Everything about the experience is just so charming, from the location on a lovely street across from a park, to the sprawling, meandering set up inside, the incredible selection, the adorable kitties, and friendly staff. All bookstores are magic, but E. Shaver’s has a little extra of the stuff dreams are made of.

Nestled in downtown Savannah with brick sidewalks and stately trees strung with Spanish moss is one of the most charming bookstores I have ever had the pleasure of visiting. E. Shavers has so many glorious little alcoves and side rooms filled with books, gifts, and cats that it’s going to take several posts for me to share it all. If you’re anywhere in the area, definitely stop in and take a wander. It is a book lover’s dream shop!

Earnest Hemingway’s writing room at his home in Key West. I have always been intrigued about writers work spaces and this was the first one I ever got to see in person. I could have spent so much time here, but you’re only allowed to peek in, and there was a line behind us. Doesn’t it look like such an inspirational place though? It sparked in me a desire to visit other authors creative spaces. Hopefully someday!

We interrupt the vacation photo broadcast for the solar eclipse! My hometown just happens to be in the path of totality so we are ready and waiting. It’s pretty cloudy, unfortunately but we are hoping to catch a few glimpses of it anyway. In the meantime, I’ll be sitting here with my highly anticipated next read: The Seven Skins of Esther Wilding by Holly Ringland. The Lost Flowers of Alice Hart was one of my favorite books so far this year, so I’m super excited for this one.

Touring Earnest Hemingway’s home was one of the highlights of Key West for me. Full disclosure, these photos were actually taken on our previous trip in 2021. Since I never shared the photos, I thought now after our second visit was a good opportunity. We didn’t get to go back to the Hemingway house this time around, but it is well worth it if you’re in the area and you’ve never been. Photos of his writing room coming soon!

If you can’t get a photo with the legendary Judy Blume at Books & Books, her bookstore in Key West, at least this is the next best thing! I would have loved to meet her and let her know what a huge impact her books had on me as a child. She made this terribly introverted girl with such big emotions, it was a daily struggle to stuff them all down and keep them contained, feel like she was seen, and cared for, and NORMAL. And I’m forever grateful.

I couldn’t go to Judy Blume’s bookstore and not pick up one of her books! This one was unsigned, but they offered to have it signed and shipped to me for $5, so I’m waiting for it to come in the mail so I can add it to my summer TBR. Looking forward to it!

Books & Books @ the Studios was another bucket list bookstore I got to cross off on this trip! I wanted to go so badly when I was in Key West in 2021, but I was with a large group and by the time I could make it happen, they were closing. Redemption! I told my hubby that if there was one non-negotiable on this trip, it was visiting Judy Blume’s bookstore. And we did!

I’m not typically a girl who knows how to relax. I pretty much have to be taken out of my usual environment in order to force myself to decompress. I guess that’s why I cherish vacations so much. I get to be a different me for a little while. A calmer, worry-free, stress-free, go-with-the-flow, spontaneous me that reminds me of what life could be like if I spent less time working for a living and more time simply living. I hope someday I find that balance.

Could not resist picking up the latest book by Margot Livesey at @tombolobooks! My dog, Gemma, is named after the title character in her previous work, the Flight of Gemma Hardy, which is one of my favorite books of all time. There is just something so timeless about her writing style. Eager to read this one!

I don’t know if I’ll ever realize my dream of owning my own bookstore one day, but I love visiting new ones and filing away little nuggets of ideas of what others are doing to set their space apart and make it more interesting and inviting. Like the gorgeous paintwork on the outside of @tombolobooks in St. Pete’s, Florida. It’s just begging to be photographed. Still reveling in my visit there two weeks ago.

Books as far as the eye can see. Walked into McKay’s in Nashville with low expectations and walked out with an armful of books for thirty dollars. Such a cool place! Sure wish we had one of these back home.
