3My favorite local authors in the Philippines have raved about this one. All I know is the owner of BooksActually is very passionate about promoting Singaporean literature and has a cat who stays inside the bookstore. That makes me more excited!

This library looks like a maze. I wouldn't mind getting lost here. Its all-white walls are also so pleasant to the eyes. 👀

Cafebrería El Péndulo's vibe seems so peaceful. And it's like the books are growing leaves! 🍃 Aside from this perfect ambience, they also have a cafe and restaurant that serves authentic Mexican food. Someday I'll grab a book, have a snack and a cup of coffee here.

2This bookstore in Hamburg reminds me so much of Fully Booked aesthetic wise. But what I love most is their stock of unique and rare collections. They even have Sally Rooney and hard to find Patti Smith books in limited edition covers. 😭💖

2Cozy and vintage, Halabi Bookshop is a hub for artists and book lovers in Beirut. Many regulars have found friends that they now treat as family in this humble space. Can't wait to get my hands on some of their classics and explore their culture through text.
