Atlantis Bookshop
Atlantis Bookshop is my new favorite book store in London. They have tons of books related to magic and the occult. I was happy to find The Magical Creatures Handbook, a book containing hundreds of line drawings of beasts, gods, and other fantastic beings.
Poe dolls
The Edgar Allan Poe exhibition at the Morgan Library is a must-see! Plus, you will find these awesome dolls in the gift shop.
Junk
I love stopping by the store Junk in Brooklyn whenever I visit NYC. I always find the most unusual treasures - gold glass bears, monster figurines, test tubes, Samuel for Congress buttons, tea cups, and creepy art!
Donut break
I was in NYC for a few days and had to make a trip to my favorite donut shop, Peter Pan in Greenpoint. Their donuts are outta this world!

Old book covers
Found these old editions of Sense and Sensibility and Eugene Onegin at my parents' house. Really love the book cover designs (though the ladies with blackened eyes look a bit like zombies). Also hard to believe that copy of Sense and Sensibility was only 45 cents!
