    Revisiting Arc nโ€™ Book Seoul in 2025: One Time was Not Enough

    Hello, dearies! Welcome to a new bookish adventure!

    First things first, did you see or read about my visit to Arc n’ Book in Seoul – 2024? That was the link to it, the one you just saw. Well, the first impression of a place that I have seen in pictures was incredible, it was a must-see for me.

    So, what to do in my third trip to Korea in 2025? I had to go to Arc n’ Book once again, because… there is no special reason other than I liked it, and I went looking for something new to buy. And I did.

    Now, did I go to the same one as in 2024? I did, that is the one located at LOTTE WORLD MALL. On the 4th Floor, the exact address, though you don’t really need it, is 300 Olympic-ro, Songpa District, Seoul, South Korea. If you go on the subway, stop at Jamsil Station (Line 2 and 8), and from there follow the signs.

    My BookShelves Were Not the Norm

    Hello, dearies! ๐Ÿ“š๐Ÿ“š

    Welcome to a new bookish adventure with me, but not a travelling one as the previous ones, but rather one where my bookshelves were a bit of a mess, manga, paperbacks, hardcovers, light novels, music, and all my new themed decor were there, without any meaning and getting lost to be honest.

    So, what did I do?

    You know it, a bookshelf re-organisation was due.

    Welcome, dearies! โœˆ๏ธ

    Once more we’re going on a bookish adventure in Seoul. ๐Ÿ“š

    Now onward to Starfield. ๐Ÿ˜บ There are two of these libraries in South Korea, well, as far as I know. The first time, I only visited the one in COEX Mall, but in 2024 I had to cover more ground and see more bookish spots because I was a bit shy the first time.

    Last year (2024) I decided to hop on a journey of bookstores of Seoul, and Arc n’ Book was one of those that I visited. Why didn’t I visit more of these in 2023 on my first visit to the country is beyond me, but probably something to do with being awed by everything. ๐Ÿ˜ธ
