Looking to indulge in a good read, Dakota Fanning was spotted leaving Barnes & Noble carrying a newly purchased book and a cup of coffee in Los Angeles, California on Thursday (May 31).

Dressed in a simple grey summer dress, the "Twilight" actress gave the cameras a slight smile as she made her way out of the store in gladiator sandals and dark round sunglasses.

On the business front, Dakota is preparing for he role in "Very Good Girls" which follows two New York City lasses who are determined to lose their virginity during their first summer out of high school, but they both fall for the same street artist - as the friends then find their connection tested for the first time.

Joining the 18-year-old in the film expected to hit theaters next year is Elizabeth Olsen, who is slated to play her best friend, as well as Demi Moore.
