 was made to realize this 
noticed there was a bookstore across the street，so I decided to skip coffee and head over
decided give up /not to have coffee and instead to go to the bookstore

held in mind

① if something entertains you, it amuses you, interests you, or gives you pleasure.
②to invite people to eat or drink with you as your guests, your home.
③（not used in the progressive tenses）(formal) to consider or allow yourself to think about an idea, a hope, a feeling,etc.
