My Bookshop Bender

<p>At the start of 2023, I had a large stack of books in the corner of my room in my designated &lsquo;Unread&rsquo; pile. Fast forward to the middle of July and my coffers are empty, the pile diminished and the contents of many pages absorbed into my brain. Yes I know I am so buff, hot and cool to have actually read all the books I had before I went out to buy more. But nevertheless, it was time to go book shopping and having recently bought Kurt Vonneguts &lsquo;Player Piano&rsquo; for my book club for the price of $24 I resolved to head for the second-hand stores. I went online did some googling and picked out three bookshops to hit on my little adventure and then planned my routes to each one. I am so glad Melbourne has such a comprehensive public transport network so my not learning to drive doesn&rsquo;t hinder me too much. My attitude going into this was that I would just peruse the stores and hopefully pick out random books that seemed interesting and were relatively short because ya boy has a GoodReads goal to hit.</p> <p><a href="https://medium.com/@snade/my-bookshop-bender-9010afe83d1b"><strong>Read More</strong></a></p>
