Second Hand Bookstores- A Visit to Elizabeth's Bookshop
A literary blog following my reading journey in 2014 as I read 52 books in 52 weeks. Book
reviews are posted weekly for fiction and non-fiction books. I welcome recommendations as I try and expand my usual reading selections.
Breaking from my tradition of reviewing books on All Booked Up 2014, I thought I would do aBONUS! review of a bookstore and share some photos from my visit to the lovely Elizabeth’s Bookshop on Pitt Street in Sydney, Australia.
The staff were friendly and very knowledgeable- the man serving me on the day I visited was just the right ratio of hipster to booklover- and it is a great place to visit to loose yourself and find a great read.
Elizabeth’s Bookshop is charming, and exactly what a bookshop should be. Carrying on with my usual rating at the end of the blog post, Elizabeth’s gets
5 out of 5 stars.
For those of you who remember- I started my blog by waxing lyrical about my Kindle. But what my challenge of reading 52 books this year has taught me, is to appreciate the printed book. I have remembered how much I love browsing through old bookshops. I still appreciate my Kindle, especially when reading huge novels like The Goldfinch or The Luminaries (do all big books have to start with ‘The’?), but I am also now growing to love real books and bookshops again. Thanks to Elizabeth’s Bookshop for reminding me how great bookshops can be!
