RE: Market Friday Goes to the Bookstore
Once upon a time hits you right in the face....beautiful words. I love this type of bookstore. Book already allow you to travel, to another country, time, culture.But this type of bookstore in itself is an adventure! Lovely @dswigle . My favourite books are the type that take you back in time. I love the old west settings but also the old fashioned Dickens and Gaskell or Bronte sisters. Currently working my way through Agatha Christie!
Thank you! It is always what I feel like when I go into a bookstore, there is a story inside...somewhere. I love used books, I can only imagine how many minds have traveled places within those pages. Of course, I also loved Borders and it was a sad day in my life when they shuttered those doors, forever closing off my couch and coffee mecca.
But, the settings here only enhance my already running mind. Agatha Christie! Oh, yes. I just finished reading The Man in the Brown Suit There are so many brilliant stories written! Thank you for visiting #MarketFriday!
Tip!
Borders closed?! Why! When I lived in the States I bought a LOT of books. I had to then pay a LOT when I returned to SA with all my books. Then I lived in England for a few years and visited their wonderful second hand book stores....and bought a LOT of books....
I meant the Borders that was a new bookstore. They closed a few years back as Amazon took over and Borders had turned them down years ago to be their supplier/shipper. So when the world went shopping online, many of the stores like that shut their doors, sdly.
I miss my place on their couch, by the fireplace, sipping a cappuccino with my words.
Sigh.
So is it South Africa for good now? I have traveled since I left college and can honestly say that life is a wonderful adventure!
Life is a wonderful adventure @dswigle. I can't say I don't get the wanderlust every now and then. But my husband and I would love to buy a tiny home on wheels and travel that way. Something really unique and doable with children. So, yes, SA for good, for now, but if you're following the news (what may leak out) things are really bad here at the moment. I am not a fan of politics but there's no denying the white genocide in this beautiful country. I wrote my last post about it, simply because I feel that the world at large is oblivious of the truth
I did read your last post, but, I went back and looked and there is no comment, so it is most likely when steem isn't working. Usually, that is during #MarketFriday! :)
Things are not good there and I have friends that live there also. Oh, how things have changed there. The leaks are little, but, I get government warnings on places that are verboten. I can liken it to when one of the former Soviet countries was having the same issue and the world turned a blind eye.
Totally disgusting. Please take great care and stay safe.
It is totally disgusting! But you are right about leaks being verboten. Thank you @dswigle
