Come Book Shopping With Me at Book Grocer and City Basement Books in Melbourne

Ойын-сауық

Come book shopping with me as I explore the bookstores of Melbourne. This morning I wanted to head into Northcote which is a northern suburb of Melbourne. However, best laid plans....I got there too early (shops didn't open until 11am) so I headed back into the city to go to a couple of bookstores.
So I visited the Book Grocer on Queen Street and also the massive underground second hand book store called City Basement Books.

Please go and check these stores out if you're in Melbourne.
I'll be exploring more bookstores in our city, the City of Literature, so feel free to share your favourite stores too.

    The underground basement book store was definitely what I have always dreamt of. A perfect book store with rain pouring outside and a cup of coffee sipped to make me warm while I browse through the titles endlessly. Thank you for documenting this visit of yours. It truly touched the inner crevices of my heart and made me so very happy:)

    What a fun video! I wish I could go book hunting with you in Melbourne sometime! (Not likely to happen since I'm on the other side of the planet.) Thanks for taking me along via video!

    Hello!!! Hope your writing is going well? Yes, I think this City Basement tour would have been right up your alley with all the non-fiction books stacked on shelves and floors and every nook and cranny. At least you can come along virtually. Happy writing :-)

    Such a nice video! It was really cool going book hunting with you! Nice books you bought. The Penguin Classics are always tempting to buy, right? I just recently purchased 24 Hours in the Life of a Woman by Stefan Zweig, and I'm really curious to read it. The "Fear of Fifty" book was really funny!

    The Good Soldier, wonderful book. I think I commented that I have it next to Great Gatsby and The Age of Innocence. When I read one I read the other two.

    Interesting, I'm looking forward to reading it. I think I'll read it this year. I haven't read Age of Innocence but I'll keep that in mind to read both close together. Great Gatsby was good too. I think I did a review of that too on this channel.

    @@LifeLessonsFromBooks All three books have many things in common which I won't mention here to not spoil anything. The Good Soldier was the first Ford book I read and it led me to his quartet of novels collected as Parade's End. It's one of my favorite books. A few years ago the BBC did a faithful adaptation starring Benedict Cumberbach.

I have been collecting all the books that viewers of this channel have been suggesting to me to read and adding them to the GoodReads Collection so these will be what I will refer to anytime I'm at a library or shop to find these books.

    Done. Noted. I have to get to Brunswick one day soon. I haven't been since 2019 when my friend and I went to all the places that were in the movie starring a young Sam Neill called "Death in Brunswick". We re-enacted scenes from the movie and also spoke to the guy who owned the crazy blue and white house. As my friend doesn't show her face online, it was me being an idiot most of the time. kzread.info/dash/bejne/kZaZtrtxfpOzl7A.html Yes, a visit to the Brunswick bookstore and a jaunt down Sydney Road is in order.
