Today is National Bookshop Day so if you’re a fan of books, pop out to your local bookshop, browse the shelves and buy a book or two to show your support. I remember this time last year I was in Melbourne and bought a couple of books from a lovely bookshop/cafe. Unfortunately there are no bookshops in my town (I would love to run a bookshop/cafe … when I win the lotto!!) so my girls and I went to our local second hand bookshop – Book in Hand. We were there scouting around for nearly an hour and came home with eight children’s picture books. Next week we will venture out to Dymocks as I want to buy my nephew “Sebastian lives in a Hat” by Thelma Catterwell, illustrated by Kerry Argent.
Are you buying any books today? What did you purchase?
We bought a couple of train books today for our Princesses out in California. I didn’t know that it was Bookshop Day!

That worked out well! What train books did you buy? My nephew loves trains, especially Thomas the Tank Engine.
