So many bookstores I would love to visit!!! I’d like to add Constant Reader in Crows Nest, NSW because they are incredibly support of local authors and put on lots of fab events (I am completely biased since I’ll be doing an event with them next week)! https://constantreader.com.au/
There are soooo many! Thank you for adding Constant Reader (I wonder if the name is a nod to John le Carre's The Constant Gardener?) and hope you have a magnificent time doing your event there next week.
So many great sounding bookshops, a lot I don't know! A favourite of mine (even though not small and boutiquey!) is Kinokuniya in Sydney for its huge art/design section, Japanese stationary and even a cafe. And sometimes they have art/illustration exhibitions in a small gallery space.
Bookshops are wonderful and horrible places for me. I love being transported into another world and adore books but, I get so overwhelmed. I want to read everything, there's so much choice and "ooo shiny" and I never seem to have enough time to spend. As for 'Braiding Sweatgrass', it is my favourite book and I will return to it again and again. I bought Robin's latest book about the humble service berry and I was so inspired, I bought two service berries and planted them in the garden.
I am planning to get the Service Berry book, too - she has so much to say and this sounds like a beautiful approach. I love that you have planted some. As for bookshops - I do get what you mean. I often have to tell myself that I have a specific purpose, otherwise browsing can become a very expensive pastime!

That does sound lovely! I’m guessing it has a Japanese theme? Thanks for sharing it - I’ll add it to my list!
Just looked it up! The original store in Japan is about to celebrate its 100th anniversary? WOW! Very exciting.
A lovely read, as always, Cate.
Thanks, Pat. I’m glad you enjoyed reading it!
