Another one from our last visited to Reefton. If there's something I love it's a good second hand bookshop and although most shops in the town are a bit pricey, I did manage to find a thick book "A column of fire" by Ken Follett. My favourite books to read are biographies and historical. If you read what's your favourite?
Linking up with Weekend Reflections and the Weekend Roundup.

Hi there. A second hand bookshop is a marvellous place. It's so nice to be able to browse through the shelves and find cheap reading. I love our library of used books . Most are in Greek or Scandinavian but I always find an English book or two to read and we can take the books back when we have read them
Heaven!
I enjoy Ken Follett. I either use the library or browse through the second hand books in a charity shop to find my reading material.
The long shadows suggest it is either early morning or late afternoon. I'll be morning as the sidewalk is vacant
It is even rarer to spot a second hand book store these days
...it's good to see store being OPEN these day after the lock down.
Oh for a second-hand bookshop near me. Love browsing the titles and the prices can't be beat.
I love to read and I'm also a writer. The best book I've read lately is Horse by Geraldine Brooks. Happy Friday!
I´m with you! On our travels throughout Australia we went (to Ingo´s dismay) into every second hand bookshop we came across! I even found Leonard Nimoy´s first biography "I am not Spock"!
To be honest... Ii don´t know if Braunschweig has even one store... I miss them.
We get most of our books at a charity shop. If I come across a book I want to keep, I buy it online.
I like finding second-hand books in small towns.
It looks a bit like Methven - empty main street at lunch time!
I like used book stores also, my favorite is in London, UK. There they expect some to come and read, they have reading niches all over the place.
My favorite reading, either mystery or to finish my book of Mark Twain letters from his European cruise, it was long, long, like 50 some daily letters to his CLifornia newspaper contracted for publishing.

Oh yes, I had that from the college library until I left and had to turn it in. Later, retired, I bought one off eBay for $5 postpaid. Don't know when I'll ever finish it.

Yes secondhand bookshops are great we had one in my town. I hope you have a lovely week ahead
I require another bookshelf, so I'll have to not buy books for now.
