I was going so well, I didn’t buy anything at all during the week. Then I decided to visit the Federation Square Book Market on Saturday. It had always been on my radar, but for the past couple of years I’ve worked every Saturday so I’ve never been able to go. Oh, my! Cheap books. Good cheap books. Friendly stall-holders. Relaxed atmosphere. Cheap books bears repeating. I’m hooked. I won’t be able to afford to go every week, but I am definitely going to make it a somewhat regular book shopping treat.

Isn’t the Book Market the best?! I can’t afford to go every weekend too because I know I’ll never leave empty handed. We live in a pretty decent city that sympathises with us bibliophiles!
