Anxious people 👍Fredrick Blackman will never let you down all his books are very touching I own several of his books 📚 and they each have memorable characters. Happy reading 📖!
Thank you for sharing your visit to a really nice bookshop. I was surprised that a book that is no longer in print (that book was introduced by a youtuber) is still available at that shop in the banned book section. So cool 😮
thank you for the book shop visit vlog, i've never been to the US ,so this is so nice that i can have a glimpse of it! i loved your videos. new subs here :)
Loved your video - and the ray of sunshine that was behind you while you filmed in the park! 💖 Very pretty. Welcome to America and so glad you're having such a good time with your boyfriend. I live near Niagara Falls, NY, so it takes us about 8 hours to drive to NYC, so we don't go that often. Last time we were there, though, we made sure to stop at The Strand. I brought a list of book titles with me that I couldn't find anywhere else, and they had each and every one of the books I was looking for, so that was fun! And I know what you mean about feeling overwhelmed in that store. It's a lot to take in upon crossing the threshold. As you were video taping the bookstore shelves, I spied a book I want to get for myself!!! So, thank you. The book is "The Unfortunate Life of Worms" and I just got a B&N gift card for $25 which will cover the cost of the book. How delightful is that?!! One last question: how do bookstores in America compare to those in Australia? Safe travels home! 🤗
Thank you so much for your lovely comment! On our trip we visited the Canada side of Niagara Falls and drove from Montreal to NYC so I definitely understand why you don't go often! I loved the cover of that worm book! 😄It looks so interesting and I love that you could book shop through the video haha Let me know how it is once you've read it! To answer your question, it's hard for me to say for sure as I didn't visit a lot of other bookstores in the U.S. But I would say that Aus bookstores have a lot more Aus titles and less U.S. published books. Which translates to a larger selection of general fiction and less fantasy and sci-fi etc (which I am more drawn to) in Aus stores. So a lot of the recommendations I see are sometimes difficult to find in stores! And in the larger book stores, we eventually get a lot of U.S. published books, but it's often a year or two after first publication. So, to find books I want, I have to do more online shopping than in person which I don't prefer! It is getting a little better over time though 😊
I'm at 2000 books on my book giveway at work in 9 months . I thrift them to make sure kids and teens are still reading. My last trip I spent 25 and got 218 books. I'm a host at applebees🎉
It does not matter what a book looks like ... what matters are the words inside the cover ... I have some extremely tatty books that cost a lot, that cost very little and also some very costly books with a most recent purchase of the works of Katherine Mansfield (my favourite writer) being just over 200 pounds ...
I just thrifted a book haul of 293 books for 55 dollars for my book giveway at work. I have given away over 2000 books for babies kids teens and adults in 9 months. I just dropped 5 videos showing the haul . Let's get this generation reading
Strands : the best bookstore ever !! LOVE IT !! Get lost in the stacks and Enjoy. ❤❤.

If u ever get the chance visit the Last Bookstore in LA. Its the loveliest most wonderful bookstore in the world
From seeing the pictures I can only imagine 😍 definitely top of my list for when I (hopefully) go there one day! 🤗
Lovely video. I have 3 white dots on the side of my foot from my cats claw when I was a kid and I smile whenever I notice it decades later. :)
Aww I really love that you have that reminder 💙🤗
