Readings Bookstore, Hawthorn, Melbourne
Couldn't resist taking a shot of this young woman in the YA section of the wonderful Readings Bookstore in Hawthorn. I wonder if she found what she was looking for?
While in Melbourne for the holiday weekend I have also visited Artisan Books, Books for Cooks and Horton Books all of which I will write about over coming days.
Readings is a fantastic bookshop - a great range of titles, and very supportive of local authors.

The Carlton branch always challenges my baggage allowance!
