Magic of a bookstore
I haven't been to a bookstore all year due to the pandemic and I forgot how much happiness it brings me.
This week, I went to the highly anticipated new Dymocks store, in the Regent Arcade in Rundle Mall.聽
Dymocks Adelaide is pleasing to the eye, adorned with wooden arches and a classical colour palette. The new store is perfectly located in a beautiful and expansive room. This makes it optimal for photographs, though in my opinion there were聽too听尘补苍测 Instagrammers taking photos for their stories rather than looking at the book selection!
I went to Dymocks with my friend, and we extensively perused the beautiful shelves. Truly a book lovers haven! I was pleasantly surprised by the large amount of non-fiction books, including on photography, art, and fashion. The fiction section was just as glorious, though I tried to avoid it because I know that I can't be tamed when it comes to purchasing novels. Somehow I restrained myself and managed to leave without buying a book (I was unfortunate to have left my vouchers at home). Though I eyed off quite a few, and added them to my Goodreads account to come back to later.
Since the store opened this week, I was quite overwhelmed with the amount of people so chose to not stay for long. But even so, I am looking forward to properly checking it out when it is less chaotic. Next time that I'm free after class and want a little pick-me-up, I know where I'm heading.
