A Good Read

Currently reading "Just enough French". A journey around rural France with great recipes at the end of each chapter. It was was bought at Megalong Bookstore, in Leura. Just finished reading "Neither here nor there" by Bill Bryson about his travels around Europe, also bought at Megalong. J and I love all his books, they are so easy to read and make you laugh. At lunch time I am reading Europe : coach touring and travel journal, a complete guide by Craig Hill - which is good for answering all the questions you might have about coach travel before you go. On the front cover is a picture of the Eiffel Tower and Michaela tells me she is going to climb right to the top. Michaela only wants to go to France as that is where EuroDisney is. Our favourite bookstores include Dymocks and Angus and Robertson . A local favourite is the Electric Shadows in Civic, Canberra which has a wide range of books and videos. It has the art house cinema next door.

My children know nearly all the bookshops in Canberra, when we go to one they dive into the children's section and they can stay there for hours, it is great.

I really like the ones that provide you with a coffee shop in the bookstore, such as the fifth floor at Myer's in George Street Sydney and the Borders store at Westfield Tuggerah, which I visited last weekend.

Despite visiting Electric Shadows and Angus and Robertson bookshops I can report that we did not buy a book or a DVD this weekend!!! Talking of A&R it is now where WH Smith was in the Canberra Centre, can anyone tell me where WH Smith has gone?
