There are a number of independent bookstores in Victoria and today I’d like to introduce you to my favourite one.
Books and Shenanigans is in Cook Street village. Kerri opened this family run bookstore 3 years ago and I cannot imagine Cook Street without it.
The staff are friendly and knowledgeable. Like all the indie bookstores they will order in books for you if they do not have it.
Books and Shenanigans sells new and used books, as well as puzzles and cheeky cards. They try to promote local authors whenever possible, and also carry local products, like candles and crochet hats.
They also run a number of different book clubs, and reading retreats.
One of the things I like about this bookstore is that they have a points system. One gets points for buying books from them and credit for bringing used books to them.
I also like going in and discussing the latest book I read with the staff who are nice enough to listen and tell me what they thought of the book and a recommendation for the next good read.
