Just before the end of the year, we headed off to Kangaroo Island, far from the madding crowd. I was totally unprepared for the sweeping vistas, endless blue sky, breath-taking beaches, fresh produce, and lovingly prepared food we found in our long drives.
There’s always a gem which makes a trip extraordinary. For me, it was this marvellous bookshop which serendipitously, was located a stone’s throw from where we were staying. I knew of this store from an article in theWakefield Press but to my delicious surprise, I stumbled upon it while we were waiting for our apartment to be cleaned.
I was overwhelmed and did not know where to look when I entered the bookshop. Polished shelves, great display, and books which I wanted to slowly peruse.
It also had an interesting gallery at the back.

Wow! What a beautiful bookshop! Wish we have one like this here in our neighborhood. Sadly, “Fully Booked is closing 3 stores this Jan & Feb. Thank you for sharing this...and for your book reviews and feature stories on other bookshops you visited. Keep it up!
ALL THE BEST! ❤️😊😊🎉👍👍
You are a sweetheart, miss caffeinated reader! It was a privilege to meet you and your wonderful young blogging assistant. We are so fortunate to be able to sustain my little piece of bookshop heaven by pairing it with our print business. I'll always stock books and it'll only close once I reach about 97, so here's to seeing you regularly on KI for the next 50 years!
Improvements happen day by day - we have a big bookshop sign and banner out the front now!
