Come along and let’s go book shopping! I’m taking you around some of my local spots and their quirky bookshops!
I’ve been living in Cornwall now for about a year and a half. After growing up and living most of my life in cities, it was a culture shock in more ways than one when I moved here. Among many other things, something I really missed was the variety of shops!
When I lived in Leicester, I had about 5 second hand bookshops within a 5 minute walk from my house. In Birmingham, a trip to the city centre would take me to two huge Waterstones. Now, I find that I have to look a little harder!
On the flip side, what you get in Cornwall is unique, quirky and so well loved. And you get an ocean view!
Watch my video below for some of my local favourites – and ones to check out if you’re visiting.
P.S. Let me know in the comments what your favourite/best second hand book find was! Mine was a 70s box set of Lord of the Rings (which you’ll see at the end of the video!).
