Last week, I was in gorgeous Italy for a short break with my family and as an avid reader, could not resist looking out for bookshops even as my eyes were taking in the beautiful sights around me. I came across three and there are:
1) Libreria Mondadori, Firenze:
2) Giunti al Punto libreria, Firenze: There is a small English book section to the side of the store. It is nothing to shout about but if you have run out of books to read, you can get some good ones here. I discovered four new authors here. My favourite store of the three.
3) Artemisia libri&books, Pisa International Airport: I did not see this bookshop on the day of my arrival probably because I was prowling for food but it was opened on the day I was leaving for home sweet home.
To wrap this up, I was extremely chuffed to find four previously-unknown-to-me Italian authors but decided not to get their books at the time as they cost around €11 each - only applies to the books I was checking out. Most probably I will get them from the reliable Amazon.co.uk when the time is right as I have a huge pile of books to read before I can think of any new ones. Here they are:
4) The Whisperer by Donato Carrisi
5) A Thousand Days In Tuscany: A Bittersweet Adventure by Marlena de Blasi
6) I'm Not Scared by Niccolo Ammaniti
7) A Fortune-Teller Told Me: Earthbound Travels In The Far East by Tiziano Terzani
Have you visited any of the bookshops or read any of the books I mentioned at all?
