    And it was funny seeing so many things going wrong xD so relatable, things always keep going wrong with me too!

    Just to clear something up - Readings is not a chain/franchise, it’s the largest independent booksellers in Australia, although all of their shops are in Melbourne, first one opened in Carlton over 50 years ago. There’s even one in St Kilda where you were staying. (I’m a children’s bookseller at their Kids shop! 😊) Would’ve been extra cool to see you pick up some Australian literature that you wouldn’t see back home while you were here! Glad you enjoyed your time!

    So fun seeinng you exploring Melbourne! Been living here since 2018 and it's so nice.
    Funny thing about the Hill of Content name: They just released a tote bag that says "Is it... Hill of Content or... Hill of Content?" which I love. Hill of Content and Paperback books are so lovely, the CBD Dymocks has a greta selection as well.
    Coffees are outstanding everywhere, cocktails are great but man they are expensive.

    My friend and I want to go to Melbourne now just to do the witchy spinny wheel there lol Also personally when I travel I definitely experience of the panic of my suitcase not closing good so I got into the bad habit of using my backpack as my dirty laundry bag so I could fit more of my purchases into the suitcase. Also in the future you may want to invest in space saving bags, specifically the ones you squeeze all the air out of.

    OMG Gavin I got so excited when I saw Flinders Station.😂❤It takes me back to my time as an exchange student. The stopover in Manila was a nightmare. I'm so happy that you had such a blast over there. I assume you're back in the UK by now. I might start reading The Academy of Liars soon although it might be a bit out of my comfort zone as I mostly read books in the horror or thriller genre but I'm intrigued about the dark academia vibes.
