So this is about a cute little bookstore on Church Street in Bangalore called Blossom Book House.
It's pretty easy to locate.
So the specialty of this place, is that it gives you a feel of a cozy library where you can spend hours and hours without anyone disturbing you.
It has a collection of all genres of books. New and second-hand.
The other good thing is that you can give away all your old books (childhood books, or stuff that you're done reading.) and take away new ones. They also give you a voucher for redeeming later if you're not able to buy many books at one go. Plus the second-hand books are much cheaper!
An amazing thing about second-hand books is that, there's already a feeling attached to them. Something strange, something nice.
Some book would've been a birthday gift.
Some book would've been a friend to someone in need.
Some book would've been read with happy thoughts in mind, some by a depressed soul.
When you read such books, there's a kind of connect that you feel, with the previous owner of the book.
I once found a Harry Potter book which was gifted by a dad to his beloved daughter, on her eleventh birthday with a short message on the first page.
There was another book, which had notes written all throughout about the story. I think it was the interpretation of the reader, about the book.
The bookstore, just takes you to a world of your own.
I haven't tried their online shopping, cuz the store is so much better! :)
So if you love reading, check this place out!
