The Dymocks bookshop which has been in my parents' shopping centre for over 25 has recently closed down and disappeared without warning. Always a big disappointment when something like this happens. But glad you're keeping up your part in the crusade with your new titles.Paula Vincehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02079952414990463270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2208627029605402728.post-2212525799433698892018-04-30T10:58:26.567+10:002018-04-30T10:58:26.567+10:00Thanks so much Hazel for your lovely blog.

I look forward to reading your books. The titles are intriguing. I love what you said that books open our minds to knowledge, understanding and joy. Congratulations on your books! Thanks for sharing Hazel and all the best to your future writing!

A good point too, I think, that we need to be wise about what books we choose to read--what enriches us in some way or feeds our spirit or perhaps even challenges us. The books we choose don't always have to be heavy reads--we all love to escape and relax with a book at times. But I still think we need to be selective, as you say.
