Near Farringdon station, London, June 2024
I was delighted to meet this guy, Alexander, this week as I headed towards the Barbican – his love for books and his positive personality brightened my evening. He is often in this area so do watch out for him – he has a great little selection of books that change regularly. And once you buy from him you are become a “member of his book club” and can always swap your book once you have enjoyed it.
Now over to all of you. Do come and join us in our Saturday six-word musings.
I’ll admit that many of us openly break the numeric rule and share far more words (all excellent of course!) so the key rule is to have a title of six words – and then create around that the post that you desire! Perhaps in bunches of 6 words if you’re feeling inspired.
To join the challenge, please put a link in your post to the URL of this post. Then come back here and leave us a comment. If you have any problems with linking, just put your own URL into the comment. And do feel free to socialise digitally with the hashtags #SixWordSaturday and #6WS. You’ll find me on Instagram @travel_travel_with_intent and @dsmythphoto

love the idea of the book club, but seems he has a hard life. Here’s mine: https://suejudd.com/2024/06/22/an-atmospheric-small-corner-of-surrey/

Oh we have this kind of sellers in India too! It’s a good business model for both the seller and the reader 😀 (may be not for the writer and the publisher though). My entry here:

He’s is a really nice guy who’s faced a lot of problems in his life, but always seems to have a smile on his face. Hadn’t seen him around for over a year, glad to see he’s ok http://alondonmiscellany.blog/2024/06/22/who-put-the-to-in-tower/

Interesting. But small sellers are on their way out. Case in point: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2024/06/22/first-this-than-that-now-this/

But you didn’t buy it. Did you??

No. But later I wished I had. It was about her brother so might have been interesting. But sad. He died young in WW2. His brother died the day before him. And their father died in WW1.

What a nice idea to be able to swap books as well.

Yes, he was a very positive person. I’m sure most people give him money for a swap too.

Does that earn him a living, Debs? I love the initiative and the idea.
LikeLike
No. Hopefully it gets him enough for a bit of food and maybe a night in a hostel occasionally.
