23-01-25 BOOKFESTS
I picked up a fair few books at a bookfest the other day. Bookfests are an interesting experience. Looking through hundreds of books in massive crowds is both engaging and exhausting. Each book you decide to pick up says a little bit about yourself. Occasionally I'll find a book that makes me feel sad by only looking at it's subject, reminding me of my worries, fears, and joys. Everything I bought says something about my interests, so I thought it would be useful to share so whoever reads this can grasp an idea of what I'm about.
