RE: Qurator's Mischievous Mondays | How many...?

in #mischievousmondays • last year

As the wife owns an online bookshop, there is only one mass of things I could post a picture of!
My house is full of books. I sleep on books, there are books everywhere, so here is just small selection of the many thousands she has in stock.

I could have also done a crowd shot of Ikea Billy bookshelves too. At last count, we had 17 in all.

Thanks for a great competition that provides a bit of fun on a dreary Monday morning.

Best wishes :-)

    How is the online bookstore going? I hope it is not too much of a headache.

      To be honest, its very poor recently. We've been running for 8 years, importing from the UK but since Covid, have seen very little sales. There are now far too many people here selling very cheap Chinese copies so we can't compete on price. I do think that all traditional booksellers are experiencing problems but in Thailand, locally written novels are still very popular as is gay romance which has a huge following amongst both the straight and gay reading communities. At least with online channels, it doesn't take much work.

        That's what I thought. Thanks for sharing the picture and your story. There are a lot of writers and a lot of information on line. It seems to sell books today takes some sort of following.

        You hit the nail on the head. The 'fan' scene for local Thai novelists is incredible. They do online giveaways, advance free pages of their new works and there a huge collectible market. Real cult following !

        Thanks again for dropping by :-)
