I am not yet done for the day! 😃 Today has been an interesting walk... my happy feet seems to know where the most happening place is and found myself at another happy place! National Bookstore in Mango Avenue 😃 where they are currently having their 2019 Book Binge Bazaar. I immediately sent photos and sale alert to my fellow bookworms who might also want to take this book binge opportunity ☺️ #ginnysjournal #bookworm #booklover #happyplace #happyfeet
