Have you ever heard about a floating bookfair?
I first learned about it when I was in College in my hometown. There's this ship called, Logos Hope, which sails around the world. And yes, it is a bookstore in a ship! I remember going there 3x!
For years, there were times when I would wonder if it still exists or when it will be back in the PH.
Then a few weeks ago, I bumped into this post online about this floating bookfair inside the ship named, Doulos Hope. According to their website, Doulos Hope is the latest addition to the GBA Ships fleet!
When I learned that they will be docking in Manila Port, I knew I had to go and visit!!! I quickly invited my bookworm friend. Haha
What I love about visiting these floating bookstores aside from the unique experience is their book selection! They are unique and beautiful! Plus, they are affordable, given their qualityyy.
In this visit, my friend and I mainly scanned through the children's books section. As expected, we wanted to bring home everything! HAHAHA Not only are the stories unique. The illustrations are VERY BEAUTIFUL!
I am so happy to be back in this floating book fair! And it was extra fun because I experienced it with my friend who enjoyed it equally. hehe
Doulos Hope will be in Manila Port until April 14. But last time I checked their website, all slots are already full. Their next stop will be in Batangas, from April 16-28!
Stay sane and safe!
Let's spread happiness.
