The Youth Writers Awards Asia 2010 is a competion brought to you by Reader’s Digest Asia and the National Library Broad. This year’s theme is “Dare 2 Dream: Stories of Imagination, Passion and Sporting Excellence” because Singapore will be hosting the 2010 Youth Olympic Games. Here’s some info from the ad, which you can find [...] The library used book sale is back! Basically the NLB takes all its old books and puts them on sale for really cheap. Date: 22 and 23 August Books are going for cheap! English books are $2, while magazines are going for $5 for ten issues. Prices vary according [...] Yesterday I was at Polymath & Crust for Reading Between the Lions, also called Writer Flash Mob Takes Over Club Street (it was semi-secret and somewhat impromptu, what can I say?).
Polymath & Crust is located at 86 Club Street – look for the white storefront with “Polymath & Crust” written on the glass door. It’s the sister bookstore to Books Actually, the renowned indie bookstore at Ann Siang Road. Polymath & Crust specialises in non-fiction – from political science to food books (in the vein of Anthony Bourdain’s A Cook’s Tour) and everything inbetween. Polymath & Crust is at Club Street, which is (literally) a stone’s throw from Books Actually. iterally a stone’s throw. Find a stone, take a few steps to the side so you’re standing by the road, and throw. If your aim is good enough, the stone’ll land right in front of Polymath & Crust. Admittedly, it’d have to be a rather hard throw, but they never mention how hard you’d have to throw in the first place. Anyway! This was my first time at Polymath & Crust, so I wasn’t sure what to expect. It is a glorious place. P&C is spectacular – slightly bigger than Books Actually with more space to walk around in. This is the type of bookstores that appear in romantic movies and novels, which basically made it the perfect setting. |
