Bookarama

Marina from Avonhead

I just came across this article: www.stuff.co.nz...
Now I know why only rubbishy books were available during recent Bookaramas. Who donates their good books to Rotary so booksellers can make a heap of money? Bookarama is a community event, not an opportunity for book sellers to make a huge profit.… View more

Now I know why only rubbishy books were available during recent Bookaramas. Who donates their good books to Rotary so booksellers can make a heap of money? Bookarama is a community event, not an opportunity for book sellers to make a huge profit. Everyone should have the same chances. It's absolute bollocks that they put out more quality books. What they put out at the start is what was donated recently. Once the shelves get empty, they replenish with what was left over from the previous Bookarama. They should only allow bags up to a certain size. That would solve the problem and everyone would have the same chance.

Part counsellor, part comedian and part friend, Angela Crosbie has been a steady ship on some of Christchurch's darkest days.

So when a social media post declared Angela, the “lovely lady” from New World Bishopdale, has her last day at the Christchurch supermarket on Friday, an outpouring of sadness and gratitude followed.

“Oh no,” one woman responded. “She will be sorely missed,” another said, “I must buy her a block of chocolate to say a hearty thanks for being the absolute salt of the earth.”

Are you a regular at New World Bishopdale and know Angela? Share your thoughts in the comments below.

Reporter Nadine Roberts' full story on Angela can be found on The Press' new masthead site, here.
