This Saturday (the 10th) is National Bookshop Day here in Aus, which means a whole bunch of bookshops will be putting on their party hats and hosting little events. So if you've got time, I'd say to go and see if you local store is doing anything. You might end up getting yourself a free book (or if you're lucky, free cupckes!)
These are some of the places that are definitely doing someting.
