I Absolutely Love Bookstores

I'm all for the latest advances in technology, but those e-readers. I don't see what all the buzz is about. They don't have the smell of books, nor the space required to house thousands of books. Paper books have beautiful covers, that...

I can seriously get lost for hours in a good bookstore or library!  Books have been an escape for me since I can remember.  Now...onto the library in my home.....

You need to get rid of me for a few hours? Show me a bookstore and do whatever you need to do. Then come back when you're ready to go. I'll be there, probably with my nose in a book I just bought. If it's anything by John Jakes, I'll be...

I could spend hours in a bookstore. I want my eyes to skim over every book because what if I miss something great? Then, when I feel intrigued by a title, I have to pull the book off the shelf and read the back cover, and then I have to...

New book stores, used book stores, remainder tables, bargain tables, flea markets, garage sales, those sad, worn shelves in the back of thrift stores; all of these are dangerous places for me; not just because I am very likely to spend...

I don't know what it is. The fact you are surrounded by thousands of words, lives, histories, cultures, traditions.

There is something about a bookstore that is almost magical. That sense of calm when you enter the store, the...

Our local WHSmith's is actually a beautiful building. The front section of it has these old stained glass windows of things it used to sell. It's got quite a tall roof, and there's a lot of light. It's mostly wooden, and the floorboards...

I love browsing in libraries, bookstores, used bookstores included. I had a package to pick up at the post office at lunch, no one in line so it took less than 5 minutes. There is a small used bookstore that accepts books for credit for...

I love books, the feel, the smell, the sound of ruffling pages of a book. It is like medicine to a sick man or woman.
Too much? I think not.
But if it is, it's all Redig's fault.
Redig was a bookstore where you could buy books cheaply...

I really like going to used bookstores. Especially the ones that look like they belong on Diagon Alley in Harry Potter. Bookcases to the ceiling, lots of little nooks where they shoved a bookself to make the best use of the space...

I have developed a serious addiction to books. I all ready have way more, than I have time to read but somehow, I still manage to keep bringing in more. A couple of times, I've even had to give away some boxes of books that I didn't...

I'm not sure what it is, but bookstores feel like home to me. I can easily spend hours there & even volunteered at one for over two years simply because I loved it there.
The smell of the books, the sounds of pages being turned, the...

I bought a kindle about a year ago that I love reading on it is so convenient to be able to buy any book whenever I want. But after about a year of only reading books on this kindle I found that I missed the smell and the feel of...

I love book stores because to me it is a exciting place to be. I can spend hours looking through books. There are so many choices and I love to look at all the different book covers. Sometimes you find books that  says just the...

You open the door of the nearest bookstore and walk in. The volume of the babble outside slowly recedes away and you feel the quietude around when the door’s closes. There’s a stillness of low voices and the turning of pages. It’s...

As much as I love to roam the stacks in a big chain store, looking for the brand spanking new, fresh, crisp, virginal copy of whatever tops my list that week, I also really love to rummage through the musty shelves of a used book store...

I love to go to the bookstore and one day my 15 year old daughter decided to come with me. I parked the car in front of our local Borders (this was way before they all closed) and we walked into the entryway. They always have shelves...

I love bookstores...so much that I can spend hours in there. If I'm busy and have lots to do then I have to avoid going in them or I'll get nothing done. However if I have a load of time on my hands I will be in there all day!

I love reading. But I find very little time to do it. I like fiction books, books you can get lost in and make your own world. I spent like, 3 weeks last summer reading the hunger games books. I just could not stop reading them. Then...

not exactly.. eheheh

but every time I see bookstores I will surely stare for long.... and when I am inside, look everywhere and see everything.. and love the smell of the books.
