It’s been quite sometime since I visited a bookstore. I have visited Barnes and Noble’ s kiddie nook area with my daughter as she decided on which 2 books to purchase.

It was last year that I visited a bookstore. Nowadays, I have shifted to e-books. But, I still long to read printed books.

I have stopped going to bookstore since I started reading e-books. But, I would love to go there at times. It's been more than one year.

I last visited a bookstore 2 days ago. We recently moved into an apartment only blocks from one...it will be a frequent stop, I suspect.

A few weeks ago. I try to stay away from temptation when I know I don't have money to spare 😅

The last time I was in a bookstore was probably a month ago. I like to go to this one bookstore near the college campus in my hometown. It's full of old, used books. My parents brought me there when I was young. In high school, I would often go to that bookstore with my friends and read for hours. My best friend once found a first edition copy of Lolita for $60 there. Not to mention that the layout of the bookstore is super weird. The bookshelves are all super tall and reach the ceiling. the aisles are narrow and often cluttered with stacks of books laying on the ground. There are wooden ramps in the back that lead to a "second story" and small alcoves where people can read and hide. It's always very quiet because very few people know about the place. It's very nice.

This week! Although I love my Kindle and buy most of my books on it because I live in a small French village with a bookstore that doesn't stock any English books, I do love me a good browse around and sniff of a bookstore.
I also read in French so I buy from them when I want a French book.

It's actually been a couple weeks, which is unusual for me. Usually I go once a week. Even if I'm just browsing the bargain section, I just love to be in a bookstore.

Unfortunately the last time I visited a bookstore was before the pandemic began. I love bookstores for their smell and atmosphere. They are usually quiet, unassuming and allow you to freely get lost in the aisles!

It was a couple of months ago. I was looking for a children's book though I didn't find one there.
