We have a half price bookstore here in Washington. I love finding books at a great price. I went yesterday ^.^

I love going to bookstores. I used to go to Borders all the time as a kid before it was closed down. I last went to Barnes and Noble about a month ago just for something to do. It always passes the time nicely :)

Unfortunately, it's been a few years!
While I do adore bookstores, I just haven't had the chance to go, you know?

It's always nice to go to a bookstore. That said, it's been a year or two.

It was some six years ago. I think that library will fit my needs for some 100+ years so no need to buy books. By the way they are quite expensive.

In my town there is two bookstores on the opposite side of town then I live. So I would have to say it has been about a month since I visited the bookstore, but I have purchased books online since then.

I went to the bookstore yesterday and bought "The Crown" by Kiera Cass. I saved money for this book for almost a month and I can't wait to start reading it.

This past weekend I went to Half Priced Books. I usually try to go there about every other weekend or so- since their inventory is always changing. It is also nice because if I have bought a book that I won't re-read, it gives me the opportunity to sell it back.

Probably two months ago.......... I much prefer reading book descriptions online and then choosing books. However, when I travel, I like to check out local bookstores and their regional sections.

You can't tell but as I am typing this I am gleaming with pride when I type that I am either at a bookstore or a library once a week. Sometimes I go to both in one week! Although, if I have my way, I would rather be in a used bookstore than a new one. Walking into a small used bookstore and seeing the tidal wave of books enclosing in on me and smelling the years of aging paper makes me giddy.

To answer the question though, the last time I was in a bookstore was last week to buy Rebel Spring by Morghan Rhodes :)

Longer ago than I wish. I like to buy books for Christmas presents. I do a lot of shopping on Amazon though.

The last time I visited a bookstore was during Christmas break. I went to Barnes and Noble with my sister and bought a daily drawing journal. This post actually reminded me about that journal. I should go start drawing!
