I was at Barnes and Noble yesterday. I didn't get anything, but it was nice just being surrounded by books. It's very calming, and I hope I can go more often. I only wish they had some of the books I'm looking for, but I'll probably need to go to Half-Price Books for those.

Latest Review: "Sonar The Cyclone" by B Truly

Post by Topcho »

Last weekend. Like SarcasticRaven, I didn't buy anything - and it was hard, believe me! I am trying to behave and not get new reads, untill my TBR mountain starts to melt. Still, I like going to the bookstore, especially those cafe-bookstores. It is warm and calm amd it is so nice to have a sip of coffee or chocolate with a book. Also, I like testing myself, lol!

The last time I visited a bookstore was November 2015, we generally take our kids to a bookstore on their birthdays to pick out a book or two. My oldest is soon to be 6, so hopefully our local bookstore is still open! 8)

I love bookstores, the smell especially. I like going to Barnes and noble just to see what books are popular, and sometimes finding good sales. the last time I went is about a month ago. Its hard to go to the bookstore and 15 dollars on a book when I can go to the library and check it out for free. If there was a discount bookstore around me I'm sure I would frequent it much more often.

I had the absolute pleasure of visiting Powell's Bookstore in Portland, Oregon this month. I was traveling for business, and spent three of my four nights browsing the shelves there.

It was super cool.

It has been a couple weeks, unfortunately. I went to Barnes and Noble to purchase a few books for my daughter's first birthday, a book for my other daughter who accompanied me, and a book for myself. While we love going to bookstores, the libraries are more of a regular hotspot for us. If I bought every book I've ever read, we would be swimming in books and broke! I tend to only buy near special occasions.

Last time I was in a bookstore was two weeks ago. I went to a used bookstore with my 10 years old son (he loves books too!) I purshased a John Bevere book. My son bought two adventure novels. I love buying, reading and giving books! I prefer the paper version. I can't get enough of the smell and the touch!

It was maybe two weeks ago. I was on my HOSA trip with my friends leaving a Chinese place, and I saw it. I some how managed to drag my friends there, and I am so glad I did. The whole place was full of new and old books all for a relatively cheap price. I was able to buy three books for only $7. I bought The Da Vinci Code, which is a fabulous page turner. I also bought Three Weeks with My Brother and Cemetery Girl.
