It's been months since I've been to a big book store. That used to be what I did for fun as a teenager- sad. I do frequent my local used book store. It's a good one stocked with cats and a cantankerous lady that sees everything. I also like to scope thrift stores and garage sales for literary treasures. Still, most of my books are purchased online.

I work as a librarian, so I think the last time I visited a bookstore was about a year ago. I have a tradition of purchasing books to read on vacation every year, so I don't run the risk of losing a library book.

I haven't visited a bookstore in months. Where I am currently, reaching one is expensive by comparison to waiting a couple of days for a book sent from Amazon.

The last time I was in a bookstore believe it or not was 7 years ago. I moved from the city to the country and live in a tiny town. No book stores around for about a couple hundred miles. I buy all my books online. I miss them...not the same buying online.

It's been a while since I have been to a bookstore. I usually go on Amazon and either get it there or read it for free.

I go very often, I find them calming. There are also some authors that I will only read in paper format and refuse to buy them on kindle. I went to a couple today and try and go every couple of weeks

The last time I went was probably a couple weeks ago. I went to Barnes and Noble cause I had a couple of giftcards and I walked out with a bagful of books. Going to a bookstore for me is like going to the candy store. I could spend a whole day there. My favorite place to be is in a used bookstore.

A couple weeks back, Neil Gaiman's new book "Norse Mythology" came out and I was there that day to grab a copy. That being said, this is not typical for me. I will often peruse a physical bookstore but rarely buy something these days.

A couple of months ago, I normally go every time my husband wants to go to the movies. They are right beside each other so we always get our tickets early then I drag him around the book store.

I visited a bookstore yesterday, but sadly since I had no money, I was just window shopping. I had fun nonetheless though.

It must have been more than half a year. Since I have my e-reader I look up everything online. I'm not proud of myself and I think it's time for a trip.
