We spent Saturday afternoon in downtown Warren, Pennsylvania and waiting for Emily and Jeremy’s wedding to start, we wandered into a couple nearby bookstores. It. was. heaven. I even got some Christmas shopping done! There is just no place like a bookstore. I could spend my whole life with my nose pressed to the printed page. THIS, people, is why I will NEVER buy an e-reader. Ever. Ever. EVER.
What about you? What do you love the most about bookstores? And what are you reading lately?
love, elizabeth
I will always love bookstores. I do have a Kindle, but I don't love it as much as I love going to the library. And never will. :)
ReplyDeleteOoh I love the new header..awesome-ness! I have too many books to read!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE the smell of the bookstore, not the kind of bookstore that has a coffee bar, just the smell of books! I just finished reading Dean Koontz "By the Light of the Moon".
ReplyDeleteOH joy, another book lover...not just printed words but BOOK lover. I love the musty smell of the paper in bookstores...the crinkle of onion skin pages...towering shelves...yesssss!
ReplyDeleteAnd btw...that new header is too too lovely!
Hugs~
You and Kyle are so cute together and look like you so enjoy each other's company! I love that! I am reading The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Society.... :-)
ReplyDeleteAh! You found Authors!!! I'm so happy-did you also go into the Allegheny Book Mart? It's where I purchase almost every gift I give you. So happy you got to see a little favorite piece of our town while you were here. Love you!!!
ReplyDeleteI'm so with you on those e-readers. Not happening. Nuh uH!
ReplyDeleteHands down favorite bookstore thing is my memories of our traipsing through used bookstores in England. The passion you had for finding the "finds"; you and Ben but especially you. Then we would cart all of our precious cargo back to our cottage and read by the electric fire. Nothing beats a lovely old bookstore. New ones are good but...nothing like those old treasure troves, especially in England.
ReplyDeleteMy sister and I LOVE to read. We go to bookstores every chance we get and even wanted to open one up in our area. Meh. But I don't think there is anyone with out love of books around these parts ):
ReplyDeleteThat last pic of you is so, so gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteAnd I love every single thing about bookstores. I'd never buy an e-reader either... ICK!
PS - that note from Kyle in your book was so incredible sweet. I'm so happy you have that kind of love in your life, Elizabeth. :)
