The Bookstore.
"Books" Pixinio
The bookstore is one of the only places in the world that can put me totally at peace. It doesn't matter what kind of day I am having as soon as I walk in and smell the fresh paper my mood improves. I think this feeling stems a lot from childhood. With all of the chaos and unknowns surrounding me my constant was books. I definitely am a better person for the characters I met and the places I visited in the imaginary worlds books provided for me.
Ohhhhhhhhhhh, Maddie, YES YES YES. You may have guessed already that I am a total bookworm also. And, to my peril, I have discovered the joys of buying used books online from AbeBooks. I can even buy books from India that way! Last semester, the class contributed stories to make a book that is actually published at Amazon and everything, and I hope people will want to do that this semester: making a book is a seriously fun feeling! Here's the book: Tiny Tales from Fall 2020
ReplyDeleteHi Maddie! I too enjoyed being in bookstores as a kid, and I really hope kids these days feel the same way, but I am not sure if they visit bookstores as much when E-readers and technology have become super common. I think they will lose out on a great experience if they don't spend some time in bookstores in person. Personally, I spent a lot of time in Half-Price Books, so those didn't always smell "fresh" as you mentioned, but I also visited Barnes and Noble frequently and those books were all nice and new!
