Booking Through Thursday – Vacation Spots
Posted on July 17, 2008 in Books
Do you buy books while on vacation/holiday?
Do you have favorite bookstores that you only get to visit while away on a trip?
What/Where are they? – BTT
I actually do not go on travel vacations a lot. My last big holiday and travel was four years ago, and I did buy four books during that three weeks I was in China. If only I did have favourite book stores on my travel spots, but the economics prevents that. I bought books that last trip because I didn’t bring any with me, and I was getting a tad bored in those times when we weren’t going everywhere. That’s when I read Dumas’s The Three Musketeers and where I got Beloved. Just with any place, I buy books when they are usually below a certain price so I like book sales, used book stores, or in this case, where my purchasing power is a bit stronger than in Western book stores.
China! My vacations are not that glamorous. BTW: I absolutely LOVE your floral picture in your header!
I’ve never been on a trip that big before!
I never bought books on vacation always enter a bookstore or though. Since I work in a book store hubby might have a fit if I buy a book somewhere else because i don’t get the discount. lol
Wow! China! I’d love a vacation to China.
I don’t go on vacation much, either… my BTT was basically stating that, plus what I do when I go to my mother’s.
I’ll probably buy a book if I know I can’t get that back home. 🙂
