Do you find comfort being in a bookstore?

[Indhira_Me]

Book stores are great! I just love to simply walk (wander) between shelves. The rows and rows of books gives me an overwhelming urge to buy them all at once.

The quite, the smell of a new book, the comfy chairs and a step back from the hustle and bustle of a busy and hectic world is great. So yes, I absolutely find comfort in a bookstore.

I find bookstores really relaxing. I love the smell of ink and the paper. I love the feel of covers and the pages. I personally prefer paperback to hardback books. I love how quiet the store is-I go to the local barnes and nobles the most often. I find myself drawn to different books; sometimes because of the title, sometimes it's the font or the pictures that makes me pick it up. But the bookstore is warm and comfy, I don't even mind sitting on the floor to examine which new treasures I am going to take home. My only problem with book stores is I have too little time and too little money!

Yes! There's something about bookstores that makes me feel relaxed. I love going to this used bookstore because I always find so many good books. Also the book secton at Ollie's Outlest because the books there are really cheap. If someone took me on a date to a bookstore, I would love them forever xD

I do love spending time in bookstores! Being around books and the overall ease of the stores resonate with me.

Absolutely. the energy of being around all the books as well as being able to browse through a book is priceless.

I spent a wonderful afternoon today wandering around in Barnes & Noble. I went in for 1 book and came out with 3. What could be better!

Actually, I tend to have anxiety attacks in bookstore. I have a horrible time making decisions, and seeing all of the books just kind of freaks me out a little bit. I have to really narrow my focus to a small section, and then I just kind of pick and choose at random... most of the time I don't buy anything though... too overwhelming!

I love browsing bookstores, especially independent ones. Sadly, the indie stores are becoming scarce. If I find one while travelling, it's like being a toy store. Seeing the way they arranging the front window and the tables in the store, it's all good. There is something so comforting about walking around a bookstore, like visiting an old friend.

Just went there yesterday. It felt super comfy!

I love standing between shelves of books. It's so comforting! I love walking into a random section and looking at the different titles/topics. I could do it for hours!

I definitely find it comforting being in a bookstore. I feel like I'm around people like me. I also love the smells of a bookstore, it's usually a mixture of old and new books with coffee.

Absolutely! Bookstores are my personal therapy. I can wander, pick up a book, thumb through a couple of pages with no pressure. Im not inherently social so the decrease in pressure to hold a conversation and maintain eye contact is refreshing. Also when you are looking for a book you are doing so with the mind set of situating yourself in a comfortable location and entering mentally into a new world while simultaneously dislocating from your current reality...its refreshing. Added bonus you are joined by people with like-mindedness, no judgement, no pressure.

For sure! Unless it's just a stand or small sections of books - I just find those a bit distracting. But I love to walk into Chapters and smell the books and coffee (there's a Starbucks inside). Then I just pick out about 10 books to buy and start reading them.

Oh I love being in bookstores. I think I could live in Barnes and Noble...
