A bookstore is a magical place, where you are not rushed to select something and get out. Bookstores allows you to browse through multiple genres and authors; you can get lost in time, but the time lost there is a happy one.

Bookstores are my happy place, and the smaller independent ones are usually the best! I could spend hours browsing, reading, and just wandering in and out of the shelves.

Book stores and libraries are immensely comforting. The smell of the books, the quiet, all the little worlds stacked up next to each other - it’s an amazing feeling. I also love that everyone there is there because they’re looking for a good book. These are my people!

I love going to book stores. It is one of my favorite places and I can walk around for hours just reading summaries of books and trying to decide which ones to buy and how many!

Absolutely, I find immense comfort in being in a bookstore too. Even if it's just for a short time, that sense of being enveloped in a bookish sanctuary is truly special.

Yes, bookstores are the absolute best! I love the feeling of the new books and the perfect colour coordination. In fact there are some bookstores that have a special section in which you can read a new book from a limited edition and it was on display for a week.

Yes I do. When I am surrounded by rocks, I feel at peace and grounded. Books give me a feeling of warmth.
