Well, this Booking Through Thursday answer is a bit late, but oh well.

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?

Unless I see a book I haven’t been able to find at home and haven’t yet ordered from Amazon or BN.com, I don’t usually buy books on vacation. I *might* buy a book on vacation if I finish the one I brought with me, but that’s a rare occasion. Then again, so is my taking a vacation. LOL

There is a bookstore, a used bookstore, that I can only visit if I’m in California called Book Chek. In fact, I’m not even sure if it’s still there. I just found it on Yahoo! Yellow Pages! I remember my mom used to take me there when I was little. She read darn near every Harlequin romance novel they had there, and she bought almost every single Nancy Drew book I owned there. In fact, one of the employees there attempted to teach me to knit. Another favorite of mine was a bookstore that I honestly can’t remember the name of right now, but it was in Copperas Cove, TX and I used to go there fairly often.

We’d had a couple of used bookstores here but they’re long gone now. They never seem to last long here. I’m not sure if it’s because they never advertise their existence or what, but they never seem to last very long.
