I used to pretty much live for trips to the bookstore... these days though, we only go to bookstores for children's books and/or storytimes.
I love the vibe of bookstores though! There's one nearby and we buy books for the kids there even though it's way cheaper online. More and more bookstores are doing crowdfunding campaigns, so maybe between loyal local patrons and online fundraising, some will stick around.
Do you still go to bookstores?

Yes! We have a used bookstore around here that I love to go to. Since LO, I imagine we'll mostly be going for children's books now. I'm a big fan of used bookstores.

There's one not too far away that we sometimes go to. Liam loves the children's section.

No, we frequent the library and order any books through amazon or scholastic. There's just not a bookstore nearby.

Sadly no. Since I don't speak the local language, there aren't a lot of options. The few English book stores are really expensive and poorly organized.

Yes. It's one of DH's favorite things to do. I love it too. I don't buy books very often for myself, but I love picking books for LO. We also go to the library often.

I used to be a Barnes and Noble frequenter (even though it was cheaper online I liked to look and buy) but now with kids we just don't make it there.

I used to love book stores but there is only barnes and noble by me and I recently had a bad customer service issue with them, so we're on a break

There's a children's bookstore a few blocks from our house and we end up walking there too often. The books are so much cheaper online but there's nothing quite like the thrill of poring over books, picking a few, and leaving with them in hand.

Yes we like to go and browse. I especially like checking out small, independent bookstores whenever we travel.

Yes, I live very close to a Barnes and Nobles so we go there often. I don't read any ebooks around DD because she thinks I am just using the iPad for fun so I have been buying books a lot this year.
