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?
Yes — I bring books on vacation to read. I bring books nearly everywhere with me, just in case! I don’t have any favourite spots exactly, because I don’t often go to the same place… but when we’re in Manchester (England), I can’t stop wandering around Waterstones. I just love it in there! I wish I could work there! That would be so much fun. Can you imagine all the staff discounts? … I’d amass so many books I wouldn’t be able to afford to ship them back to Canada (as that’s what I did with my books last winter).

I also take my reading material with me wherever I go.

i’m so bad that i just love to go to the airport bookstore and shop for a book or two, hubby know this will happen and is always slightly bummed as he wants me to play cards on the plane with him not stick my nose in a book!

I don’t usually buy books on vacation but I always bring a lot of them to read (checked out from the library) to bring with me. I read too much to buy books. I do tend to browse a lot of bookstores but other than knitting books or other non-fiction type reference books I rarely purchase.
