As I mentioned in my recent post, my recent 10-day vacation was a wonderful whirlwind of family time, good food, and zero reading. I went in with a stack of books, full of good intentions, and came back with that same stack, completely untouched.
But let's be real—a vacation isn't truly a vacation without a visit to a local bookstore, right?
While I may have failed to read, I absolutely succeeded in one of my favorite vacation pastimes: Browse the shelves of a Barnes & Noble. There’s something about being in a new city and walking into a familiar bookstore that feels like coming home. I could have been at any B&N in the country, but the unique selection and atmosphere of this particular store made the experience even more special.
And, of course, I didn't leave empty-handed. My book-buying habit is strong, and a vacation seems to only fuel it. I figured if I wasn't going to read on the trip, the least I could do was set myself up for some serious reading when I got back.
So, while my reading life took a brief hiatus, my book-collecting life is thriving. I'm now home, refreshed, and surrounded by new stories waiting to be discovered. It’s the best of both worlds, really. Now if you’ll excuse me, I have some reading to catch up on!
What's the best book you've ever found while on vacation? Let me know in the comments!
