Where Do You Want To Visit Book Stores? 2
I find that a bookstore can really represent a culture.
No, I’m not talking about going to your local B&N or conglomerate bookstore.
I’m talking about the small bookstore that is a hole in a wall, crammed full of books and smells old!
I have a dream of falling into a Parisian Bookshop and just spending my afternoon there shopping around.
That being said, I got to visit an incredible bookstore in Tokyo, Japan while I was there. Kitazawa Book Store! It even made a list on BookRiot of one of the most beautiful bookstores in the world!
It was full of classic novels, all in beautiful condition but almost nothing was new. It was all pre-owned or vintage. The best kind of book store!
I relived some of my journey to Japan today on Instagram, as this time last year I was enjoying my study abroad!
I was so honored when they commented back and shared my photos on their story (check their instagram out here)! Honestly, it was a fangirl moment. I went all the way around the world to visit their bookstore and then they thanked me. It doesn’t get much better than this honestly. I’m still so excited and honored beyond belief!
But my question to you…
Where do you want to visit bookshops?
For me, I want to go back to Japan and visit all the store on the street that Kitazawa was on. There were so many.
Of course visiting bookstores in England is always so enjoyable for me.
But on my bucket list….Paris!
