Top 7 Book Towns for A Unique Literary Getaway
I read an interesting news article yesterday about a new trend this year of people turning to buy books again. I mean real books, the ones with paper we have grown up reading. Bookstores are experiencing over a 100% increase in sales compared to 2023. Somehow, people have understood that reading eBooks does not fulfill the same satisfactorily experience as reading a real book. And, as we areβ¦

Qotd: what catches your eye in antique shops? Last thing you bough that was old but new to you? . Books! I bought an English anthology published in 1793. It my precious. . Sometimes treasure can be found where you least expect it. In the decade since high school graduation, Christine Sawyer has realized her dream of opening Treasure Hunting Antique Mall, the place where shoppers find gems that are new to them. Between her store, her house, and her role as a doting aunt, sheβs happy with her lifeβif a bit lonely. But sheβs used to being less lucky in love than her fraternal twin sister. Britney was always the popular one, the head cheerleader who dated the homecoming king and quarterback, while Christine stayed in the shadows. Brent Nicholson is still trying to come to grips with the shambles his life has become. After leading his football team to a state championship, he suffered a career-ending injury. Now heβs lost his construction business thanks to his so-called best friend. So when his great-aunt Midge asks for his help readying her home to put it on the market, the opportunity to spend time with his biggest fan is a balm to his bruised soul. But the antiques Brent finds in his auntβs house lead him to an unexpected partnership with Christine. After being blind to her for so many years, is it too late for the former high school jock to win the heart of the self-proclaimed βnerdy twinβ? As they shift through items of the past, Christine and Brent learn to let go of the pieces they donβt want to bring into the futureβand realize the value of whatβs in front of them today. βHometown charm and swoon-worthy second chances make this a must read.β βKristen Mckanagh, author of Snowballβs Christmas . #prelovedbooks #bookstafeatures #bookclubsofinstagram #instabookstagram #bookishgirl #bookreviewer #bookobsessed #ilovereading #booksofinstagram #booknerdigans #bookishaesthetic #booksarelove #bookpicture #cozyreads #bookbuying #booksandcandles #readingtime #readingoutside #booksandwince #booksandtravel #booksandcoffee #booksaremylife #bookslovers #booksy #booksandtea #bookstagrammer #morebooks #SomethingOldSomethingNew #sweetromance #Christianfiction (at Columbus, Ohio) https://www.instagram.com/p/CnCoAU1rPM2/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q: What's a city, state, or country you've never been and would like to travel to?. I loveddd #InANewYorkMinute ! π½ Maybe itβs because I live in NYC and can relate, but this story felt so down to earth and realistic. (And I canβt relate in that Iβve met an attractive guy on the subway, I wish β just the city aspects.) π I loved this book and Iβm so glad I decided to pick it up. Franny & Hayes meet-cute story on the subway goes viral thanks to someone snapping photos and sharing to Instagram, making them #SubwayQTs (since they were on the Q trainβ¦.get it? HA!) This is a hilarious and charming story of two people who are different and yet keep seeing each other and become connected in ways they didnβt expect. I love Frannyβs over the top personality β she is an artist, after all, and decides in her newly unemployed status to start her own Interior Design business. And I love how Hayes is a business and numbers guy, he has a routine and sticks to it every single day. In A New York Minute is a romance but its definitely more plot driven than most romance novels I read β there is not a lot of actual kissing or sex in this book, I would personally rate this at a high PG-13. They donβt kiss until over halfway through the book and the sex (spoiler not spoiler, its a romance, you knew it was coming) happens off page with little to no details. This didnβt bother me in the least. These characters were so interesting to read about and so well developed. Franny's two best friends and Hayes βwork wifeβ and cousin both played important roles in this story too and I feel like we got to know all of them. #novelebookreads - Comfort reads #AlltheBooksJun22 - Date with a book #booknookbingo - Library book #KateSpencer #romancebooks #romancereads #romancereadersofinstagram #librarybookstagram #librarybook #booksinnyc #newyorkcity #nycandbooks #booksandtravel #boostingya (at Times Square 42nd Street) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfJn97Nrue_/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Q - How many flags could you identify? βοΈ I love travelling but due to the high budget and lack of exact knowledge , travelling has took back seat in my life. π Travelogue across hemispheres by Bhupendra Gupta reminds me of Ilhai song of Yeh Jawaani hai dewaani π
. No doubt I can relate songs anytime. π This book is like a travel diary of author were he discusses various places across globes. π’ From breathtaking experiences to eye-catching views, the author takes a rollercoaster ride of his own experiences. π· The pictures are like a finishing touch to the sculpture of his journey. Moreover, the cover speaks more of itself than I'm writing for this book π . π¨βπ©βπ¦βπ¦ Author has also described his meeting with various people in his journey. Humours and informative at the same time, I can relate author at that time the most. Travel lovers should surely go for this book.

#QOTD Who is your favorite villain/antihero? π π I normally don't like villains. I mean I seriously start hating them the moment I read about them. But reading about The Darkling was something different. I liked him right from the start. Even when I knew what he really was, I just couldn't hate him. I was hoping against hope that maybe he's just acting and not really the villain.ππ Would you believe I had this hope with me until the end of the second book!!π
π
π π A friend of mine once said that the success of an anti hero is in how much the audience hates him/her. Now that's something for a thought. π π #mondebooks #yareads #bookishcommunity #booknerdigans #unitedbookstagram #bookrecommendations #bookaddiction #booksandtravel #thebookieclub #avidobooks #bookstagramuncertified #bookstagramfeatures #yalove #booksofinstagram #bookgram #bookgeek #booksaremylife #booksaremagic #booksandshares #bookshark https://www.instagram.com/p/B19BS6sAlk9/?igshid=bfpn8k6vs8pa

I'm always in awe of the massive world he created, the fact you can study Tolkien linguistics at the University of Oxford really says something about the legacy he left. When I was there, I got to visit the Eagle and Child pub where he and his friends spent a lot of time, the famous literary group, The Inklings. You might recognize a few other signatures there as well! That amazing necklace is made from a Scottish river rock, carved by an amazing artist I met while I was living there. @stonemadcrafts is crazy talented so check out his work. #QOTD What real life place that has ties to books would you want to visit? #AOTD I'd like to go back to The Elephant House in Edinburgh where J.K Rowling wrote a lot of the Harry Potter books and spend more time there. #bookstagram #tolkien #thehobbit #lordoftherings #booksandtravel #england #cslewis #bookphotography #booksofinstagram #bookphotography #bibliophile #booklover #booknerd #bookish #bookstagramer #bookstagramfeature #quotes https://www.instagram.com/p/Bz_4HP0Aont/?igshid=lofv3pxtuz82

I'm almost done packing for tomorrow. I cannot wait to be in LONDON, even if it is for just 5 days. Although, being honest, not even a month will be enough. I love that city with all my heart and I cannot wait to see what's in store for us in this trip πΉ #currentlyreading #booksandtravel #fantasyreads
