Barnes & Noble

I feel so calm inside of a Barnes & Noble, I could spend hours in there. I love flipping through books, feeling different covers, and seeing what other people are checking out. I wonder if they make candles that smell like bookstores. The new locations' interiors are unfortunately not of my taste and I hope they don't renovate the old locations to match. Getting to go through the process of buying a new book feels like a prize. I feel like a kid again when I finish a book and get to go pick out a new one. Going to the bookstore is a treat in and of itself, but getting to take one home with me is thrilling~ I also don't think new bookstores are inherently better or worse than used bookstores or libraries. They all have a place in my life.
