I agree with her. I miss the little bookshops, which I'm sure lost out to big bookstores and online sales. There's nothing like browsing in a bookstore and finding a treasure that you weren't even looking for!

I agree. I think that book shops are still relevant, especially to those of us who like to browse and enjoy books.
Sadly the little bookstores are extinct where I live.

@Laura - I am a big believer of supporting the local business, so what I do is select books on Amazon and order them locally
@Tyrean - agreed!
@Inge - good choice
@Talya - I must say you are right :)
@Kathy - sad indeed!
I've never read Joanna Trollope though I've seen many of her books out there. I'll have to check her out. I agree with her that nothing beats browsing an actual bookshop and touching, smelling and opening real books before buying them.
I love browsing in bookstores, but books are so much cheaper now to download onto a kindle app.
I shop both online and in store for books. My greatest fear is losing the public libraries though. I just really love the tangible feel of a book with real pages. Nice little feature on Joanna.

@Cat - she has a very powerful style, you will like it!
@Suzy - that is true, but I still find holding a book more appealing than the Kindle (and I do own one!)
@Sue - libraries are also under danger you are right, we are lucky to have a great one in our town, grateful indeed
