These days,
I usually order books
On my Kindle.
It's faster, easier,
With two clicks
I'm reading.
However,
One summer day,
So for a special "vacation" treat,
I went to a real, wonderful,
Bookstore
Where "real" books lined the shelves,
People thumbed through the pages
Before carrying their treasures home.
The warning signs
Confirmed what I already knew.
It was a dangerous place
Where books were screaming
"Take me,"
My credit card was moaning
"Do you need all this?"
And I was smiling
As I remembered the joy
A wonderful bookstore
Could bring
And as I carried my
A wonderful bookstore
Could bring
And as I carried my
Treasures home
Ignoring all those
"Warnings!"

I love nothing more than wandering in a bookstore. I am fortunate enough to live in Portland, OR and one of my special treats is to take the bus downtown to Powells. I can spend the whole day there.
That place is one of the best!
So glad you ignored those 'warning signs', Anita, and took the plunge! Nothing better than a bookstore.
This looks like a little piece of heaven to me! Gosh, I love those bookstores. Thank you for sharing your experience - I can see I am not alone!
I love this post! Bookstores are magical places, and I'm glad they are so loved by other people too. This was a beautiful post.
You're so lucky to find a bookstore that isn't a chain. I love being in bookstores, even when I restrain myself from buying.
