Top Ten Tuesday: Reasons I Love My Local Waterstones


Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. This week's topic is ten reasons I love X. I've decided to go with the ten reasons I love my local Waterstones. (Other bookshops are available...)

  1. It's easy walking distance so I can go there during my lunch hour.
  2. The staff are all super friendly and recognise me...
  3. ...and following on, the staff also give great recommendations.
  4. I can find so many hidden treasures.
  5. I can spend hours walking around in circles.
  6. If a book isn't in stock, I can order it in and collect it instore (no postage fees!).
  7. It's the only bookshop within a 15 mile radius of my house (that I know about anyway...)
  8. There is a Costa so it always smells like coffee...
  9. ...and I can get lunch and read at the same time
  10. The Costa staff now know my order!

  1. It's so nice to have a book store close AND have them know your preferences and be so helpful. I wish I had something close like that :)

  2. Omg that sounds AMAZING. :D I live in a town with one tiny bookstore and it has a terrible selection. XD hehe, Plus the prices are awful so I almost always just order online. But it would be aaaamazing to have such an epic (nice coffee smelling!) bookstore so close by. :D

  4. I love my local Waterstones so much! Admittedly, I live in a tiny village, so I have to get the bus to the town closest to us in order to go there, but all the other things I can totally relate to.

  5. Now I'm really sad because I don't have a Waterstones anywhere near me (that I know of). The only bookstore near me is Barnes and Noble, which is okay. But I would love to have a bookstore like Waterstones near me.

  7. LOL I love that the Costa staff and the Waterstones staff now know you well enough to help you both with your lunch and your books, Lauren :)
    I hope you're having a fantastic week.

Feature and Follow (29 May)

The Feature & Follow is hosted by TWO hosts, Parajunkee of  Parajunkee’s View  and Alison of  Alison Can Read . Each host will have their own Feature Blog and this way it’ll allow us to show off more new blogs! I'm one of the featured blogs this week! Along with Amanda of  The Darling Bookworm . This week’s Question: How many books have you got on your TBR list? I recently had a bit of a cull of my TBR list so now it is sitting at 269. I'm trying my hardest to get it below 200 by the end of the year but I really don't see it happening. I'd currently be happy if I managed to get it below 225. However, I did recently have a look through my TBR on Goodreads and deleted a few books that I don't think I will actually ever read - I'm not even to sure how they got there anyway. Follow me via  Goodreads ,  Facebook ,  Bloglovin  and  Pinterest  and also via email to myexpandingbookshelf@gmail.com.  Feel free to leave a comment.
