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

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 :)
ReplyDeleteOmg 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

Oh my gosh, I feel like crying?? I studied abroad in London last year and I went to the waterstone's near my housing so much!! I miss it :(

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.

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.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to go to Waterstones some day if I ever am in England. :)
ReplyDeleteLOL 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 :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you're having a fantastic week.

I can't comment on Waterstones & Costa, since we don't have those here, but I love wandering around and around and around in a bookstore
