A Winter Pastime

 

Having a good book to read on a stormy winter day is a great way to pass the time and on a nice winter day heading out to a bookstore is a treat. This large bookstore, BMV, on Bloor St in the Annex neighbourhood fits the bill as it has several floors of books of all types. This is a view towards the mystery section which was my destination on a recent visit.

  3. Even though I can't read print books any more, I still love to browse in a good bookstore! If I find something I want to read, I just have to order the e-book version, that's all.

  4. Oh yes, I love a good book to read, but I spend more time at my library than at a bookstore. I've already had to build many bookshelves to hold all of our books.

  5. I love a good book store. There was a news story on PBS last night about a push to get people reading again. Apparently, reading skills have slipped a bit in our modern times.
