I didn't get to read anything but a people magazine!<BR/><BR/>I love to visit local bookstores, even if the local store is a Barnes & Noble. Always gotta check out what is popular elsewhere, ya know. My last trip to Gulf Shores (in 2001) I bought Fried Green Tomatoes at a local store there, no idea the name of it now!Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17401807675546808620noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496061930840642053.post-33915904939972472632008-07-18T07:07:00.000-05:002008-07-18T07:07:00.000-05:00Our 2 week beach vacation each year usually happen...Our 2 week beach vacation each year usually happens in May. I pack 14 books (my hubby packs 1). He cannot understand why i take so many, so i tell him I do not understand why he needs to pack 14 shirts when he only has them on for a few hours to go out to dinner in the evening..LOL I usually do not hear about my books again. I do leave them on the island for others to enjoy so I'm sharing them at the same time.(Diane) Bibliophile By the Seahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10519875632878992728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5496061930840642053.post-17988573748950698012008-07-18T01:13:00.000-05:002008-07-18T01:13:00.000-05:00I totally agree with, leave me on the beach with a...I totally agree with, leave me on the beach with a book, not out looking for a book!

My husband usually laughs at me for packing, say, 8 books for a 7-day trip, but I think it's better safe than sorry...you never know how quickly you'll read, how many you'll burn through, or what you'll be in the mood for.
