Who couldn't use a book lift-me-up on Monday mornings? This meme will
consist of anything related to books that could also be considered
beautiful, art, or uplifting. It could include pictures, quotes, book
covers that caught your eye, products that celebrate books, beautiful
locations that promote books, or anything else pertaining to books that
brightens your day. We all see something different as beautiful which
will make this meme a real joy to peruse through as you and others in
the blogging community join in. Please link back to
A Library of our Own and leave a comment with the link to your post. Thank you and I can't wait to see all of your
Monday's Bookishly Beautiful posts!
I LOVE a trip to the bookstore! I could wander, browse, and sit in a corner or on the floor looking at a book for hours. Getting lost in a bookstore is magical. Today I thought I would share my favorites from Flavorwire's
The 20 Most Beautiful Bookstores in the World and
Readers' Choice 20 More Beautiful Bookstores from Around the World. Please check out the links for a full list of all 40.

Wow these are amazing!! I like the one in France - I think - the most. But I hope it doesn't rain at The Honesty Bookshop!!
ReplyDeleteI like the one in Mexico city that mixes the plants with the book store. The Honesty bookshop was stunning - is it really outside?!
