For me, I need to turn up my nose at the glamor of B&N and go straight for the bargains at Half Price Books. Of course there is something to be said for the coffee at Barnes & Noble...
ReplyDeleteI love Joseph-Beth Bookstores in Lexington, Ky!!! I'm not sure, but I think it's the biggest independent in the country.
ReplyDeleteGreat giveaway, thanks!
I like the large independent used and new bookstore in the town over.

Strand Books in NYC supposedly kicks major butt. I'm going for the 1st time on Wednesday. My favorite store for now is b and n but that will hopefully change soon!

ReplyDeleteI love Half Price Books because I can leave with double the books for a lot less. I do like Barnes and Noble when I want something to pretty to look at because they have the books arranged so nicely. Thanks for a great giveaway!
ReplyDeleteWOW...I love gift cards!! Thanks so much for giving me a chance to win one!
ReplyDeleteI LOVE Book People in Austin.

My favourite bookstore is Amazon.com, which has just about everything I could ever need. If I am looking locally and in no rush, I like Books & Co.
ReplyDeleteknittingmomof3 AT gmail DOT com
I love B & N! There is such a huge collection of books there! Of course, it is located about a half an hour away from where I live. We need one closer! So I do a lot of online shopping from them.
ReplyDeleteplease enter me! my favorite bookstore is a store in Bristol, VA called Christian Book Warehouse. They sell mainly remainder marked books for insanely low prices.

Olsson's used to be my favorite, but now that it's closed? Unfortunately, until I find a replacement, Border's definitely wins.
ReplyDeleteMy favorite is Amazon.com. A wide variety of books to choose from.
ReplyDeleteAmazon is my favorite. I can browse any time day or night. I have a list of my favorites. And they deliver right to my door. It's great!
ReplyDeleteI love Schuler Books, my big-but-local bookstore. All the selection of the big chains plus the all the feel-good of shopping local -- plus a used book section!

ReplyDeletebookroomreviews@hotmail.com
I have to confess... I love all book stores (used or new! lol) but my favorite would have to be Borders. It's just perfect!
ReplyDeleteI like Strand book store, which has tons of book selections, reasonable prices but honesty, I prefer to buy new books but once in a while it's nice to stroll through the isles and just browse
ReplyDeleteI prefer an independent bookstore but since there are none by me I have to go with Barnes & Noble. We have a Borders too but it's not set-up properly! Too many distractions. Our B&N is conducive to browsing and has a nice cafe so I say B&N.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the opportunity!

My favorite is still Amazon, because they're generally good to all authors and publishers, of any size, and because free shipping!
ReplyDeletetimk at jtimothyking.com (You can also contact me via my website.)
My favorite National bookstore would be Lifeway Christian books, but my all time fav bookstore is a local used bookstore. I love that place. lol
ReplyDeleteI would love to be entered in your giveaway.
Hard question...
ReplyDeleteI love amazon for the convenience and discounts but I also like to browse in Borders! And in used book stores too.
I love Amazon because I can almost always find exactly what I am looking for!

I'm an Amazon.com gal, but anywhere they sell books is a great store in my opinion!

I'm gonna cheat a little bit.
ReplyDeleteMY favorite book store is a thrift store. I love the crazy assortment of books and the smell and the thrill of the hunt.
For this giveaway, I'm gonna tell you that my husband LOVES B&N, and I would love the chance to win a GC to put in his stocking.
I blogged about ya :o)
ReplyDeleteAmazon is my favorite bookstore, if it can count. I love their prices, free shipping at $25, and their wide selection.
ReplyDeleteI also like to shop at used bookstores. They have a neat one near where I live. I love to find a good book at a bargain!
This is a tough question. I love Recycled Books. They're a local used bookstore in town. They're in a bright purple building and I can't remember a time when I didn't shop there.
ReplyDeleteI also enjoy Borders though it isn't in town. I'm signed up for the Borders Reward program. And I love some of the perks that come with that. (Border bucks are my friends!)
Online, I love, love, love Amazon.

Oh - my favorite by far is www.half.com . I generally find great deals on there, often for the cost of shipping, which is a little less than Amazon's used marketplace. If I can find the book for less at Amazon, that is a close second! Locally, we have a great B&N right down the street - I don't know if I've ever found a bookstore I didn't like! ;)

ReplyDeleteDoesn't Starbucks qualify because we can go there to read??!! My favorite bookstore is a locally owned one. I have enjoyed every recommendation they have given me. If they don't have it, they order it. Do like to larger chain stores too.
ReplyDeleteOh I love FAMILY Christian Bookstore.....and Lifeway!

B&N is my favorite since it is the closet one to my house. :) But if I order online, I order from Amazon!
ReplyDeleteWell, BAM is here and there are NO OTHER bookstores in my area! I know! How horrible! So, I love BAM and I love Amazon. I really love Coffee Culture in Gainesville, FL. They have a free book exchange and great coffee! LOL LOL LOL
ReplyDeleteOkay, I do most of my book shopping online at cbd.com, but I like hitting the bargain tables at Waldenbooks (our only big chain bookstore) and I visit our local Christian bookstore Bible Supply for browsing.
ReplyDeleteThanks!

I my favorite is Barnes and Nobel simply because they are much closer to where I live than any other bookstores. :) I do like the nearby Christian bookstore, but their selection is a little weak. When I can't find something I order from cbd.com
ReplyDeletefrog123 (at) cyipcom (dot) net
My favorite bookstore is Border's because they have the best bargain section.
ReplyDeleteWe have BAM and B&N in Huntsville (nearest city with bookstores). I prefer B&N because it is cozier.

My favorite bookstore is our local thrift store where books are 50 cents to two dollars. I have to go at least once a week to see if I can find anything good. I'm subscribed! Count two entries for me please! Thanks Lisa.
ReplyDeletefor ease of convenience I love Amazon.com, but when I go into New York City I hit 'The Strand'. I can't even begin to tell you how many out of print books I've found for so cheap brand new! Literally 8 miles+ of books if they put their shelves back to back its a dream come true for me.

ReplyDeleteI generally buy my books at a little local store that pretty much has to order what I want. I shop online at Harry Schwarz and Amazon.
ReplyDeleteI like Barnes and Noble as it's closest to where I live.
ReplyDeleteCity Lights in San Fran - history and quality.
ReplyDeleteWow, that is a LOT of comments. My favourite bookstore in the whole world is the Borders in downtown Eugene. As you (probably?) know, I met my husband online, and then a year after we started talking, he flew out (from London) to see me (in Oregon) and stayed in a hotel across the street from this huge Borders. The first day I met him, he suggested we go wander around Borders for a chat and it was such a great way to re-meet him, talking about books and stuff. We spent a lot of time there, so I like it not only because it has a large selection of books, the great staff, their yum ham and cheese pastries, but also because I fell in love with my husband there for the second time.
ReplyDeleteIf you were asking where I'd want a giftcard from though, I think amazon.co.uk would be more practical for me. But less of a great story! :) And also, I've been subscribed to your blog for AGES.
My favorite bookstore is Barnes and Noble. I go there at least once a week, lol. I like it b/c it's close and they generally has about a million books I want. Plus it's organized in such a way that I can easily find things.
ReplyDeleteForgot to say, I subscribed!
ReplyDeleteAmazon.ca is my favourite bookstore because before it came a long I had a hard time getting books ordered in that I knew existed (independent bookstores would insist they didn't).
ReplyDeleteI can be contacted through my blog (click on the name and leave a comment anywhere or my e-mail is the bottom of my about page).

ReplyDeleteI like Amazon for it's huge inventory. But I also like Half Price Books, where I can get books for a price which doesn't bust my wallet, especially in light of today's economy.

I'm from Portugal, and my favourite bookstore is FNAC. It's no great, but it has a lot of english books that havenn't yet been translated :)
ReplyDelete( acrisalves AT gmail DOT com)
My favorite book store would have to be Amazon, since I can find great deals there without having to leave the house. It's so much more relaxing to shop from home than to try to find a good read with a 4 year old in tow. Thanks for the giveaway!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite book store is a local new and used book store called appropiately, The Book Place. The owner and clerks are friendly and helpful. I can buy my books there then return them for store credit to buy even more books. The owner makes a little money and I get to feed my reading addict at a minimal cost.

Hi! :)
ReplyDeleteI recently fell in love with a used books store in a lovely mountain town in my country (Panama), called The Bookmark. It was heaven! Books stacked up to the ceiling, the smell of old paperbacks (which I love)... Ahhhh!
Anyway, my favorite online bookstore is probably ThriftBooks.com
Thanks!

My fav is Amazon. Everything I could possibly want, great prices, and I don't have to waste gas to get there!
ReplyDeleteB & N is nice but you can find some great buys at Amazon so I would rather have an Amazon GC thanks! I also like those temporary bookstores that pop up at this time of year but they don't have gc's
ReplyDeleteI don't know if I have a fav store but I use amazon.com a lot, but only with gift cards so far. I already subscribe to your blog :)
ReplyDeleteI love Amazon because I can browse from home in my jammies, and I love reading the reviews that people leave, and the prices are really reasonable.
ReplyDeleteBorders is my personal favorite. I like how it's laid out. We have an independent bookstore here, but I find the layout to not be intuitive.
ReplyDeleteOh, and I'm already subscribed to your blog, and have been reading it, for, like, EVAR. :D
My favourite new bookstore is McNally Robinson. They're a locally owned company that started small but has been able to expand into a few different provinces over the past few years. Their shops are fantastic; they have nooks for each genre, a great children's section, lots of dark wood, chairs for customers, a great bargain section... I could go on and on. I love 'em to bits.
ReplyDeleteMy favourite used bookstore is Half Price Books. We don't have them here in Canada, but I never visit the Twin Cities area without checking theirs out. Their bargain section is to die for; I always buy way, way too much.

Although I adore Amazon, I would go for a GC to my local haunt, Humpus Bumpus in my little town in favor of putting money in the local merchant's hands rather than the big ol conglomerate. Ya know?
ReplyDeleteBut, sigh, they don't have any coffee there. Afraid I'll spill it on the books.
On the other hand, Last time I was there she gave me a free galley copy. Nice.

ReplyDeleteI really enjoy going to Half Price Books. If I'm looking for a specific book, I love getting it at half price. However, my first stop is always in their bargain section. I get great hardcover books for either a $1 or $2. You can't beat that! I do like to visit B&N, too. The coffee is great and I like to check out their bargain tables.

I used to love to go to Barnes and Noble and drink coffee while I browsed around. Now that I have young kids I browse and shop through Amazon. Much easier and saner way to shop when you have kids whose favorite activity is taking all the books off the shelf and then throwing a fit when it is time to clean up. :) thanks for the chance
ReplyDeleteLiving in a small town in far western Oklahoma, without access to a bookstore of any kind, I have to rely on Amazon for buying, and on blogs like yours for reviews and recommendations.

My favorite all time favorite book store and coffee shop was called the living room. No other book store will ever compete in my eyes. It was a community get together. They had poetry readings, music night. You could smell the books from the shelves, there were couches and chairs scattered to look like a living room. With a piano. It was not large but was not small it was cozy enought for everyone. It also had Wooden floors, it was also a coffee shop, and served lunch. Everyone knew everyone. The owner made sure you felt welcome and made sure all the staff knew you. Unfortunately, the town of Myrtle Beach is owned, and I am not kidding there is such a thing as a certain family owning a town. They raised the rent and the owner had to leave. I never knew what the good o'le boys meant till I moved to this town. I always thought that happened only in movies.

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Borders! They have a great selection of my favorite kinds of books. There is an astounding amount of books that I haven't heard of before seeing them there, but read because I saw them while browsing and liked what I saw. It is less than 2 miles away from where I live, and can keep my parents and brother entertained while I am off on my own. We will spend hours there if we can, and have!

my fave bookstore is probably amazon...can get it from home. I know you can with B&N but half there thing is going into the atmosphere. Same with Hastings,
ReplyDeleteI love Half Price books and the local annual Friends of the Library booksale here in OKC. It is huge! I am all about the book bargains!
ReplyDeleteI love Liberty Book Store and Powells. LBS is very cute and by my house. Powells is just amazing.
ReplyDeleteI shop mostly online! Christianbook.com - huge Christian selection and even cheaper than Amazon sometimes :).
ReplyDeleteBarnes and Noble is the place to go for books and bargains, don't I know!
ReplyDeleteI filled up my trunk with books for gifts, and wrap them all clever for little lifts!

I love Barnes & Nobles. Our whole family does. We love to go and just get some book and magazines and sit and enjoy being surrounded around books.

I can't resist the allure of Amazon. I shop there so much it's ridiculous. That's my choice for sure!

I prefer my local Christian store or Amazon
ReplyDeletemy favorite is a huge locally owned bookstore in my hometown. it has a whole floor dedicated to beautiful childrens books. i could spend all day there!
ReplyDeleteI like to wander around Barnes & Noble. Although I've been spending some time on Amazon lately.....
ReplyDeleteWhile I'm crazy about Amazon, there's nothing like being able to touch and open a book. For that reason I picked a real store, Characters which is a second hand bookstore. There I'm able to find older books as well as new and I can trade ones I've already read.
ReplyDeleteI love shopping at Books a Million b/c it's a nice atmosphere and you can thumb through anything
ReplyDeleteBorders would be my choice. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteThere aren't too many choices in book stores where I live, but if I have to choose it would definitely be Barnes and Noble. I like them for their discount book section--I always find something I really like for a really good deal. (Oh yeah-and there is a Starbuck's in the store)
ReplyDeleteI would have to say Borders because its the closest to me. Ha ha. :)
ReplyDeleteI also LOVE to shop on half.com :)
I love B&N-it's close to my house and I can have a cup of coffee and wander thru the book aisles

I love my local Borders because it's close and the employees are very nice. They provide a good atmosphere.
ReplyDeleteI prefer B&N it seems pretty cozy :D
