When you go to bookstores, what particular kinds of books you usually look for?

i would go to comic and magazine sections..i like to browse through latest comic and magazines..sometimes i like to look at new novels and cooking books..i love to make dessert and trying new recipes..some books can be open and i will flip few pages to look at it.,frankly i like to be in a bookstores..it is like heaven to me with tonnes of interesting books to be read..i like cecelia ahern, j.k rowling, sophie kinsella and some other authors..my mum used to buy me enid blyton;s books when i was a kid and i fell in love with it and also the world of reading instantly...

I usually look at new books by my favorite authors, and if I can't find that, I just look around to see if something catches my eye. I also read book reviews before than so I am a bit prepared when I go, it helps me get the books that I really want to read when I actually get there.

I tend to look for mystery books. I like other genres, too, but I seem to mostly enjoy reading mysteries and usually they are the only books I buy. I tend to get the other genres from the library or my book rental service.

I have always enjoyed books and reading. I may start out looking for a historical romances, they are my favorte. Somehow i manage to find my way into horror and thriller novels. There's nothing loke the latest scaare from Stephen king to get the heart racing.

It's been many years since I went through a bookstore. Mostly because I buy my books used from garage sales. Or when the library gets rid of their old books, I tend to go up there and look around. However, with that in mind, there are a certain types of books that I look out for when I do this. Of course, if I am interested by it, I read it. I tend to read a lot of historical fiction books. I'm a big fan of looking at history and it is interesting to see certain perspectives into elements that might happen. Also fantasy and action tends to be among the books. I also look for trade paperbacks of comic books. However, there are more books. As I mentioned, if the books are interesting looking, I will read it.

When I am in the bookstore I always headed for novel sections I would like for something new book for my favorite author and check other books that would catch my interest then if I could not find anything I would be going to cooking books section. I am desperate when it comes to cooking so I would get something new which would help me and easy to follow.

Being a Zen practitioner, most of the books I read are Zen books because I guess Zen is a way of life for me and I enjoy reading accounts of how other Zen practitioners deal with their discipline. _Derek

I guess I like the type of books that never caught your attention Horror and suspense is my favorite genre and it's what got me interested in reading books in the first place. When I am at the bookstore, I always go to the horror or the mystery section to see if there is a good new mystery or ghost story. I could spend the whole day reading about detectives or the supernatural. Maybe that qualifies me as a nerd.

I ususally don't just walk into a bookstore unless I know what I'm buying or looking for before I buy it. I always go to this used book store about a half hour drive away from me. The owner sells the books and whenever we're finished reading them we can bring them back and exchange them for other books so it's sort of like a library at his store. He won't refund you the full price you've paid for the books but you do get some back. Take care

Hey Bluebelleangel! I love to read and I started to read seriously last Summer! I don't know how many books I read but it was at least 6 books and I have read about another 6 this Winter! I have found books in the $1 store that were hardcover books, didn't know the authors, but figured I couldn't go wrong for a $1 and it turned out the books were incredibly good! And I got a few at a Staples store because my friend is a Manager and gave me some coupons so I got about 6 more there, they were $10 for 2, and with the coupons they cost me nothing!lol I love mysteries! I recommend anything by Harlen Coban, he is an excellent writer! But, I read all kinds of books. I have read humorous books to books about the afterlife!

hi bluebelleangel, mostly for the last two years i have not visited the book shop for books,when ever there is an exhibition of books at our place,i visit the stall and search for my guruji books,there are lot of gurujis to me ,at present i see "T lob-sang Ram pa" books in Telugu,or any other spiritual book,if have enough money to buy the book i will buy if not,i will postponing it for next time,have a nice day

I enjoy self help and books about the paranormal. Anything by Stephen King will have my attention. I like horror, suspense and crime novels. I do like love stories as long as they are contemporary ones. I love to read so I am generally happy to take a look at almost anything.

I love short stories/novels. Anything on life that makes a light reading and relaxes my mind. Just like you I love tips on diy or home improvement and management.

I usually look in the biography and autobiography section, as I enjoy reading those kinds of books. Then I will check out the film and TV section, as I am interested in film stars and people like Alfred Hitchcock. After that, I will check out the bestseller list and the fiction - either by authors I like or by genre, depending what I fancy reading.

Hi Bluebelleangel, When I go to bookstores, I usually look for some books about philosophy and psycology. I do not need textbooks but just some short chapters,like analyzing of stories or personalities, behaviour and so on, to explain certain kind of phenomenon, ideas or thoughts.

I love any book that helps me learn. I prefer books about the lives and care for animals, but will pick up almost anything non fiction! :)

when i go to the bookstore just to read, my first viewing is the books about interior designing., because i like to be an interior designer LOL,. :) i tend to design the house.. :) i admire when I'm seeing strange design and modern design :) and when i go to the bookstore to buy, i directly go to the station where i can buy my book :)

I go for acting books. Be it plays or books aboit acting. I have wanted to be an actor for a long time now and a lot of my energy is focused on getting there! It's a tough profession, so any advice from books or even better, people, that I can get is just so valuable. Other than that I don't read a lot. I like feminist literature though and autobiographies.

Hi Bluebelleangel..When i was small i used to read comical stories book and anything that is entertaining but now i mature i look for that is educational like cooking books and laundry books same with you it helps me to know many hows in kitchen and in clothes i applied it in daily routine it is basically practical right because we eat and we wash.Thriller books are nice blue when the stories are true..;o);o)

I usually look for books from Oprah's book club selection or any novel that I find interesting and if it's a new york's bestseller it will really get my attention. Now what I'm reading is "Where the heart is" by Billie Letts. The Novalee Nation who's unlucky, at 17 years old, she is preganant, and finds her self stranded at an Oklahoma Wal-mart after her mean-spirited Napoleonic jerk of a boyfriend left her there on their way to California. But Novalee still finds herself lucky to be in the right town where she will discover that there are still people who will love her and her soon to be baby.
