While on my road trip, I came across some bookish art that I wanted to share!
Reading with a statue in Hilton Head, SC
Some beautiful old books at an art museum in Chattanooga
Hunter Museum of Art, Chattanooga, TN
Hunter Museum of Art, Chattanooga, TN
Book Warehouse $3 and under books, located off of I-75 in GA, 5 miles from the FL border
Book Warehouse – sooooo many great books to choose from!
The books I picked up from the Book Warehouse near Valdosta, GA
Not a bookish picture, but this is something I learned after reading it on a dolphin statue at the Atlanta Aquarium, and I thought it was fitting since it’s something I read (plus, I had no idea!)
Which one is your favorite?
Thanks for reading,

Great pics! I love the Book Warehouse you went to – I used to go when I went to FSU and I would stop in when I went to visit my sis in TN. Such a great store – there are so many books!!! Loved the pile you picked up – the Egan book is fantastic! Enjoy your new reads 🙂

Awesome!!!! Isn’t it just amazing??? I could have spent HOURS there! My sister and I just loved it.
Even though I went to FSU, home was south FL, so I never even knew this existed! But it’s so close to FL, if I’m up in the area again I will for sure go back.
Interesting Fact: Did you know that Jennifer Egan dated Steve Jobs? I read that in the Steve Jobs by Walter Isaacson book!

I’m so glad you made it to this place! I was so worried when we talked about you going on that other highway!

I wonder if it’s a different one or the same one since it was off a different highway. . .

I really like your second book warehouse picture. I think it’s a good picture and it’s also a lot of fun to see just how many books they had! And the dolphin thing is an awesome fun fact. Very interesting!

Thanks, Katie! I know the dolphin fact isn’t bookish but since I read it and you read books, I felt it worked with the post. It’s a stretch, I guess!

This is great! I still have to post something about my holiday to Prague (where I saw a statue of Kafka and his birthhouse), but I always seem to forget to write that post, oops :p

Oh my goodness, the Book Warehouse looks amazing; I’m impressed you left with only four books! Goon Squad is fantastic, and I’ve heard great things about Prep and The Sense of and Anding.

It required SOOOOO much restraint to only leave with a few books. It was almost impossible.

The store with the three dollar books! I have got to stop in there next time I go south! Were they familiar, well known titles and authors?
LikeLike
YES!!!! Like all of the books you would want! It was like visiting a library, but you could BUY the books! I mean, of course there were authors I had no idea about, but I could have walked away with 500 books from there, all from reputable authors, many of whom have won awards for their books. And Jennine, you’d like it a lot too because there was a huge Christian section. It didn’t benefit me (being Jewish) but I know it’s something you would have loved.

I’m so excited that you made it to the Book Warehouse! I’ve driven by it at least 50 times (no lie – in the course of my life I have drive the east coast at a minimum of 25 times) and never made it in. I was so worried that you wouldn’t make it there because you taking another highway!
Like I said, I ‘m SO excited that you made it 🙂

It’s worth it, so next time, make the stop and go! I’d drive 25 minutes out of my way to go in the future, if I was close by. Although it’s like 5 minutes off of I-75, right outside of FL, exit 5 in GA.

That books in the second pic is really nice! I found similar looking books at a second hand book store (although not so neat), but I was out of money so I couldn’t buy it. I think one was Dickens and the other were Shakespeare etc. I don’t read Shakespeare, but I would’ve bought the books just for the covers!
