Everyone knows that a book lover's favorite place to go is either the library or Barnes & Noble. What they don't know is the thoughts that run through our heads while we're there.

1. It smells so good

Nothing smells quite like the mix of coffee and printed pages.

2. I want to look at everything

Honestly, it's hard to know where to turn first

3. Coffee would make this wonderful

Books + coffee = bliss

4. Ooh! I want that

*me looking at every single thing in the store.

5. Look, I love that book

You kind of just lovingly stroke the cover and remember the characters and vow to reread it as soon as possible.

6. Can I buy this one

Is there anything better than getting new books?

7. How many of these can I actually afford

Unfortunately, this is not the magical world of fiction and things cost actual money. Bummer. Guess it's time to narrow down my stack of 50 to a stack of about 2.

8. Wonder who else has looked at this exact copy

It's just been sitting there on the shelf. The future president could have picked it up. Or your professor. Or one of your best friends. You never know.

9. Can I just live here

Can you legitimately name a better place to live than surrounded by more books than you can read in a lifetime?
