Visiting Bookstores Abroad
At every bookstore I visited (yes, I do flock to bookstores like bees to pollen), I looked on the shelves to see if I could find any of my blog buddies on the shelves. Unfortunately, the Greek alphabet requires names to be translated and transliterated, and while the results were amusing, it did mean I didn't find the people I was looking for. For grins and giggles, I took some photographs of books that I was familiar with in English or titles with authors I've seen here on livejournal.
There's Dragonology, which I own and love, back there in the corner of the display.
Peter and the Starcatchers, among other titles on display. (I can't tell if the Eric Carle titles made it into this one or not, but The Very Hungry Caterpillar is just as cute in Greek as in English.)
I love how they spell Brian Jacques and Terry Pratchett. I didn't take pictures of the Harry Potter books, but it requires two letters for the J in J. K. Rowling.
Appropriate to see the other Artemis while we were in Greece. (In the photo is the Artemis Fowl series, if you're unfamiliar.)
Apparently, Unfortunate Events happen in series all over the world. (Also, Lemony starting with a lambda? I love it!)
blackholly made appearances in both Greece...
...and Heathrow in London.
So, while I didn't see terribly many of my blog buddies (making me extra glad I'd brought their books with me), I did have fun looking at the books and surreptitiously taking photographs.
Some people in the last comments expressed hope that I'd post more pictures here. I can certainly do that if people are interested (though the novel tours were meant to capture the basics of the sites we visited). If I do post more pictures, what would you like to see?
