There are several reasons why I love traveling to England. The lovely landscape, the weather (not too hot), the heritage, the museums, the language… and the books. I read mostly English books, and while they are readily available in the Netherlands, they are often twice as expensive as the recommended retail price in England. Also, I love medieval history, and I can find much more books on that subject in England than here. So anytime I travel to England, I have a long list of books I want to get, and I find even more.

On our last trip I packed light on purpose. We flew with Easy Jet, which means they are very strickt with the allowed 20kg per person, but also that the carry-on lugagge can be as heavy as you want. So, I took a bag with me that fit the exact measurements, and during the trip I loaded it full. In the end we got 42 new books. Twelve of those books were guidebooks, bought at the attractions, but the other 30 were real books…. .

Anyway, all my books were dutifuly entered into LibraryThing, so you can see them here.
