| Taking books away on holidays. When I was little and our family used to go away on holidays, I would always take this huge backpack full of books. My Dad used to stand there with this shocked look on his face when I loaded it into the car and he'd say to Mum "But we're only going away for FIVE DAYS!" Since I've gotten older, I've only ever taken 2 or 3. We're going away again soon and I'm thinking of ways I can stuff as many books as possible into my suitcase  How many books do you take away on holidays? __________________ Sarah Michael: Why me?

| Passionate Fan   | When my parents and I went to Ireland over the summer for 16 days I took three paperbacks, read all of them, and then bought a new book while I was there. I always take books, and normally I'll take used paperbacks and then leave them at the hotel or B&B so that other people can enjoy them too. __________________ Come stop by the Books Board for a visit. 148.94 million square kilometers on the face of the Earth, and I plan on walking every single one of them!

| Last year, I didn't take any away with me, and man did I suffer because I really struggled to find a bookstore while I was travelling. I think I found one shop and bought 3 incase I didn't have chance to find another. I did find a store on my last day though and bought another 2 to keep me occupied on the flight home. This year I already have some picked out and recommended by a friend, so I'll be prepared! __________________ I think the world may just surprise you yet.

| Depends on the length of the trip, where I am going/for what reason, the books I have handy, and the amount of time I will spend in an airport/on an airplane. Usually between two and five books, almost always paperback since they take up less space. | |||

| It depends on the length of the trip, how I'm getting there (I get carsick reading, but I'm ok on trains and planes), and what I'm doing. For instance, when I was in Austria/Germany last May, I brought one book, read it, and then bought two more because I was only three days into the trip! Usually, though, I'll take two or three. __________________ Bones ~ CSI ~ ER | |||

| Usually it's one book every five days. If I'm going to spend time on the beach or travelling, then I bring more. I always bring paperbacks so they don't get my bag too heavy.  __________________ - Alessandra - Photographs Blog | |||

| Master Fan  | I usually take three books no matter where I'm going or for how long i'll be gone. Because there's always the plane trip, or drive, at night before I go to bed, and on most trips have a day that's boring. So I usually finish two and have one just in case __________________ | |||

| Fan Forum's Finest  | I always get so tempted to buy a stack of books at the airport. I tend to take light reading when I'm on holiday, Dan Brown or something. I once tried reading Thucydides on holiday which was needless to say, a very bad idea  __________________ who makes you feel the way | |||

| I usually bring 2 or 3 depending on how long I'll be away. Mostly fact-books about Royal families because I read them slower than regular books! __________________ Big Love | Grey's Anatomy | Lost Barb/Bill | Margene/Bill | Addison/Derek | Izzie/George | Kate/Sawyer | Juliet/Jack | Sun/Jin | |||

| I always pack a lot of books for vacation. Part of the fun of packing is deciding on what books to take. __________________ "Did you seriously just stamp your foot?
