Last week I posted some Bookish Dutch ((Bookish) Dutch 101.1) because I'd received some questions and I think it's fun to learn about foreign languages and just suppose other people like it as well.
Today I'm taking the conversation to a very important place: De boekwinkel! (Bookstore). Most bookstores in the Netherlands will have at least some selection of English titles available. Mostly best-sellers but sometimes they've got a nice choice of books. So, it's not necessarily a problem should you run out of books (The horror!) on vacation, it would be the perfect reason to buy more books. I know that in Amsterdam there are also some English/American bookstores like the ABC and (I think but I'm not sure) a Waterstones.
The English translation are once again in the spoilers, so try and see how many you can guess correctly!
First a very important word I forgot last week:
