Why is Hudson News our only option at Airports!? Freaking LAX!…read more They have self check out which is nice and convenient. I feel like these stores aren't usually busy so not sure how necessary self check out was. But it's here and so that's a good thing for fast & easy checkout. I dislike lines and usually end up at Hudson News to avoid a sprawling line at Starbucks or McD's. Their prices are expensive but they have a wide array of drinks and snacks, a few gifts like See's Candies you can bring to others. They don't have a lot of coffee drink options though which will never cease to surprise me. And when you check out your coffee drinks, prepare for sticker shock. A bottled coffee and water cost me $13.33, sigh.

We went on a big family trip this month, and in the chaos of packing and leaving for the airport, I…read moreforgot to take a book. Thankfully, Book Soup has a little bookstore inside the international terminal at LAX, and I dropped in for a quick shop before it was time to board. I love the main Book Soup in West Hollywood, as well as its larger sister store Vroman's in Pasadena. This airport outpost is less interesting, of course, but it's an excellent airport bookstore, with a good selection of titles organized for easy browsing, plus plenty of gift items to impulse buy near the register. I picked up a copy of Andrew Sean Greer's new novel "Villa Coco," which seemed like the perfect read for a vacation in Europe, and a paperback of "Bunny" by Mona Awad. I also got a cool Los Angeles-themed bookmark for my kid, who recently started reading books on his own. Buying two books for a trip with kids was beyond hopeful (I believe I read 25 pages total before coming home), but they were books I wanted anyway, and I look forward to reading them. If you have more free time on your trip, I'd highly recommend a visit to Book Soup before you go. At the very least, it's a fun place to browse.

I only read when I'm in the mood and read only something highly recommended. I came through here to see if they had anything by Mitch Albom I haven't read yet. (He's one I sorta follow.) Found one immediately! It'll come in handy on a long flight! Service was under par. The two workers didn't look like they wanted to be there. Meh. The selections are pretty vast for a small spot. I'd still recommend it if books are your thing.

Lemme say I live Book Soup- have been a customer at the original shop since the late 80s. Was…read morepleased to see a they have a spot at LAX. But Tried to make a purchase before my flight. There seemed to be two people working the shop. One told me the other person would be right with me. The other person was too busy doing other things (walking around aimlessly holding a NY Times ) to actually ring up a customer. People have flights to catch- patience and waiting aren't always viable in such situations. Had to leave without making a purchase. Thanks Book Soup.

We do go to this location more often than other Barnes locations because it is closer but once…read moreagain, we went in last night and Jasmine was visibly horrible to us. We walked in, she glared at us- I tried not to think much of it, but as she was finishing ringing me up I looked up to thank her and she was literally grimacing at me, and this was after she tried to hurriedly ring me up without even asking if I was a rewards member (I am) or anything else. I keep trying to give her the benefit of the doubt because I also work in retail, but girl just seems miserable. Literally I have NO other issues with any other employee there, everyone else has been so kind so I brought my review up to 4 stars from 3. But if you're going to give me a dirty look Jasmine, wait until I turn around. This is a smaller location but I'll continue to visit, I just really hope Jasmine isn't there- it's always uncomfortable when she is.
