Book Blogger Hop...


The Friday Book Blogger Hop is hosted by Crazy For Books, and today's question is:

"What is the one bookish thing you would love to have, no matter the cost?"

Ahhh....this is a very, very dangerous question.  Similar to Crazy for Books, and I'm sure you all may feel the same way, too...I'd be super ecstatic to have my very own separate large library in my home.  You know the kind -- the kind you find in London or Italy, dark wood, an open middle with a spiral stairway leading up to the second level...this is the closest picture that I could find.

Sigh.  One day.


Happy Reading!

    I love your library! Now that's what I want in my house....but I think I'd have to get another house to fit that library!

    Thanks for stopping by our blog, Brazen Broads Book Bash!

    Oh, yes! A library filled with floor to ceiling bookshelves, big comfy chairs - and a spiral bookcase, I hadn't thought of that - would be fantastic!

    Stop by my blog to check out our new Friday Wish-list Hop!

  14. TrishOctober 29, 2010 at 8:23 AM

    Glorious! The only thing I would change in that room is the chair. A library needs a collection of big, pouffy, comfy chairs. The other thing I would have to add is time. My one bookish desire would be to have heaps and heaps of book reading time.

    I also would love to have a home with shelves all over the walls, and am always trying to convince my husband that we need to find a house like that! Great minds think alike!

    I'd like a room just like yours. :)

    But failing that: I'd like a newly discovered first/first signed copy of Pride and Prejudice. HA!

    Then I'd probably sell it and buy the library.

    I love that room, except I would need a fireplace so I am envisioning a fireplace somewhere off camera. :) Happy reading

  35. Leslie (Under My Apple Tree)October 29, 2010 at 8:29 PM

    That is exactly the library I was picturing when I answered the question today. Except I would like a larger window so I can see the garden outside. And I assume there is a fireplace in there too, just out of range of the camera!

    Whoa! I want that too- that library would be fantastic. Much better than my overloaded bookshelves!

    That would be wonderful, your own separate library! Requiring a pretty big house, perhaps on a forested lot or by the beach, with a couple of horses :)
