Your library sounds wonderful — right down to the paintings and globes.

I’m not sure what I’d do with a windfall… Put it someplace interest-bearing and consider my options indefinitely, probably.

Frances — I have spent many hours in that library, and it is (largely*) delightful. Unfortunately, I have not yet been able to devise a way to take it home with me!

*Actually, it tends to overheat in summer, and it is sometimes hard to find places to sit because the couches are taken up by snoring, sleeping students… and others. But on the whole, it is lovely.

That is a photo that dreams are made of for certain. I have a similar dream photo of a huge comfy bed where the headboard is actually the entire wall behind the bed full of shelves and books. What a great question today! A chance to dream.

My dream house would include a library too! Then my books wouldn't be scattered all over. Melissa - Shhh I'm Reading’s latest blog post:Booking Through Thursday...Windfall

Jess — I’d love to have a real library in my home! Right now most of my books live in my bedroom, and the rest are divided between my parents’ room, the hall, and the basement stairwell. Our house isn’t near big enough to have a dedicated library room, but I think I’d like that someday.

Kool-Aid Mom — I don’t do most of my reading where my books are, either. I’m more likely to read in the living room, and there are a few random piles of books there, but it’s not a dedicated book space. It has the couches, though!

An all-out library in my home is a fantasy of mine, too. Our "dining room" is a library in the sense it's where most of the books are located, but we don't sit in there and read because the table is always covered with stuff and the litter pan's there. Yuck! With that left over money, I'd have to install a kitty door and put an end to the stinky litter. The Kool-Aid Mom’s latest blog post:BTT ~ Grab Me a Bit of the Lone Star
