Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List
1. Own a first edition of Pride & Prejudice AND The Lord of The Rings Trilogy.
2. Go to the National Archives and actually INTO the Library of Congress.
I want to be able to touch all the things in there.
3. Read more classics
Such as War & Peace, Wuthering Heights, The Adventures of Sherlock Holmes, Dante’s Divine Comedy
4. Have an actual library in my house, maybe one with two stories of books, like the one in Beauty and the Beast?
5. Have a review of mine published somewhere.
6. Go to BEA
I could do a day trip this year, since I live about an hour away, but I hate going by myself.
7. Sit around a whole day in a beautiful little cafe in Paris, drinking wine and reading a book.
8. Read Joyce-in Ireland.
9. Meet one of my favorite authors.
Some are long dead, so it narrows the field.
10. Own a Bookstore.
A small one, close to where I live. I could bring my dogs, or at least the friendly one. I would bring fresh coffee and cookies, hold book club events. Sigh….
Maybe I could just find a nice one to work in?
I would love to own a bookstore as well, but actually didn’t include that on my list for some reason.
I would love to have a library in my house. Even if it isn’t as magnificent as the one from Beauty and the Beast. I want the rolling- ladder thing 🙂
I would love to have an actual library!
Library of Congress is amazing. I was a library student and it was a dream to go there and see (almost) everything.

I forgot about first edition books, but I would definitely want one of Pride and Prejudice, as well. And I would love to buy it at your bookstore because it also sounds amazing. I would love having one of those, too.
What a great bucket list – I want my own library too and the one in Beauty and the Beast would do very nicely 🙂
Haha, it would be interesting to go through all the responses and see just how many of us want a library in our house!

Who wouldn’t want their own library? I’ve always wanted one with a sliding ladder…
I would love to sit in Paris for a day and read books! I love how this is a Top Ten Tuesday. You may want to link up to the original Bookish Bucket List, too!
