    I don't have an actual bookshelf,

    so I bought a huge bin. I figured I would never fill that thing up. But guess what? It's now overflowing. I have books crammed inside, on top of the lid, on my bed, under my bed, and scattered throughout the house. I still think it's not enough! So, I want a house with a...

    Simply because I love to read.

    I love reading whether it be online or an actual book, of course I like actual books better but I read off of wattpad an awful lot too.

    I want to be surrounded by actual books!

    Yes Kindle and iBooks are okay. But there is something about the smell and feel of what I am reading that puts me at ease. Give me a home library and I will be complete!

    I love that we can hold history in our hands thanks to libraries. I'd love to have a library in my own home, kind of like from Beauty and the Beast, where Beast gives the library to Belle as a gift. Although I doubt I'd be able to have a library that big. The smell of a new book...

    I have wanted a library in my home

    for the longest time and after a lifetime of collecting books, my wife and I had the 1st floor of our 140 years old house gutted and remodeled. In one room we decided to have a dedicated library and I have a place for all my books. It is a dream finally come true.

    Libraries played an important role in my childhood. I grew up in a small town with the good fortune of a mid-sized library. From a young age I would walk there each week, borrowing 2-4 books from the children's section in the basement, the thrill of using my library card to...

    I don't just want a library,

    I think it's becoming a necessity. All these books stacked everywhere must be a fire hazard. Plus apparently towers of books in the bedroom isn't conducive to a sexy atmosphere. Who knew?

    A library in my home of five thousand books.

    That would be the ultimate. Would not matter if I rad them all...he'll probably wouldn't but I'd read a lot of them. Also it would create such a beautiful atmosphere. I recommend them to anyone who can afford it.

    I think it would be fabulous to have a home large enough for a library.  I would fill mine with first editions of all my favorites.  How about you?  What would be the first book you would purchase for your library?
