This week's question for the Hop:
"What is the one bookish thing you would love to have, no matter the cost?"
A reading room that's all tricked out!
I want it to have a full coffee bar, and the comfiest chairs ever and bookshelves everywhere and a big screen tv (sometimes I need background noise), and giant beautiful windows and comfy blankets and pillows and ... and... and.... XD There's so much!
This week's question for Follow Friday:
If you have, or would have a daughter, what book
would you want your daughter to read?
Well... let's consider this? What age are we talking about here?
Young: Stephen Kellogg, David Weisner, Magic Treehouse, to name a few
Mid-Grade: I would like to encourage books like Cornelia Funke's stuff for slightly younger kids
YA: I can tell you what I will try to keep my daughter from reading... and that is anything Twilight-esque... anything where the girl thinks life isn't worth living unless she's in a relationship, anything where the relationship is unhealthy and abusive and yet still touted as an amazing love story.
As for what I would hope she would read? Things like Harry Potter, Narnia, Lord of the Rings, The Hounds of the Morrigan, Percy Jackson...

ReplyDeleteI do not have a post set up this week for hopping but I did just finish a new review :)
I would love to have a library at my finger tips at all times... Oh, I do, my Nook. Now for a million books to land on it!
A book for my figurative girl... Twenty Boy Summer & Speak.

Well, my wonderful baby girl just turned 25 - which is great because we can share books adult-to-adult.
ReplyDeleteAnd she's already read (and enjoyed) my very favorite book which is The Egg and I by Betty McDonald! :D
Per the other Q - I'd love to have a fully tricked out *gentleman's* club Victorian styled library. Like the kind you read about in Sherlock Holmes!

I like your reading room idea. i would like one of those divan chairs / fainting couches that you lounge on. Do not have space for one however.
ReplyDeleteLove your book room description!

Dropping via the friday hops. Already a follower. For this week's question, I'd like to have my own library. Check my answer at Clandestine Sanctuary. Enjoy the weekend! :)
ReplyDeleteHopping through. I'm an old follower.
ReplyDeleteYour reading room sounds like it would be amazing! I wouldn't mind my own personal super sweet library myself.

Hopping by to say hi! That's what I would want too! A beautiful library/reading room with a cozy knook and built in bookshelves.

Happy Halloween!
Sounds like a fantastic idea...I'd definitely love hanging out there :D I completely forgot about furniture & trimmings in my response. Here's my post. Have a great Hallowe'en :)
ReplyDeleteMy daughter, who is now in college, loved reading the Betsy-Tacy books by Maud Hart Lovelace :)
ReplyDeleteFollowing you. Love what you said about what you would keep your daughter from reading

A really awesome comfy reading chair :)
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my blog! Who wouldn't want their own library and comfy reading chair?! Have a great weekend!
ReplyDeleteA tricked out book reading room! Sounds awesome.
ReplyDeleteIf I had a daughter and she was in her tweens/teens, I would want her to read "The Disreputable History of Frankie Landau-Banks"! I agree that Twilight is problematic in a lot of ways. Also, a tricked-out bookroom sounds great!
ReplyDeleteThanks for dropping by my blog. Your reading room sounds amazing! I would love to have something like that and I'm working on it slowly but surely. Have an awesome weekend!
ReplyDeleteooh, I like your idea of the coffee bar!
ReplyDeletethanks for stopping by my book blog, my kozy korner, from the hop and for following! I'm your newest follower (through my main blog) :-)
Hopping through. What do Stephen Kellogg and David Weisner right?
ReplyDeleteI would want a library, like they have in some of the great manor houses in England. Complete with media center and comfy chairs. The one book, that I would want my daughter to read is Pride and Prejudice.
