2023 Build Your Library Reading Challenge

Top Ten Tuesday: My Beauty and the Beast (Dream) Library
1:00 AM
It's Tuesday, time for my favorite weekly book meme! I've skipped the last couple topics either because I was out of town or because the topic du jour had me stumped. This week's prompt, Top Ten Books I've Read That I'd Like in My Personal Library, is problematic, too, since I don't even need a complete sentence to answer the question—ALL the books, people, ALL the books! So, I'm going to twist it up a little bit and go with Top Ten Personal Libraries I'd Love to Call My Own. Gazing at beautiful home libraries is always a good time, so I'm excited to show you some favorites from my Internet trolling.
Before we get to that, though, I just want to urge you to join in on the TTT fun. All you have to do is click over to That Artsy Reader Girl for some brief instructions, make your own list, then hop around the book blogosphere checking out other bloggers' lists. It's a good time and a great way to spread the love around our awesome online book community.
Okay, here we go with Top Ten Personal Libraries I'd Love to Call My Own:
Apparently, my dream library is one of two types—either the traditional Beauty and the Beast version like the first five below or the light, bright libraries with a view a la the last five. If I had my druthers, I'd build myself one of the former, with gleaming wooden shelves (that I'd hire someone else to dust), a roaring fireplace, a comfy chair, and, of course, floor-to-ceiling shelves. Since the latter is more practical (let's be honest), I could definitely "settle" for bright white bookshelves, a big window showcasing a lovely view, and a cushy armchair (my back wouldn't be able to handle a window seat). I guess it's a good thing I don't have libraries like these in my house because I'd never leave them ...
How about you? What would your dream home library look like? I'd truly love to know. Leave me a comment on this post and I will gladly return the favor on yours.
Happy TTT!
