This week’s topic was “show us your bookcases.” While I do technically own one bookcase, it’s filled with clothes, random knickknacks, spare charging cords for our various electronic devices, and tic tacs because my spouse loves that candy.
In order to stick to the spirit of the prompt, I’m going to tweak it just a little so I can share my dream bookcase with you all.
Many bookcases out there are quite tall. I’m a little shorter than average, so it always makes me a tad nervous to stand on my tiptoes and try to grab a book on the top shelf. This is even more true if the book is oddly shaped or heavier than usual as I have scary thoughts of one of them falling onto my face and scratching my cornea or cracking my glasses. (Yes, my fears are quite specific sometimes. Ha!)
Therefore, my ideal bookcase would be one that I could reach every shelf comfortably.
The thought of it existing in a little nook of a house that might otherwise be hard to make full use of delights me, too.
I love the wooden frame over the doorway of this bookcase. Wood is such a warm and cheerful material. I’d want to have rabbits carved into my frame because they’re my favourite animal.
Ideally, my bookcase and the nook it was placed in would be somewhat larger than this one. I would like to have a soft, comfortable chair in that little room or maybe right outside of it in the hallway or next room as well if I could. It would make such a cozy spot to sit and read.
There you have it. Something like this would be a perfect bookcase to me.
This stock photo made me giggle. Don’t take it too seriously.
My perfect weekend getaway would happen on Prince Edward Island.
The possibilities are endless, and I’d relish any of them.
Spending time in nature is one of my non-bookish hobbies. My idea of a good time is taking a walk in the woods, by the beach, or in some other natural setting where I can let the sounds of birds tweeting and leaves rustling wash over me.
1) They are kind, loving, and accepting of everyone.
This was such a fun and easy prompt to do!
That is the sum total of my celebrity experiences. I tend to avoid celebrity culture and take an alternate route if I see paparazzi clogging up a sidewalk here in Toronto, but I hope everyone who is into that sort of stuff has plenty of opportunities to rub elbows with celebrities if they so desire to.
“Lordy, I don’t know!” was my first response to this week’s prompt.
Summer is an excellent time to read in Toronto, especially once the temperatures and humidity soar in July and it becomes uncomfortable to spend a lot of time outdoors during the heat of the day.
