Whether you’re one of them or not, what would you spend an unexpected windfall on? Say €¦ $50? How about $500?
(And, this is a reading meme, so by rights the answer should be book-related, but hey, feel free to go wild and splurge on anything you like.)
Let me see – $50 is about £33, so that would buy a few books, of course and that’s what I’d spend it on. Which books? I could just go to my wishlist and buy off that, but as part of the enjoyment is choosing I’d probably go to a bookshop and spend time browsing.
Ten times that amount and I’d consider buying an E-Book Reader. Although I’m not too sure I can read e-books it would save a lot of space and mean I wouldn’t have to limit myself to just a few books when I go away on holiday etc. If we had more space I’d buy more bookcases.
And if it was a really big windfall I’d like space for a library – wouldn’t that be good?

I suppose buying a library is really cool!

OOh… I didn’t think of an e-reader, that’d be a good one, too. I have two bookcases that are my TBR book shelves, plus about 4 or 5 other bookcases that are mostly books I haven’t read yet, but haven’t made it to TBR status, yet, either.

I’ve fantasized that if I ever had a lot of money I’d find a cute farmhouse that had an old barn on the property and have the barn renovated into a library. I’ve seen photos of such renovations that have made me drool. Now, if only I could get that huge windfall!

I’d opt for more space, too, for more bookshelves. All my books on shelves….what a nice thought! And in order, too…
