*It has also come to my attention that this list is also part of a linkup with Allison at The Book Wheel and Rebecca at Love at First Book. They actually have a list of 50 things so there's some great ideas!
1. Visit Greenway, Agatha Christie's home and other important sites in her life.
2. Visit Prince Edward Island and tour all the Anne of Green Gables stuff.
3. Spend an entire rainy day doing nothing but reading
4. Read 200 books in a year (I've topped out t about 130 lately)
5. Have a wild, no holds barred, no budget spending spree in a bookstore.
6. Have a reading nook that is for nothing other than reading
7. Collect all the Patricia Wentworth books. She a British mystery writer that should be way more famous than she is. She also rivaled Christie for the number of books.
8. Have a library where I can install one of those library ladders.
9. Have enough bookcases for the number of books I own.
10. Take a reading vacation - do nothing but relax for a long weekend and get lots of books read!
I love your number ten great list also love the idea of a nook.

Thanks! I have plans for where I want it to go just need a bit more time!
DeleteWonderful list! And a lot of them are totally doable. I'll bet you could carve out a single rainy day for reading sometime this year, and probably the long weekend as well. And ah, Greenway -- that's on my places-to-vist list, too. PEI is gorgeous and it was a lot of fun seeing the Anne sites. (Also, don't miss a stop at Cows for the best ice cream ever. Try the Island blueberry - delicious!)
ReplyDeleteThanks! I tried to keep them doable. Thanks for the PEI rec! The ice cream sounds heavenly.
DeleteI love the idea of a shopping spree in a bookstore with nothing to hold you back. The possibilities are endless. Great list.

I'm kind of curious if I could actually do it or if my usual cheapness would hold me back. Regardless, it'd be fun to try!
DeleteAll ten of your goals sound good, Katherine! A shopping spree in a bookstore with no limit, to spend an entire rainy day reading, a library requiring a ladder! Heaven!
ReplyDeleteThanks! One day, one day!
DeleteAny particular destination for #10 or does that not matter? :)

At this point I'm not picky! Home might be the most economical since I probably wouldn't be seeing many sights where ever I was!
DeleteYou definitely should go see all the Anne stuff in PEI. :) I went years ago and really want to go again!
ReplyDeleteWe thought about going in 2008 but just couldn't make it work. We will definitely be going at some point though!
DeleteOh, a budget-free book splurge sound incredible! I love that this was a Top Ten Tuesday - I hope you come by and link it up to the Original Bookish Bucket List, too!
ReplyDeleteThanks! I think so but not sure if I could actually make myself do it. I think my cheap side my chicken out at the last moment. Still, a girl can dream!
DeleteI love all your lists! #7 on this list is great. I don't know more than a couple of other people (people I've been able to talk into trying her) who love Patricia Wentworth. I think The Catherine-Wheel is probably my favorite. At least this week.
