#inyourwildestdreamsbooktag Original tag created by Heathereads Questions: 1. Your fantasy time and place to read a book 2. Your fantasy personal library, or your personal library if you have attained that fantasy 3. Imagine you have decided to build a bookshop. What would you call it? Would it sell new or secondhand books? Would it sell anything else? What features would you want in that shop? 4. One person, not a booktuber, with whom you can find a good conversation about books 5. If you won a million dollars (or pounds, or yen, or euros, etc.), and you could only spend it on books and book-related items, how would you spend it?
