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?

4. When it comes to short story collections, are you annoyed if there's a novella in the middle of the collection?
5. Deckled edges: beautiful or annoying?
6. Other people's annotations in a used book or library book: Annoying or are you OK with it?
