In your own space, create a wishlist.

-all sorts of books always on my wishlist - too many to mention in this post - lots of books of all different types - I am forever buying books. The list changes all the time but it always contains books - of all kinds - kindle, audio and real books.

-I would love a bit of artwork to accompany my current fanfic - Maedhros and Fingon as young lads before all their troubles during the First Age - I am writing about their growing up in Valinor. So them as young lads.

-stickers for my journal. I cannot stop buying those on Etsy so I am always looking for cute little stickers for those.

(still thinking but this is the first things I have come up with. I will add to this if I can think of more)

I don't know if this is possible for you, but I have been astounded by how much money I'm 'saving' by using my library. (They print it on every receipt.) The first year was over $800 and this past year was over $1,000! Another thing I like about using the library is that I can read books I might not have spent the money to buy, just to try them out. I've really broadened my reading that way.

Would you be able to link to some of the types of stickers you like?

Wow, that's such a great idea by your library! It's amazing how much the cost builds up isn't it. I miss being able to browse in a library, ours do a click and collect service but it isn't the same as browsing along the aisle selecting books.

I was pretty excited the first time I saw that on the receipt, and watching the number grow with each visit. *g*

Our library is Really Tiny, lol! I'm lucky that they're part of a system with a lot of other libraries and so I can request books from any of them. So basically, online is the easiest way for me, sadly.

That's great that you can get books in from other libraries, we can do that if the book we want is available at another library within our county. But a little sad that you can't browse the bookshelves. I joined my local library as a small child and have always loved the ability to wander around the library just admiring books, even if I wasn't interested in reading them, lol. As a teen I always loved the reference library too, and the amazing old books they had there, histories and maps of the area from the 1700s and 1800s. I really should join a local history group, lol!

Those are excellent wishes, I always think that one can never have too many books. I love that feeling of opening a new book and the anticipation of the world you are about to become immersed in.

Stickers are wonderful aren't they, inexpensive, don't take up too much room and you can use them anywhere!

Good luck with your wishes, thank you for taking part in the challenge.
