When I saw this library ladder I immediately put it on my mental bucket list and then crossed it off. Climbing one of these would have been on it already if I had only thought of it. One woman even walked by and said, “It’s Belle!” Precisely. Now I have lived! If only I had a house with a library like this… and a lovely fainting couch to lounge on… and a smoking jacket, which is really just a rich man’s slanket.
Speaking of books, I have an upcoming interview with one of my favorite authors, Christopher Healy of the Hero’s Guide to Saving Your Kingdom series, so stay tuned!

All libraries should be equipped with one of those.

We girls can dream, right? Whichever of us gets a house like that first needs to invite the other. BYOS (Bring your own slanket. 😉 )

Ah. Thank you for that blast from the past. Of course you, as a Brit, would go to that movie. I was going for Beauty and the Beast. Are you trying to say I look more like Angela Lansbury than Belle?!?!

Haha, not at all! Maybe I should have phrased it better when I said that was the first thing I thought of when I saw the picture of you! It was the set-up that made me think of it not you as such! 🙂

I am going to build house just so I can have one of those ladders. However, by time I get it finished, I’ll likely have to hire someone else to climb up and down it for me.

Would you just point out the book you want with a laser pointer?

They’d be racing all over the books then.

Well, so long as you just keep the pointer on one book. That’s a better idea. Use a pointer, not a laser light. I’m sure you can fashion a pointer out of wood. 🙂
