Oh yes!!! Especially in my later days, having a bookstore for my future kids to grow up in and growing old having the comfort of a used bookstore in a small seaside town is such a dream. Inspiration of my dream from the Wedding Planners Daughter.

I would love to own a bookstore. I would be soooo happy to just be among books all day. It's a comforting smell, I would be happy.

It would be the coolest thing ever! I feel like even just working in a bookstore would be great! There's a really cool one in my town and I've applied there a couple times but no cigar :(

Once upon a time I wanted to own my own book shop. On some level I still think about it. Unfortunately my geographic location isn't ideal. We've already had all but Barnes & Noble close up here. There just isn't a market for bookshops. I even thought about an online shop, but who can compete with the Amazons and the iTunes of the world? Plus, I have no idea of business, so definitely not a dream likely to come true. Le sigh.

I always dream of owning a bookstore. But I am not completely sure if I'd be able to sell books. I'd want to keep them all.
I'd buy any book I want and provide readers with most recents books. That would be awesome.

I don't think I'd ever want to own a bookstore, although with the amount of books I currently own I could probably open one up! :)
