It was one of the reasons I picked a house with so many rooms, even if they are tiny (newer houses have tiny bedrooms). I always wanted a room just for my books. I just hope the doorway won't be an issue. It's funny shaped because the closet is built out into the room rather than in the wall.

I need a new e-reader tbh. Mine is so old and outdated that it's no longer supported and inconvenient to put new books on. Which is why I use my phone

Sounds like your e-reader is one of the first ever published? x'D
I never thought they are already outdated Oo

Even a tiny library is an awesome library!! xD
And we would probably buy a house with several tiny rooms as well. My partner is into miniatures (tabletop, like Warhammer) and he has quite a lot. So a showroom would be awesome. Or a room just dedicated to creating, collecting and playing with these miniatures :P
And then we need an art room xD

Yeah, it was the first touch screen one, but it was really glitchy when I got it. It has to be almost 10 years old? I got it before I graduated high school. And that's going to be 8 years. So more than 8 years old. I've been looking at a kindle, but I buy a bunch of my ebooks on barnes and nobles nook app since that's where I started. but I have some from Amazon because I use my digital credits towards ebooks.

Oh that sounds awesome. I love just staring at things. I have a few figurines I am going to use a shelf or two for displaying them. Probably next to my manga (I have a lot of manga and books. I'm addicted to buying them) oh, my other spare room is going to be my craft room. I'm not in a hurry for that one because all I've been doing is knitting

I eould love a teading room or small library. Right now we don’t have any room dedicated to books or figurines but we have them on shelves in the living room and kitchen.

Yeah, I mean I would have displayed then somewhere eventually but now I'll have a dedicated little nook for them. I also got quite a collection of character keychains to display (which might have expanded quite a but from my trip to Japan).

So I printed out a shawl pattern to try...just to remember I don't have a flipping clue how to read knitting patterns which was why I have been sticking to basic blankets. Guess it's time to learn.

Man the only Funko Pop I have are 4 from the Seraph of the End. I never got all 6 because you had to go to two different stores to get them. Oh and I have Armin from attack on Titan only because I was scared to put it back because they had them right at the door sensors and it went off when I picked it up. But I was staring at it for a while so I decided it was meant to be...after I bought it

I have the seraph of the end ones too! I’m just missing one of the exclusives because I didn’t want to put the effort into it.

Figurines would indeed fit into a library. Sounds like quite a good idea!!

We have way too many Funkos Pops :mcargh:
We have all the Flashs; Sam and Dean from Supernatural; K.I.T.T., some Overwatch figurines, most of the Doctor Who figurines; some Alice in Wonderland, some Sword Art Online x'D

I checked the Seraph of the End ones and I think I have seen Demon Yuichiro and Ferid Bathory. But well, we have at least four stores in our town that sell a heck ton of Funkos... so maybe I have seen them all, but don't remember because of the 200 other Funkos sitting next to them.

(We had 7 stores, but I think 3 took them out of their programme because the others just had more space and were dedicated mainly to those figures.)

Yeah I don't remember what two I'm missing but seraph of the end is one of my favorite mangas.

Oh I surprisingly found them at a Walmart. I don't think they have then anymore. It was a short spree for them. Or they just don't carry a lot anymore. Besides that only one other store I can think of carries a lot, but I hardly go to the mall anymore. The bookstore carries a few, but more from what you listed, I see mostly current shows there with occasional classics, but it's a small display.
