Must Remember This For When I Build My Own House

I have in my head at this very moment, the exact design for the house I will build when I finally win the lottery that I never buy tickets for.  But, after seeing what Holly Black has done in her home, I realize I need to revise my plans a little bit to include my very own Hidden Library.  My previous floor plans included a library, but now it will have to be hidden behind a bookcase.

Please go to this website to see Holly Black’s Hidden Library.  It is so much cooler when you think that she is the author of the Spiderwick books and lots of other awesome YA urban fairy tales.  Maybe since I have met her once, briefly at a conference she would give me a tour of her whole house….ya think?

    Ooh, that’s awesome! I am totally having one in my future house too. Although for my future hidden library, I have to have lots of windows so I will be able to see the ocean. There must also be room for my grand piano. I’m not sure how the shelving will work…I may have to store books in the floor the way Lane stores CDs on Gilmore Girls.

    Yeah, the only thing I would change about Holly’s library is that mine would not be in the basement because it would have to have lots of windows too.
