Welcome back to Would You Rather Wednesday! This is the first one of 2019. I hope that you all enjoy this series. If you would like to keep seeing it, let me know in the comments below. I always loved doing the would you rather questions as a kid so I thought it would be a wonderful way to engage more of you who follow my blog.
First I want to mention that I got the idea from Krystyna (Turning the Pages) and her weekly bookish meme challenge. I took part in her post last week, but Wednesdays work better for my blogging schedule, so I created my own weekly challenge. I hope that you all enjoy it!
Would you rather (12):
Be a librarian or a bookstore owner
Oh, easy! Bookstore all the way. I actually want to own a used book store when I am older. I thought about it a lot. The bookstore would have a small cafe, I worked at Starbucks so I could man the cafe as well. The store would be small, nothing too large. My husband has a business degree and can help run the business side of things, while I will handle the actual store and customer service aspects.
A librarian might be cool but there is no profit in that and I have kids as well as bills to pay. It would be lovely working in a library, helping others find a fantastic book they fall in love with. I could do that at a bookstore though and help my family in the process. Besides, how cool would it be to own your own bookstore?
What do you think…which would you choose?
Since I am a librarian, I have to pick that. I worked in a bookstore once and it killed my love for bookstore shopping. I prefer browsing the stacks of a library and picking up books countless others have read. The tattered pages tell their own stories. But a small used bookshop would be cool to visit.
I do agree about the librarian. It’s nice to see books that have been loved but that’s why I’d often a used bookstore. I’d help give unwanted books a new life.
Look… I’m talking about them like they are puppies at a shelter…
In a way they are puppies, because they are something we love and take care of and want to find good homes that will appreciate them.
That’s very true
I would rather be a bookstore owner as I would have more freedom and can take my time getting to know patrons and interacting with them.
….yes! That cozy atmosphere is so enticing.
i love the idea for this series!! definitely book store for me!!!
Thank you!!
I love books but I also love running a business hense the business degree lol. I would choose the book store so that I can do things my way but still be surrounded by all the magical worlds inside of books.
