If I had a huge amount of money, I'd consider opening my own bookshop. With log fires and comfortable reading chairs, and rooms upstairs for writers to come and stay for writing retreats. It would also have a shop cat and serve impeccably good coffee, wine and tea.

Aww, thanks! Got a big proofread coming in tomorrow on a tight deadline, so today I’m re-reading the previous title in the series (which I proofread a couple of years ago) to familiarise myself with the author’s style (and all the very many character names!) – so work that doesn’t feel like work! 😊
Ah, thank you! It was such an interesting talk!
Not to mention the roll/bap/bun to go with it!
