Funny memory haha @Kim_Kieffer
Yes there is some wiring in this kit, a rack for hanging books and two stools
I found that was the hardest parts
But generally it is a very enjoyable kit
Good luck in the contest ![]()

Good luck in the contest
Reading has always been a “thing” for me.
My mum is a great reader and instilled it into our lives from early childhood. It’s a fantastic form of escape. I still read tons now and books have inspired some of my creations in miniature. I even made a 1:48 scale replica of Aziraphales bookshop from Good Omens - which took me a year to build. Here’s a photo . You can see other photos on social media under Smaller Things.
This is a beautiful kit!!
One of my favorite reading memories from my school years is spending time browsing through books at a bookstore, even when I didn’t have a particular book in mind. I loved that feeling of walking between the shelves, picking up different books, and starting to read.
Maybe that’s why the idea of having a miniature bookstore feels so special to me. A tiny little world filled with stories, just like the bookstores I remember.
This set looks absolutely amazing ![]()
I love the little mezzanine level with the globe
on it and I’d love a set with loads of books to build - I loved building the little books in Millers garden and being able to flick through the pages afterwards.
The book from my childhood that has always stuck with me (I may be showing my age here) was The Animals Of Farthing Wood - a story about animals who had to flee their home in the woods due to humans destroying it to build houses and their journey to a new home in the sanctuary of White Deer Park ![]()

It was also eventually made into a cartoon tv series as well.
Following on from the original book there are 6 sequels and 1 prequel and they all still sit proudly in my bookcase.
In the UK there was a book store years ago called James Thins
- it no longer exists but that was where I picked up my whole collection of Animals of Farthing Wood books with original covers before they were then changed after the cartoon series was televised.
Thanks so much, @Kycso. I really enjoy cooking and trying out new food and baking recipes whenever I get a chance. Wishing you the best of luck in the contest too! ![]()
Wow, this is amazing!! ![]()
I’m currently play a game on my Steam Deck called Librarian: Clean Up The Arcane Library where I have to reshelf every book in a library that has been absolutely trashed.
Your beautiful library reminds me of the one in that game and who would have thought finding and reorganising thousands of books would be so calming and enjoyable ![]()
I loved borrowing the goosebumps books from my local library - my particular favourite was the Say Cheese and Die set of stories
Years later I feel like that must be where they got the inspiration for the Final Destination movies
Thank you! Your game sounds interesting. Is it relaxing as I think I’m might find it a bit frustrating lol
I find it really relaxing, you can use magic and stuff to help you organise within the game
I’m in a cosy gaming group on Facebook and everyone was going wild for it in there so I guess I’m not the only person that finds it weirdly relaxing ![]()
I loved the Ender’s Games series growing up! I even ended up reading the whole Shadow series and all the different related books that were written about the same world.
Thank you @Josephine40
I dun cook well, but sometime will bake a bit ![]()
My love for books has been with me since I was a little girl. I remember that at school we had an activity where we received a reading log to fill in with the books we had read at home with our parents. There were also always vendors outside the school selling colorful children’s books and book collections. ![]()
My mother used to travel a lot for work, and she always brought books home as gifts for me and my sisters. One of those books holds a very special place in my heart: Issun Boshi – The Little Samurai. I think it’s because she bought that one especially for me, and it was such a beautiful book, full of colorful illustrations. I don’t have the book anymore, but I will never forget it. ![]()
Since then, my love for reading has never faded, and today I have my own little book collection.
I discovered Rolife kits last year, and since then I’ve built two of them. I already have three more at home waiting to be assembled! I think the Pagestory Books Miniature Bookstore is absolutely adorable, and it would be so much fun to build one! ![]()
That’s awesome! Baking is so much fun. Thanks as well, Kycso. ![]()
Welcome to the community, @Yukari. Such a sweet story. It’s wonderful how childhood books can leave us with such core, unforgettable memories. Thanks for sharing this..![]()
Oh this is very cute @Robotime, it feels familiar in a way. The loved books as a kid and still do but my favourite memory is building cubby houses out of old hutches down the bottom of the garden with my siblings. All fun and games til my little sister fell through from the top floor, she was fine but we had to take it down

@Robotime it looks a great piece i always used to go the library when i was in school and get whatever books i needed and i always love reading … but i’ve not so much time now this is charming ![]()
