If I had a hobbit hole, probably one of the most notable things about it, and also probably the thing I’d want it most to have would be a library. This library would be hand-curated by me, with all kinds of books that I love and a bunch of others that sound really interesting to read. It wouldn’t be entirely dark, because obviously even though it’s underground, I would still need light to read and see the books, so I might have a window, or something that basically acts as a window to give me light. Natural light would be a lot prettier than artificial light, though I would definitely have a nice bright light inside in case I ever felt like reading in the nighttime when it’s already dark out. Ideally, there would be a lot of books and reasonably tall shelves, and most of them would be completely filled, and they’d also be organized by genre and then author’s last name within the genres. I’d have a ladder in there as well, because if I were a hobbit, I probably wouldn’t be tall enough to reach the books on the top shelf, and to be honest, I can’t say that even as a human, I’d be able to reach the things on the top shelf. I’d also have some beanbags in the library so that I could sit there and read comfortably, and maybe a fireplace (on the opposite wall from the books, of course, and a very safe one) that I could sit by in the wintertime.

I’d also want a secret passage into a downstairs writing room, where I can work undisturbed, if I so wish. This place would hopefully have a table where I can write (and snack, perhaps), and a couple of beanbags, once again so that I can have a nice, comfortable place to write, and I’d probably have a very large bulletin board of all the stuff for my novels and short stories. I might have the secret passageway lead up into the library because I want to be able to easily access the library and my books from the writing space, so maybe I’d have a stepladder-type thing going up into the library. I’d also probably want to have a refrigerator in my writing room and a cupboard where I could keep all my snacks, so that way in the case of me getting hungry while writing, I don’t have to go all the way upstairs. This secret writing room would probably also have another entrance from a different room, but I haven’t really thought about how anything other than the library and secret writing room would look.
