Hopefully, gardening, like the youngest daughter in the ORIGINAL tale.

Or writing. She seems likely to help her father inventing together.

^ I don't think the live action remake really convinced me of Belle's "abilities" as an inventor. She'd be a librarian, like in the other poll.

I mean, if she didn't take up inventing before, why would she take it up without books?

^possibly because she had nothing else to do to mentally engage herself with and decided to see what Maurice found so enjoyable about it. I agree with wavesurf though.

^but with so much access to it, why wouldn't she have done that in the first place? before books? My point is if she wanted to be an inventor, she would have done it already.

This is something they added in the remake; I think it could work here too.

i think she'd feel the need to create the sort of stories she wishes she had access to.

If you can't read awesome stories, I assume you would try to write awesome stories.

^What MissCinico said. Give her imagination a place to grow and flourish.

i think she was already helping her dad with it. So without books, she'd be more interested in it, i guess.

It would be another means of escapism.
