‘Are you looking at me? Did you rub my lamp? Did you wake me up?’

This week over at the Broke and Bookish the topic for Top Ten Tuesday is :

’10 Wishes I’d Ask The Book Genie To Grant Me’

99187-ttt

Well, this could have been easy – I could just pick 10 books that I’m desperate to read!

  1. Instead, not to be greedy or anything, but I want ALL the books that I want and I want them NOW!  And now, I still have 9 wishes left.
  2. Wish No.2 is easy, now I need a time turner – how else can I find the time to read ALL those books.
  3. I need Santa’s little helper to come and do all my chores – that helps with the reading time after all – I do have ALL those books to read.
  4. ‘I wish, I wish I had a wormhole’ – yeah, a wormhole to disappear down into!  A nice comfy space with a huge soft chair.  A cosy little hobbit hole type place.
  5. I need one of those magic bowls and a magic glass – the kind that just refills automatically with delicious things.  I might forget to eat and drink otherwise.  I haven’t got time for trivialities.
  6. I should probably get a bigger house – I have to fit ALL those books somewhere.  It’s reasonable.
  7. I need to be able to shrink all my books so that they fit in my bag.  Hang on – I already have that – a kindle!

Okay, I don’t need any more wishes from the book genie.  These’ll do for now – perhaps I can keep my last three for a rainy day or the next available books from Patrick Rothfuss, Mark Lawrence and Scott Lynch.

    Yes, those wishes will fix you up just fine. But what about the rest of us?! Invite us over!

    Here’s what I wish the Book Genie would grant to me.

      Well, I’ll have a huge house so everyone is welcome! I could make an enormous reading room!

    #2! I would love a way to go back in time and read more more more:-)

    • @lynnsbooks's avatar @lynnsbooks

      Yeah, either a time machine or turner or just simply not having to work – that would free up some time!

    Great wishes to have and ask the genie for. I especially like the hobbit hole and the Kindle, because it’s true after all. 🙂

    I think all readers need a device like the time turner to read ALL THE BOOKS! Or, a superpower that allows me to read (and remember everything I read) at a 100 pages a second would work too!

      Oh, I like the idea of a superpower for reading – that’s much better than a time turner.
