Tags: 10 wishes from the book genie, The Broke and the Bookish, Top Ten Tuesday
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’
Well, this could have been easy – I could just pick 10 books that I’m desperate to read!
- 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.
- Wish No.2 is easy, now I need a time turner – how else can I find the time to read ALL those books.
- 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.
- ‘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.
- 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.
- I should probably get a bigger house – I have to fit ALL those books somewhere. It’s reasonable.
- 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.

Baha, yes to #1!!!!! These are great, I want them all! Especially a cosy Hobbit hole!
Everybody wants a hobbit hole – well, I think they do anyway!
Lynn 😀
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!
Lynn 😀
There you go!
#2! I would love a way to go back in time and read more more more:-)
Yeah, either a time machine or turner or just simply not having to work – that would free up some time!
Lynn 😀
Great wishes to have and ask the genie for. I especially like the hobbit hole and the Kindle, because it’s true after all. 🙂
Yep, the hobbit hole is a definite winner.
Lynn 😀
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.
Lynn 😀
I adore the title of your post 🙂 My TTT
From Disney’s Aladdin – which I’m sure you guessed!
Lynn 😀
Yep!!
Why I loved it 😀
