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

Top Ten Bookish Things (That Aren’t Books) That I’d Like To Own 

As my reading tends to lie predominantly in SFF I’ve decided to find 10 fantasy reading ‘things’ to wish for on today’s list:

1. A hobbit hole, all warm and cosy, with lots of pantries and nice quiet spots for reading.
2. One of those remote controls that means I can turn down the volume of life going on around me and focus on my current read.
3. A time machine so that I can go forwards – and not have to wait for the next in the series and backwards to gain time and catch up on my TBR.
4. Magical lights that illuminate as soon as I pick up my book and light up just enough to be easy to read but not too much to be glaring – you want the ambience, right?
5. Books that have REALLY creative covers – I’m thinking of that book of Monsters from Harry Potter.
6. My own portal that opens up the book worlds and allows me to enter (not all the time of course, brrrr).
7. My own personal Brownie – to keep my books in some sort of order, help me with remembering plots and places, come in useful as some sort of dictionary, thesaurus, almanac and general know it all.
8. Alien reading skills – the sort where you flip from cover to cover and you’ve completely read the book – imagine! – extreme speed reading!
9. Photographic memory – because I’m so bad at remembering names and places.
10. Some sort of bodyguard/slayer (okay, that’s probably a bit over the top) to stop all the pesky people on public transport who will insist on saying such things as ‘oh, you’re reading a book?’ – No, I’m just pretending.  ‘Is it good?’, let me read it and I’ll let you know, ‘What sort of book is it?’, fantasy  ‘Ohhh, I bet it’s that 50 Shades…’ Shut up and go away – I’m READING!!!!  Or you know the bodyguard/slayer could just accompany me and scowl at people and look generally menacing.

What are your bookish ‘things’?
