Top Ten Tuesday: Wishes For A Book Genie

A weekly meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish

1.) Never Ending Bookshelves
You know when you are like "ugh, I need a new bookshelf because I'm addicted to buying books." So you buy one and you start reorganizing your shelves only to realize that this shelf is not big enough and now you need another one. I want my book genie to proactively produce a new shelf whenever I need one.

2.) The Ability to Stop Time While Reading

I'm such a slow reader so initially I was going to say I want to speed read but really what I would like is to be able to stop time while I'm reading so that I can just keep reading without losing any time. Imagine how great that would be. You read a whole book and no time has passed at all!

3.) A Maid
This sort of goes with wanting to stop time but this weekend I had to stop reading to do adulting things like clean. I'm just saying I could get so much more reading done if I had someone cleaning my apartment for me. I wouldn't have to stop to wash dishes or clean the bathroom. I could just read.

4.) Bookish Telekinesis

I was going to say that I want the most comfortable chair but then I realized most of the discomfort comes from having to prop the book up. So I want to be able to float the book in front of my face and to turn pages with my mind. I could read without lifting a finger. Wow! So many of these really show you all how lazy I am.

5.) For All My Favorite Authors to Visit Pittsburgh

Okay, change of subject. After two really amazing author visits I am totally wishing more amazing authors came here. I get about three great ones a year but I want more! I want to meet Brandon Sanderson, J.K. Rowling, Victoria Schwab, Sarah J. Maas. All my favorites.

6.) George R.R. Martin to Finish A Song of Ice and Fire
Originally I was going to say that I want Winds of Winter but really what I want is GRRM to finish writing the series. He just seems to be writing and writing. This series will probably never end. Normally I would be okay with that but I need to know what happens!

7.) For J.K. Rowling to Write Another  Harry Potter Book.

Unlike GRRM, I never want JKR to stop writing books. I want a next generation book, a Marauder's Era book, a book about the Hogwarts founders. I read some HP fan fiction but I want some canonical stuff.

8.) For Dust Jackets to Become Obsolete 

I hate dust jackets. They're stupid and always in the way. I want my book genie to make it so that hardcovers are designed with the pretty covers directly on the books so that dust jackets don't exist. 

9.) Books to Become Waterproof

I'm messy (hence the need for a maid). I like taking books places and then it rains and they get wet and ruined. I wish that we could make them so they could get wet and not get all messed up. Waterproof paper? Written on plastic? I don't care just make it so that if I spill my coffee on it I'm not SOL.

10.) A Bookish Time Machine

I think an actual time machine would be amazing but really what I want is a machine that will give me any book that isn't out yet. Wish you had the sequel to a book you loved? That debut that comes out in fall 2016? The book time machine has got you covered.

There you have it. The ten things I would ask a book genie for. What things are on your list? Do we have any in common? Leave me a comment with your thoughts. Thanks for stopping by and HAPPY READING!
