Top Ten Bookish Things That I'd Like To Own


My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by The Broke and Bookish. This week's theme: Top Ten Bookish Things (That Aren't Books) That I'd Like To Own (new bookshelves, bookends, cool bookmark, a bookish shirt, etc. You can add things you DO own if you want).

    1. Reading Room/Home Library

    2. A Bookcase in every room (I do mean every room!)

    3.These Bookends: But they're super expensive, and I'm super cheap.

    4. A Prime Membership to Amazon, so I could access the lending library.

    5. I would like a decent book light; I have one that's LED, but the light is too white, and it hurts my eyes to look at the page. Something with a soft yellow glow wouldn't suck.

    6. A purse that could safely conceal my Kindle while carrying my other purse items.

    7. A Secret Lair. Seriously, sometimes I just want a place to read where no one can find me and bother me.

    8. I would like a portal to go back in time and into a fictional world so I can warn Cedric Diggory and alter the course of events.

    9. I want the iPod Marge used in China Mieville's Kraken.

    10. And a repeat offender: I want to see one of my stories published someday.

    Great list-love those bookends! I wonder if there's a cheaper version available somewhere?

    A secret lair. You are a genius. I hate interruptions too. Great list.

      I was very surprised I didn't see more lairs on lists, lol...Plenty of reading nooks though.

    I love those horse bookends - they make me think of The Scorpio Races by Maggie Stiefvater, which I just finished and absolutely loved. I highly recommend it if you haven't read it already. :-)

    My TTT.

      GRs keep recc'ing that for me, but I've been hesitant to add it to my list; I was worried it might be too young. -- I stopped by your blog to see if you had a review up, I see you're still reading it. I'll drop in again, so I can read more of your thoughts on the story. :-)

    Hee, a secret lair! It's always the worst when you're reading a really good book and people are bothering you.

      ...And you can never adequately explain to a non-reader why its wrong to interrupt someone who is reading...

Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In

Image
Today's topic was listed as Love Freebie   hosted by  That Artsy Reader Girl ,  but I couldn't think of anything romantic, so I picked the Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want to Live In . In a book, you can go anywhere, do anything, meet anyone... But not every captivating story has a pleasant setting. It's one thing to imagine a world, it's entirely another to actually go there. 1. Arrakis, from Dune by Frank Herbert.  It's too effing hot! Too much sun, too much sand, too much sweat. If the heat doesn't kill you, the sand-worms might... 2. Purgatory-Golf Course, from I Am Behind You by John Ajvide Lindqvist . It's got never-ending blue skies and green grass, what's not to love? I'm just resistant to the idea of a place with no food, no water, no sun... A place where the sins of your past will haunt you until you bleed. 3. Hollywood & Church of Scientology, from Leah Remini's Troublemaker. These are two locations that actually exist in the

The Sunday Post

   Happy Sunday! Welcome to my Sunday Post, a weekly blog news meme hosted by  caffeinatedbookreviewer . My blog is on the small side, so I decided I'll only be posting the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. The month of February has been eventful. I've had some wild weather in my neck of the woods: real feel listed as 11 degrees one day, switching to 60s and endless rain, and then to dry windstorms that brought trees down. I successfully managed not to freeze, drown, or fly. I became an aunt to a beautiful niece, who just narrowly escaped being a leap year baby, and I'm pretty excited about her arrival. My Kindle Touch was finally lost to the ravages of time but was replaced swiftly with a Kindle Paperwhite. I also reviewed the following stories: Lethal White by Robet Galbraith Training Strategies for Dressage Riders by Charles de Kunffy What Feasts at Night by T.Kingfisher (just released!) Troubled Blood by Robert Galbraith I originally planned to

Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List

My picks for the Tuesday Top Ten, as invented by  The Broke and Bookish . Today's theme, the Top Ten Things On My Bookish Bucket List ( could be blogging related, book related etc. -- meeting authors, reading x many books per year, finishing a daunting book, etc .) made me have to think. I suppose finishing  my To-be-read-list, an improbable task, because the list keeps growing. I would love to meet JK Rowling...but I think I'd panic, forget what to ask/say her, and just stare at her and make her uncomfortable. I'd also like to meet John Ajvide Lindqvist because he made me love horror. I want to read Watership Down and Jurassic Park ...but for some odd reason I keep putting them off. I would like to have my copy of Miss Peregrine's School for Peculiars, signed. I'd like to have at least one of my own stories published... ...and see it on a Best-seller list ;-) I want to know how the Kingkiller Chronicles ends, which mean Patrick Rothfuss would have to
