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...

You'd have a swimming buddy for life, and someone to feed your enemies to...) Do you have any favorite animal characters?

   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 ...

  Happy Sunday! The Sunday Post is a weekly news meme created by Caffeinated Reviewer. I will be posting on the first Sunday of each month and I hope you'll join me. We're in drought. We live in an area that's never seen forest fires and yet we've seen forest fires. We got a couple of days of rain and it wasn't enough to consider the drought broken. Everybody has been advised not to run their wood stoves or fire pits... and naturally you can't actually advise anyone on anything anymore so people are doing whatever it is they want instead of worrying about burning the woods down (or their neighbor's house.) I feel like we're either going to get no snow at all this year or we're going to get hammered with it. The books I've read in November were both rereads. I reread The Night Circus by Erin Morgenstern and A Darker Shade of Magic by VE Schwab. I don't plan to post the review of The Night Circus because it's already been posted.  But A...
