Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl, featuring a different top 10 theme each week. This week’s topic is about Books I Hope Santa Brings/Bookish Wishes, with an option for people to share their wish lists and then grant one another’s wishes. Check out the info over on the host blog if you’re interested!
I’m not sharing an actual clickable wishlist, and I’ve already either received or treated myself to a lot of books this holiday season… but here are a few bookish items that I dream of, even though they’re mostly big splurges or hard-to-find items or just silly treats that I wouldn’t ever expect to spend money on.

One Day All This Will Be Yours by Adrian Tchaikovsky
I borrowed a copy from the library and loved it. I’d really like my own hard copy, but the physical book was released as a limited edition hardcover and the few sellers I’ve seen listing it have it marked very high. This is a someday, maybe wishlist item for me!

The Goblin Emperor by Katherine Addison
I would love a hardcover edition of The Goblin Emperor, but these are very hard to come by, as far as I can see. I’m hoping there will be a reissue at some point, with a cover to match The Witness For the Dead (and the upcoming new release The Grief of Stones).

Pride & Puzzlement jigsaw puzzle
The price isn’t bad — but I just have so many puzzles in my house already that I can’t justify buying another right now!

Light From Uncommon Stars by Ryka Aoki
This isn’t hard to find or outrageously priced… it’s just that I really don’t need to buy myself more physical books right now. I’ve been wanting to read this, but it’s not a big enough priority for me to rush out and grab a copy.

Elizabeth Bennet Pop Funko
How did I not I not know this existed? This is Elizabeth Bennet from Pride & Prejudice & Zombies (which I’m not ashamed to admit that I love!). There are other characters too, including Jane Bennet and Lady Catherine. Awesome!

Word Cloud Classics
I love these fresh-looking editions of classics! I have a couple, but would never say no to more.

Book Plates
I think it would be fun to have some pretty or whimsical book plates to put inside my books — for those rare occasions when I actually agree to lend a book.

Wooden Book Stand
Or really, any pretty or unusual or decorative book stand. Do I need this? No. But there are occasions (like when I’m eating a big sandwich but don’t want to stop reading) when I could see this being really handy!

Bookish socks (or any other bookish apparel)
I love Out of Print, and have so many of their t-shirts… but not nearly enough socks, hats, totebags, or accessories. There’s always room for more, in my humble opinion.

Saga Deluxe Editions
I love the Saga series, and have the trade paperback editions of all published volumes… but for years, I’ve had my eye on these hardcover deluxe editions too.
OK, so most of these aren’t at all practical, but isn’t that the point of wishes?
What’s on your wishlist? Share your link, and I’ll come check out your top 10!
I love bookish funkos! I’ve got a few and I’ve also made a couple of own ❤
Ooh, I’d love to know more about the ones you made!
I’m not very good! I made a Poppy one from From Blood and Ash, a Lemon Fresh (Truelife) and The Darkling. I can only spray and repaint, haven’t got the skills to do the modelling clay add ons!
Sounds impressive to me!!
This is a great list. Happy holidays! I hope you get some impractical but fun bookish stuff this year. 🙂

Thanks!
I love Pride and Puzzlement, now I want that too! Here’s my list: https://franlaniado.wordpress.com/2021/12/21/top-ten-tuesday-bookish-wishlist-2021/
It does look like a lot of fun, doesn’t it? So tempting…
I love the Saga series too. And I also collect the various Word Cloud Classics. They are beautiful.

I only have a couple of the Word Cloud editions, but I love them and want more!
Oh I love that Pop Funko! There are some cool bookish items here😁
It’s been a while since I’ve treated myself to a Pop funko… this one is so tempting!
I hope your bookish Christmas wishes come true
Thank you! I hope yours do as well!
Oh those book plates almost made it on my wish list too!! And Pride and Puzzlement definitely is going on my wish list for later 🙂 Love those funko dolls and those word cloud classics..
