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 Bookish Superpowers I Wish I Had. This is a fun one!
Here are ten powers I’d love:
- Ability to remember every detail from books already read… especially earlier books in series.
- The power to read even when too tired to keep my eyes open.
- The ability to listen (and absorb) audiobooks throughout my day without getting distracted.
- A superpower that makes signed first editions of my favorite books magically appear on my doorstep the second they’re available.
- Teleportation powers that allow me to attend favorite author’s book signings anywhere across the country, with no airplane flights or loss of sleep involved.
- The ability to transport myself into the world of a book for a day (but without having to face any real dangers such as disease, getting lost, etc)
- The power to snap my fingers and have Hollywood decide to adapt all my favorite books (and do them all perfectly)
- A special food-related power that makes any delicious sounding food or drink that I read about in a novel pop into existence in my hands.
- One that sounds magical even if it isn’t: The ability to read as much as I want, wherever and whenever I want, without having to worry about work, money, errands, or anything else real-world-ish.
- Another teleportation/time travel-y one to round out the list: The ability to travel back in time and meet certain favorite authors from the past!
