This weekly frenzy of listing is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Oh, my goodness, if only there were really such a thing as the book genie! Wouldn't it be amazing if we could just rub a lamp and get every bookish wish our heart desires? Ah, well. Here's what I would wish for if a book genie popped into my life today:
- Space for all of the books I own. I run out of bookshelves repeatedly. And there's no space for more.
- A fireplace in my library. I'm already blessed with an incredibly cozy library. But a fireplace would just make it that much better.
- The chance to meet Jane Austen. Kind of unlikely, I know. But it would be awesome!
- A visit to the behind-the-scenes world of books that exists in Jasper Fforde's Thursday Next series.
- A new book from Arthur Golden, author of Memoirs of a Geisha. I loved that book. I want more!
- Unlimited money to spend on new books. This may be dangerous. . .
- A used bookstore in my town. Or a new bookstore in my town. Really, I'll take anyplace that sells books. It would be nice not to have to drive at least half an hour to get to the books. But again, this may be dangerous. . .
- More Harry Potter books! Stories on Pottermore are nice and all, but I want to dive into another 800-page Harry Potter book.
