This week’s prompt from The Broke and the Bookish is “10 Wishes I’d Ask The Book Genie To Grant Me”.
Well.
- Auto-approval on Netgalley for everything. Especially Tor.
- Budget and unlimited space at local community library. Please?
- Free publicity for the above. We need more readers.
- A TARDIS for personal book storage. This one’s obvious if you know me at all… and hey, I could use it to travel to my partner’s and take all my stuff!
- Digital and print copies in the same purchase. Wouldn’t bundles like this make life so much easier?
- Time spent reading pauses “real life”. Then I could get soooo much more done.
- More library cards. And more libraries, come to that.
- A conversation with Mori from Among Others, when she’s 26. Seems like it might, you know, be relevant to me.
- Ability to slap some characters and say no don’t do that. FitzChivalry Farseer, I’m looking at you.
- The ability to read some books for the first time… again. ’nuff said, right? Some books, you just wish you could come to them fresh again.
I could probably keep going for a while on this topic…
Number 10 is a good one. It would be epic to be able to read the Potter books for the first time… again.

Yeah, I’ve loved that idea since the first time someone mentioned it to me!
I’ve read authors saying that all paper books should come with the e-book free.
A TARDIS would solve many problems!
Yeah, it’s something a lot of people think would be a good idea… I think a couple of publishing houses do have some sort of thing set up like that.
Ooh yes to #6 especially. Just pause and let me read for a few hours … every day – not too much to ask 🙂
Exactly!
The auto approval one is good! Nice list! 🙂
My TTT
It’d be a dangerous one, really!
#7 would be really nice, I love keeping memberships to several libraries and checking out what they all have in their overdrive collections (keeps me well stocked with audiobooks!) 🙂
Yep! I genuinely had the thought, “I don’t want to move out of Cardiff — then I won’t be able to use the libraries”, when thinking about going to live with my partner!
This list is awesome. I’d love to have auto-approval for everything Netgalley. 😀
Wouldn’t it be epic?
