Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly meme created by The Broke and the Bookish and now hosted by Jana at That Artsy Reader Girl.
The rules are simple:
- Each Tuesday, Jana assigns a new topic. Create your own Top Ten list that fits that topic – putting your unique spin on it if you want.
- Everyone is welcome to join but please link back to That Artsy Reader Girl in your own Top Ten Tuesday post.
- Add your name to the Linky widget on that day’s post so that everyone can check out other bloggers’ lists.
- Or if you don’t have a blog, just post your answers as a comment.
This week’s topic is Bookish Jobs (Real or Imaginary) I Would Do For Free, submitted by Susan at bloggin’ ’bout books. The word ‘imaginary’ set me off on a train of thought about bookish superpowers I wish I had.
The ability to…
- Insert myself on any publisher’s list for proof copies
- Use AI to create a comprehensive and insightful review of a book as I’m reading it
- Speed up my reading speed at will but still recall every word of a book
- Detect whether I’m going to enjoy a book purely by looking at it
- Automatically create a beautiful Instagram post from an image in my head
- Have WordPress automatically share my blog posts to Twitter (it will never catch on…)
- Have household tasks completed by an invisible servant while I’m reading
- Have books I really, really want to read have 90% off stickers on them (100% would be mean)
- Have every book I buy to be pre-signed and personally dedicated to me by the author
- Never be interrupted while reading
Are there bookish super powers you wish you had?
What Cathy Read Next... 
Oooh I love the idea of having household tasks completed by an invisible servant while I’m reading – and can I have a clone of me to go to work, so I can stay home and read?

I’d like number one please! Also an app where you create your post and it automatically posts to all the many and varied social media accounts I seem to now have 😄

I love it, Cathy. I would love all those powers as well, maybe I would use Instagram that way. 😆

Oh my goodness, I LOVE your twist on the prompt! You should submit it to Jana for a future TTT roundup. Bookish superpowers would be so fun and amazing. I love the ones you chose and wouldn’t say no to having them for myself 🙂
Happy TTT!

If only we all had superpowers, right? I think #1 would be high on all of our lists then.

I LOVE your list. So clever! #10 is a big dream for me. But as a teacher and a mom and a wife, I’m often interrupted.

I totally love ALL your superpowers! Wish we could have them all. (As for twitter… I’m using Hootsuite to schedule my posts to Twitter these days.)

Thanks I must explore using that as I’m finding it a real pain to share my posts manually because I often forget to do it until halfway through the day!

I see I commented on the original and still totally agree with number 1! Wonder if it was the same number 1? 🤔
