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…

1. Insert myself on any publisher’s list for proof copies
2. Use AI to create a comprehensive and insightful review of a book as I’m reading it
3. Speed up my reading speed at will but still recall every word of a book
4. Detect whether I’m going to enjoy a book purely by looking at it
5. Automatically create a beautiful Instagram post from an image in my head
6. Have WordPress automatically share my blog posts to Twitter (it will never catch on…)
7. Have household tasks completed by an invisible servant while I’m reading
8. Have books I really, really want to read have 90% off stickers on them (100% would be mean)
9. Have every book I buy to be pre-signed and personally dedicated to me by the author
10. Never be interrupted while reading

Are there bookish super powers you wish you had?
