Top Ten TuesdayTop 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 Book Covers/Titles with Things Found in Nature, a topic suggested by Jessica at a GREAT read. My list consists of books with animals in their title. Links from each title will take you to my review.

This week’s topic is Bookish Superpowers I Wish I Had, a topic suggested by… me! Full disclosure, I used  this idea for the topic Bookish Jobs (Real or Imaginary) I Would Do For Free last year. Unfortunately, I’ve developed no additional superpowers since then, so I’m taking the easy route and just reproducing a slightly revised version here.

SuperpowersThe ability to…

  1. Insert myself on any publisher’s list for proof copies
  2. Create an insightful review of every book I read without any effort at all
  3. Increase 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 X (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 be pre-signed and personally dedicated to me by the author
  10. Never be interrupted while reading

What bookish super powers do you wish you had?
