Top Ten Tuesday: Ten Wishes I Want From the Book Genie

This week's Top Ten Tuesday from The Broke and the Bookish is My Top Ten Wishes From the Book Genie.  Can this be a thing?  Because a Book Genie would be really useful!

1.  I wish that Beverly Connor would write another book - I LOVE Beverly Connor's books.  Her Lindsay Chamberlain mysteries are awesome (except for 1 or 2 at the beginning) and her Diane Fallon remind me very much of Bones.  She's had that a book is coming soon on her website for 3 or 4 years now with no change.  I despair of there being another one.

2.  I wish I could pause time to get more reading done - I have so many books I really want to read but my reading time gets squeezed in at night and I can't read nearly as much as I want to because I do need to get a little sleep.  A pause button would be nice!

3.  I wish I would never have a reading slump - After a bunch of mediocre reads I'm kind of in one right now and I just don't have time for it!  Looking over my book list I'm just kind of meh about all of them and I need something to snap me out quick!

4.  I wish I could tell immediately that a book wasn't going to work for me - I can't even count how many times I've been all excited or intrigued by a book and then come to find it just isn't for me.  I wish instead of reading to page 50 (or sometimes to the bitter end) I could tell just by looking that I wasn't going to love it.

5.  I wish every book with a great cover lived up to the cover - I love a good cover and it frequently increases my interest in a book but how often does a great cover end up containing a not so good book?

6.  I wish I could have a TARDIS for book storage - Here's the thing - I don't really own that many books.  I use paperbackswap to get rid of most of the books I've read - especially regular paperbacks, I use the library a lot, and most of my review books are ebooks.  Plus I have a decent number of bookcases.  BUT somehow the books have spread.  The smaller bookcase I keep for my fiction that I tend to trade is double stacked and crammed full.  And then there's the boxes under the bed and then there's the stacks situated all around the boxes.  It's becoming a problem!  So a TARDIS would be fab.  Especially if it just looked like a box but could just contain an infinite amount in a way that I could access the books easily.  That's not too much to ask right?

7.   I wish I could immediately get comfortable when reading - I think by nature I'm fairly high strung and I don't idle well so even though I really love to read and really want to snuggle up and read I always have a hard time getting comfortable.  If I can manage to sit down and not come up with other things to do then I have a problem getting comfortable.  If I'm in a chair I don't know what to do with my legs or my feet go to sleep or I'm too cramped.  If I'm in bed I'm too slouched or my necks at a funny angle or the pillow isn't just right or the blankets are perfect.  For any of them I can be too thirsty, too itchy, too hot, too cold, too anything.  I would love to just be able to sit and be all nice and cozy immediately every time.

8.  I wish that my book budget was infinite - I started to wish that all books were free but I want to be sure authors get paid for them because I want them to keep writing so I'm going with an infinite budget!  Especially with cookbooks.  Seriously, I could spend a ridiculous amount of money just on cookbooks. I want them all

9.  I wish I literally lived in a library - or at least next door to one where I can access it after hours - Because sometimes I just want to bookshop in my pajamas but don't feel quite right leaving the house in them

10. I wish that everyone who wants access to books had as many as they needed and someone to really talk books with - I know I was lucky in that I had (and still have) access to fantastic public libraries and could bring home just piles of books that interested me.  Even better was that I have my Grandmother who is as big of a reader as me and was always willing to talk books.  I started reading adult books when I was probably 10 or 11 (there wasn't nearly as much YA at the time or it doesn't seem like there was) and we read a lot of mysteries together.  I think having someone to talk books with really intensifies the love of books.

So what bookish things would you wish for?
