Today I'm linking up with Top Ten Tuesday hosted by That Artsy Reader Girl which is all about lists. Since lists are one of my favorite things this is one of my favorite linkups! Today's topic is Bookish Wishes. This was originally intended for people to post their Amazon Wish Lists which is lots of fun. However, over the last little while I have been buying books like it's my job so I'm going to do things a little different! If I had a genie who would grant me ten bookish wishes here's what they would be.
1. I wish that L.M. Montgomery had completed and published the sequel to Jane of Lantern Hill - This is one of my favorite Montgomery books and while the story is complete I'd love for more time with the characters.
2. I wish that Postern of Fate by Agatha Christie was a better book - Agatha Christie is one of my absolute favorite authors and I really enjoy her Tommy and Tuppence books. Her final one, Postern of Fate, has a fascinating plot but it is by far one of her weakest books both in writing style and plot. I would love for our last bit of page time with Tommy and Tuppence to be stronger.
3. I wish I could block off days to do nothing but read. This I could probably make come true on my own with a bit of planning and a refusal to get distracted by other things but I haven't done it yet!
4. I wish that Brynn Bonner who wrote a fantastic genealogy cozy series would write more books. I read and loved all 4 books in the series but I haven't been able to find anything else by her.
5. I wish I could send Gone Away Lake by Elizabeth Enright back in time to my childhood self. I would have LOVED it. I enjoyed it as an adult but am a little sad I didn't find it when I was a kid.
6. I wish there were more books involving haunted houses full of secrets that aren't too creepy. I'm open to suggestions here!
7. I wish I could read faster. I'm almost certainly a faster reader than the average bear but I wish I could read faster! There are so many books I want to read and they're piling up faster than I can read them.
8. I wish some of the foodie cozies that I read came with the option to essentially DoorDash some of the yummy food that I'm reading about.
9. Found family recommendations - all genres. I adore found family and can use more recommendations.
10. Fun middle grade adventure books - I need some good middle grade recommendations. It's been too long since I've read a good one.
What are some of your bookish wishes?
Your wish #8 totally made me laugh; I've often wished that, too. And I also wish there were more books out there involving haunted houses. Fun TTT post. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, this was a clever way of doing 'bookish wishes'. I laughed at #8 as well.
ReplyDeleteI am not sure if Gary D Smidt would be termed adventure but his middle grade books are excellent. I thought when I retired I'd read more, but truthfully I haven't! I love all your bookish wishes.
ReplyDeleteGreat list of bookish wishes.
ReplyDeleteHa...these are great wishes. Yes....I love foodie books and often wish I had some!
