Top Ten Tuesday – Bookish Superpowers

Happy Tuesday! It’s time for Top Ten Tuesday, the weekly feature run by That Artsy Reader Girl where you choose ten books to fit a weekly prompt. This week’s prompt is bookish superpowers I wish I could possess. This first seemed a little weird but it was actually fun to think about, here’s what I came up with.

• Judge a Book by its Cover – I’d love to be able to know if I was going to love a book simply by its cover. I love going into books blind and just seeing them unfold but there’s such a risk I won’t like it without reading the blurb. Plus, I’d love every book I read.
• Remember Plot for Sequels – I’m a fantasy reader and read lots of series but I don’t always like to binge them and sometimes the next book isn’t even out. I wish I could remember everything about the book before when I sat down with the next one without needing to reread.
• Fantasy Audiobooks – How anyone reads fantasy on audiobook bewilders me. I’m trying but getting the world building in audiobook format is very hard for my brain.
• Stop Time – I would like time to stop while I’m reading so I can read as much as I want without losing time to do other things I need or want to do. I would also like to not get tired in this stopped time.
• New Releases When I Want Them – I hate when I love a book and then need to wait forever for the sequel. So if I’m wishing for things, lets just have them appear whenever it pleases me.
• Forget a Book – I love a good reread but there are some books I would love to totally forget and read again for the first time. Forgetting a book I hated also wouldn’t be the worst.
• No Library/Libby Waits – OK, money could get me this but I’m cheap. Waiting for a hold to come in is sometimes really annoying.
• Read All the Books – There are more books that I want to read than I would ever have time for. If I could read multiple books at the same time (like literally at the same time, I often have two books going) and actually pay attention to them, that’d be great.
• Visualize Worlds – I am really jealous of the people who can clearly see books in their head. That’s just not me but I think it would be awesome.
• Absorb Information Better – In books that have a lot of characters or really detailed world building, I often forget stuff or need to go back and look up what that thing/person is. I’m getting better at this but would be nice to just easily remember it all without trying.

What’s your bookish superpower wish? Happy Reading!
