Top Ten Tuesdays is a weekly feature created at The Broke and The Bookish.
1. Quicker library availability: I'm being a bit of a spoiled brat with this one, but I would love for new releases to be available from my library within a few weeks of the release.
2. More author tours stopping in Canada: mostly because I can't exactly jet off to the states whenever. Doesn't everyone want this, though?
3. Built-in shelving: which is something I could probably achieve without magic if I would only learn how to use power tools. Also, if my living area weren't so transient... I migrate throughout the house.
4. The complete History of Middle-earth: As I ask myself what I'm doing with my life. The thing is, when I read Tolkien, I almost want to annotate, and you can't do that with a library book.
5. More sticky notes: this could just as easily be achieved through a trip to a business supply store, though.
6. A reading nook: again, Kelly, just learn to use power tools.
7. 10th edition Airborn trilogy: I still can't quite justify buying them for myself, because I already have perfectly functional copies.
8. New Harry Potter books: The old ones are semi-falling-apart, but they still work, so I haven't replaced them yet.
9. The ability to comfortably read e-books: I'm still not an e-book person. There's just something about them that doesn't work for me the way paper books do.
10. All of the wonderful audiobooks: I love audiobooks, but I'm kind of picky about my narrators. I suppose I just kind of want audiobooks whose narrators I like.
I had #2, except substitute Canada for the UK!

Generally it seems that, if you aren't in the US, you're out of luck.
DeleteI like the history of Middle earth one- so much info there. And author tours- I've only been toa few, but they are fun to go to!
ReplyDeleteIt is a lot of information... I didn't expect to find it as interesting as I am. I haven't really been to many in the way of author events, they're difficult to get to from where I live. (Most of them are in the States, and I am not.)
DeleteI'm with you on quicker access to books! I'm used to many of the newer releases showing up within a month or two of release, but where I'm at now doesn't seem to have funds to buy books. :(
ReplyDeleteSticky notes are expensive, though. That's a completely valid wish.

They are kind of expensive for little scraps of paper with adhesive, its true...
DeleteI so agree about narrators! I do love a good audiobook though! What's your favorite?
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of favourites... I really love The Scorpio Races, and the old Harry Potter audiobooks (the ones Jim Dale narrated).
DeleteI agree with you about book tours - I'd like to see more in my area too.
ReplyDeleteCheck out my TTT and my newest weekly post (feel free to join in the fun, if you like).
I get why it isn't possible ( book tours are crazy expensive), it's still the dream.
