Top Ten Bookish Things (That Aren’t Books) That I’d Like To Own

15th April 2014 By Julianne 5 Comments

I love this topic! Top Ten Tuesday was created and is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.
Top Ten Bookish Things (That Aren’t Books) That I’d Like To Own

1. A windowseat for reading in. Nice and wide, with plenty of cushions and blankets.

2. Belle’s library from Disney’s The Beauty and the Beast. The greatest library ever to have been imagined.

3. Bookshelf stairs. So practical, so amazing.

4. A Loyal Order of the Basset Hounds badge.

5. A Bibliochaise. If only it had a teapot stand.

6. Tentacle Pirate Ship Attack Bookends! Just pure excellence.

7. A book clutch bag. The very height of bookish glamour.

8. One of these book necklaces.

9. From Neverland to Wonderland: A Map of Children’s Literature in Britain. There’s also a Literary Map of the USA for those reading from across the pond.

10. A Gimble Traveler hands free reading tool. I already own and love the ordinary Gimbles, but they’re difficult to carry around as they don’t have the hinge that the travel versions do.

Top Ten Popular Authors I’ve Never Read

4th March 2014 By Julianne 1 Comment

 Top Ten Tuesday was created and is hosted by The Broke and the Bookish.

 

Top Ten Popular Authors I’ve Never Read

1. Charlotte Brontë – Oh look, there go all the Jane Eyre references, whooshing right over my head!
2. Veronica Roth – and all the Divergent references…
3. John Green – I’ve watched some of his videos, and I have Paper Towns on my TBR!
4. Stephen King – just doesn’t really appeal!
5.Cassandra Clare – to be honest, I’m not sure these appeal to me either, comparatively few bloggers seem to rave about her books.
6. Tamora Pierce – my best friend at school used to read loads of hers, but I’ve never gotten around to it!
7. Georgette Heyer – never gotten around to it!
8. Patrick Ness – I really want to read his books, but alas, time has not been on my side.
9. Douglas Adams – I keep meaning to get hold of a copy of The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy, and yet…
10. F. Scott Fitzgerald – I love the 1920s, so this is just plain silly!

I could have made this list about five times longer, but I tried to pick a variety of authors – including a couple whose books I don’t really want to read. How long could your list have been?
