10 Wishes I'd Ask The Book Genie To Grant Me (TTT)

This meme is hosted by the lovely ladies at The Broke and the Bookish :)

1. The ability to jump into a story and be a character for a day
This has literally been a dream of mine since the day I started reading. I used to wish for this at all my birthdays, all the 11:11's, eyelashes found on my face, ANY reason to wish for something. Hell, I still wish for this. To be Aelin, Rose, Sydney, Katy, Meira, Ruby, Blue, Juliette, Feyra, Tessa, Belly, Samantha... THE LIST IS ENDLESS. Just for a day, so I can really understand what it's like to be them, plus... I GET TO KISS MY MEN. *drools*

2.  Have an endless amount of money to buy books for one day
Wishing to have an endless amount of money for books for life would obviously be great... but I feel like that would be cheating. So I'd just want one day where I can go absolutely insane and buy/order every book I want. God, CAN YOU IMAGINE? Not only would I have raided the entire YA section of (multiple) bookstores, but the UPS guy would have his work cut out for him. 

3.  To have my own library 
A whole room of my books. With a ladder. And a fireplace. And multiple comfy chairs. And bean bags. And a window seat. And LOTS of tissues and finger food. IT'S PERFECT.

4. A website with summaries of books
Some days I get into this nostalgic mood where I want to reread all my old books and drown in the feels. Or I don't feel like rereading all the books in a series just so I can read the final one. So I wish someone would create a website filled with summaries so I can take trip down memory lane or save time. 

5. Only allow cover changes when the series is finished
Cover changes that occur in the middle of a series, or HEAVEN FORBID, the final book in a series, completely baffle me. Why? It looks awful on my bookshelves! I want them to match, no matter how ugly or corny. DO YOU HEAR ME PUBLISHING COMPANIES?

6. For Leigh Bardugo to write a spin-off story from Nikolai's POV
I heard she actually is... so maybe I should word that as "For me to have the spin-off series from Nikolai's POV now now now NOW NOW NOWWWWWWWW".

7. For all book-to-movie/TV show adaptations to ACTUALLY. BE. GOOD
Like Harry Potter good. Or The Hunger Games. Or ______ (insert whatever good book-to-tv show adaption you can think of, I can't think of any!) PLEASE PEOPLE, THESE ARE MY FAVORITE BOOKS YOU'RE SHITTING ALL OVER. 

8. For Queen of Shadows to be 5 stars BECAUSE WHAT THE HELL, SJM??
I can pretend that doesn't exist and QoS was absolutely perfect... but it wasn't. And I can't even describe the heartbreak I feel over it. 

9. CHAOLAENA. CHAOLAENA. CHAOLAENA. CHAOLAENA. 
THERE'S NO NEED FOR AN EXPLANATION ON THIS ONE. PRETTY PLEASE WITH SUGAR ON TOP *UGLY SOBS BC SJM LIKES TO RUIN MY LIFE* 

10.  And finally, a list of all the books I read when I was younger
Especially during my library phase. I read so. many. books. I MUST KNOW WHAT THEY WERE.


AH, THIS POST WAS SO MUCH FUN. What would you wish for? Link your post down in the comments! :)

  1. Oh, man. I would love a book of Nikolai's time as a Privateer. He was a great addition to the Grisha Trilogy.

    1. You NEED the fireplace for those cold, winter nights! Or to quickly dispose of a body. I want mine to be big enough to do that, too.

  4. I would love to be able to jump into stories (maybe for more than one day)! I, too, would love to have my own library one day. Also, if you're looking for a website with book summaries, you should check out Recaptains! They don't have everything, but they have a lot! Great list, Mariah!
