Top Ten Tuesday is a weekly bookish meme hosted by The Broke and the Bookish. It’s a fun way to get to know fellow bloggers while simultaneously enjoying the fun of a list! And what’s more, a list about BOOKS! What could be better?
May 15: A freebie week. I chose Top Ten Gadgety Thing-a-ma-bobs from books that I’d want
1) Time-turner- Harry Potter– Lately I’ve wanted one of these MORE THAN EVER as I try to plot my BEA schedule. You guys, there is just going to be SO MUCH happening that week!
2) Hoverboard– Uglies– Fairly self-explanatory I think, even though I suspect I’d be really terrible at this. I sucked at my few attempts to skateboard. But, DUDE, I JUST WANNA HOVER.
3) Eye lie detector- Cinder- Okay, I would not want that sumbitch embedded in my eye because, hello, I’ve got this ridiculous fear of needles, but if I just HAPPENED to be born with an eye lie detector? I think that would be pretty awesomesauce
4) The shower in the Capitol- The Hunger Games- Most things in The Hunger Games? Horrifying, totally completely awful. BUT ADMIT IT. You want that awesome shower. You want to smell like roses just like Peeta when Caesar Flickerman smells him.
5) The Luna Pen- Sailor Moon- You guys, among other things, I would have a lot more money in my bank account because I could stop buying clothes. “Luna Pen! Dress me in the perfect outfit for this job interview!”
6) Winged shoes- Percy Jackson and the Olympians-Again I’m practical enough to realize that I’d probably suck at an actual application of this thing as I am afraid of heights. BUT IF I WASN’T, Nike would never have my business AGAIN if I had a pair of those bad boys! Also I am a nerd and therefore feel the need to share that Hermes’s winged sandals are technically called Talaria. But I’m pretty sure they’re not sandals in Percy Jackson. ANYWAY.
7) Wand- Harry Potter (yes, this is from a LOT of books, but I like JKR’s ‘custom-fit’ version of a wand)- You do not seriously require an explanation for this one, do you?
8) Pensieve– Harry Potter- Because like Dumbledore “I sometimes find, and I am sure you know the feeling, that I simply have too many thoughts and memories crammed into my mind.” I could sure use a Pensieve when that happened
9) Ella’s fairy book– Ella Enchanted- This almost seems like a magical Kindle, though I never made that connection before now. Something new every time you open a book!
10) Scuppie (small wish) necklace– Daughter of Smoke and Bone- Realizing that many things on my list are cosmetic… but whatevs. If I could experiment on my hair without having to deal with bad hair days if my experiments should go awry, I SO would. Or I could get that tattoo I’ve always wanted. WITHOUT NEEDLES!
