Top Ten Tuesday | Bookish Superpowers I Wish I Had

Posted February 19, 2024 by Haze in Top Ten Tuesday, Weekly Book Memes / 37 Comments

Welcome to Top Ten Tuesday, a weekly bookish meme hosted by Jana @ That Artsy Reader Girl that features a different bookish topic every week.

Today’s topic is Bookish Superpowers I Wish I Had

I had a lot of fun coming up with ideas for this topic and asked some of my bookish friends this question for fun. I ended up liking some of their answers more than my own, so I’ve stolen their ideas and added them here!

Top Ten Bookish Superpowers I Wish I Had

My own ideas:

  1. Books on my library waitlist always come at exactly the right time, staggered, and not all at once!
  2. Invincibility to FOMO
  3. Books I want to buy always just happen to be on sale when I want to buy them
  4. Ability to stop time while I savor reading
  5. Ability to remember every single detail of books I read – unless I want to reread, in which case, I forget everything except the fact I loved it, and get surprised all over again!
  6. Automatically forget any accidental spoilers so books never get ruined for me

Ideas I stole:

  1. Ability to read in every language
  2. Always picking up the exact books with the exact tropes you want in the moment
  3. Ability to know if you’ll like a book once you pick it up, so you don’t waste your time on books you wouldn’t like
  4. The artistic prowess for bookbinding and fore-edge painting so all my books look unique and beautiful!

Oh, how I wish some of these were real and actual superpowers I could have! What bookish superpowers would you wish for?

  1. Ah, the library waitlist is such a good one! Why do they always only come at the same time?! I also liked the original language idea that I’ve seen on a few lists! The bookbinding one is cool too–I hadn’t seen that yet.

  2. Haze – this is such a good list, and I love that you asked your friends for input and took those into the blog post. I would gladly take any of these as a superpower, although having that flexible ability to remember every detail of a book that I read, yet also be able to forget it and have a reread be like a first read!
