HOSTED BY: THE BROKE AND THE BOOKISH
DESCRIPTION: TOP TEN TUESDAY IS AN ORIGINAL FEATURE/WEEKLY MEME CREATED HERE AT THE BROKE AND THE BOOKISH. THIS FEATURE WAS CREATED BECAUSE WE ARE PARTICULARLY FOND OF LISTS HERE AT THE BROKE AND THE BOOKISH. WE’D LOVE TO SHARE OUR LISTS WITH OTHER BOOKISH FOLKS AND WOULD LOVE TO SEE YOUR TOP TEN LISTS!This week’s theme: Top Ten Bookworm Delights
But I wanted to put my own SPIN on this topic, SO:
Top Ten Fictional Items I’d Kill You For
The problem is…murder is messy, and I wouldn’t last even an hour in jail, so maybe the title for this post should read more like:
Top Ten Fictional Items I’d Seriously Maim You For
But…we all know I’m a pretty gentle penguin, unless you make me aaaaangry, so… how about
Top Ten Fictional Items I’d Fight You For
Yeah, that MIGHT work, if I knew how to fight without losing…or losing my balance. Wibbly wobbly penguins are uncoordinated!
So…ONE MORE TRY:
Top Ten Fictional Items I’d Cry, Stamp My Feet, and Throw a Tantrum For
Please note–clicking the item name will take you to the book or book series the item is found in!
The Time Turner
I mean, let’s think about this logically for a minute. Can you IMAGINE how much I could get done with one of these?! No, forget that-can you imagine how much READING I could get done?! I’d catch up on my “want to read” backlog in literally months.
Magical Rabbit Holes
Because who WOULDN’T want to hang with the Hatter and Cheshire? Just look at their adorable faces!
Pixie Dust
Just a spoon full of magic will take me far away from here…
Okay, so I’m mixing my movies. The sentiment is still the same.
Whale Sails
Because, I mean…why the hell not?!
For one, flying whales just sound AWESOME. For two…Uhm… Well there really isn’t a second reason. FLYING. WHALES.
Cuckoo Clock Hearts
Granted, you’d have to be VERY VERY careful to never fall in love lest you die, but…Eh, what’s life without a little risk, right?!
The Tent of Memories
I don’t think I’d EVER grow tired of opening jars and smelling whatever memories lurk inside. Also, this would be an interesting thing to experience–I, personally, don’t “remember” by scent very often.
Tree Portals
Hey, I’d throw a HUGE tantrum at the chance to visit the holidays any time I wanted. Why isn’t this a thing?!
Patronuses
Can you honestly tell me you wouldn’t want your very own protector of light and smoke? Really?!
Books with ‘Tude
Don’t get me wrong here–I know there are books that talk and have ‘tude out there (audiobooks, anyone? the kindle app for your phone? even that one bear from was back when I was a kid knew how to read me a thing!)
BUT, none of those have their own personalities. Their OWN ‘tude, outside the words the author’s given them.
Give me:
these guys ANY , and I’d be a happy camper!
And finally, just for fun..
The One Literary Item I’d Pay You to Never Create EVER
Because NO, thank you. This would cause a tantrum of a completely different sort. Do it, and I might actually hurt you.
So what bookish items would make it one your list–and why?! Rant and rave at me in the comments, if you’d like! Also, feel free to link me to your own TTT down there in the down below.
Until next time, happy book-ing!
haha hilarious debate over what to name this post- love the choices!

LMAO you would not believe the amount of arguments I get into with myself on a daily basis. If my brain had a narrator…the whole world would be tuning in to laugh at me. XD
So glad you enjoyed the read, though–thanks for stopping by!
