Top Ten Tuesday: Bookish Things I'd Like to Own



Hosted over at The Broke and the Bookish.
Today's topic is Bookish Things (other than books) that I'd Like to Own.

1. A Library. But of course! And this one might actually (sorta) come true. My mom and I will be cleaining out my parent's study, half of which is never used, for me to turn into my own study/writing space, and there are a few bookshelves. So I can have MY PERSONAL BOOK SPACE, which is something I currently don't have.

2. A secret door in a bookshelf. So this might be sorta the same as the last one, because they will totally be combined in my dream house. There will be a single bookshelf, and then if you push the hidden latch in the right way, it will open up to reveal a spectacular oak-paneled library, with a comfy leather couch and mile high bookshelves.

3. These stairs:

Though I don't know how much my parents would appreciate it if I just started slopping paint on our stairs, so...

4. One of these Spineless posters
Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone

These posters contain the FULL TEXT of a book on a single page. The one above is the Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone one, but there are tons to choose from. Hamlet? Anne of Green Gables? Animal Farm? A Bear Called Paddington?

5. This baby onesie:


So y'all know I have no kids. Heck, I don't even have a boyfriend. But someday... someday, I will deck out my little one in this adorable onesie: "So my story begins..."

6. A Map of Narnia for my bedroom wall.  I have wanted one of these for ages, and haven't gotten around to actually getting one...


In the same vein...
7. A Map of Middle Earth, also for my bedroom wall of course!


So I KNOW that there are more things that I want. I know that I've seen T-shirts that are just spectacularly awesome, as well as more wall prints and things. But I can't think of them. So seven is it.

What sort of bookish things would you like to own?

  1. I love the Spineless Poster! I would love to own one of those. Also, the map of Narnia would be an amazing decoration to have.

    1. I know- it's fantastic. I'm planning to redecorate this summer, and it's going to be tough deciding what to put up on the walls! :-)
      Thanks for stopping by!

  2. I love those maps... One for middle earth would be super helpful for me as I normally never know where anyone is. :)

    1. Well, when I read LOTR for the first time, I got copies from the library that had nice convenient maps tucked in a pocket in the inside cover. How smart is that?
      Glad you stopped by!

  4. All of these are really cool; but I'd really love those stairs, except I don't have a second floor in my house. : (

    1. Oh no - do you have a basement? You could do it on your basement stairs. Or stairs to your front door? :-P

    2. Would you believe it? No! I have neither, or it would happen!

  6. Dear Sophia,

    I like to have paperback books that have a photograph on the cover from a great movie made of the book. I have them for The Odessa File by Frederick Forsyth, Marathon Man by William Goldman, and Defiance by Nechama Tec. I also like the coffee mugs from Barnes & Noble that have a great author pictured on them. My sister-in-law gave me one with William Shakespeare which I treasure.

    Sincerely, Howard

    1. I actually haven't read any of those three books... :-/
      Nerdy mugs are always fantastic - and adding Shakespeare into the mix just makes it even better! Everything is better with Shakespeare. :-)
