All I Want For Christmas…

Saw this on a livejournal blog and just had to steal…

For fun, and since it’s the holidays, list (in any order you want) ten things you want from any (fiction) book that you’ve read.

What can go on the list: Characters, character traits, objects that are NOT found in everyday life like brand names, character abilities, a specific world, anything is up for grabs. What can’t: Real world brand name stuff (Brand name dress worn by CHARACTER to prom/dance/wedding/special event = no. Scarlet’s dress that she made out of curtains? Yes. Ordinary Mercedes Benz owned by male character = no. Flying car = yes.).

Real people (Shakespeare, Queen Elizabeth? No.) Have fun with it! Don’t forget to list the name of the book/series and a short comment on why that one.

Well, I could only think of eight, so…

Eight fictional things I want for Christmas

  1. That bag Hermione used in HP7 to store all their things.  It could hold all my books!  Although, woe to me if I lost it! 
  2. A Quick Quotes Quill.  From  various HP books.  It makes writing seem remarkably easy!
  3. Pemberley.  From Pride and Prejudice. Because it would come complete with Mr. Darcy.  Nuff said.
  4. Annabeth’s cap.  From Rick Riordan’s Percy Jackson series.  It makes you invisible.  Would probably come in handy someday and it seems less cumbersome than Harry’s Invisibility cloak.
  5. The book “The Neverending Story” from The Neverending Story.  Coolest book ever!  If you’ve have only seen the movie, it is NOTHING nearly as good as the book.  And I really like that movie.  You must read the book though, if you are any kind of fan of the movie.
  6. A glass book from Glass Books of the Dream Eaters.  Oh come on, aren’t you the least bit curious?
  7. A vis bulla from Rises the Night, etc, by Colleen Gleason.  Cause they sound wicked cool.
  8. The Traveling Pants, from Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants by Ann Brashares.  Jeans that look good on anybody?  Sounds good to me!

  1. Great idea and great list!

    Your post reminds me of how badly I want to get back to Glass Books of the Dream Eaters after the first of the year. I am loving that book, but got sidetracked as I am want to do.

  2. Awesome idea. And awesome list. I may just have to steal. Merry Christmas!

  3. Hermione's bad would be great, wouldn't it? And Pemberley..sigh.. needs no explanation!

  4. um .. that should've been Hermione's bag… time for me to go to bed!

    How fun! Harry Potter's world definitely offers up some great gift ideas, doesn't it? I wouldn't mind having Hermione's bag myself! And Pemberley with Mr. Darcy–that does sound nice!

  6. I'll take 1, 3, 7 & 8 also (especially the great fitting jeans)!
