Bookish Memorabilia

Aside from having dreams of owning a library that magically refills itself with the latest books, I also fantasize about having a collection of bookish toys and memorabilia. Figurines, posters, plushies, and replicas of implements and costumes of literary characters. 


Here are some of what I've been wanting:


Funko Lord of the Rings Gandalf Plushies
See Amazon.com

Funko Lord of the Rings Legolas Plushie
See Amazon.com








Look at how cute Gandalf is! I can't believe I'd use "cute" and "Gandalf" in the same sentence. LOTR fans don't hate me.













Neca Coraline Doll, 10"
See Amazon.com


Here's an equally cute Legolas.





















The Coraline Doll with B-b-bubuttons used by the evil "The Other Mother" as the means to spy on her in the real world.

The Hunger Games Necklace Pendant
See Amazon.com












I would prefer it to be a pin, like the one in the book The Hunger Games but a necklace is all I could find. Still, it's the same Mockingjay emblem though. 

Matilda Figurine
See RoaldDahlFans.com
Willy Wonka Figurine
See RoaldDahlFans.com


Matilda looking very much at home with her books would look even more at home on top of my shelves.




















                     The Confectionery Genius: 
                                Willy Wonka!


                               
Marauder's Map Replica
See WBshop.com


                                                                       










A blueprint of Hogwarts! This would definitely bring out the Potterhead in me!
                                                                     

HP Broomstick Bookmark Collection
See WBshop.com
          

















This is the miniature of the three kinds of broomsticks in Harry Potter: Nimbus 2000, Nimbus 2001, and Firebolt and you can use it as a bookmark. Adorable.                        









Now if you have gone broke from buying all these collectibles, you can always put them in one place, call it a museum, and charge people for entrance. :) 

I'd love to know what bookish merchandise you wish to have/or already have.

    Oh wow, i love these figurines and book memorabilia. I would also not mind having the Hunger Games pendant - it looks totally chill. And yup, the Marauders' Map! Nifty! Haha.

    Haha! I had to restrain myself from adding a lot more from this selection! Hunger Games and Harry Potter are two of my favorite series. Now that looked again at this entry, I totally forgot to add Iorek in Armor figurine from Philip Pullman's His Dark Materials trilogy!:P

ABNKKBSNPLAKo by Bob Ong (REVISITED)

"Bakit namamalo si Miss Uyehara? May mga notebook bang lumilipad? Bakit masakit sa ulo ang Mafhemafics? Ano ang lihim sa likod ng pagkakaibigan nila Pepe at Tagpi? Bakit may mga taong nakapikit sa litrato? Masarap ba ang Africhado? Sino si Tigang? Bakit may mga classroom na kulang ang upuan? Masama bang mag-isip nang malalim habang naglalakad? Saan ang Ganges River sa Pilipinas? Bakit may mga umaakyat ng overpass pero hindi tumatawid? Sino ang webmaster ng bobongpinoy sa Internet?" I remember having read this book sometime during the end high school or the start of my college years. I did not think much of this book back then. Now, re-reading it as a legitimate (ehem) adult, I found that my appreciation for it has increased.   The power of this book lies in nostalgia. The shared experiences of student life, as humorously related by Bob Ong. And I realized that these experiences, more or less, never really varies THAT much from era to era. The 70s born Pinoy

Instead of Three Wishes by Megan Whalen Turner

Image
Image from Goodreads The first time I've heard of Megan Whalen Turner is through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook . If you follow/frequent her blog, you'd know that she is a huge fan of Whalen's The Thief Series. Being a fantasy fan myself, I've put in The Thief in my (very long) book wish list. Since, I haven't really gotten around acquiring The Thief just yet, when I saw her name on this book I thought it would be a good chance for me to get acquainted with Whalen's writing style. Instead of Three Wishes contains seven short stories, all depicting the existence of magic in everyday lives. 1. Plague of Leprechaun - Tells the story of how a small idyllic town of North Twicking is shaken up by the news of a Leprechaun Sighting, bringing in an influx of tourists coveting the bag of gold that a leprechaun brings. All this chaos proves to be too much for Mag Malleaster, the local innkeeper, and to Roger Otterly, a struggling painter commissioned to come up w

Top Ten Series I'd Like To Start But Haven't Yet

Image
Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. More info HERE . My list includes the series that I am most interested in starting but haven't yet due to any or all of the following reasons: There are quite a number of other series that I have already started on and thus must finish first before starting any new ones; Overflowing TBR as it is; Not enough cash; Not enough guts (horror genre); And or mood swings.  1. The Lion Hunters Series by Elizabeth Wein - I found out about this through Chachic of Chachic's Book Nook , whose taste in books I find closely similar to mine, so I have a feeling I'll adore this book just like most of the titles she recommends to me. 2. A Song of Fire and Ice Series by G.R.R. Martin - This was huge last year, with the HBO series starting all the buzz. So, I am hoping to jump into the bandwagon someday. Besides I haven't had any epic high fantasy since LOTR. 3. The Ender's Series by Orson Scott Card - They say
