Happy Tuesday, y’all! This week, Jana over at That Artsy Reader Girl gave us a freebie, but with a twist. How can you twist a freebie? She made it a relationship freebie. She is asking us to pick a relationship and characters to match. Who would we want to be friends with? Or date? Or have as part of our family? I’m different. How so? I decided to pick characters with jobs I would love to have!
These characters have jobs I would love to have. I’m not saying I hate my job, but it’s not easy to explain what I do, as my job title says nothing about the actual job. Some of these jobs require higher levels of education, while others are almost luck-based. The titles will take you to the book’s Goodreads page.
Let’s check out the characters with jobs I would love to have!

I think I could have had a happy life being any of these!
Fun twist! Author and editor sounds like an ideal job, except for the whole writing thing. It’s harder than it looks to write a book. Ha ha.
Happy TTT!

There are tons of jobs I would never do but something involving books I would! Thanks for checking out my post!
Game Store Owner sounds so fun and very unique
Sometimes I think marketing or advertising would be fun but then I remember today’s version of that requires lots of social media knowledge. 😉 A game store owner seems like it would be super fun! Thanks a bunch for visiting my list today.
oh i love this! Fun post, Pam!
Being an organic farmer would be interesting.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday.
Such a fun topic and great choices!
I love where you went with the topic! I’d be quite happy with any of these jobs that has to do with books!

This is a great list! If I were doing this topic twist, I would probably fill it with entirely library-related jobs. I worked at a library once when I was younger, and only left because I couldn’t get enough hours. Part of me really wants to work at a library again.
I love your twist on the day’s topic. I want to do it, though I wonder if I will find as many good examples as you.
Great list, Pam! I would love to have a mobile bookshop. That would be so cool! Happy Tuesday!
Great idea and a great selection Pam.
Any job involving books I feel like would be fun! Great picks!
Thanks for visiting my TTT!
So many great looking books there. I wouldn’t like to have a couple of those jobs, but the books sound interesting 🤣
Have a great week!
Great list! I think a mobile bookshop would be awesome!!
University Researcher could be fun!
Oh a mobile bookshop owner! But a University Researcher sounds like fun too.
You have some really good books on this list! I am currently reading The Happy Life of Isadora Bentley, and I am loving it! I really like how you interpreted this week’s task. Great take!
Some nice choices. I wouldn’t mine any but the grilled cheese restaurateur (I’m lactose intolerant and can’t stand the smell or taste of cheese, even the lactose free varieties), veterinarian or organic farmer. Anything inside having to do with books or paper or teaching sounds great.
Thank you for visiting my post.

This is such a fun post topic! I’ve done a similar post in the past, and enjoyed thinking about what kind of occupation I would want if I could do anything. I don’t know if I have it in me to be an organic farmer (those early mornings would kill me!), but I had to add Farm to Trouble to my TBR. And as always, I love that you included Carly Hale and her grilled cheese shop on the list – I’ve worked in a restaurant before and wouldn’t want to do it again, but I certainly wouldn’t mind visiting her restaurant and getting one of her grilled cheeses!
Mobile bookshop owner sounds like a dream. 🙂 Great list!
