Road Trip Wednesday
This week's YA Highway Road Trip topic:
If you could live in the storyworld of one book, what would it be? (any genre!)
Just one? I can never seem to pick just one with these kinds of questions.
Like, for the past, I'd love to be a vampire who's lived for over a thousand years (feeding only on murdering creeps) in Anne Rice's, Vampire Chronicles...imagine all the books you could read and places you could see.
As for present-day stuff, I'd pick Boy Meets Boy, a high school world where everyone is accepted for who they are.
In fantasyland (assuming my last choice doesn't already count in this category), who wouldn't want to be a student at Hogwarts?
And as for the future, give me my own copy of the Hitchhiker's Guide, and I'd be ready for whatever the zany universe has to offer...As my dad always said about getting to travel into space: "In a heartbeat." I agree, Dad, in a heartbeat.
What about you? Which bookworld would you choose?

I'm definitely digging the Hogwarts world!!! For sure... I'm dreaming of being a wizard right now!! I wish I could apparate to a coffee shop to write rather than work!
ReplyDeleteYay for Hogwarts! And I agree about Boy Meets Boy, too--everything was so open and honest in that book world.
ReplyDelete"a high school world where everyone is accepted for who they are" - that really is a universe worth living in. Love your choices!
ReplyDeleteOMG. I would LOVE to jump into Douglas Adams' books. O_O Awesome.
ReplyDeleteA high school where everyone is accepted? Sign me up! Great choices.
ReplyDeleteboy meets boy is a good choice. i didn't even think of that one.
ReplyDeleteJane Austen or Willy Wonka. But I can never get enough Jane. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm not sure I'd WANT to be a vampire, but the world is definitely fascinating. (:
ReplyDeleteNah, I'd not like to live in a vampire world. In a Hogwart's world, maybe yes--as long as Voldemort was already defeated and gone. Ha, funny in the photo how the books in the HP collection get fatter and thicker as they go along. ;o)
ReplyDeleteHS where everyone is accepted? That's shocking. I think HS me would've loved that.
ReplyDeleteI love the idea of being a vampire and being able to read that many books! Cool!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteThe Wizarding World of Harry Potter is an awesome choice. Oh, and I love the idea of Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. It would be amazing to travel into space. Well, not sure about the actual space travel. That could be scary. But to be able to visit other planets....what an adventure!
ReplyDeleteI think I'd get bored after living as a vampire for that long. :)
ReplyDeleteI agree: Who wouldn't want to go to Hogwarts?
You bingoed on two of mine...LOL. come on over for a visit!
ReplyDeleteoo, I don't know! I'm thinking Hogwarts also.
