Once again, I’m joining in again with Feature & Follow hosted by Parajunkee and Alison Can Read. Each week they post a prompt, which you respond to, and then spend some time visiting and following other blogs (the following is an important part). Feel free to join in – it’s fun and a great way to meet other bloggers.
This week, the prompt is…
Groundhog Day! What book or scene from a book could you live in and have it on “repeat?”
This is a difficult one as I don’t re-read many books so I’m going to have to go back to my childhood, when I read books again and again, and used to go to bed dreaming of the worlds I could live in and the characters I could be friends with. For me, then, there are two choices…
…first up I would join the Famous Five (making us the Famous Six!), which is where I think my love of crime fiction started. As a child I was a real tomboy and really, really, wanted to be George – my favourite character – and have the freedom to disappear in caravans and boats and live on islands without my parents.
…next would be Swallows and Amazons, another world of adventure I wished I could live. I could just picture myself sailing boats around the lakes, pretending to be pirates and fighting my enemies.
The funny thing is that, as an adult, I don’t like camping, fishing or the great outdoors and would probably be much better picking a world with Egyptian cotton sheets and five star hotels but I don’t read many books like those!
What about you – what world could you live in on repeat?

One Readers Thoughts 
I haven’t read either of these but the premise sounds fun. I also love a good mystery and when there is some history involved with a tiny bit of romance, I’m hooked. 🙂
Have a great week!

Ohhh I never thought about using classics for this weeks post! I think if I were to live in a classic id have to pick journey to the centre of the earth, mysterious island or the Swiss family Robinson.

I didn’t know what else to pick as I don’t re-read books. Plus I read mainly books where people get murdered nowadays- not places I would want to live 😀

Like you, I’m a bit stumped as I don’t reread all that much, but I rather like the idea of being part of Janet Edwards’ Earthgirl series – one of the candidates who visit Earth and embark on the adventure of mining the vital material and knowledge from previous eras.

That sounds like a fun job. I like digging into history.

I have only reread Jane Austen, other than that I don’t really reread unless it’s trying an audio verison of a book I liked. To many books out there to reread…lol. I have never heard of those two books you mentioned but they sound like they could have been fun. 🙂 I was a tomboy too! 🙂

I do occasionally but not often and more for curiosity about whether a book is as good as I remember them. These were great books to grow up on with lots of independent kids, something I think it’s important to be,

As I read a lot of crime fiction I’m not sure I’d like to live in many of those books although I do like Poppy Denny in the historical crime series written by Fiona Veitch Smith

I felt the same way…though I’d like to meet some of my favourite detectives I’m not sure I’d want the danger.

I read mostly dark fantasy, horror, dystopian and apocalyptic so I’m having a hard time now thinking of worlds I could live in! LOL but I would have LOVED being friends with the Little Prince and visit his planet 🙂 I LIKE HOW THINK EMMA!!! Egyptian cotton sheets and five star hotels sounds almost as good as the Little Prince planet! 🙂

It’s like me – I read mainly crime so there aren’t many worlds I would like to keep living it. Too dark! I have decided I am too old to not like luxury now 😀

Isn’t that funny how we live vicariously through adventure stories even if we don’t EXACTLY want to do some of those things? 🙂 I agree, books like the Famous Five- characters like that always get cool islands and stuff. I used to like to daydream about those fictional worlds also… 🙂

It is and I think the ones we read as children make such a big impression.
