Top 5 books/series you'd like to jump into.

[Tommy]

This topic is exactly what it sounds like. Have you ever read a book(or series) and just wished you could just jump into the story? Wished you could befriend a certain character? Maybe romance one(don't lie)? Or maybe just visit certain fictional locales.

This topic is about those books, the ones we wish we could live in.

Step 1: Go into Hunger Games universe.

Step 2: Work as advisor for President Snow.

Step 3: Prove more competent than the president.

Step 4: Win support of military.

Step 5: Take over capitol.

Step 6: Use common sense in order to shut down Katniss' rebellion before it begins.

Step 7: Live in decadence and happiness until I die. Ensure that there's a detonator hooked up to my brain waves that causes the entirety of the Capitol to explode when I die.

I used to want to live in Bag End! ;) Or Rivendell!

[Tommy]

And on the night I post this, I'm watching Pleasantville haha.

[Ashley Marie]

Nearly ten years later and I still want to go to Hogwarts, haha.

I also liked the town of Croak.

Middle Earth would be amazing, whether it's Hobbiton or Rohan or Rivendell.

Or Prague, as described in Daughter of Smoke & Bone, because it sounds incredible.

And I was fascinated by the world of Ready Player One.

Ohhh Prague!! And Ready Player One!

Good question! I've always really liked the world in Uglies––but mostly because I just want a hoverboard, haha. I've also always wanted to go into Leviathan. Scott Westerfeld always creates such cool worlds. :D

[*b*l*u*e*m*o*o*n*]

HAROLD: wow, Step 7 is intense!

Nice thread. Need to think about this for sure.

Although Hogwarts will definitely be on my list. I'm not waiting for my letter anymore, but at least an invitation to go to Diagon Alley ^_^

1. Harry Potter - I would've jumped in when I was younger and been a Slytherin in Dumbledore's Army, standing up to the Dark Lord.

2. Scott Pilgrim - Life is basically somewhere between a cartoon and a video game.

3. Star Wars - Come on. I could be a shadow Jedi. Or at least smuggle a blaster haha.

4. Miss Peregrine's Home - It would be kind of horrifying haha, but the idea of getting in one of those time loops is too good.

5. Twilight - In my mind I meet Alice before Jasper does haha. That, or I meet her and underestimate her twitchy boyfriend get too friendly and get murdered.
It's a fair coin flip, I think haha.
Plus, I'd love to live in a town like Forks, even if the stories aren't so amazing.

[Heidi]

Some really interesting choices thus far.

[Heidi]

1. Jellicoe School from On the Jellicoe Road. They pull pranks and have territory wars. Sounds cool to me. Also, I secretly want to meet Jonah Griggs (about 25 years ago for me of course since I am not a cradle robber!)

2. Since they move around there is no particular "place" but I want to be part of the gang in the Heist Society

3. Opportunity Hall with Winger and the gang from Winger - that school seems cool

4. Three Pines from Still Life - that town despite all the murders seems really quaint and I wand to meet all the characters

5. Blue Heron from the entire Blue Heron series starting with The Best Man - I love the Holland family and want to tour their winery and live in Maningsport NY with them!

p.s. of course I want to live in Hogwarts with HP and the gang but I most want to visit Hogsmeade!

I would only like to go to Twilight world because I want to visit the Pacific NW! hahaha I love the Star Wars pick.

I was thinking Ready Player One - do you want the real world or the Oasis??

How did I forget Bag End! I am short too so would fit right in!

the OASIS, for sure! All those 80s references :D although the real world wouldn't be boring either, I'd like a video game that made me exercise so I could play it haha

Hogsmeade, Diagon Alley, Godric's Hollow, the Burrow... so many awesome places in the HP books!

[Heidi]

Agreed on both Ashley!

[Malori]

a little late but better than never lol

I totally wish I could be in Harry Potter, Divergent, Hunger Games and Matched!!! I love reading a series that I just want to live in... even if it Dystopian.

[Heidi]

it's never too late to chime in. There are so many places within HP where I'd like to live!
