  1. Yes, I THOUGHT I recognized Toto! If I could visit a fictional world, I would avoid all dystopias.

    1. Debra: I've always thought Toto was the smartest one. I would also avoid dystopias. Futures shouldn't be so bleak.

      Thank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.

    1. River: England in the summertime sounds like a good time for visits although I've never been. I know a few places from blogs that I also want to go.

    1. Live and Learn: The secret garden does sound like a good place for a visit - I love flowers and plants and it's fun to just sit beside them sometimes, admire their beauty.

  4. June 2022, this was my reply to a similar question from the IWSG-crew:
    This is an impossible to answer question!
    I would like to live in several book worlds, the Hobbits' Middle-Earth, the magical world of Harry Potter, Laura Ingalls Wilder's prairie home, Paksenarrion's mediaeval world, the high fantasy "Earth" of Paul Anderson's Three Hearts and Three Lions, The Broken Sword, or Operation Chaos, or the Avalon from People of the Wind. Or the musroomy village of the Smurfs. Or the forlorn planets of Enemy Mine. Or the Palumbian rainforest where Marsipilami are to be found. Or the world where the right dime handed to a newspaper man is a portal to a parallel world. Or Xanth. Or Landover. Or Araluen, home of Rangers' Apprentice. Or the Ringworld. Or Kardemommeby. Or the underseas colonies of a short story the name of which eludes me. Or Pern, as described in the first books and the Harper's Hall series. Or Salzburg and surroundings from The Sound of Music. Or the sewers of New York together with the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. Or the cosy town of Bullerby. Or some of the worlds invented by Olga Godim. Or the postapocalyptic, world from The Waveries. Or my own Unicorn Farm ...
    Do you see a common trait? Worlds with magic, friends and family, and order fighting chaos.

    In the real world, I'd like to go to all the countruies of the Earth where I have not already been, and then go to Italy and stay.

    1. Charlotte: Some of the places you mentioned, I don't know of as I didn't read those books but they do sound interesting. The world of Harry Potter, sure, the sewer of NY from the Ninja Turtles, I don't know about that one but I guess in the movies, it's probably much better than real life. There are so many wonderful places in books, tons and tons of them but I alos like worlds with magic, friends & family, maybe a little bit of chaos. I've never been to Italy but when people talk about it, it always sounds good.

      Thank you for dropping by. Have a lovely day.
