This week's question feature is from Ali’s Bookshelf Reviews

Q: What is one thing you wish you could tell your favorite author?

My Answer: Well, firstly I would have to choose a favourite! *so many fabulous authors, decision too hard*

OK, here goes, I'll just pick one, I bet she will be popular this week:

 

Dear Joanne (J.K. Rowling), Thank you for your wonderful stories, for creating a world of hope, love, trust and friendship, for the awesomeness that is Quidditch and the magic you brought to my life. Thank you for being yourself, kind, generous, wonderful, determined and magical yourself. 

I admire you and all you stand for and thank you for letting me grow up with Harry. You made my life a brighter place, and gave me the determination to keep trying. You never gave up and neither will I. 

Does that count as more than one thing? Don't know, but that's what I have to say. In summary: J.K - you rock!!!

TGIF!

This Friday's Question: 

 

Literary Vacations: If you could take a trip this summer to any place within a fictional book, where would you go? Tell us about your summer dream vacation!

 

My Answer: I love the beach, but haven't been for the last 6 years or so. I've only been on holiday once and that was 3 days in Disneyland Paris last year (which was awesome, don't think I didn't love it because it was incredible) but I know there is much more out there and if I could afford it I would love to see the world. Which is why I read so much, I can feel like I am going to all these places in the world without actually going.

Right now my dream book destination would be Zanzibar Bay from 'Twenty Boy Summer' by Sarah Ockler. The beach hut and gorgeous sandy beach and calming ocean breeze just sounds heavenly, with tourist sights, museums and shops to visit too, it would be amazing. 

In real life my current summer dream vacation would be a trip to Bondi Beach in Australia (would tour other parts of Australia whilst I was there too), it just looks incredible there. I also want to go to Disney World & Harry Potter World in Florida. Maybe when I win the lottery I can go.

I feel down now, this post has just reminded me I'm stuck in rainy England (literally been raining almost constantly for 2 weeks here - yet we are also in a 'drought' - someone's having a laugh somewhere!

 

Happy Hopping, have a great weekend everyone!!!
