TGIF at GReads is a feature for recapping the week’s posts (which I’m skipping this time since I did that yesterday pretty much) and answering a book-blogging question posed by Ginger.
This week the question is: 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 is HOGWARTS from the Harry Potter series!!! I have always really wanted to go to Hogwarts. I mentioned the other day that I would be a professional student if I could, so I think that a vacation to a magic school would be right up my alley. Also, I might have magic talents I don’t even know about yet. I am eagerly awaiting my field trips to Hogsmeade, classes with Prof McGonagall (who would be one of my favorite teachers because I always love the strict teachers), and time spent exploring the castle and its grounds. I look forward to the camaraderie of living with my fellow students and goofing off a bit. And I won’t lie, I am hoping to spend some quality time in the library with some of those crazy wizard books. I think I’d go down to Hagrid’s for tea every so often, though, I’m not entirely sure I could handle his taste in pets. Oh, and I wouldn’t mind taking a bubble bath in the Prefect Washroom. That thing is enormous, but we’d have to figure out a way to keep Myrtle out. She’s just too depressing. And since it is a vacation, I am going to forbid any of the bad stuff that happens at Hogwarts from happening. I mean, no vacation needs Voldemort in it. Please book me one ticket on the Hogwarts Express, please.
What about you? What literary vacation would you take?
Don't Take My Books Away 
Hmmm… Narnia? its more peaceful. I would like to go to diagon alley as well.
I haven’t read enough Narnia to know if that’s a place I’d like to go (only read The Magician’s Nephew so far).
Oh yes, I neglected Diagon Alley… of course I’d have to buy some books and a wand and robes and all that before I went off to school 😉
ooh, hogwarts. i would love to go to the room of requirement! and i would like to be sorted. (although every sorting test i’ve ever taken indicates hufflepuff, go badgers!)
I would like to go to the Room of Requirement, too, but I’m not really sure what I require so I’m not really sure I know what would be there. But it would be sort of psychologically revealing to see what the Room of Requirement is for me.
I have actually never taken a sorting quiz (wtf, Elizabeth), so I might be googling that right about now…
go to pottermore.com, and it’s like, official. i would also like to see the mirror of erised.
I chose Hogwarts too! Along with some other places because apparently, I am going to be rich on this trip and go around the world pretty much!
Nothing wrong with that! Maybe your trips will be paid for in full by a mysterious benefactor…
Oh I love Hogwarts! Seems like everyone wants to spend their vacations there! 😀
Sitting by the tree beside the lake, with the Giant Squid moving in the background! And Quidditch! Aaah! 😉
It would be quite an exciting vacation, I’m sure. And it makes me so happy that all the comments are reminding me of MORE things I’ll have to do when I get to Hogwarts! haha
