K | 1143 comments Hmmm... Will have to think long and hard about this one... Lol.


Veronica ⭐️ | 2384 comments Gold Ticket: The Teashop on the Corner by Milly Johnson because I would just love to sit around in Leni's teashop chatting, eating cake and drinking tea.

Silver Ticket: Moonlight Plains by Barbara Hannay. I love the house on the cover and what a great place to relax and read

Bronze Ticket: it will have to be somewhere with Dragons so I will pick my latest Dragon read Skydreamer by Sheryl Winters because these Dragons are friendly.

Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments I'm with Phrynne on the first,
Gold ticket: Twelve months in Lothlorien with Bilbo and the Elves and Galadriel and Celeborn in The Lord of the Rings by J.R.R. Tolkien...because it is so perfectly beautiful!

Silver ticket: Six months with Jane and Mr.Rochester, and Co. in Jane Eyre.... Or Wuthering Heights by Charlotte Brontë, Emily Brontë, because, because, lets face it who wouldn't like to experience those times?

Bronze ticket: Three months with Jay Gatsby and Co. in The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald...because they crammed so much into a short time, and I love the era....and I don't think I could manage much more than three months of that lifestyle! ;)


Jülie ☼♄  (jlie) | 6581 comments Michael, I might need another three tickets to some book places that will help me recover from the last three!! ;)

K | 1143 comments Okay, I have figured it out! Here are my answers:

Gold Ticket: would absolutely love to spend twelve months in a Jane Austen novel eg. Emma or the like, because I'd love to experience England's Regency Period and possibly be courted in that wonderfully romantic way- Love letters, dances, posh dinners etc. (and possibly a few stolen kisses.)

Silver Ticket: I'd love to spend six months in the land of Narnia around the time of The Voyage of the Dawn Treader. I love the charming character of Prince Caspian and as a lifelong animal lover, I would love to be able to converse with animals in the same way I do with humans.

Bronze Ticket: I would love to spend three months in The Mortal Instruments Boxed Set: City of Bones; City of Ashes; City of Glass,maybe in one of the quieter times to learn about and get to know some of the Shadowhunters and hang out with Jace and Clary and train with them. Only three months, because I would like to get out of there alive, please! Lol.

Kiera - Voyage of the Dawntreader has been my favourite of the Narnia books since I was a kid. Wonderful book."


It was a tie with Dawntreader and The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe for me.

Liam || Books 'n Beards (madbird) Gold Ticket: Perdido Street Station One year in New Crobuzon to see all sorts of ab-humans and strange stuff in the capital of weird.

Silver Ticket: Retribution Falls Six months captaining an airship, because airships are neat.

Bronze Ticket: The End Specialist Three months (preferably the three months immediately before the apocalypse) living in a world without age to watch the world burn.
