Ten Book Worlds in Which I'd Like to Live

Joren: Twenty-three years ago the homeworld of the Jorenians in my StarDoc series was my ideal world. Still is, sort of. I'd like to live there as a member of HouseClan Giran from A Diversity of Houses.

London: There are many different versions of London in Fictionland, but my favorite is the London from The Parasol Protectorate series by Gail Carringer. Lots of interesting supernatural beings.

Lost Lake: I actually do live near the real-world version of Lost Lake from my Youngbloods YA novels, so I don't have to wish for this one. I'd probably hang out with Kari and Connor from Dark of Heart.

Pemberley: I think being able to hang out with Darcy and Elizabeth from Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice -- after they got married and left Longbourn behind -- would probably be a dream come true.

Pern: Not crazy about the dragons, but otherwise this Anne MacCaffrey world is very cool.

Petaybee: An Anne MacCaffrey/Elizabeth Ann Scarborough collaboration world, pretty cold, but the locals are utterly fascinating.

Ravelin: If I ever got to live in an epic fantasy world, it would have to be my own. Probably not with the spinners, though. I'd like to go and live with the Srupas on Valanar, I think, as long as we agreed in advance that they wouldn't eat me because I'm old.

Thornfield Hall: I'd go anywhere to hang out with Jane and Rochester, but his estate needs some rebuilding after the way Jane Eyre ended, so I'd pitch in.

Toriana: I'd probably only want to visit my alternate version of America after we lost the Revolutionary War to England from Disenchanted & Co. But it would be neat to meet Kit and maybe have a cup of tea at Sally's cart.

Willowlands: Chalice, the only Robin McKinley novel I've ever liked, has a very interesting world in it.

If you could pick any fictional world to live in, where would you move? Let us know in comments.

I think I'd want to live in Moning's present day Scotland from her Highlander series. But my mother was a Scot and I'd love to live there anyway so...

Old Loves & Such

My guy kindly bought me my favorite Chinese take out the other night, and my fortune cookie offered up an interesting story starter: This sounds sweet, right? Only the first thing I thought of was an old love coming back from the dead . . . . must be October. In other lovely news, my favorite hand-dyed thread artist, Lorraine from Colour Complements , is moving her business from Etsy to her own web site. Many of my favorite sellers on Etsy are leaving due to the whole "free shipping" coercion debacle, which has also soured me on the site. To show support I did a little shopping at Lorraine's web site and got in these: I love her threads and trims; you simply can't buy anything like them anywhere. Her work makes my specialty thread box look like a treasure chest: At night I'm spending just as hour working on quilting the scrap project runner, and I'm making slow progress: I'll keep quilting the runner while I try to decide on a design for t...

Wild Ride

Along with the Gods: The Two Worlds is an epic, dazzling film that hurls you into the Korean version of the afterlife while showcasing some of the most impressive special effects I've ever seen in any movie. The story begins with the death of firefighter Kim Ja-Hong (Cha Tae-hyun) who jumps out of a burning building with a child in his arms. The kid lives, but he dies at the scene. Two strangers inform him that he has passed away right on schedule, and toss him into a vortex that takes him to the world of the afterlife, where he meets his three guardians: Gang-rim (Ha Jung-woo), Haewonmak (Ju Ji-hoon) and Lee Deok-choon (Kim Hyang-gi). At the gates of the afterlife Ja-Hong learns that he is considered a paragon (an exemplary person who lived a noble and self-sacrificing life) and is eligible to be reincarnated -- but there's a catch. First he has 49 days to make it through seven hells in which he will be judged on his sins. His three guardians will help and defend...

Progress

My guy is back home safe, sound and exhausted. I think he just realized he's over seventy now. :) I didn't finish a sewing project while he was gone, but I did make some progress on the beach bag. I've tacked down all the fabric elements on top of the old backing fabric I quilted. Time to break out the embroidery thread box and have some fun.
