Wishful thinking

[KanoasDestiny]

If you could change lives with one character you've read about in a book, who would it be and why? This person can be fictional or nonfictional.

Hands down, I would pick Hermione Granger from Harry Potter. Not only is she smart, but she can do magic! Lol.

Funny-before I read your last paragraph I thought "Herminone"!

Elizabeth from Pride and Prejudice so I can have Mr. Darcy all to myself

I've been thinking on this off and on today, but so far, I can't think of anyone!

Sookie would be fun, but she's not very smart and same with Stephanie Plum (I love them but I wouldn't want to be them). So many of the other books I've read have the characters in situations I would not ever want to be in (even the fun books...).

Maybe someone will come to me! I'm sure there have been ones, but I cannot think of who yet.

Wow, too many characters that it is hard to choose. Off the top of my head I would choose Ann Labastelle who wrote Woods Woman. She lived in the woods on a lake without electricity and dogs for company. She passed away a few months ago but in her day was very much into protecting the land and the animals that live on it.

Lessa, from The Dragonriders of Pern. To ride a queen dragon....and to have F'lar all to myself!!!

luckyseven, I get the impression I'd enjoy perusing your library! We have a number of individual books in common, and genres, too. I just went to look up Wood Woman, as I love tales such as this. I wish they had it on Kindle, as my vision makes it difficult to read most print these days. Sounds like it would be worth the eyestrain to read with a magnifying glass!

When that book came out my mom was in the hospital for an operation and the local mall bookstore (which has closed) had Anne Labastille there for a book signing. I stood in line and purchased Woodswoman from her and she signed it for my mom. It was a thrill to meet her. Her cabin was on a secluded lake in the Adirondacks that remained unnamed by her to keep people from visiting. I also have Beyond Black Bear Lake and The Wilderness World of Anne Labastille written by her. You may have to try Ebay to find her books or a Nature Book club. I will always treasure these books and pass them on to my oldest daughter who loves to read. After reading Winterdance I got interested in the Iditerod and also have Jeff Kings book Cold Hands Warm Heart. That's interesting also. I love nature and non fiction. For fiction I really love mysteries. I have a John Grisham library but his new books are all the same so I think that's coming to an end. What books do you like?

Amazon.com has several pages of book titles for her, although I'm sure many are repeats. Several books in the Woodswoman series as well as others. None for Kindle (yet, anyway).
