It is a bit funny that this is the topic of the day. Last week, I wrote a post about how I would never have survived Harry’s fourth year at Hogwarts.
There are so many fictional worlds it would be awesome to live in. However, I have very little confidence in my ability to survive in any of them.
I know I would never be able to survive Sacoridia. Much as I love the Green Rider series, I would never be able to survive there! Groundmites or something from Blackveil would have killed me early on.
The same goes for Sheehan and Morek in The Last Oracle series. I don’t have any faith in my ability to survive Clio’s world.
At the moment, I cannot think of any fictional worlds in which I might be able to survive. Obviously, I have no faith in my abilities. I would survive best in my own world surrounded by my books.
Which fictional worlds would you be able to survive? Which would eat you alive?

I meant to write this post last night but I didn’t end up getting it done. I have been feeling a bit under the weather and apologize for taking so long to get this up. Enjoy!
Going beyond traditional books, I love audiobooks. There are utterly amazing (if you find a good narrator) because I can be working, cleaning, or doing dishes while listening to a good audiobook.
There are some books I have read exclusively via audiobook. I have read all of Kiera Cass’s books as audio only. Audiobooks are also how I read Game of Thrones while driving cross-country.

For a moment I am going to imagine myself in Harry’s place during his fourth year at Hogwarts. It would be a terrible disaster! Let me share with you just some of the ways I would likely have died during Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire.
1. The Quidditch World Cup
This could actually probably be two ways since there are at least two things here to kill me. The first would be the height of the top box. If you know me, you know I definitely don’t enjoy heights so that would have been… interesting. Then the Death Eaters would probably have gotten me. I don’t exactly run, ever. Yep, I would have been pretty easy to catch and then that would not have been pretty.

Harry Potter is lucky to reach the age of thirteen, since he has already survived the murderous attacks of the feared Dark Lord on more than one occasion. But his hopes for a quiet term concentrating on Quidditch are dashed when a maniacal mass-murderer escapes from Azkaban, pursued by the soul-sucking Dementors who guard the prison. It's assumed that Hogwarts is the safest place for Harry to be. But is it a coincidence that he can feel eyes watching him in the dark, and should he be taking Professor Trelawney's ghoulish predictions seriously?
