Anne McCaffery's #Pern series was absolutely the first thing I thought of for this. They've been a favorite for almost 25 years, plus who wouldn't want to fly on a dragon???

Alternatatively: Tamora Pierce's #Tortall world would be my second choice, because I want to meet the badass ladies who make that world so amazing.

BarbaraTheBibliophage Somebody else picked dragon riding too! I'm in!! 👏🏻👏🏻 7y
monkeygirlsmama I've been trying to come up with an answer for this since I first saw someone else post it yesterday. I can't. 😜 7y
lauren.lerner @monkeygirlsmama - my problem was I couldn't pick just one.... limited myself to two for the purpose of this post 🙈 7y

lauren.lerner Dragons all day every day, @BarbaraTheBibliophage!! 😉 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @monkeygirlsmama Maybe that means you're happy with this life! But if it's too many options, then I say pick two like @lauren.lerner did! 😎 7y
monkeygirlsmama @BarbaraTheBibliophage @lauren.lerner Just can't come up with any at all. 🤔 7y

#beamintobooks I'm going to avoid historical books as much as I love them (thus missing out on Byron or The Fitzgeralds - sigh ) and go with a crew I'd love to hang out with - "don't mind me I'm just hitching a ride to the Galactic Commons with Becky Chambers" (book tag in comments) Making friends with aliens and sentient spaceships and having rollicking adventures sounds like me ?

BarbaraJean Can I come, too? 😏Such a great choice!! 7y
Centique @BarbaraJean absolutely - the more the merrier! 7y

#beamintobooks. I keep trying to avoid the obvious. I can't imagine living without the technology that we currently have, and I would surely die of some horrible incurable bacteria if I go pre-antibiotics. And going to the future would be scary. So of course I am going to the obvious- Hogwarts. I'll teach potions.

LeeRHarry I'd like to hang out with Thursday Next in one of the Jasper Fforde books 😊 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage Modern amenities FTW! 7y
Reecaspieces Exactly what I thought!! HOGWARTS it is!! I will teach quidditch!!! 😂 7y

I hope you'll repost and answer this one! Hashtag #beamintobooks and tag me!

My answer? I'd like to beam into the St. Mary's Chronicles. Why? Smart, funny characters with adventure and time travel.

AllenTStClair Harry Potter! As long as it's after the Battle of Hogwarts..... 7y
Nextonthebookshelf Hmmm. I'm gonna have to say the Grisha Trilogy. It's the series that got me back into reading! 7y

Melissa_J I want to jump into Anne of Green Gables. I love both the time period in which it is set, and it's location (I ❤️ PEI) 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @Melissa_J Oh yes! I'd go there for sure. 7y
tournevis If there's beaming involved, I'd beam somewhere safe in the future well within the borders of the United Federation of Planets, please. Original timeline. 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @tournevis Because. James T. Kirk, right? 7y
tracy.anne8 I just started reading The Chronicles of St. Mary's! I'm on book 2 and love it so far! 7y
BarbaraTheBibliophage @tracy_anne8 I need to get back to it! 7y

Learned more about Canada in WWII than I ever knew before & it was actually interesting. I never noticed his right middle finger was missing as a result. After Spock & McCoy I think Scotty is up there in my favourite Star Trek characters.
