Aside | Summer Reading Extravaganza Day 5: Oh the Places You’ll Go! With a Book!

Wow the week has sure gone fast – today is the final day of the Summer Reading Extravaganza and we’re talking about escaping with a book:

Our final topic is books that transport you. It’s hard to take a trip with rising gas prices so thank God we can travel through reading! What are some of your favorite books that transport you to a new place?

Avonlea…

I’ve just finished reading Anne of Green Gables and had a lovely time wandering down Lovers Lane and gazing at the Lake of Shining Waters. Avonlea is a wonderful place and one I’ll be escaping to for most of the summer as I work my way through the Montgomery series.

A fairytale castle…

One of my favourite books this year was Shannon Hale‘s The Goose Girl – Hale’s writing is so descriptive that I really did find myself wondering down cobbled streets in the shadow of a castle – and would look up from my book with start when there was no sign of the geese or the castle walls!

Over to you…
