Booking Through Thursday – Visiting a Fictional World

Welcome to Booking Through Thursday, a weekly bookish meme about books and reading for everyone who loves both. Booking Through Thursday was first hosted by Deb and is now hosted by Charity from Writing Wrongs!

This Week’s Prompt:

Of all the fictional worlds out there, is there one you’d really like to visit? Jane Austen’s Regency era? Maybe Narnia (on a good day)? Perhaps solving a mystery with Nancy Drew or Trixie Belden?

Let’s know where you’d love to go!

♦♦♦

The main two that I would choose actually occur in the real word, they just have fantasy elements throughout like paranormal creatures and magic of sorts.

The first place is the fictional world within the Clean Sweep series by Ilona Andrews. The first book at least is set within Texas and the main character owns a Bed and Breakfast of which supernatural beings rent out rooms and she basically protects them, along with keeping the fact these beings exist away from the general population. In order to protect these beings, she has magical abilities herself through her broom. All the evil creatures I am not a fan of obviously but the magical aspect and most of the beings seem mild.

The second place I would love to visit is the fictional London of The Paper Magician series by Charlie N. Holmberg. People have these abilities to manipulate certain material that leads to some amazing and innovative technology in the world. For example, there are glass magicians who can fast travel via mirrors as well as paper magician who can send messages via paper birds they create. I would mainly enjoy seeing and experiencing all these advancements due to these awesome powers.

About Me

Hello! I am Ashley and I simply love to read, and hope you do to!
I am currently 29 years old and living in the state of Texas, USA.

My favorite genres to read and review include romance, fantasy, mystery, and many subgenres of those as long as it is clean. I mainly get my books from my Kindle Unlimited membership, but I also found myself checking out library books on Libby as well.

As you can see, I do not solely post book reviews, I also love posting daily prompt writing, as well as stuff that is going on in my life currently. That being said, my passion is reading and reviewing books to my heart’s content, so hopefully that is something you are also interested in.

I do have a Goodreads where you can follow if you desire (no pressure!) I also have a StoryGraph, of which you can follow me here.
