Day 3: Have you ever wished you could enter a book?

Well considering how much I gushed over JK Rowling as my favorite author and the world she created, its understandable that I would pick her world.

As much as I would love the thought of going to Kings Cross and be at Platform 9 3/4. Riding the Hogwarts Express into Hogsmeade to go to Hogwarts. As appealing as it sounds to go shopping at Diagon Alley and have lunch at The Leaky Cauldron...I am also drawn to another book, CS Lewis' The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe.

Yes, I am attracted to the fantasy genre of books. I like escaping into a world that isn't mine.

I first read The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe in 2005 while living in Oxford and waiting for Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince to be published.

While most individuals read the Narnia books as kids, I was rediscovering a new love of reading and didn't get the opportunity to read the Narnia books until I was an adult.

I wished I had read them as a kid, because I could imagine wanting to enter that series of books. Mostly because I love the sibling dynamic of the Pevensies. Older brother Peter trying to take care of his brothers and sisters, Susan trying to keep the peace between them all, Edmund hating being in his brother's shadow, and little Lucy just wanting to be heard. 

I would have liked to have been the 5th Pevensie and been with them on their adventures through Narnia. I would have loved to have met Aslan and walked and talked with him. However, I do know Aslan, but I know him by a different name.
