Top Ten Tuesday is a meme hosted by The Broke and The Bookish. To join in, hop on over to their site for all the details.
1. The Austin Family created by Madeleine L'Engle: I read the entire Austin series possibly a million times throughout my childhood and teen years just praying that one day I would be transported into the books as Vicky Austin's sister - especially after reading A Ring of Endless Light
. I've always wanted to swim and communicate with the dolphins after reading that book.2. Santiago from The Alchemist
: Can I be his younger sister who travels along on his journey to the pyramids of Egypt discovering the truth behind his dreams? I adore Paulo Coehlo's writing and the allegories in all of his books; however The Alchemist in its simplicity is simply breathtaking.3. To give in to my "mystery" love, I would be ever so happy to have Sherlock Holmes' as a dad and be his sidekick in solving the plethora of crimes!
4. And can I just say how very cool it would be to have Gandalf from Lord of the Rings
as a Grandpa? Can you imagine the wisdom that would come from him being your Grandpappy?5. Matilda
would be a truly cool little sis to have around! All that knowledge about books - she could tell me what to read next!What about you? Do you have a particular character that you would be thrilled if you woke up tomorrow and he or she were a member of your family?
Matilda is a great one that I didn't think of. Sherlock and Gandalf really would make great relatives!
