And then there were None - No, I don't want to be murdered or take part in an actual murder investigation. What these mysteries did though was make me crave going on one of those Mystery trains - it sounds so fun! We're going to try and go in December this year finally.
On What Grounds - These books made me want to try creative coffee blends and baking with espresso. I did try the Espresso brownie recently which was delicious.
Harry Potter Series - I sadly can't go to Hogwarts, but it made me think how neat it would be to exist at a form or school for awhile where friends act as roomates and the full day is fun classes. Ah, I missed out with education experiences.
Fevre Dream - I don't want to go on steamboats, as cool as they were, but these books made me itch for traveling via the sae.
Cirque Du Freak - One of many books that made me want to go to a real freak show.
