Goodreads asked Erica-Lynn Huberty:

If you could travel to any fictional book world, where would you go and what would you do there?

Erica-Lynn Huberty Fictional book worlds are tricky--as far as this question goes--for they are not always fictional at all! Would I like to go to London in the 1890s and traverse the streets Sherlock Holmes did? Sure, but I wouldn't consider that world strictly fictional, only the plot placed in that world. How about Charlotte Bronte's wild moors? Of course! But what would I do there? Wait for ghosts to appear and drink a lot, most likely. With this outlook, I would likely prefer to inhabit the world of Susanna Clarke's Jonathan Strange & Mr Norrell. There, I would find the moody windswept wilds of Yorkshire, the plus parlors of London, and a lot of magic and witty conversation.
