Here is this week's question:

If you could teleport into ANY
story, which would you choose ?

There are many obvious YA choices that I would like to list. Of course, who wouldn't want to teleport into the Harry Potter series, for example? Another great choice, in my opinion, would be The Twilight Saga. 

However, I'll mention a book that maybe few people might think of. This particular novel means a lot to me, for several reasons. It's Die For Me, by Amy Plum.

The main characters in Die For Me are instantly attracted to each other, and their relationship is poignant, as well as bittersweet, which might seem like a common feature of YA novels. However, the plot is entirely original, and it involves revenants. These creatures are similar to zombies, except that they look like normal, ordinary people, instead of rotting corpses, and they don't eat humans. Instead, they actually save them. In order to do this, they must even die -- again and again....this is, in fact, their duty.

Vincent is a revenant, and he falls in love with a human girl named Kate. She and her sister have moved to Paris in order to deal with some very painful memories. 

I'm fascinated by Plum's very unique concept, and I love that she set the story in Paris, which is one of my favorite cities. (Sadly, that city is currently undergoing a very tragic, difficult time....) The combination of the revenant culture -- which is totally fascinating -- and this very romantic city is just mesmerizing, and I was totally immersed in this story as I read it! 

So I'd love to be able to teleport right into the plot, and be one of the characters. I would either be a revenant myself, or be in love with a male revenant.

Another reason I'd love to be part of this story is so that I could be Kate's friend, and enjoy all the art museums right along with her! I'd also discuss literary classics with her. In this novel, she's reading To Kill A Mockingbird and The Age of Innocence, and she's doing so in quaint little French cafés.....Geez, I've always wanted to do that kind of thing!

Yet another reason I'd love to jump into this story is that Kate and her sister, Georgia, have the most lovable French grandparents you could ever wish for!  They are so wonderful to their granddaughters!

This book really should be made into a movie, and so should the sequels! I'd go see them all as soon as they were released!!
