That's novel...

Inspired by a conversation with a friend. If you could pick a type of novel for your life to resemble, what would you go for?

They said their life is heading towards a Kazuo Ishiguro story. Apparently my choice of cozy seaside bookshop/romance novel would be like a Famous Five novel but with lots of sex. What's so bad about a happy ending? (pun intended)

I'd really very much like for my life to look like a fantasy novel that heavily features magic. Ben Aaronovitch, Susanna Clarke, Neil Gaiman... I'm not fussy.

And now I'm slightly sad that I'm not magic. Thanks, Julie

Famous Five but with lots of sex! I’m so in.

I’m gonna go with a Murder Most Unladylike novel. So fun, some peril, but not off the scale.

I honestly have no hankering for peril or jeopardy. Just comfort, good food, lovely surroundings, lots of sex. I'll read about magic and wingspan though. 😇😈

I feel a great kinship with Mr Norrell. We both have the same love of books ☺️

Sometimes I wish my life resembled a Thomas Pynchon novel - to be an ordinary person caught up in significant events that he doesn’t really understand, a life filled with absurdity, mad-cap adventure, conspiracy, paranoia, sex, comedy, occultists, arcane theology, unlikely coincidences… oh to join the ‘Chums of Chance’ and go ballooning about the world.

But having said that, Sam Blake just wrote a book called The Killing Sense which has A LOT of crossover with my own life. I actually messaged her as it was freaking me out!! Its like she knew my story, down to country, names and other things. Spooky.

I don’t want to be in a novel. I want to be in a hallmark movie. I’m hoping to find a nice farmer boy who will show me there’s more to life than the rat race. We’ll fall in love really slowly- over the course of three days- before he gets the news a big city corporation wants to buy his families farm and close it down. I’d help him save the farm from my big time big city finance, leave him for the farmer boy and we’d live happily ever after.

Maybe I should read mills and boom novels just to make sure I’ve covered all bases!
