My favorite book, in a bit of a different vein, is [i]The Big Golden Book of Poetry[i]. It's an amazing book of poetry that I read as a kid with my mom. Maybe a foot tall, the book is filled with the most amazing illustrations on every page. It was first published in 1947, and my mom read it as a child. It was only reprinted once in 1971, so my copy is pretty worn through.

But my mom read it as a child, and she made sure to read it to me as a child. So the book is filled with such an immense amount of nostalgia and comfort.

I think one of the poems that gave me the most amusement was the puffin poem. A cute little tale with an always unexpected end.

[edit] Oh no! It seems I missed the last contest by 8 minutes. 😭 That's what I get for getting lost down the google rabbit hole.

i'd like to visit japan!! it seems cool and rich in history n places to see and im also an anime nerd lol

I'd really like to visit Iceland! It has such amazing scenary and natural formations. Absolutely incredible country, as I've heard.

I'd especially like to visit the Basalt Column Canyon (Stuðlagil Canyon), as it's one of the most breaktaking things I've seen in years.

- We'll pretend that was on time ;)

I would love to visit New Zealand because it looks so beautiful, lush and there are more sheep than people. Also it's the land of Lord of the Rings and Xena and it would just be so awesome to go there.

I've been trying to decide on the country or landmark or whatever I'd want to visit the most but then I remembered that these questions don't have to have realistic limitations on their answers, so I'd most like to visit the ISS (international space station) or possibly the Moon. I want to experience 0 gravity and I want to see the stars the way astronauts see them. I've read descriptions but the vastness of space without any of our atmosphere in the way, but seeing it personally sounds life-changing.

i would like to visit hawaii. it looks absolutely beautiful and watching lilo and stitch growing up definitely played a part of me falling in love with the place.

A place I would like to visit would be Greece because of the culture there, the excellent food and the people. I would also like to visit all the historical places for an educational experience and be able to take photos.

I would really like to visit Sweden! I got an American Girl Doll when I was young that was a girl from Sweden. She looks like me, and I find the traditions from Sweden very interesting. My name is Lucy, and in Sweden they celebrate St. Lucy's feast day with a big celebration. All the girls dress in white dresses and place wreaths with candles on their heads. They have Mass and all the girls process with candles in the dark church. It would be a dream of mine to go see this in person.

Iceland! I'm desperate to see the Northern Lights in person. They look so amazing.

Although I live in Australia I have never been the the Great Barrier Reef.

I'd love to visit our own one of the original Seven Natural Wonders of the World and view the incredible scenery, whether underwater, from the air or by boat.

The one place I would love to visit is Japan. I love Japanese culture and food, and I'd love to be in the place where it was all made. I also really want to live in a Japanese apartment for a month or two and experience the toilets and showering rooms.

I'm glad you liked the joke!

I would love to go to Italy, like all over Italy. Eat my way from North to South and perhaps back again :D

OOh I would love to visit Russia, specifically St. Petersburg. I would love to see the palaces and all the old buildings, all the historical sites.

On second thought, Imma go with and eat all over Italy!

I'm quite agoraphobic so I don't like going anywhere. However, not the most traditional sort of answer, but I would like to visit my best friend . She lives states away and we met on the internet around 11+ years ago and we've talked on the phone, chatted online daily, and even sent packages to each other. I don't desire to go anywhere but I might visit her if I could.

Thank you for my previous participation prize!

It would be such fun! :)

Um...Like Europian countries and Australia lol!!! Never been there, born in Asi, living in Canada and been to Murica! Europe has those architectures that we'd love to see! Australia I heard is like here, only less people, and there're animals we wouldn't see up here (kangaroos, koala bears etc) that I'd love to see too ^_^

There are so many places I would love to visit. My top two right now are Germany (I have family there and it just looks so pretty) and Iceland (it's so beautiful!). I'm very lucky that I've already been able to check a few other bucket list places off my list already in Alaska, Hawaii, and Italy.

Thanks for the ping.
