As I’ve mentioned here before, visiting Prince Edward Island is my dream vacation.
My ideal vacation companions are people – or, in this case, characters – who are friendly, flexible, independent, enjoy the simple things in life, and are introverted or introvert-friendly. I’d like to have some time each day for group hangouts, of course, but I’d also want everyone to feel free to take a few hours to do something alone or with just one or two other people whenever needed.
Other than books, of course, I love nature, food, history, and visiting old cemeteries, so most of the activities I’d suggest would revolve around these topics. Depending on the weather, we might visit the beach, look for interesting epigraphs at the local cemetery, go for a nature walk or hike, take a tour of a historical site, or ask the locals about their favourite local spots to hang out that tourists might not be aware of and then see if those suggestions were as fantastic as I hope they would be.
If the weather outside were frightful, I’d suggest visiting nearby museums, bookstores, coffee houses, ice cream shops, restaurants, and/or libraries to whomever wished to join me.
Here are some characters I think would enjoy this minimalistic and laid-back vacation style.
1. Frodo Baggins from J.R.R. Tolkien’s Lord of the Rings trilogy
2. Eleanor Oliphant from Gail Honeyman’s Eleanor Oliphant is Completely Fine
3. Celie from Alice Walker’s The Color Purple
4. Katniss from Suzanne Collin’s The Hunger Games
5. Don from Graeme Simsion’s The Rosie Project
6. Alice from Claire Kann’s Let’s Talk About Love
7. Murderbot from Martha Wells’ All Systems Red
8. Richard from Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere
9. Matilda (as an adult) from Roald Dahl’s Matilda
10. Binti from Nnedi Okorafor’s Binti
“…I hear the sounds of melting snow outside my window every night and with the first faint scent of spring, I remember life exists…”
“Every year, I’m shocked at the abundance of growth, life, and wholeness that seem to happen in a matter of weeks. Half the year we live in Eden, the other half on Mars.”
“Come with me into the woods where spring is
Last year I used one of the spring themes to talk about

So here’s the thing about spring and my reading habits:
This means that if I’ve felt the urge to reread something, I’ve probably already done it.
Here are some of the amusing things I’ve googled thanks to books. I sadly only remember the name and titles of a few of the books that prompted my searches, but I’ll edit this post if I can think of more of them.
This was a cute idea for a theme, 
Since Cathy @WhatCathyReadNext submitted this topic, I’ll bet her answers to this question will be fantastic.
While trying to decide what to blog about for this year’s Valentine’s Day freebie post, I took a look back at the topics I selected for it in previous years:
