TX3 - Books I Would & Wouldn't Want to Live In

The wonderful people over at The Broke and the Bookish posted another Top Ten Tuesday discussion for today, January 28. The Top Ten Worlds I'd Never Want To Live In. I'm going to mix it up and give some I would and some I wouldn't want to live in. 

Six books I would NEVER want to live in:

Obviously, The Hunger Games Trilogy by Susanne Collins

I’m not a very lucky person, I doubt the odds would be in my favor.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusak

Nazi Germany? No thank you…

Ready Player One by Ernest Cline

Limited resources and trailer park towers are not for me.

Blood of Eden Trilogy by JulieKagawa

City of vampires, rabids, and poverty are a no go.

Left behind Series by Tim LaHaye

I don’t want to be left behind!

Unwind Series by Neal Shusterman

Yeah, I’m gonna go with a no thank you to unwillingly donating my organs while I’m perfectly healthy.

Four books I wish I could live in:

Harry Potter Series by J.K. Rowling

It’s Harry F-ing Potter… enough said!

The Chronicles of Narnia by C.S.Lewis

A secret world in the back of my closet? Sign me up.

The Wizard of Oz by L.Frank Baum

I have love the land of Oz since I was a little girl .

Wait for You by J.Lynn

One word… Cam!

What about you? Do you agree with any? Disagree with any? What bookish worlds would you never want to be a part of? Which lands would you sign up for in a heart beat?
