The Hunger Games by Suzanne Collins - Seriously, who in their right mind would volunteer to live anywhere in Panem?
Battle Royale by Koushun Takami - I wouldn't want to be a part of the selected classes at all!
The 5th Wave by Rick Yancey - I mean, what are the odds that you would even make it to that stage of the invasion?
The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - NEVER!
Divergent by Veronica Roth - Potentially danger filled if you are either Divergent or Dauntless, so no thanks.
The Road by Cormac McCarthy - Again, who in their right mind?
Holes by Louis Sachar - I don't think I could cut it digging holes 5 feet in diameter and 5 feet deep every day at Camp Greenlake.
The Giver by Lois Lowry - I would question far too much to be safe.
Patient Zero/ Rot & Ruin by Jonathan Maberry - Again, I wouldn't want to see a zombie outbreak turn into a full-scale zombie apocalypse.
What did you think of my list this week? What world would you never want to live in? As always, thanks for visiting my blog, and maybe even commenting!
Panem- no doubt! That would be top of my list too. And the Walking Dead world would seriously suck!
ReplyDeleteI would add Westeros too just because everyone dies in that world lol.
I was just about to add Westeros for that very reason... thanks for visiting my blog!
DeleteI definitely wouldn't want to live in Panem... some of these worlds are so scary!
ReplyDeleteI know right!
DeleteYep, I think you've covered them all! I might add the town where Judy Blume grew up near (I think) - it's the subject of her last book, In the Unlikely Event.
ReplyDeleteHere's my TTT - https://booksaremyfavouriteandbest.wordpress.com/2016/08/09/top-ten-sports-novels/
Hmm, I don't think I've read that one yet. Thanks for sharing!
DeleteFab post and I wouldn't want to live in any of them either. LOL
ReplyDeletesherry @ fundinmental My TT
Totally understandable! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteI would NEVER want to live in any of these worlds! There are only two things you can do in them...Be scared 24 hours a day, or just drop dead. Great Top Ten! My Top Ten Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteSounds about right! Thanks for sharing!
DeleteOmg omg omg I wouldn't want to live in Battle Royale >_< the horror... and I agree with TWD, it's just too much anxiety haha. Great choices wow!
ReplyDeleteThanks!
DeleteThese all sound completely right - WHO WOULD WANT TO LIVE IN ANY OF THESE WORLDS?!...
ReplyDeletesaying that, I'd love to be in The Walking Dead (if I survived, that is!) just to meet Rick and co.
That might almost make it worth it! :D
DeleteI honestly don't think I could survive in most book worlds, I mean even Middle Earth would terrify me.
ReplyDeleteYou're probably right about that... Thanks for visiting, Skye!
DeleteDitto to all of these. If I could choose a world to live in, it would probably be the Inkworld from Inkheart. Could still be dangerous, but it would be beautiful--and way better than any of these!
ReplyDeleteAlly @ The Scribbling Sprite
I've heard about it and it sounds fascinating - I'll have to read that series! :)
DeleteI like that you included Holes (a contemporary) with all these SFF. I would never survive a single day at that camp.
ReplyDeleteCheck out My TTT
Yeah, Holes really stuck with me when I read it for the first time... :)
DeleteThanks for sharing!
I agree with you completely. I wouldn't want to even visit those worlds let alone live in them.
ReplyDeleteExactly!
DeleteHaha, I saw the title of your TTT and thought: "Every single dystopia EVER."
ReplyDeleteAlong with many of these places, I'd add in the world in Scott Westerfeld's Uglies series, as well as Brandon Sanderson's Newcago in his Steelheart trilogy. Because holy hell, those worlds are messed up, too.
Great list!
Yep, pretty much!
DeleteOh, I didn't even think of Uglies, but that would be a great one to add!
I would never want to live in Panem either!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2016/08/10/top-ten-tuesday-69/
Thanks for sharing!
DeleteNone of those worlds sound very fun to my either! I have not read most of those books - in fact, the only one I think I have read is Holes. Interesting list, for sure!!

Thanks for visiting, Sarah!
DeleteAgree. Panem is just a bad place to live. Argh, I wonder how can a person create a place like that. Sigh.
ReplyDeleteMakes me wonder.
DeleteCan we just find a world that consists of just books and libraries and move there?
ReplyDeleteWouldn't that be nice!
DeleteLiving in 'The Road" would be sooo depressing!! The Handmaid's Tale? Ugh, nope, I'm outta here xD I loved the book, but nooo way!
ReplyDeleteThe Walking Dead... Man.. I have such a huge crush on Daryl, but still... nope :D
I feel you!
DeleteYou have a lot of good ones!
ReplyDeleteHaha great list. I am sensing that you are not a fan of danger? LOL :)
ReplyDeleteReading about it's one thing, but actually living it - no thanks!
DeleteI wouldn't want to live in those worlds too especially Walking Dead and Holes.Great list!
ReplyDeleteI've read a lot of these and I agree! They would be horrible worlds to love in.
ReplyDeleteOh, yes.
DeleteUgh, YUP I agree with this list.!😂 Hide me from all the dystopian worlds!! And as much as I love reading about zombies, I'm pretty sure one would eat me within, like, 5 seconds of the apocalypse. 😂
ReplyDeleteMe too, I expect! :D
DeleteGreat topic and I fully agree with all of them! As much as I like the Battle Royale book, OMG can you imagine living in that world?? No, thank you
ReplyDeleteNo, no, no, no! :D
DeleteSuch a great list! I would just add the world of the Martian, aka Mars, because in those conditions, surviving is just impressive! ^-^
ReplyDeleteHow did I not think of that! :)
DeleteAny world before modern plumbing. ;-)
ReplyDeleteVery true! :D
DeleteAgree with the worlds of The Hunger Games, Divergent and The Giver. I wouldn't want to live in those worlds, either!
ReplyDeleteIt's just asking for trouble, or death, isn't it!
DeleteGood point about Westeros!
