This week is Top Ten Worlds I Wouldn't Want to Live In.
Westeros, clearly!
You know, dinos.
This world's messed up.
Game over at age 21? No thanks!
Mushroom Kingdom would be fun... at first.
Mt. Weather might not be bad...
Maybe just for a visit...
Probably rather obvious, but Panem= bad news.
I'm sorry but Chicago is a mess here...
I definitely wouldn't want to live in any of these worlds, too! I've only read The Hunger Games and Divergent from here, but others are still a clear NOPE. The dinos would be the worst--I'd be crushed within 10 minutes or less!
ReplyDelete- Aimee @ Aimee, Always
The world of The 100 didn't start out too bad, Imean yeah it was a bit dangerous and more for the outdoorsy types but a it went on it got progressivly more and more deőressing and desperate. Heading into the direction where everybody dies.

Nice picks! It's funny, so many of the books I read are in modern settings though tweaked in some way! I would definitely want to avoid these places in their current times and whatnot! Lol!
ReplyDeleteHere's my Tuesday Post
Have a GREAT day!
Old Follower :)
Right- like urban fantasies that might be a just BIT too dangerous ha!!!
DeleteI kind of love that you have a "contemporary" place on your list, though I think Riverdale's residents are a little OTT for my taste. >.< Fantasy places are so extreme. They are either really wonderful or really scary. There is like no in-between.
ReplyDeleteExactly! And yeah I had a little fun adding a contemp place- Riverdale would be a little cray cray, I think!
DeleteI picked Panem as one of my don't-visit worlds, too.
ReplyDeleteAnd I totally agree with Sam. Fantasy worlds are never neutral places. It's one extreme or the other.
Here is our Top Ten Tuesday. Thank you!
I think a lot of people did- it's just so messed up! And agreed about the fantasy worlds!
DeleteI say NOPE to any dystopian world tbh. XD
ReplyDeleteRight? I like to read about 'em, but living there- no thanx!
DeleteHunger Games made my list too!
ReplyDeleteYeah that would be the WORST!
DeleteOMG...I totally agree! Or anywhere underground or in a cave!
ReplyDeleteYeah I like comforts. :)
DeleteHunger Games is interesting to watch, but I sure wouldn't want to live there either. There's no way I'd be clever or long winded enough not to end up dead very quickly.(lol) Great post! Hugs...RO
ReplyDeleteHa right? No gladiator style games for me!!!
DeleteAs much as I love dinosaurs, I wouldn't want to be in a dinosaur world! Same with the Hunger Games and Westeros!
ReplyDeleteRight! I almost added Extinction Trials to this list, because again dinos...
DeleteI would love to see a dragon in GoT but pretty sure it would scare the heck out of me. I loved your list and comments. I picked Panem and Westros as well. The food always sounded good in the Capital in Hunger Games so maybe just a quick meal and get outta there!
ReplyDeleteA dragon in person would be... terrifying? Unless at a distance. :) Thanks! And yeah one good thing about Panem (the capital anyways) would be the food, I agree! Maybe a banquet and then hightail out!
DeleteI agree with the ones I'm familiar with on your list, for sure! I laughed when I saw the mushroom kingdom but I agree.
ReplyDeleteHa the mushroom kingdom would be fun, but kinda dangerous??
DeleteI haven't read all of these but the ones I have (or watched on TV), I agree, nope, not for me. I always thought I would want to live in a small town until watching Riverdale! :P
ReplyDeleteYeah a small town from a good cozy mystery maybe, but Riverdale... no!
DeleteI've only read The Hunger Games, but yeah, definitely don't want to be visiting Panem. I would die right away I'm sure. haha
ReplyDelete-Lauren

I think most of us would!
DeleteI've only seen the movie of Logan's Run, but I definitely wouldn't want to live in that world! Here's my TTT: http://www.readathomemom.com/2018/05/literary-homes-id-like-to-live-in.html
ReplyDeleteHa right- in the movie you get t olive til 30, but in the book it only 21- ack!!!
DeleteGame Of Throne???? Are you insane!!! hahaha
ReplyDeleteMy TTT.
I know? Would love to visit, but living there... not so much.
DeleteGreat list! Panem and Westeros made my list this week, too - they're just not a safe place to be AT ALL.
ReplyDeleteNope- good picks. :)
DeleteHahaha - fun topic. Yeah, I will take a pass on all those too.
ReplyDeleteJen Ryland Reviews
I definitely wouldn't want to live in George R. R. Martin's world. Everyone dies! Not to mention the white walkers. Nope! I feel like I'd have a better chance in the Hunger Games. LoL
ReplyDeleteHis world is too depressing. :) And yes I think as messed up as it is, the chances of survival in Panem are higher!
DeleteYeah I would definitely take a pass on Panem, and you're way too likely to die in Riverdale for me to ever want to go there!
ReplyDeleteMy TTT: https://jjbookblog.wordpress.com/2018/05/29/top-ten-tuesday-161/
Riverdale could be iffy!!
DeleteVery good point about Mushroom Kingdom--maybe just for a quick visit. Westeros is also a definite no. I never though about not wanting to visit Riverdale, but I think you're right that it probably wouldn't be a great destination...great list!
ReplyDeleteThe Mushroom Kingdom would be fun- for a short while! And ya Riverdale could be problematic!
DeleteAny dystopian world is an automatic no. It is only good for the people that are on the top of society xD
ReplyDeleteAh yes I agree for the ones I did try
ReplyDeleteYeah they're all bad :)
DeleteI totally agree with your choices from the ones that I've read. Great list!
ReplyDeleteThanks Chrissi!
DeleteWinter is coming... and yeah, I wouldn't want to be there. Ha ha. 😁
ReplyDeleteRight? Although it's 94 here today and HOT- maybe I want winter to come :)
Delete😂😂😂
DeleteI definitely agree with the worlds you've included that I'm familiar with for the most part. I still maintain that Panem might not be so bad if you lived in the Capitol though.
ReplyDeleteHave a great week. - Katie
Yeass the Capitol might not be bad!
DeleteGreat list! Panem and Divergent's version of Chicago would be terrifying places to live.
ReplyDeleteSo true.
DeleteI'd add I Am Legend's Los Angeles, unless I was already a vampire of course
ReplyDeleteOoh that would be creepy!!!
DeletePanem is no, thank you...
ReplyDeleteI'd probably die in Westeros in two days and I definitely wouldn't want to live there, but, given the chance, I'd pay a short visit to King's Landing just to look around...
Ronnie @ Paradise Found
King's Landing would be awesome to VISIT, I agree!
DeleteI would visit Riverdale but while I am there, can I tell those kids what a hot mess they are...and ask Betty was the heck was up with taking Chick in, and tell Jughead to run far far away while he still can. Okay, enough River Rant. I would like to see dinos, but from afar...very very far away.
ReplyDeleteYes, provide guidance to those kids lol. All their silly decisions. And yes I would love to see dinos... from a distance as well!
DeleteI don't think I'd survive long in The 100 world. Also any world that has dinosaurs. Still confused why people in Jurassic Park movies want to bring them back and for entertainment no less.
ReplyDeleteRight? Leave the dinos be!! And The 100 world!!!!!!!!
DeleteThis was a good twist on the question. Most of the time it's worlds you DO want to live in & I'm always surprised when people pick dystopian worlds. Maybe they're more bad ass that I and want to test their skills lol
ReplyDeleteKaren @ For What It's Worth
Ha more power to 'em but I'll take dystopian worlds in books only ha ha!To live in, I want somewhere nicer... maybe the nice quiet Shire!
DeleteNope. Too many bad places :)
ReplyDeleteI'd live in Westeros! Just someplace like Casterly Rock or the Eyrie when there are explicitly no wars going on 😂
ReplyDeleteMisread this at first and thought it was the usually places you want to live in and could not figure out why you would want to live in some of these places!
ReplyDeleteI couldn't survive in any of these worlds. I'm too fluffy! If I was in the Game of Thrones world, I’d be one of those snow zombies. I’d be dead in 5 minutes.
ReplyDeleteAj @ Read All The Things!
Mario. LOL! It could get really tiring. :)
ReplyDeleteI'd live in Westeros only if I was in some isolated place or no one knew about me. If you're important, you're probably dead.
ReplyDeleteI could not do this topic because I want to live in all the places, even if they suck! Especially Panem and The 100's post apocalyptic wasteland. Even Divergent Chicago. And the people of Riverdale never seem bored at least! But one I DO agree with is Logan's Run- I mean, if you KNOW you're dead at 21... nope, hard pass on that. Oh, and the Mushroom Kingdom, that looks exhausting, all the running, jumping, killing toxic plant-people... and for what gain? They don't even have Netflix!
ReplyDeleteAh, Westeros, where no one is ever truly safe. Nope, I wouldn't want to be a character in that series either :P
ReplyDelete~Mogsy @ BiblioSanctum
OMG MARIO!!! Yeah, I could only having hammers thrown at me for so long, and always being told 'The Princess is in another castle'. Nobody got time for that!
ReplyDeleteLove dystopian worlds but not many you would want to live in. Great list Greg!
ReplyDeleteWesteros and Hunger Games made my list as well. Both are big nopes from me, lol. I forgot about Divergent or else Chicago would have made my list too.
ReplyDeleteOh my gosh, GREAT list!!!
ReplyDeleteI wold definitely not want to live in the world from The 100. I see the torture that some of those characters go through and I know I wouldn’t last in that world lol!
ReplyDeleteGreat choices! Some of these many me laugh out loud, especially Mushroom Kingdom, lol.
ReplyDeleteThat Wesley Chu series is so good - totally wouldn't want to live there though!
ReplyDeleteWhat, you mean you don't want to run from dinos all the time? I love that you even thought of the Mushroom Kingdom, let alone included it lol. But like, mushrooms and turtles that attack you? Walking around in sewers? You're right, not a world I want to live in :-P
ReplyDeleteYeah all of these look terrible and the Mushroom Kingdom mention made me laugh. I always die almost instantly the first time I start playing until I get the hang of it so I think it wouldn't be so great in real life. I've also decided that while I love historical fiction of all kinds I don't want to live there Between the bulky dresses and lack of hot running water I don't think I'd enjoy it!
ReplyDeleteMan, I'm sorry I missed this Top Ten topic! I like all your picks and I would've also picked Divergent and Hunger Games for sure. I also would've said no to the Blade Runner world though it is fun to think about.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah completely agree with you on Westeros, Panem, and Divergent Chicago. Love all those books but they are not fun worlds. great list!
ReplyDelete*shudder*
ReplyDeleteThe Divergent and THG worlds are on my forever NO visit list. Also, I've never read/seen Game of Thrones, but OHMYWORD! That world is the king of terrifying. Or so it seems.
Thanks for visiting Finding Wonderland, Greg.
